The video is crazy.  That is a main travel route too.  They are screwed.

Speculation is it was a cyber attack which caused the loss of power several minutes before impact which caused the fire 

why the fuck would terrorists take out a bridge in the middle of the night when there are so few vehicles on it? usually their goal is to terrorize-meaning kill lots of people. this isn't that

You read/listen/watch AND regurgitate some dumb f*ckin' shit.

Generally I refrain.  Live and let live, you know.  But sometimes you have to call a spade a spade.

News said that the harbor pilot reported the loss of propulsion in time to have the bridge access blocked, though some vehicles were caught in the middle.  Also, ships often head out with the tide, so the ship's speed would've remained relatively high.

Later news is that the ship's rudder became useless, they called a "mayday", and the bridge was almost completely emptied, only 8 persons on it (maintenance workers?) with 2 rescued and 6 missing.  If that's true, it could've been much worse.  
The Army COE is to be tasked to help on the rebuild but it'll still take a long time (a year plus?) before it's replaced.  Pres. Biden said that the government (us) will pay for the rebuild rather than waiting while trying to get the shipping company to pay, though I could see a concurrent attempt being made.

"some @sshat MBA woke ding dong bean counter" is a new one.  guy sounds like a joy.  rational one at that.

 

 

 

That first comment is spot on.  Everyone’s knee jerk reaction is to blame anyone they have a grudge against.

It couldn’t possibly just be something as simple as a power failure, loss of steering, with the captain calling mayday and everything being done by the book?

It’s got to be drugs, terrorists, I’ve even seen illegal immigrants (or check immigration status of crew), now woke people with MBAs, etc.
