Well dude, it's obvious you have never, ever been involved in investigating complex industry mishaps. Information evaluation requires an open mind which you do not have.

Lara Logan was just on War Room, she's not totally convinced there isn't some information being withheld, that bridge was a vital link to the city of Baltimore.

The international shipping industry is very shady. The crew, except for the captain, is likely all poor barely trained Asians. The probability of a poor maintenance mishap is light years higher than sabotage.

That is a hell of a theory.
Is there insurance on that bridge, and is it federal property? I know the Huey P Long bridge is state property and the state has to find insurance for it.

True and based on what little info we have so, it seems reasonable to assume this was an accident.
Yet why is it so many people harbor suspicions that something is nefarious at work in disasters such as this?
You can thank the MSM and the U.S. Government itself for that.

Yea, you’re so much better informed than Lara Logan. Go make yourself a sandwich.

This was not an accident. Period. Full stop.

Until you understand the safeguards that are in place to keep this from happening and the situation that took place I suggest you look at your meme and adhere to it. This was not an accident period.

I work at a port, I'm 63 and started at 17. I've seen ships lose their engines, rudder, radar, etc. shite happens, this MIGHT be some kind of attck but this happens more than one might think, not every day but it is not unheard of. I've seen ships smash into our dock due to mechanical malfunctions AND/OR human error.
At this point in time I think it is just a freak accident, had this happened several minutes earlier or even two minutes later the bridge would still be standing. What I can't understand is why the bridge piers were not not protected by bulwarks to keep a ship from hitting them because this is a VERY VERY busy port terminal complex.
There are now a half dozen ships trapped inside of this area NOT counting the MV Dali. Plus it appears from my Marine Traffic app there are 11 ships waiting or were waiting to get in there.

Except that it was. Whether caused by mechanical or human error has yet to be seen. It wasn't sabotage, though.
Didn't know we had so many conspiracy nuts here.
Actually... I guess I did.

likely hood of container ship sabotage has to be pretty high

Lara Logan lost a lot of credibility with that post.

So all four generators (if so equipped) and presumably at least two diesel engines failed at the same time? These ships are built with redundancies to prevent that. Also, electrical failure could have been in the switch gear, but then all four? Plus the diesels are usually isolated from the electrical system, but things like bow thrusters are not.

Well it’s settled then. You have declared it an accident and you have all of the evidence. Thank you for the quick and factual evidence and detailed report inspector. GTFO of here with your speculations. You nor I know for sure what happened.
