. These days, everybody's on the misinformation/conspiracy theory money-grubbing bandwagon. Everybody knows it was those cheap Chinese fuel filters that they bought off Alibaba.
Part of terrorism is to plan an 'accident' like this and then make sure the blame looks like it belongs to someone else, or something else.
No question this country is a target for foreign entities that want to destroy this nation from within. And its not a big challenge when we have a leader who is asleep at the wheel, has no intelligence left in his brain, is controlled by others behind the scene, who have a goal to reverse this nation's direction, and all of these WOKE people are ( whatever the hell WOKE is suppose to be).
I personally think things like this are foreign entities UNTIL we rule out that they are not.
I'll wait until it is proven it was a fluke accident, and not caused by outside enemies of this nation...
Hell, I wouldn't rule out that its something the democRATS are pulling to shut down the country and blame it on the conservatives and Republicans... just like the Nazis did, when they burned down the Reichstag and then blamed it on the communists.... Too Many Americans are lost in the concept that " it can't happen here"..... well 9/11 couldn't happen here, but it did anyway....
and the DemocRATS didn't orchestrate the Jan 6 fallacy, to blame the conservatives that were in DC that day, claiming they had planned an insurrection, to overthrow the government..... The liberal left and foreign entities really don't care how it looks, they will just blame the other side, and then call them deniers.
Wouldn't surprise me if it was caused by outsiders or the DNCC... 9/11 wasn't caused by outsiders right? and Jan 6th wasn't caused by the DNCC either, right? This was just a simple accident... RIGHT? Sure it was....

She's angry, and has every right to be. She gets a pass on some wackiness.

If you got off the computer/phone/tablet for a few moments and tried to build something, hire people, or work in the marketplace, you'd realize 99.9% of fu ck ups are explained by frank incompetence.
Because most people in a field arent really quite as skilled or talented as they'd let on.
I dont know why we dont just listen to the Media reports on what the experts at the 3 letter agencies tell them to.

Seafire I think we are stretching terrorism as a definition here; terrorism is defined as an overt violent act aimed to make a political statement and place many in fear. I am not suggesting this event was planned nor am I suggesting it was simply an accident nor am I suggesting it was anything in the absence of a proof of evidence. However if we look at everything as terrorism then at some point nothing is terrorism. We simply don’t know and as the public we may never really know which seems more the case these days. In any case until more is known I do not think we should rush to just label it as terrorism.

A Maryland pilot was on the bridge of the Dali at 1:25 a.m. Tuesday when the entire ship suddenly went dark. Without warning, the generator, the radar, the navigational equipment, the ship’s propulsion and the engine all shut down.

Key to understanding what went wrong will be figuring out what failure hit both the engine, which is powered by diesel fuel, and the generator at the same time. Diamond said he can’t speculate on the cause. Both the generator and the engine are in the same area of the ship, he said. “We don’t have any idea why the engine stopped working,” Diamond said.
Look back to 9/11 and the day after. Did anyone really believe it was anything other than a terrorist attack, even after we all saw Building 7 collapse for no apparent reason? Today I firmly believe, best case scenario, that the U.S. government was complicit in the attacks. Worst case is that they facilitated the attacks. I’m more in the facilitated camp. The point is, I trust absolutely nothing the government tells us, and the truth is usually far from what is being reported.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Do the generator and the engine both run from the same fuel tank? It could be they got a bad load of fuel in Baltimore.

Looking at the video, the lights just go out for a few seconds. Just enough time for a back up systems to kick on.
Also, the main engine was running at the time of the impact. Looks like they were in hard reverse from the black smoke. Very hard reverse. When you hit high rpm on a diesel you get black smoke. I see it all the time.
Not sure how long the main was down before they got it going again but with a ship that size and in a channel it wouldn’t take long for you to get into trouble.
It’s not uncommon at all for boats to temporarily loose power with an electrical or fuel problem.
Now, there is speculation that the sharp turn at the end was from them tossing the hook.
