That was my thought too. These guys are used to long stretches at sea on board.. Reporters really need to think things thru before standing in front of the camera
Indeed - I was also baffled why she felt the need to explain to the audience (after a SHIP hit a BRIDGE) that as well as what can be seen, there is more that can’t be seen because it is under water. No shit!
i read in the NY times from about +17.000 outdated bridges with bad protections for cases like this in the US. For the economy, this was probably a bridge in the top twenty of the outdated bridges without protection in the US. With a protected bridge the ship and the protection dolphins will have maybe some scratch right now.
We have a government that does nothing but distract us with meaningless BS so we never hold anyone accountable anymore. We spend billions on agencies full of people with high salaries that are supposed to be on top of these issues if it’s so easily done. If ships got bigger, why didn’t someone do more to fortify or barricade those supports. Could have easily been a couple hundred cars falling to their death, but we give these important jobs as charity and hold no one accountable when the fail to do them!
Likely that the still standing portion of the Key Bridge will also be demolished. The replacement bridge will probably look quite different and be much wider and taller.
If the approaches are still good utilizing them in the new design should speed up the reconstruction. But somebody's bro in law would not get the contract ...so you are probably correct
The crew is still on board because you can't just power down the ship. Television news coverage has become so vapid that I can't even watch it anymore.
In many cases these days tho ships are evacuated the second water intrusion or loss of power near shore happens. so funnily enough it is abit unusual. but on the other hand they might suddely need to fire up the main engine and move.
Most of the crew on the MV Dali are very low paid. Unless they are forcefully removed or the ship is in catastrophic danger, most would have to wait for the term of their hire contract to expire before a flight would be arranged to get them homeward.
@@melcher44I don't think you understand just how much impact weather can have on recovery efforts. I'm Australian. We know that while the weather is fine, good time to work. UNSAFE for everyone in inclement climate.
Yes, there is a lot of weight on the bow and it has grounded into the riverbed. The more weight they can remove, especially damaged containers, the easier it will be to pivot the ship and tug it out of the way.
@@skeena59"The bow has grounded into the riverbed". Have you even looked at the water line marker along the side of the ships hull? It's almost dead level with the stern. Do tell how the bow is "grounded". Geeze you must think were all stupid.
Sudden tragedies become easier to understand with hindsight. I remember the Lebanon explosion. It was easy to prevent but no one took the necessary actions. The first thing we do is apply guilt and shame, neither are particularly productive. The story of The Emperor Has No Clothes kind of applies but if this story was written today we would say The Emperor Was Caught With His Pants Down, which goes back to shaming. What does apply to this collapse is, please, everybody and anybody who sees a flaw in a design, please speak up and keep speaking up until the issue gets corrected. Eventually someone will make the decisions necessary to stop a calamity before it happens. With the emperor’s clothes story it took a kid, someone outside the decision making process to spot an error in judgement. America is full of outsiders. That’s a strength, when they speak up. I’m glad action was taken to clear the bridge to minimize how many people got hurt.
All the news outlets put headlines like this one saying "Debris begins to be removed". But, guess what, not one has a photo of a piece of the bridge being lifted off. Where is this debris removal ??? Not looking to see ever more people repeating everything we already know. Show us the salvage in progress. And, I mean much more than two guys using a cutting torch !!
This should alert the US and they should rebuild the bridge and use decent remmingwerken in front of the pillars. Remmingwerken (literally braking works) are a Dutch word for a sort of bumpers or barriers and mooring posts of wood and steel in the water on both sides of the bridge pillars. To protect bridge pillars against collisions with floating objects. The harbor of Baltimore has been proven to be vulnerable by this bridge. An enemy could easily do the same as this rudderless ship did and an important harbor will come to a standstill and an important traffic connection is ruined. We saw a similar thing in the Baltic Sea when first a Chinese and then a Russian ship pulled the seabed internet cables to shambles. Accidentally they say, but it came in handy for them and it was probably a test. See what the impact and disruption was and how long it took to repair or to detour the data. We are more vulnerable to Chinese, Russian, Iranian and North Korean sabotage than the general public knows. And the general public has to agree to budget money for these things. And that’s the weak spot in democracies. We see it with the MAGA Republicans, not agreeing to a bill for military support for Ukraine. That’s what Putin likes to see. The effect of his actions must be satisfying for him. Just one troll factory in Moscow and a bit of sleaze money and the MAGA Republican cave in. They listen to Putin without realizing they did. I must give Putin credit for it, it is smart, it works and for only a little effort.
