To me the sad part of all of this is I don’t trust anyone involved in this.

Here’s a actual Chief Engineer that works on marine diesel propulsion plants.

What a real chief engineer thinks happened to to Dali and why it hit the bridge

His take away quote regarding “hacking” , “You watch too many Hollywood videos, real life is not HollyWood, you are making that up” “ Hollywood has corrupted your brain”

Yet, somehow Looney Laura Loomer still spews caca.

Cover-up. We have never been told about the results of the Las Vegas shooter investigation by the FBI.

The viking shaman was seen wandering the bridge the night before the collapse.

A reporter interviewed a spokeswoman for the container company that loaded the vessel and were told that the ship had electrical problems while it was being loaded. Refrigerated containers have to be switched from their own power to ship's power when loaded aboard and that puts a load on the ships electrical system. The woman said the ship's power kept tripping off as they were loading reefers and the ship had to be supplied with power from the shore during loading.

Eye Witness Speaks of Dali Power Issues BEFORE Crash | SY News Ep315

Everything on or around the engine of one of those ships is electrically powered. The fuel pump, the water pump, the oil pump are all electric. It takes compressed air to start one and the compressors are electric. Even the engine valve train is hydraulically operated and the hydraulic pressure comes from an electric pump. Lose the generator and the engine stops.

The engines on these ships are usually connected directly to the main shaft. So to reverse directions they have to stop the engine (and the propeller), then restart it rotating backwards. Not a quick procedure.

The rudders on these ships are small relative to the size of the ship and have little effect without a propeller pushing water across them. The bow thruster has no effect at speeds above three knots (Dali was doing 8 knots), and bow thrusters take electricity to operate anyway.

This ship probably has four generators, but to me electric power still looks like an amazingly risky single point of failure and I'm surprised there aren't more accidents like this.

When the FBI investigates, you know they need an official finding for the coverup.

We still don't know who was piloting the ship.

As a corollary to Coulter's Law, if it was a white male, we'd have known already.

From experience I note that the blanket of silence of a “criminal investigation” is used to keep the spotlight off any politician who may feel embarrassed or called to task for something not criminal at all. “cannot tell you that” or “the investigators are looking into that now so no comment” or “I called in the FBI to look into it which they are doing”.

Watching a documentary on the Columbia Shuttle loss last evening. First thing the administrators as NASA did was issue a black out on any info from NASA on the matter. It is common practice to do so especially in a deep state matter.

The ship should stayed on the dock until the various electrical issues were solved.

Note Massive container ship that *lost power* near NYC’s Verrazzano Bridge days after Baltimore Key Bridge disaster.. They had 3 escort tugs but 3 more tugs were needed to bring her under control..

Blanket blackout and blue ribbon commission to spend years investigating and reporting on recommended actions to improve already excellent performance of dedicated hard working professionals.

Will they find systematic racism to blame?

Climate change , the ship’s crew is transphobic , the Bridge site is the breeding ground of the Lesser Snub Nosed Slugworm and will complicate not only the investigation , but the rebuilding efforts as well.

Yes, the world class structural engineers at the Bureau will get to the bottom of it.
