As a few here know I once owned cargo ships hence my Haiti experiences etc

A ship in harbor inside the bar or outer buoy to the harbor would have been under pilot navigation

An association of local ships pilots often nepotism which are required to guide ships inside harbor

Which makes this even more curious

I agree.
the ship turned into the column.
On its prior course it looks that it could have passed under.
no idea if steering or power was working, but i’d sure be interested to know how much of that crew was moslem!

Very much so. I watched the video and there is no definitive angle showing if or when the anchor was dropped, it is currently deployed however.

I hope I don't get a demerit from karen for speaking in a public forum.

Anybody know — Was the ship going out with the tide / current?

The angle of the anchor line / cable would indicate the anchor was dropped before the ship hit the pier. How long B4, no one has reported.

Found a live shot that zoomed in, you are correct, slight angle towards aft. By the look of the damage to the deck and bow I do not think anyone would be able to traverse that wreckage to release the anchor after impact.

Bidum on talking about it now.
Will be interesting to watch the comparison between GWB’s response to the I-35 collapse in Minneapolis, and this one.
I-35 was rebuilt under budget, and 10 months ahead of schedule.
Bush expedited all permits, waived most environmental, and bypassed all labor related issues, to get the job done. It was an amazing thing to watch.

Agreed. Best view I’ve found is here (just now found it). Time stamp 1:30.

I see you have a history of defending liberal “laws” whether enforced or not. Opus?

Well, well... with auto traffic halted over a major interstate, marine traffic halted to/from a major port, Baltimore are got a little 'smarter'.

Thanks regarding the digital lightening of the still photo. It looked like dawn to me, but then a half hour later saw a live newscast and it was still dark.

My post had nothing to do with “liberal laws” or any laws.

It did insofar as the stance of your post, i.e. revealing your biases. Opus?