I don't think the right word to say "Appreciation" somebody's dead body still underneath that bridge wreakage. This reporter need to choose the right words to say.
I would think that the ship owners and all of the people who will eventually receive the cargo would be extremely eager to see the ship be on its way to its destination(s). I certainly hope they fix the electrical problems before the ship finally leaves! Perhaps that can be sorted out now while the bridge wreckage is being removed?
@@user-fj7df3ng7z The ship won´t go to it´s original destination (Sri Lanka). Once it has been freed of the debris it will probably be unloaded and than sent to a shipyard for damage assessment and repairs. The damage to the bow does not apprear to be critical but needs to be repaired anyways.
It’s not good enough to react to a tragedy, which could have been much worse is a couple hundred cars were on it. We pay people who make huge salaries and benefits in government that are supposed to make sure these events don’t occur! If Traffic and shipping vessels got larger and this was so easy or inevitable, then why didn’t they build some protection around them, we spend billions and have agencies for everything to avoid this kind of thing, only difference was people were held accountable back years ago!
It will probably take a decade to get the Insurance carriers to pony up. Do you want an $80 billion port to shut down and wait? Or do you want to see them clear the channel and get the port operating again?
Without knowing the actual cause of the pwer failures on board no insurance agency is going to just hand over the money to clear the wreckage. The same if your car gets wrecked. They will want to know the reason you need to be paid.@@runner4928 Which is why the Government is stepping int to clear the channel
The ship still needs to be maintained. Despite the collision the vessel has apparently not suffered critical damage. In the ship´s bow there isn´t much machinery. The engines, bridge and crew quarters are all further back and not directly affacted. Once the debris is cleard from the bow, the vessel need to go to a port facility for unloading and than to a ship yard for repairs. Also there is an investigation ongoing on the causes of the collision.
Just so everyone realizes, the crew probably has to stay on the ship. Chances are, they don't have Visa's, so legally, they can't go on land. Also, right now, they are still on foreign soil. And to a certain degree, international treaties and laws cover them. If they step foot on US soil, they are automatically under US law. And, so much as it's pretty clear this was an accident, if you were a crew member, would you want to take the chance of getting arrested?
Of course, they will stay on the ship, which is their job and their home, why would anyone think otherwise? They are used to being there for months at a time, still getting paid, no problem.
While the crew is stranded in the harbor, it's not as if they're drifting at sea. They presumably have whatever they need to go for days and weeks sailing around the world. Unless they run short on food and water -- which could be replenished by the crews who have been inspecting the ship and commuting back to land -- they should be able to stay on board as long as it takes to get the ship unstuck. What happens AFTER that, we'll have to wait and see.
That is correct, and the next step when free, and cleared by authority, would be to be offloaded, then proceed somewhere for repairs, which the management should be organizing now. They would possibly fly the crews home or transport them to another ship in the fleet.@@BSNFabricating
sure they have. But all worked with electric and the power comes from diesel generators. Dirty fuel, a computer that not work, or maybe press some wrong buttons, etc. and you get a blackout for some minutes. On open sea it's not a problem but in small areas near a outdated bridge without protection, 5 min. blackout is enough for a disaster like this.
to me looks like the ship steerer towards the main column of the bridge where if it had gone straight even with a black out it probably would have passed through.. idk
@leoa1893 Also, they havent mentioned the $1 TRILLION Infrastructure Bill that was passed 2 yrs ago that we are paying for through the nose. The most important bridge on the east coast wasnt upgrade, repaired, protected, or replaced. Transportation Secretary, BS Buttigeig, just left it alone.
@@the0ne809 I dont watch FOX and he's right. I still not seeing it. there's a $1 Trillion Infrastructure Bill out there that was passed 2yrs ago that we are paying for but they havent mentioned that yet, not one person has Asked Buttigeig about it. I fully expect CNN to come last in discovery if at all.
