“drifted into a bridge support.”
DRIFTED INTO?
Have you not seen the 8x speed video?
The ship made an almost impossible turn right into the bridge support.
NO ACCIDENT!
Just turn all the lights off and on a few times and claim a power failure.
When a ship loses its ability to steer, what direction does it go? The exact same direction it WAS going! It doesn’t make a hard (almost impossible) 90 degree turn.
The 9/11 planes. Did they hit their targets just any old where? Strategic, yes.
Which bridge support and where exactly? Oh, just where the ENTIRE BRIDGE would collapse.
C’mon man, wake up.
It didn’t make a 90 degree turn.
HOLY SMOKE!!! You think those are good arguments? Just plain loony....
When a ship loses its steering, which way it goes depends on the position of the rudder. Even were the rudder perfectly midship, the stern would tend to set in one direction due the pitch on the lower blades of the propeller.
I studied the plot that is online and at no point does the ship’s course alter by more than about 15 degrees.
