Obviously, another CIA backed hit job, they never dropped anchor.

"... they never dropped anchor."

Yeah, while riding their momentum forward at eight knots, they didn't drop anchor. What were they thinking?!?

:D

They did drop the port anchor. There is an image of the ship under the bridge wreckage with the port anchor down.

Dropping an anchor from a 95,000 ton ship going 7-10kts and expecting it to do something is a fools errand.

Anchors are usually dropped a 1/2 kt at the fastest. Most are dropped when the ship/boat loses all way.

This is absolutely 100% NOT TRUE. Geeezzz...how hard is it to look for photos of the ship stuck on the bridge debris? There are plenty that show the port anchor was dropped. Can't see the starboard anchor because of debris.

I served on a navy ship some 40 years ago as a worker bee. There is a deployment cycle for them. Salt water and humidity is rather invasive. Nobody knows what happened yet, but faulty cabling could be be an issue in a 10 year old vessel...

No, it did drop an anchor. Why do you say these things?
