Maybe it was an accident. These kinds of accidents do happen. And, I'm far from a shipping expert. But, seems to me that if the ship had any control at all, the space without support structure was awfully large for it to still manage a direct hit.

Something I think is somewhat negligent is the absence of any collision barriers around the bridge supports. This isn't the first bridge to have an ocean going vessel strike a pier supporting the bridge and causing catastrophic damages. There should be collision abutments around the support piers for every bridge that has barge and large vessels passing under them.

If a ship drops anchor on the Port side, how does it make a hard right turn?

They said they turned left. Why did the ship veer right, straight into the one support that takes down the entire bridge?

Wray just named a new head of FBI Baltimore field office on Monday. Why did the FBI come out in the early morning hours stating that there was no evidence of a cyber attack or terrorist attack?

Lara Logan was on the Warroom stating her sources in the intelligence community, both active and retired, stated with certainty it was a cyber attack. Why no thread on TD about this?

There are no coincidences.

for sure - first thing I thought of was = w.t.f. - no abutments??

That was a frail looking bridge to begin with - over the past 75 years, seems like the collisions that have occurred would have been a wakeup call. Cannot be that expensive compared to the cost of a potential bridge collapse.

it was not an accident,the ship was remotely controlled,the voyage data recorder was OFF,which has a redundant power source,like a UPS.was intentionally turned off.the DOT just happened to be working on the bridge and had 2 minutes to stop all traffic,no cars were on the bridge at the moment of impact.also the CEO of the shipping co. is mitch mcconnell`s sister in law,who mysteriously backed her tesla into a pond at a texas ranch and drowned about a week ago.pretty fishy stuff
