Why does it look like the Cargo ship Turned into the bridge? VIDEO

OMG Exactly!

master hack mayar the russian destruction

Nobody on any thread can answer why ANY ACTION was taken once the power goes the first time.
All operations should have ceased..
And the logic of my statement is clearly bolstered as the ship loses power AGAIN after taking action.
Had the ship shut down and drifted it would have gone nowhere near the bridge.

2 miles to White House from Key Bridge.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that would pull the ship in the opposite direction from where it hit if they went full reverse woul it not? The only way for that trajectory to have continued is of the thrust was still forward, no?

Dropped anchor.. Case closed.

Port side exhaust black smoke indicates port side was gunned. My theory is they tried to hard reverse port which would have pulled the bow to port in an attempt to miss the pilon.....just a theory

That's a sound hypothesis.

Add to add to it, it was after the 1st power outage that he ship took a turn toward the pylon.

its the

dropped chains automatically on blackout [ and what caused the blackout at exactly that time [ theory]

somebody knew chain length on right chain was long enough to catch the right approach piling [ as seen from the bridge]
and would swing the ships bow exactly into the support piling

which should be , by design nearly impossible unless the shop loses power at and exact point and the anchors drop automatically

in the CG video , it looks like the right ship side where the anchor chain would be , looks ripped out as if the chain caught , swung the ship and then [ probably broke]

still in no way precludes terrorism , but power loss..

just would be some dam clever trrorist to have thought this one up

The engines did not fail or quit. Just watch the video. The engines never stop belching out thick black smoke! The engines did not lose power. The msm is also spouting this same engine failure nonsense.

Just a coincidence I guess….

They also claimed immediately that the black smoke was engine failure…. lol

Agree. Investigation will hopefully get to the bottom of it.

There is more than one engine on that boat

If they lost power...the steering would fail during the time the power was out.

Yes. A different Key Bridge.

it wasn't avoiding, it was correcting the slight oversteer
of the first power on to ensure a hit.

.

i know you were. i meant One Sweet World.

As others are saying, the black smoke indicates the engines were fine and just at full power, whether it was full power to intentionally hit or trying to reverse or evade is up for debate.

LOL! If an engine is not running how does it belch out thick black smoke exhaust?

diesel engines require power to run?

And you can see from the videos that the ship was NOT pointed at the support when it initially lost power . So, if they dropped anchor at that time it would have dragged in whatever direction it was already going. The ship may very well have grounded on the side of the Patapsco River but wasn't actually pointed AT the bridge until the power came back on.

There doesn't seem to be any plausible reason for the ship to turn once the power is back on unless the systems on board commanded it. They would not have restarted the engines under full throttle. After the power was restored the ship would still be listless on its own.

I'm not buying the story. Doesn't add up. Video pretty clearly shows them ramming the support IMHO. They hit that thing AT SPEED. The ship didn't speed up by itself.

Not claiming to be a shipping professional but I don't believe there is no way to disable automatic control, either. Pretty much every piece of commercial machinery ever made has a manual override. If there was a compromise, the crew should have recognized that, disabled the automation (I bet there is a BIG red button somewhere on that bridge) and manually haulted the ship until they could figure out what was wrong.

Hell, I have a whiz-bang Fandango rangers self driving car and there is still a button on the steering wheel that immediately disables ALL driving automation.

Ummmmm no

Exactly , clearly to see the correction so the vessel hit the pillar

The destroyed bridge is Francis Scott Key bridge not simply the Key bridge. Ya know the guy that wrote The Star Spangled Banner.

No, diesel engines do not require electricity.

Boat appears to be operational at time of impact to me. Fully lit... Smokestacks billowing... Trajectory changing...

It's almost like someone was driving the boat and drove it straight into a bridge!

LMAO!! don't you love burning people?

Remember Obama and 911 as his wining Catchphrase.
Now biden can try to win with 263 !
Did any one See the second Boat hit the other tower?

there are 2 tugs that travel along with each large vessel down the bay which takes about 8 hours.

the pilot/port masters board and help the Capt and crew navigate the entire bay. they swap at each leg of the trip.
but i dont know bridges, just what i see each time we sail down the bay.
