Additional info on the Baltimore Francis Scott Key Bridge disaster
Re: Additional info on the Baltimore Francis Scott Key Bridge disaster
Anything could have happened from a catastrophic fault with the system to a cyberattack from Russia.
Speculation doesn't answer anything and it does not help anyone.
Be patient and wait for actual answers from experts rather than some gobby know it all on twitter.

This isn't speculation. It is looking for and posting information not published in the main stream.
If you don't care to see or consider information unfamiliar to you, I encourage you to ignore my posts.
You will be told what to think and what is "real" by exercising your right to "be patient".

Link to the excellent War Zone article linked in the tweet above:
https://www.twz.com/sea/two-of-the-fast ... e-collapse
"The current state of readiness of the RRF fleet as a whole is unknown. However, at a hearing last year, MARAD Director Ann Phillips, who is also a retired Navy Rear Admiral, told members of the House Armed Services Committee that she “was not at all confident” that all RRF ships could be activated if required, according to USNI News.
The core of the Navy's current plan for sustaining and potentially expanding sealift capacity is to continue helping to fund MARAD's acquisition of commercial cargo vessels for conversion to military use. The Department of Transportation, through MARAD, has also implemented a new initiative utilizing privately-owned ships to help bolster sealift capacity.
Yesterday's incident in Baltimore now presents an additional complication for the RRF fleet, with four of its ships, including the two examples of the highly capable Algol class, blocked in port."

The captain, Ukranian or not, was not in charge of the vessel, the pilots were. Both of them. There isn't a major port in the US that allows a captain to bring a container ship into or out of the harbor.clusterchuck wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 11:27 amBased the last few replies (and hundreds or thousands prior), this message board exists to post and discuss "finished investigations" only - with a strong preference for the origin of those "investigations" to be approved resources such as "name brand" media, government or other "recognized authority".
Otherwise people who post information counter to the above are labeled (ignorant/gullible/MAGA/conspiracy theorist/fiil_in_the_blank).
TWIS: attempts to suppress free speech and independent research are given the attention they deserve.
Now, let's deal with reality. A ship that big, without power, is nothing but a huge sail. The wind at the time of the crash was about 12 knots from the SSE. The pilots, recognizing they were going to crash, dropped anchor while they sent their mayday.

It is speculation as none of us have any expertise in this field.
I do not know what caused the ship to malfunction. I only know that it did.