When they don’t report all the news they are manipulating the news. Why don’t we have the name of the crew? The owners name of the ship? The insurance company that covered this ship? So many questions unanswered.
@@bngr_bngr Bingo! I even watched a video of a guy who work on these kind of ships for 30 years and spent a decade on the sister ship to the one that crashed into the bridge. state, paid for, news......silent
Get to the point man So far no accurate time line exists that shows when the ship exited the channel it was meant to be in to pass the bridge unharmed. Once that is known, then let's ask exactly what the man in control of steering actually did during the remaining few minutes before impact.
the ship lost power. There was no "steering" without power. They radioed a mayday, which helped the Police stop the traffic from going onto the bridge, saving lives. Each report isn't going to spell out the whole thing, go watch videos from that day and since.
He threw it into reverse before impact, a propeller that size does something called “Prop Walk.” Until it reaches speed it actually pulls the stern sideways in the direction of rotation, this causes the front to move in the opposite direction, in this case it looked like it steered into the bridge.
Disgusting, the amount of money, time, the Navies, the Air Forces, Coast Guards, of some three or more countries, the Millions of dollars and time thrown at the search for a handful of Billionaires in the OceanGate search, vs. the miniscule amount of time for some construction workers.
There was a hope to find the submarine's people alive. And they weren't billionaires. And if they had been, they were humans - one was a kid. Compassion makes us human.
In your expert experience, what exactly are they not doing that you have successfully done in the past in this situation? Do you have knowledge and resources they don't that you would like to train them on?
What an ignorant post. There’s currently nearly 400 people working around the clock, anticipating at least 3months of effort to get this disaster cleared. Just the debris draped across the ship alone is estimated at 4000 tons.
why not use excavator long reach with so steel profile cutter what demolision compagny use the can cut 1800 mm steel profiles and reach far so that wil be safe than cut by hand,is this an idea or say i stuppid thing???
Hi mark good idea but it would depend on what weight of tool long reach would carry, or chain a conventional demolition to the barge and get closer.much safer than man in cherry picker with gas torch
Mayor Pete took 15 hrs to get there. Brandon now, if he goes will take 10 days. Even a one legged man can walk faster than that. It's only 40 miles from DC. Another AWOL just like Austin. Phone was probably turned off. Its his JOB to react promptly, even an update only takes 1 hr max. Not roll over and go back over to sleep. Get on it. So why the delay?
@@lawrenceleverton7426 Mayor Pete has a job and other commitments, he got there I would imagine, as quickly as he could. There are a lot of other people who’s job it is to get Pete to where he needs to be. Logistics don’t just happen at once.
@@lifeonthefarm6001 Its his only job. A Major US Port was OOC. That doesn't happen every day. Nor once in a lifetime for that matter. As Secretary Of Transportation its his "Top Priority to keep things moving. You damn right he needed to at least address the Public and Show up in a reasonable amount of time. But 15 hours is very little if any effort put forth for anyone. If he worked for me (which he does) and pulled that chit of lollygagging, he would be FIRED. Its time we expect our Officials to promptly be held responsible to do their job or be gone. Enough of the excuses. Its was only 40 miles. I'm sure he can get a helicopter with just a quick phone call (BTW I've done it myself) its called "Commandeering Transportation for an Emergency" or even if he took a bicycle, even fix a flat or two if need be, and still get there quicker.

Cant believe ship owner pulling up old laws an asking gov for low amount owed immunity etc. Are you kidding a billion dollar corp an a mamoth cargo ship that should not have docked right beside that 30k cara a day bridge. 8k jons affected.

It seems their should be buffers Infront and rear of the bridge pillars like the Kersh bridge has .Ukraine has been trying to destroy for months Year's??
It takes a while for BS Buttigeig to think of those kind of things, he always too busy trying to think up new and improved BS and driveling word salads.
For sure not, it was made out of many many thousands of pounds of steel. Engineers estimate that the single piece laying on the ship is 3000-4000 tons.
@@donwyoming1936 lol, your pounds are 907.000 tons. A 300m ship with full load are maybe 200.000 tons. Half the ship half the load. But it was not full loaded.
