Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Baltimore Bridge Collapse

I don’t think he has any intension of such.

Much like the truck....that hit you face first?

Or the Cheeto's & Donuts?

Greybull bridge builders....

The beauty of conspiracies is it absolves you of any accountability for the events of your own life.

Always the boogey man that kept you from being what you wanted or doing what you liked.

When that's your world lens - it's how EVERYTHING must happen otherwise your ego and world collapses. You have to take accountability.

"Hey did you hear about the Jewish cyber-attack that made my milk expire while I was on vacation?"

The companys allowed to to bid on that project will already be at least 1/2 billion liquid.

All of this back an forth is increasing my tention level.

This thread needs some Jag in it.

He's in a bunker, getting the 411 direct from Q-bert. I'm sure he's sure it's a directed energy weapon that just LOOKED like a ship.

Yes, yes, yes, we are dealing with .gov here. So full sentiment on your thoughts. A quick thinking captain, harbor pilot, coast guard...could have called 911 and said block the bridge entrances with cop cars, fire trucks, garbage trucks, anything that a city had on the local streets that time of night. Watching it happen reminds me of the Austin Powers seen where he runs from the steamroller. Clearly this wasn't a super sudden situation and there was time to put some safety provisions in place. Geez, if the blocked just one side the bridge, that would be half as many people involved.

Wow.... nice work... that image leave a mark.

if that's true it won't be long until the liberals are hollering it was the Russians that hijacked it or some [bleep]

His mangling of English is as shocking as running into a high tention line!

Some good info on the incident

Usually there are only 2 main generating plants, but all power is routed through the main bus ....any failure of a switch, relay, overload trip, or phase sync trip, can kill all power. The half century of automation to eliminate labor/crew has a downside. Engine crew used to have enough staff to constantly patrol and were right there...they could immediately react...perhaps holding a failed component in place manually with an insulated hotstick. Nowadays an engineering officer on watch is notified by computer or the power going off...a lot of time wasted responding...time a ship may not have.

I watch twice.... perfectly lined up on the pillar... Hell even the camera was in the right spot

Admittedly, I know nothing about ships, a little about river barges, quite a bit about inland fishing boats, But,I still have trouble understanding why the tow boats are not required all of the way to the ocean, with a ship that size. miles

And this my friends is the key to the whole mess...the shipowners have fought this forever, it's all about the money...within seconds the pilots could have had 12,000 hp guiding the disabled hulk through the bridge footings.

For most of the time - it doesn't have power or steerage. When it does, it went full astern (the smoke is this ship basically rolling coal to do so) and without steering in reverse on a single screw vessel - prop walked the boat. Stern goes to port - lining up the ship and drift forward into the pilling.

Human error.

I find it amusing that some of you couldnt possibly imagine this not being an accident. There currently is not enough info out there for me to form a good opinion yet, but after all the insanity we have seen in the past few years, anything is possible. This could be cyber or lord knows what. Could just be a bad accident as well. Laughing off either possibility is very short sighted
