No Indication of Terrorism in Baltimore Bridge Collapse, Says FBI

Breitbart ^ | 03/26/2024 | SIMON KENT

[ChicagoConservative27]

There is no “credible indication” of terrorism involved in the demise of the Francis Scott Key Bridge after it snapped at around 01:30 local time Tuesday following a container ship crashing into it.

The landmark structure in the U.S. city of Baltimore collapsed into the Patapsco River in the aftermath, however Maryland Governor Wes Moor has made clear “the preliminary investigation points to an accident. We haven’t seen any credible evidence of a terrorist attack.”

Special agent Bill DelBagno of the FBI’s Baltimore field office agreed, saying, “the FBI on very first looking at and assessing this matter form an investigative standpoint, I want to be clear there is no specific or credible information to suggest there are ties to terrorism in this incident.”

I’m surprised they didn’t say Trump did it.

From Lara Logan on x:

Multiple intel sources: Baltimore bridge collapse was an “absolutely brilliant strategic attack” on US critical infrastructure - most likely cyber - & our intel agencies know it. In information warfare terms, they just divided the US along the Mason Dixon line exactly like the Civil War.

Second busiest strategic roadway in the nation for hazardous material now down for 4-5 years - which is how long they say it will take to recover. Bridge was built specifically to move hazardous material - fuel, diesel, propane gas, nitrogen, highly flammable materials, chemicals and oversized cargo that cannot fit in the tunnels - that supply chain now crippled.

Make no mistake: this was an extraordinary attack in terms of planning, timing & execution.

The two critical components on that bridge are the two load-bearing pylons on each end, closest to the shore. They are bigger, thicker and deeper than anything else. These are the anchor points and they knew that hitting either one one of them would be a fatal wound to the integrity of the bridge.

Half a mile of bridge went in the river - likely you will have to build a new one. Also caused so much damage to the structural integrity of the bottom concrete part that you cannot see & won’t know until they take the wreckage apart. Structural destruction likely absolute.

Attack perfectly targeted.

“They have figured out how to bring us down. As long as you stay away from the teeth of the US military, you can pick the US apart. We are arrogant and ignorant - lethal combination. Obama said they would fundamentally change America and they did. We are in a free-fall ride on a roller coaster right now - no brakes - just picking up speed.”

The footage shows the cargo ship never got in the approach lane in the channel. You have to be in the channel before you get into that turn. Location was precise/deliberate: chose a bend in the river where you have to slow down and commit yourself - once you are committed in that area there is not enough room to maneuver.

Should have had a harbor pilot to pilot the boat. You are not supposed to traverse any obstacles without the harbor pilot.

They chose a full moon so they would have maximum tidal shift - rise and fall. Brisk flow in that river on a normal day & have had a lot of rain recently so water was already moving along at a good pace.

Hit it with enough kinetic energy to knock the load-bearing pylon out from under the highway - which fatally weakens the span and then 50 percent of the bridge fell into the water.

All these factors when you look at it - this is how you teach people how to do this type of attack and there are so few people left in the system who know this. We have a Junior varsity team on the field.

Tremendous navigational obstruction. Huge logistical nightmare to clean this up. Number of dead is tragic but not the whole measure of the attack.

That kind-of bridge constantly under repair - always at night because there is so much traffic and they cannot obstruct that during the day. So concern is for repair guys who were on foot (out of their vehicles) working who may now be in the water - 48 degrees at most at this time of year.

When you choke off Baltimore you have cut the main north-south hazardous corridor (I95) in half. Now has to go around the city - or go somewhere else.

To move some of that cargo through the tunnel you may be able to get a permit but those are slow to get and require an escort system that is expensive and has to be done at night.

For every $100 dollars that goes into the city, $12 comes from shipping. Believe this will cripple the city of Baltimore at a time when they do not have the resources to recover.

Looking at some numeric synchronies, it might be said this event has the appearance of a Masonic ritual.

Francis Scott Key (August 1, 1779 – January 11, 1843) was "an American lawyer, author, and amateur poet," as well as a Freemason.

Key wrote the poem - "Defence of Fort M'Henry" - which became the Star Spangled Banner. Fort McHenry was named after James McHenry (November 16, 1753 – May 3, 1816), "a Scotch-Irish American military surgeon, statesman, and a Founding Father of the United States;" also a Freemason.

Wikipedia states,

On March 26, 2024, at 01:28 EDT (05:28 UTC), the main spans of the bridge collapsed after the Singapore-registered container ship Dali lost power and collided with one of the support pillars.

01:28 - is the 88th minute of the day (60 + 28 = 88); 128 and 88:

It's exactly 34 weeks from the August 1 2023 birthday anniversary of Francis Scott Key (34 matching Maryland in the Reduction cipher):

Opened in 1977 the bridge just turned 47 years old on March 23, (47 matching the Reverse Reduction value of Maryland).

The bridge was opened on March 23, 1977, named for amateur poet Francis Scott Key (1779–1843), the author of the American national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner."

The number 47 is hugely significant in Freemasonry.

The 47th Problem of Euclid is indeed enigmatic; while it is ostensibly a proof of a key principle of Geometry, its esoteric characteristics, not its mathematical properties are the source of its Masonic significance. Unraveling the complex riddle of the 47th Problem and understanding why it is regarded as a central tenet of Freemasonry properly begins with study of its history and its mathematical application.

FBI: After our 5 minute investigation “No Indication of Terrorism in Baltimore Bridge Collapse”

[Bull Snipe]

increased power could have also been to answer an “all back full” bell, which would have made steering to avoid the bridge more difficult.

[MayflowerMadam]

What I heard on Bongino and other conservative media:

The vessel lost electrical power so lost control of steering. Pilot sent “may day” to TPTB to close bridge, which they did. But not before some vehicles had already entered.

If true, then the pilot is a hero and actually was responsible for saving lives.

[Dead Corpse]

Not really... in this day an age, it’s pretty sure to be the first thing on a majority of peoples minds.

If there was no “chatter”... Probably no “there” there.

Malice or stupidity. Leaning towards stupidity from what little I’ve seen so...

[Dead Corpse]

Gotta have power to run all the fancy things... Ship looked like it was angling to go under the bridge... but the power out drifted it right into it...

To be fair... it ALMOST missed... But with something the size of a ship like this, it was enough.

[cherry]

if the fibbers say there’s no terrorism then sure as heck it was terrorism....

[MayflowerMadam]

Now I’m listening to War Room, and it’s starting to sound a lot like terrorism.

[Darksheare]

Considering that the vessel is supposed to be under the control of the harbor pilot until it leaves the harbor, none of the typical “hey we’re in trouble” action was taken, I would say they screwed up big time.
And if they are a diversity hire we will never hear anything about it.

[Darksheare]

Current rumor I’m seeing is now twofold.
Dali was previously cited for propulsion issues.
Harbor pilot is a diversity hire named Beth.
Probably best to sit on that and wait for absolute confirmation first but still.

Oh yeah, port of Baltimore is wooooooke.

[LachlanMinnesota]

It would be hard to schedule the departure time for the ship to coincide with Rush hour, and they may have thought closing the port for so long was good enough. We recover from human loss by forgetting, but we cannot so quickly recover from a destroyed port access.

I don’t know what to think, except there are too many episodes of destruction in the food chain for chickens, beef, processing plants and fuel. They seem out of proportion to the past history, and occur at a time when there is excessive inflation already contributing to our poor economy.

I don’t trust anyone who so early forms an opinion when the evidence cannot possibly be gathered for months.

The only ones who know are the ones who caused it.
