Ship lights go out ... the lights come back on and the ship maneuvers to ram the bridge. Not an accident in my initial assessment.

If the ship had simply continued on its course after the lights first go out, then it would have missed the bridge pier. Not likely to be enough current to affect a ship of that mass that quickly if it loses power? Hard to imagine why it would turn like that without some input, intended consequence or not.

Reminds me of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in St. Pete, FL. Tragic.

Driving on any bridge at any time is an exercise in faith.

Well here we go. Maybe not a black swan but definitely a grey goose.

Mayor Pete needs to shave before he tells the public it’s Trump’s fault.

Watching a news conference.

Mayor Scott described the situation as '...an ongoing research exercise"

Where do they get these people?

How do they happen to have video of it? If it was hit by a large container ship, why was it not immediately closed to traffic until an inspection could be made?

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.

“Fox News mentioned briefly tyat Dali put to sea and is in international waters , bound for Sri Lanka.( unverified)”

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

Deep State doesn’t hire the front office appearance types for brains.

Did the Dali leave from Seagirt, anyone know?

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

But per the presser, if I understood correctly, she hasn’t been boarded by authorities yet.

You’re not going to win that argument. The same people here also claim there are no Nazis in that country.

I agree, that was reported as the story broke. I happened to be up watching the news.

As this developes, the ship is obviously stationary at or near poingt of collapse and impact.

Why did the lights go out just before the collision, did the ship lose control power?

Port video, approach, collision and collapse:

Well, I know Star Trek’s “Sulu” isn’t terribly popular on FR, but, to quote him: “An INCIDENT??!!”

Good Lord...
