They don't....
It’s amazing that with all the bridges and all the ships that pass them throughout the Unites States every single day, there’s ONE incident like this and otherwise smart people see conspiracy theories rather than an accident. I’d be horrified to live in a world where I am convinced every tragic incident is a planned attack. How do you people sleep at night with these thoughts constantly going through your heads???
They dont sleep. They play video games in the basement.
It’s human nature.
My wife thinks everything that breaks is my fault automatically......................
True; against the idea that this is a terrorist attack I would point out the incident happened in the middle of the night, which is fortunate from a casualty standpoint. One would expect a terrorist attack to have been timed for rush hour.
I would not like to think that this was done on purpose. The problem is, with all the crap That’s going on in this world right now, where it seems that nobody can trust anybody (especially governments)for anything, I’m not really surprised that there are people who think this was planned to happen.

Looking at the webcam video it looked like that was inevitable eventually. I don’t know maritime procedures but it would seem to me all engines, including the backup generator, would be running into and out of port. Just like flying a turboprop, you keep the ignitors on during take off and landing and a few other conditions.