People's lives are affected by the bridge collapse. But please do understand it's no faulty of Singapore being the flag bearer. The pilots and crews are all indians from india, with or without experience. There has to be some competency and complacency issues that lead to the accident. I suggest re examination of the whole fleet of indian employees. We don't need another infrastructure to collapse.
who cares if the come from India, Singapore, US or elsewhere. The ship was build in South Korea, maybe with workers from the Thailand, Mars, Jupiter, Klingon, etc. Same with the bridge, maybe workers from the US, China, Mexico, Mars, Pluto, etc. build it 40+ years ago. Last small repair of the ship was in Baltimore and checked by the Baltimore port authority. There are many possible sources of error that a crash like this happened.
Every Vessel of that size has at least one, if not two, licensed Bay pilots on board. They get on at the mouth of the bay and also when the ship is ready to exit the bay. These Experienced Captains know every shoal and issue within the Bay and The Patapsco River. They take command of the ship until the destination has been reached. You seem to have some sort of fixation with Indians.
@@johnnieangel99 Yes! I question their certifications. Do you know that in india they could obtain a pilot license without even knowing how to fly? And in exams they were allowed to cheat and bribe! Or let someone else sit their exams on their behalf! So I won't hire them to do professional jobs, especially flying passenger planes or helming a mega ship!
The event causing sorrows and hapinness to the former who suffered sorrows for a long time. And the other side who had been happy feels the sorrows The only entity that is really happy are those that brokers the events , the scopic clause , not like the old covenants of " No Cure , No pay"
The truth of crash may never come out lest Insurance/Compensation be denied for the Pilots/officals erranous actions when faced with an emergency situation,
It was an internal deliberate attack. Government sources confirmed it was a hack and 2 minutes of the black box was missing. Sources also say the staged setup completed only 50% objective, ship was supposed to sink the containers with chemicals were supposed to dump. 🤣
So they removed very large pieces of the bridge - already but nobody took a video... This story just gets stranger and stranger and I don't mean in a good way
The crewmen should have made sure all was functioning good or great on the ship. Did the crewmen think that concert would stop the ship? How long after they left the port did the crewmen noticed the ship was not functioning good? Why did the crewmen alert the works they do not have a horn on the ship to alert the people on the bridge. Hope the ship company is sued, so the families will live and survive through this hard times.
Why did the bridge not have concrete Islands at the bridge peers to protect the steel work ? Or why was a ship that size not escorted under the bridge by tug boats it was said yesterday the crew did drop anchor to try and stop this from happening as with a lot of modern ships a lot of the equipment is operated by computer, power goes down so does the computer,
should they blow in the horn with there mouth? How could a electric horn work when you have no electric power? The US Coast Guard said it had previously undergone “routine engine maintenance” in port. This was checked by the port authority. After the inspection, the ship was cleared to continue sailing by the port authority. Maybe the company who do the engine maintenance make a mistake and the inspector of the port authority don't see it? Then you can sued the engine company who do the maintenance or the port authority. Someone will pay but at the moment nobody knows who have to pay. In this case there will certainly not be just one guilty party. The various insurance companies will of course try to blame the other parties.
And how will Donald Trump make this disaster and recovery about himself ? How will he play the victim and lash out a hapless scapegoat? Stay tuned folks!
The crew was ready to go to Sri Lanka, not like they were expecting to be anywhere else but the ship…
Well they haven't tried to run so that's a good sign! Lol

Who is the ship captain

Do we need to do the research for you?

Ships have backup generators for steering
sure they have. But all worked with electric and the power comes from diesel generators. Dirty fuel, a computer that not work, or maybe press some wrong buttons, etc. and you get a blackout for some minutes. On open sea it's not a problem but in small areas near a outdated bridge without protection, 5 min. blackout is enough for a disaster like this.
to me looks like the ship steerer towards the main column of the bridge where if it had gone straight even with a black out it probably would have passed through.. idk
Wow!!! CNN is actually reporting the news.
this is funny coming from people who watch fox news lol
@leoa1893 Also, they havent mentioned the $1 TRILLION Infrastructure Bill that was passed 2 yrs ago that we are paying for through the nose. The most important bridge on the east coast wasnt upgrade, repaired, protected, or replaced. Transportation Secretary, BS Buttigeig, just left it alone.
