Yeah, while riding their momentum forward at eight knots, they didn't drop anchor. What were they thinking?!?I read that they did at least drop the port anchor, but it had little to no effect on stopping the ship.

If you look at the video to the crash it is obvious that the engines were full power form the excessive black smoke coming out of the stacks before
the crash.

The catastrophic damage to the bridge was foreseeable. Diligent maintenance of the bridge would have included bolstering the piers to account for the increase in ship size over the years.
Who is responsible for the bridge?

Make sure the Captain of the ship wasn’t the cook two weeks ago.

Have to consider the current also/how it moved the vessel if no steering was possible. Wind, too, from what I understand, when containers are stacked that high on a big ship of that nature. It acts sort of like a sail. If the wind was unfavorable early that morning, pushing the ship towards the bridge support, that would have compounded the problem.

Maintenance and Quality aren't sexy enough to receive the funding necessary to sustain safe operations. A small sacrifice if it redirects vital funds to DEI consultants, Pride Events, and sensitivity training sessions.
To: rxsid
There was not enough time before the ship hit the bridge to drop anchors Well damn, here’s the port side of the ship with the anchor chain paid out.
Daily Fail spewing whatever ….
To: rxsid
Supposedly, they did drop an anchor and sent out a Mayday, which gave them time on the FSK bridge to stop traffic and save lives.
My first thought was this was terrorism / assymetric warfare.
Accident, sabotage, hack of computers, recon by fire, shutting down an important east coast port to hurt our logistics abilities, on supplying Ukraine?
Who knows?
I do suspect that the Russia / China / Iran / NORK axis wants a war with the US while Pedo Joe is in office.
We have never been weaker and now would be the time to strike.
Was this the first move?

Owners skimping on maintenance. The simplest explanation, absent other evidence, yes. But pretty much everybody around here is a committed conspiracy-theory nutjob nowadays. It's why self-described "conservatives" can't never seem to have nice things. They live in fantasy world of their own.

there is nothing that could have been done to that bridge including bolstering the piers which would have prevented the collapse.
the only thing that could have been done to prevent that would have been using tugs move ships like that until after clearing the bridge.
