You see cars and trucks and cars crossing pretty frequently (and you pray that they get over) but then just before the collision the traffic is noticeably small. Very good work by some people. . 2 4
T&C Posted March 26 Posted March 26 2 hours ago, B-Man said: Maritime Journalist Shares Early Analysis of Francis Scott Key Bridge Disaster From his link: “The vessel notified the MD Department of Transportation (MDOT) that they had lost control and a collision with the bridge was possible,” ABC quoted the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s report as saying. “The vessel struck the bridge, causing a complete collapse.” She struck the southwest support column at a speed of 7.6 knots (8.7 MPH). Cameras from the Vessel Traffic Service captured footage of the collision and subsequent collapse. The ship’s lights went out twice before the collision, indicating possible issues in the engine room. Despite the quick restoration of lighting, this suggests a full blackout occurred, prompting the emergency generator to restore basic electrical services and lighting. Without propulsion or tugboats, a ship this size is nearly impossible to stop. The emergency generator does not connect to propulsion but should support steering and navigation systems but the ships heading appears to have been pushed off course by the wind directly into the support column. Ships are not required to have tugboat escorts when passing under the Francis Scott Key Bridge so they have limited ability to slow down on their own when they lose power and can not put the propeller into reverse. https://gcaptain.com/ship-lost-control-before-hitting-baltimore-bridge/ https://twitchy.com/samj/2024/03/26/maritime-journalist-shares-early-analysis-of-francis-scott-key-bridge-disaster-n2394406 You can read Konrad's full analysis here. So nearly 9mph. I know zilch about shipping and the rules/precautions/regulations but that seems fast to me until you hit the open ocean... then give her the gas. It wasn't a day trip, it was supposedly a few weeks long journey so why so fast in the harbor. 1

What did you expect when we spend billions on infrastructure for other countries (which usually hate us) and practically nothing on our own? You’ve been one of the biggest cheerleaders for spending billions on Ukraine. How can you be surprised when ours start to crumble? Ha ha. Keep on with your right wing talking points. Comical. 1 1

It wasn't a day trip, it was supposedly a few weeks long journey so why so fast in the harbor. This area of the Patapsco River is wide open with an enormous amount of room between the main supports. It’s more Chesapeake Bay than river. It was a freak occurrence that had nothing to do with speed.