@@the0ne809 I dont watch FOX and he's right. I still not seeing it. there's a $1 Trillion Infrastructure Bill out there that was passed 2yrs ago that we are paying for but they havent mentioned that yet, not one person has Asked Buttigeig about it. I fully expect CNN to come last in discovery if at all.
When they don’t report all the news they are manipulating the news. Why don’t we have the name of the crew? The owners name of the ship? The insurance company that covered this ship? So many questions unanswered.
@@bngr_bngr Bingo!
I even watched a video of a guy who work on these kind of ships for 30 years and spent a decade on the sister ship to the one that crashed into the bridge. state, paid for, news......silent
Get to the point man
So far no accurate time line exists that shows when the ship exited the channel it was meant to be in to pass the bridge unharmed. Once that is known, then let's ask exactly what the man in control of steering actually did during the remaining few minutes before impact.
the ship lost power. There was no "steering" without power. They radioed a mayday, which helped the Police stop the traffic from going onto the bridge, saving lives. Each report isn't going to spell out the whole thing, go watch videos from that day and since.
He threw it into reverse before impact, a propeller that size does something called “Prop Walk.”
Until it reaches speed it actually pulls the stern sideways in the direction of rotation, this causes the front to move in the opposite direction, in this case it looked like it steered into the bridge.
Why yes, an accurate timeline does exist.
@@rona4960 1 specify the time the ship left the safe channel
2 specify the collision time.
@@swisscottagecleanairaction "Name the time"? OK, let's call them Bill and Bob.
Disgusting, the amount of money, time, the Navies, the Air Forces, Coast Guards, of some three or more countries, the Millions of dollars and time thrown at the search for a handful of Billionaires in the OceanGate search, vs. the miniscule amount of time for some construction workers.
They know right where the workers are. Right now it's too risky to recover them. It wouldn't change the outcome anyway
You do know it’s not SAFE for the divers. Everyone, even the government, want to recover the bodies.
There was a hope to find the submarine's people alive. And they weren't billionaires. And if they had been, they were humans - one was a kid. Compassion makes us human.
In your expert experience, what exactly are they not doing that you have successfully done in the past in this situation? Do you have knowledge and resources they don't that you would like to train them on?
What an ignorant post. There’s currently nearly 400 people working around the clock, anticipating at least 3months of effort to get this disaster cleared. Just the debris draped across the ship alone is estimated at 4000 tons.
It will take an estimated 10 years to rebuild the bridge 😂😂
why not use excavator long reach with so steel profile cutter what demolision compagny use the can cut 1800 mm steel profiles and reach far so that wil be safe than cut by hand,is this an idea or say i stuppid thing???
Are you a recovery engineer? No you aren't.
Hi mark good idea but it would depend on what weight of tool long reach would carry, or chain a conventional demolition to the barge and get closer.much safer than man in cherry picker with gas torch
I sure don't remember this much media coverage during the East Palestine train disaster.
I have great faith in mayor Pete and Biden. Go America 🇺🇸 let’s do this self care.
Mayor Pete took 15 hrs to get there. Brandon now, if he goes will take 10 days. Even a one legged man can walk faster than that. It's only 40 miles from DC. Another AWOL just like Austin. Phone was probably turned off. Its his JOB to react promptly, even an update only takes 1 hr max. Not roll over and go back over to sleep. Get on it. So why the delay?
@@lawrenceleverton7426 Mayor Pete has a job and other commitments, he got there I would imagine, as quickly as he could. There are a lot of other people who’s job it is to get Pete to where he needs to be. Logistics don’t just happen at once.
