Authorities are investigating the events that led up to the ships crash into the bridge, causing the collapse.
...
The FBI has opened up a criminal investigation into the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland after a boat crashed into it last month.
...
The boat reportedly lost power briefly before veering one of the bridge's support, sending the bridge cascading into the water below. Six lives were lost.
On Monday, federal agents boarded the crashed boat to conduct a search. Agents wore yellow and orange life jackets as they boarded the Dali, standing where it had been since the crash. The FBI confirmed that it had agents on the ship conducting the investigation.
“The FBI is present aboard the cargo ship Dali conducting court authorized law enforcement activity,”
...
The Dali is owned by Grace Ocean Pte Ltd. and is under the management of the Singaporean company Synergy Marine Group. Maersk was in charge of chartering the ship at the time of the incident.
Leading up to the event, Maersk halted all shipments in the Red Sea channel in December 2023. The cargo ship was headed to Sri Lanka from Baltimore.
FIB will find the Racist, White Supremacist Bridge as guilty of trying to sink a container ship.
Overstretched. If only we had an honest intelligence community.
Why take responsibility away from the NTSB?
A non-event event.
Today is the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing.
For terrorists that was definitely a hard target.
But the night of that terrorist attack was a spectacular fire at an anhydrous facility in Texas.
There was at least one account of suspicious activity at the facility preceding the fire.
Unsurprisingly nothing ever came of that to my knowledge.
That would be viewed as a soft target by terrorists.
I think taking out the Baltimore bridge with a container ship would also be considered a soft target.
My point.
NEVER trust the gubmint, no matter who is POTUS.
Never forget the traitor Billy Barr sat on Hunter’s laptop which in effect became the foundation of a coup.
1.) Yes
2.) No
And what is this to distract us from??? Maybe Biden’s approval in advance of the Iran attack on Israel.
Raiders of the Lost Ark quote?
Yep. And it still took over a kilometer to stop it.
INERTIA
Baltimore should have required 3 + escort tugs until the ship was past the bridge
