Folks... it’s WW3... and we have a bunch of psychopaths, traitors and cowards running our government, because the DOJ and FBI are corrupt and full of the same. If there are any good men in high positions of praise they need to step up and clean house. That means JOE needs to go... he is compromised and elected through industrial scale fraud and everyone with a brain knows it. It means Obama needs to be arrested... today... because everyone with a brain knows he is not who he said he was and is behind the scenes running a never ending psyop... This is what you get with industrial scale voter fraud. A country betrayed... we still have a constitution for the moment... we should use it.

This.

“I somehow doubt that. Even if the ship is undamaged and seaworthy, there are some questions the Feds will want answers to.”

For sure. At the very least it seems very “convenient” that the ship experienced power failure at that precise time and location.

Somebody up thread mentioned the “48 hour rule” for sufficient facts to be determined to make rational conclusions,

Ominous

Various agencies are looking for survivors. The container ship remains at the crash site...

“ FWIW, ship tracker apps still have the Dali still sitting at the accident scene.”
***************************************************

Yep… local LIVE video shows the ship still sitting tight by the bridge. It’s not going anywhere for a bit.

That’s the Kersh Bridge hit last year by UKR.

Baltimore harbor is a major trade point so entrance and exit from the port will be at a standstill for some time.

Haven’t pinged this list in a while, but this is worth the time. Awful.

Maryland PING.

There is a webcam trained on it like a lot of bridges and other points of interest around the world. Scenic spots and points of interest frequently have them.

I used this drawbridge in Northern Michigan as my “Window” on a extra computer last summer. (I work in my basement and don’t have a window, so I found something to act as one)

So if a lowly drawbridge in Michigan has a cam, a large Bridge in Baltimore will. Video of the accident is actually to be expected these days.

The channel is blocked. Nothing of any size is going in or out of Baltimore Harbor for quite a while.

Thank you for the update.

THe ship was under the control of 2 local pilots. The ship ppers to have lost electrical power just before the collision, but why did the pilots not steer the ship center span of the bridge?

MOst high tonnage ships have at least one tug to take them out on slack tide. Now the tide is incoming, about a foot they say.

Here’s the odd part as far as TV news shows go: The bridge was hit at 1 am, it was dark, I tuned in at 5am, it was dark.

Yet at 5am several channels showed a still image of the bridge down and the ship in daylight.

[mewzilla]

I was just thinking that.

Re: 15 - it’s fake? Good grief. Practice some discernment.

Just waking up to this event. The bridge collapse appears to be as efficient as a planned demolition.
