The Environmental Disaster here is very concerning, the most concerning. At least the air pollution is abated temporarily. Imagine the state of the disturbed seabed at this moment? We must be very careful. Get this right!
The seabed in Baltimore is about 2' or mercury, 3' of lead and 10' of arsenic.
Need proof?
Just look at... or speak to your average Baltimore resident...
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
Lotta pts to ponder..but never forget China is at war with the rest of the world and they have Joe biden in their pocket. The very same people who dumped on purpose C-19 on the world. They will do whatever they think they can get away with to further their goals. Killing a few hundred or a thousand people by collapsing a bridge isn't one of them but destroying critical infrastructure might be. Personally I'll be hard pressed to think they aren't involved somehow. Argue all you like because I don't care what you keyboard experts think. Oh and happy easter..mb

I was having a conversation with a friend of mine yesterday and he was telling me about the ship he was stationed on almost running into the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor. He said they were going in reverse at about 15 knots and lost power. Had it not been for 2 tugs they'd have ran right over it. He called it dirty fuel and said it happened more than once. Ship lost power long enough to really put them in a bad situation.
As said before - power comes back on, the ship's hard turn is actually prop walk due to it being single screw. Full astern will cause the stern to swing to port, essentially lining the ship/effectively bow to starboard. It's a physics thing.
Your theory makes sense, Teal. But are you not believing the reports that the propulsion never came back on, and the black smoke was from the backup generator?
This engineer HERE has said that the smoke isn't diesel generator out the stack but main propulsion as fuel pressure comes up.
Far too much smoke for even a big diesel generator.
Wonder what changes will be made so something like this wont happen again
The GOV will take over all shipping operations , country wide, forthwith! Problem solved!
No they will let China handle it.
There's an Army Corps of Engineers district office right there in Baltimore, and anther one in Philly. They do a lot of dredging and harbor maintenance construction contracts, and well as civil and vertical construction. They'll get emergency funds and get the contractors onboard quickly. WHoever has those contracts will do well, just like hurricane cleanups.
ETA, I'm talking the cleanup and getting the harbor re-opened, re-building the bridge will take some time.
Interesting in that he makes note at about the 22:30 mark that there's a channel coming in from the left, pointing directly at the stern of the vessel, with an outgoing tide running. Hmmmm?

Navel History is full of ships running over each other, hitting piers, running ashore, etc. It's amazing how much time major vessels spent in repair over such events.

A ssholes are always trying to capitalize on someone's problem and don't mind putting out bullshit to boost it up!! Bastards oughta be gored with a hollow horn!!
