Anybody that thinks this was deliberate is even dumber than the idiots that made this accident. Stop moronic conspiracy nonsense.

Not an argument.

From J.E. Dyer, retired Naval Intelligence officer:

People have asked me if the mishap with the M/V Ever Given, an ultra-large container vessel (UCLV), could have been engineered in some way. I believe the answer is yes.

...

Ever Given has a very deep draft: 15.7 meters (about 50 feet), which is more than a Nimitz-class carrier’s draft of 11.3 m, or about 35 feet. Moreover, Ever Given is obviously very heavily laden with her deck cargo. She reportedly entered the canal at over 224,000 tons. She’s not going to be scooted sideways in high winds and a low sea state, unless there is some kind of steering and/or propulsion casualty.

...

If this were to be executed as an electronic/information systems attack on global infrastructure – this is what it would look like. It wouldn’t look any different from this. We’d all go through an initial period, probably for days, of assuming it was an accident.

Could be != to is. Everything “could be” deliberate. Meanwhile, out here in reality, it wasn’t. And only fools think other wise.
