Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

[Snowball]

What do you see in that video that is abnormal?

just off top of head? it could have been hacked, or an inside job. i'm not prepared to spend a lot of time on this, but..

1) ship navigating off-center of waterway under a lower part of the bridge - why?
2) ship power cut - why?
3) ship power returned, but then smoke seen - why?
4) ship was already headed too close or on target to the column
5) no current or water influence made it happen
6) ship lost power JUST AS it was atempting to avoid the column
7) ship power restored JUST AS it was situated fore to the column (keep acceleration)

it was manipulated either externally, internally or both. imo.

That was crazy, the way it collapsed like it was made out of toothpicks.

Doesn't look like there would have been any time to get off the bridge after the impact, before the collapse.

This is all a psyop to make you think that Baltimore is a real place. All fake, bridge collapse done in miniature by Jim Henson Studios

I've always harbored suspicions about the reality of the east coast (the west coast, too, for that matter).

Rumors, that is all that they are at this point.

This shit happens, not every day, but often enough to know that it does not need a massive conspiracy to cover for it.

This cigar is just a cigar.

I told them we’re going to send all the federal resources they need as we respond to this emergency, and I mean all the federal resources. And we’re going to rebuild that port together.

The cargo ship The Dali collided with the Baltimore bridge, causing it to collapse into the sea. Now the entire port serving Maryland will be impacted for a year at least. But why did this occur, and why are social media users jumping to such brash conclusions?

 

[Anti Federalist]

But why did this occur, and why are social media users jumping to such brash conclusions?

Because the institutions we relied upon to keep an informed populace and thereby an informed electorate and thus a free nation have turned toxic, corrosive and poisonous.

Because they have lied, over and over again, turned against us and become enemies of the people, nothing they say will be taken at face value, and every accident, injury, failure or fault becomes, overnight, yet another conspiracy being covered up, another attempt to poison and destroy your fellow citizens.

This is dangerous because it:

A - Gives a false impression of the system as being all powerful, able to move, silent and deadly, to turn anything in our lives into a destructive weapon and leave us helpless to respond.

B - Focuses energy much better spent to improving high profile, high stake, high dollar systems and assets, into useless "rabbit holes".

C - Dilutes attention being given to true conspiracies.

There are plenty of real conspiracies out there.

This, based on what is known at this time, is not one of them.

Good to see DV agrees.

Wonder how long it's going to take to fix the bridge.

If the feds get their snouts involved, years.

I'm guessing three to six weeks to get the ship channel open again.

BINGO.

This is why I push so hard against the black-pilling along the lines "it's all going according to THEIR plan". Really? Either way you go with this, it doesn't work. Either everything is going to plan, and COVID is the most retarded "plan" ever, in which case, they are retards and should not be feared. Or, everything is not going according to plan, and they should not be feared, because they are not omnipotent, even though they pretend to be.

Reject the propaganda. We The People have the power, we have always had the power, and we will always have the power if we can muster enough moral courage to stop coddling our own favorite sins which the demonic "elites" use like cords to knit shackles around our wrists. We are being sealed into a prison built from bricks made of our own self-betrayal. The solution cannot be simpler: we must stop betraying ourselves.

B - Focuses energy much better spent to improving high profile, high stake, high dollar systems and assets, into useless "rabbit holes".

But putting coins into old-fashioned parking meters costs workers over a thousand hours a year in wasted time, and the upgraded electro-whiz-bang meters which accept plastic and cost 10 times as much are faster, when they work! That's a critical eco-green-agenda issue (also, a central-banking CBDC issue!) and far more important than basic maintenance of roads, bridges, waterways, and other essential infrastructure!

C - Dilutes attention being given to true conspiracies.

Yep. This happened the same day as Diddy being raided. "Pay no attention to the sex-ring that's even bigger, more extreme and more extensive than Epstein's! Pay attention to this boat crashing into a bridge instead! Very fishy boat! The bridge is fishy too!"

I haven't had the chance to watch any news yet. Have any of the talking heads come out and tried to somehow blame this situation on Trump?

 

[charrob]

So according to this guy, the actions taken to slow the ship (dropping anchor, reversing engines) would have turned the ship towards the bridge support.

I wonder if they have let it drift on original course if it would have cleared the bridge near the middle?

It looks like the power went off two times. The ship was going forward without power, but with a good amount of momentum, the first time and when the power came back on, the pilot put the engine in reverse. Doing so caused the prop walk (the ship to turn). Normally prop walk can be corrected by going slightly forward. However the pilot would have been unable to do this because the power went off a second time.

i agree; in hindsight it seems like the ship had a lot of momentum without power so allowing the ship to get past the bridge seems like it might have been a better alternative.

Outstanding, I was going to bring that up: prop walk.

Single screw vessels, large or small will have their stern deflected when in reverse due to the effect of the prop blades on the water and hull.

A single screw vessel, like this ship, will walk its stern to port when backing with a right hand rotation prop.

This is true with either a fixed or variable pitch prop.

Walking its stern to port induces a right hand turn to starboard, that would be impossible to correct with no electric power, because you will have no steering.



As far as just letting the ship drift and maybe getting through unscathed, that's a pretty risky proposition.

Large vessels in shallow waterways, tend to suffer from "squat" and also are prone to "sheer" and need constant rudder input to maintain heading, especially as speed increases.

As master or pilot, you'd get crucified if it came out that you did essentially nothing to stop the collision.

Which, by the way, in marine terminology that is not what this was, it was an allision, a moving vessel hitting a stationary object.

Me?

I would have given a hard right rudder command as soon as the power came back for a couple of seconds, and beached in it shallow water on the west side of the channel.

That creates it's own problems, but it's better than hitting the bridge.

That trick has saved my ass on a couple of occasions of "dark ship" in a constricted area.

The conspiracy theories going around about this are absolutely batshit. Soon it will get tied to Kate Middleton.
