Why does it look like the Cargo ship Turned into the bridge? VIDEO | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 86872457 United States 03/26/2024 03:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm surprised at how hard and fast this vessel turned starboard. That tells me the screws were MAX Q! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 86872457 Assume this was not a screw up. Why were the lights going on and off? They steered it toward the bridge then cut power, and then turned the power back on the last minute and course corrected to hit it head on and then cut the power again. The ship also veered TWICE toward the bridge support just before hitting the bridge support. This wasn't even close. This looks completely on purpose. Assume the worst. We are under attack. I imagine this was retaliatory.... Let's hope it's a one off and the score is considered settled. Retaliatory? How so? Thank you! |

Go to FULL REVERSE while still going forward ... the rudder acts in the OPPOSITE direction of what is turned to because the water flowing over the rudder is now going in the OPPOSITE direction (backwards as the rudder sees it, but while the ship itself is still gong forward). See all the black smoke come out of the stacks? Probably had an engine stop, got it restarted, and ship then went FULL REVERSE because of bridge up ahead .. but rudder being full over to turn it left and suddenly with all that water now flowing BACKWARDS over the rudder caused the ship itself to swing the bow in the opposite direction, to the RIGHT (starboard) and swing it HARD and suddenly. Since ship was still moving forward ... bow will swing to the right but ship will now be turning right until the forward motion stops and it actually starts going in reverse. Simple ship handling and simple physics 101 for a big ship. Have no idea how long it takes on a ship that size for the rudder to swing over but you can be sure it is NOT instantaneous like it is on a small vessel since it weighs in the 100's of tons ... or if they can even swing it at all if the engine stops. |

Quoting: OneSweetWorld The Bay Bridge is hugely important, as is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Why do you think a hit on the Bay Bridge would have been more impactful than one on the Key Bridge?

Added to the OP Few will listen, Of the few who listen, fewer still will understand, Understanding does not mean believe, Of the handful who believe, most may not know what to do, Those who even know, how many will actually do ? And the rare ones who have done it....... Need not listen to you anymore. |

Newer, more traffic. I didn't like that tunnel. Key bridge served more local/regional travel closer into the city. Nothing shall be so certain as to permit confusion. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 86398006 United States 03/26/2024 03:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This event benefits China because it shuts down all competing exports from this area. So I think China is behind it somehow. Perhaps they used AI to determine how to hit the bridge while making it seem like an accident. Perhaps the AI controlled the ship remotely. |

The US allowed a UN resolution to pass demanding a Israeli/Palestinian ceasefire during Ramadan. Who knows Israel might have been pissed and wanted to send a message to DC which is only about 20 minutes or so away from the scene of this incident!? In all fairness, it could be the usual suspects too- China, Russia, some kid doing it for the LULZ. |
