The Dali, built by Hyundai Heavy Industries in South Korea, meeting the designs of the owner Oceanbulk Maritime SA and ocean transport service Maersk:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MV_Dali

was “a single screw.” I incorrectly assumed at least “twin screws” - 1 port side plus 1 starboard side.

A single screw boat / ship / vessel is prone to the propellor “walking” (known as paddlewheel effect or asymmetric blade thrust) - partcularly when the vessel is set to run in Reverse motion.

From the rear view: A right hand prop rotates clockwise when the vessel is set to run in Forward motion . . . and counter-clockwise when the vessel is set to run in Reverse motion.

In Reverse, the stern of the vessel “walks” to port - to the left.

So, in the crosswind of 8 knots from the east “working” on the very high and large “sail” of the vessel+containers ship heading southeast, and now including the prop “walking” the stern to port . . . the FSK Bridge support was in the way.

The ship has 1 stern rudder, plus 1 bow thruster.

When in forward motion (”under way”) and very heavy, but single screw in reverse, the rudder is initially not a significant contributor. The bow thruster also not much help - if it was working.

Dali sister ship: MV Cezanne:

See: https://www.marinetraffic.com/getPhoto/?photo_id=4950293&photo_size=800

MV Cezanne appears to have a single rudder. Ship, when light and high in the water - the single prop is more effective at performing the “prop walk” to port, when ship is in Reverse.

Sometimes an accident is just an accident. It doesn’t have to make sense. It just happens.

I wouldn’t even know where to begin addressing the absolute lunacy in this article. So I won’t bother trying.

here's more of Laura Logan's reporting on the lower half of the article which I found contained detail I hadn't read elsewhere. I excerpted part of her report here:

Cool you posted conjecture. Not facts but conjecture.

Lara’s been right alot more than she’s been wrong. Her sources have come through well for her before.

These ships are crewed by whatever international crew will work for the least amount of money. It is not surprising that some are incompetent or that others are saboteurs or terrorists.

Just because something can be made to fit a narrative, doesn’t mean it’s so.

Yet somehow we got along fine without that bridge up until 1977.

The second busiest strategic roadway in the nation for hazardous material is now down for 4-5 years 

 

Doesn't need to be.

 

They can build these temporarily

I lean towards the DEI and incompetence. While it would be a brilliant strategic attack scenario, so far nothing points to that having been the case.

Another conspiracy expert who solves everything with a Google search. Now she’s an expert on global shipping vessels.

I understand a cyber attack to shut down the ship, but did they remote control “drive it into the bridge?”

Sorry Professor Moriarity and Col. Sebastian Moran cannot be behind everything bad that happens. We do not live in a constant Conspiracy Theory!

It. Was. A. Warning.

Probably a China operation to tell RINOs that Biden (then Kamela in 2028, Chelsea Kringtong in 2032, etc) WILL win no matter what and they should keep their mouths shut.

Whew !

Just why did the “terrorists” 🙄 call the Maryland Department of Transportation. warning them that the ship had lost power, allowing authorities to stop traffic on the bridge ? Hmmmmmmmmm ?

Not even an Allah akbar ! Not even Death to the Imperial Running Dog Faced Pony Soldiers !

Oh, it’s a stealth terror attack, I get it.

Has ISIS acclaimed responsability yet ?

This loony tune and Steve Bannon talking shit selling tickets to the carny show !
