re: The MSM (Lying Media) collectively shuts up about the bridge destruction in Baltimore

General Flynn called this a black swan event, one projected by folks like Ron Paul and the aforementioned Lara Logan. I'm not 100% sure myself, but I'll defer to the intelligence assets of Michael Flynn, former director of DIA.

As for the odd timing, not all false flags need to kill people in order to be effective. Actually, they can be more effective. Consider that at night, there is less oversight, less disaster response readiness, less imagery, and due to the media propaganda, less interest in investigating it as such. Less victims means less public interest. But as said earlier in this thread, the impacts are huge. And there is some irony that the bridge name is Francis Scott Key. There is much to unpack, but the average American will be fooled as usual. This will be a financial gut-punch that has already been severely stressed by the border crisis.

it will be called the Freddy Gray Bridge, not the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Unless they can find a transgender to name it after.

Sadly, you are probably right.

Terror attack - no

Cyber attack - possibly

Poorly maintained ship - probably

terror attack and cyber attack are possibly the same thing. Lives were still lost. Don't sugar-coat it. It's still an attack.

This is accurate!

I work in the shipping business, this happens more than you would think. I can't say 100% not terrorism but everything I've seen fits into an accident.
As far as it turning to starboard towards the bridge after it briefly got power back? Fixed pitch screws initially force the stern SIDEWAYS especially when put into full power and when it got power back the pilot probably ordered full astern power to stop the ship. When that is done while moving forward the stern is going to initially be pushed sideways until water flow around the screws is more laminar and less turbulent. Then the power is lost again and the ship is stuck in the turn caused by this phenomenon.

It's gonna take years to rebuild and half a billion.

Half a billion? Adjusting for inflation it cost 3/4 of a billion to build! Now there is enviro BS and a slew of other things that will help push this to billions, maybe as much as 5 billion counting clean up and an accelerated building schedule. Even so look for 5-7 years to rebuild, MAYBE a bit less.
When this happened in Tampa Bay it took about 7 years to rebuild.

If anything, it's amazing that it doesn't happen more often. Just a testament to how good these pilots are at their job.

Naw dude

There are NO coincidences

Pretty sure his claim that it's the only port shipping LNG to Europe is wrong and/or misleading as well. I believe there are least a couple here by LC who ship directly to Europe. He could acktually] me because many don't leave from a port, technically....but then his comment doesn't mean anything so he's committing rhetoric suicide.

You practice maritime law too eh?

You are a jack of many trades, sir. Or perhaps just a jack. arse.

I kid. Happy Easter.

head of the Baltimore FBI field office was named by Christopher Wray on Monday before the bridge was brought down. Right away he came out to say no terrorism

that was a stunning 'coincidence' for me.

I have adopted a new attitude of looking for 'coincidences' and expecting bad consequences.

the 'coincidence' of COVID-19 and the need for mass mail-in ballots is what tripped my wire. That was a cosmic-level future altering 'coincidence'

Nothing deserves inattention anymore. Suspect the worst outcome.
