“and we still don’t know who was piloting that ship”
Yes they do know who was piloting the ship. The Harbor pilot and the Port pilot were both on board and the USCG has radio recordings of them in command and the multiple mayday signals they sent out that saved lives by telling the highway patrols at each end of the bridge to shut down traffic. This ship was in poor repair and had a cascade failure of it’s electrical and engineering systems. I just love Qtard tinfoil nonsense it’s a hoot that people get into that stuff. Every ship leaving a US harbor has two master pilots on board, this ship was no different and they according to the audio transcripts tried valiantly to warn people and get power back on.
They managed to get a message out to the Maryland State Police, who blocked 695 on either end of the bridge, so that it was clear of most traffic by the time it got hit.
There is a YouTube video by the Chief Engineer on a sister ship to the Dali. He walked through the redundant systems on the ship designed to ensure that there was always rudder control, both local and from the bridge. IIRC, there were about four completely independent systems, each automatically backing the other in the event one or some of the others went offline. It seemed impressively fail-safe, and yet look what happened. The failure of training, maintenance, and, ultimately bad luck, must have been colossal for the accident to happen as it did.
They know. We don't.