@@lifeonthefarm6001 Its his only job. A Major US Port was OOC. That doesn't happen every day. Nor once in a lifetime for that matter. As Secretary Of Transportation its his "Top Priority to keep things moving. You damn right he needed to at least address the Public and Show up in a reasonable amount of time. But 15 hours is very little if any effort put forth for anyone. If he worked for me (which he does) and pulled that chit of lollygagging, he would be FIRED. Its time we expect our Officials to promptly be held responsible to do their job or be gone. Enough of the excuses. Its was only 40 miles. I'm sure he can get a helicopter with just a quick phone call (BTW I've done it myself) its called "Commandeering Transportation for an Emergency" or even if he took a bicycle, even fix a flat or two if need be, and still get there quicker. Have a nice day
@@lawrenceleverton7426 Let me guess , you’re a Trump supporter so naturally you’re going to find fault with anyone in the Biden administration regardless of what they do. Like I said you seem to have no idea how logistics come into play, and how nothing moves at lightning speed when it involves multiple people and multiple modes of transportation, security personnel, etc.
Forgoing investigation seems strange 🤔
Cant believe ship owner pulling up old laws an asking gov for low amount owed immunity etc. Are you kidding a billion dollar corp an a mamoth cargo ship that should not have docked right beside that 30k cara a day bridge. 8k jons affected. Slow moe... Should be 8 cranes an many cutting torchrs there now...... Though i cant do or change anything......
CANNOT STAND YOU FREDRICKA
Says the psycho on Easter Sunday......Here are two suggestions: 1) don't watch her if she bothers you so much; and 2) get a life!
Those cranes are NOT big and strong enough.Thats for sure.
Discipline helps get you through those days you’re not motivated.
the wont let off board - wont see em again
It seems their should be buffers Infront and rear of the bridge pillars like the Kersh bridge has .Ukraine has been trying to destroy for months Year's??
👏👏👏👏👏🇺🇲
Why don't they have a Navy Poseidon do a flyover and map it
It takes a while for BS Buttigeig to think of those kind of things, he always too busy trying to think up new and improved BS and driveling word salads.
What about the toxic chemical spill?
Kinda what they did to black box..over 2min missing..wonder why..
Jewish space lasers
🙏
that bridge fell like it was made from skinny little sticks ???
For sure not, it was made out of many many thousands of pounds of steel. Engineers estimate that the single piece laying on the ship is 3000-4000 tons.
9a stone weigh 95000 tonnes hit that bridge and there's no way it could survive
A ship weighing 200,000,0000 pounds, going 10mph, is going to make quite an impact.
@@donwyoming1936 lol, your pounds are 907.000 tons. A 300m ship with full load are maybe 200.000 tons. Half the ship half the load. But it was not full loaded.
AOC says they should build a tunnel for the ships and a floating bridge for traffic that way the ship won’t hit the bridge 😂
Oh wow the crew thats safe onboard and whom wasn't killed when an accident they caused happened? wow well that was exactly who I was thinking about
✌️😂
When will we be receiving aid from other countries during our time of crisis?
I hear search and rescue from other countries are loaded up and traveling to the US to help.
What do we need aid for??
I think we have this in control, we don't need outside help.
People's lives are affected by the bridge collapse. But please do understand it's no faulty of Singapore being the flag bearer. The pilots and crews are all indians from india, with or without experience. There has to be some competency and complacency issues that lead to the accident. I suggest re examination of the whole fleet of indian employees. We don't need another infrastructure to collapse.
who cares if the come from India, Singapore, US or elsewhere. The ship was build in South Korea, maybe with workers from the Thailand, Mars, Jupiter, Klingon, etc.
Same with the bridge, maybe workers from the US, China, Mexico, Mars, Pluto, etc. build it 40+ years ago.
Last small repair of the ship was in Baltimore and checked by the Baltimore port authority.
There are many possible sources of error that a crash like this happened.
Nobody gets hired without experience. Your comment only shows your ignorance and obvious bias against Indians.
Every Vessel of that size has at least one, if not two, licensed Bay pilots on board. They get on at the mouth of the bay and also when the ship is ready to exit the bay. These Experienced Captains know every shoal and issue within the Bay and The Patapsco River.
They take command of the ship until the destination has been reached.
You seem to have some sort of fixation with Indians.
@@johnnieangel99 Yes! I question their certifications. Do you know that in india they could obtain a pilot license without even knowing how to fly? And in exams they were allowed to cheat and bribe! Or let someone else sit their exams on their behalf! So I won't hire them to do professional jobs, especially flying passenger planes or helming a mega ship!
I know this is of topic but the reporter is pretty asf
But this is insane taking all that out the water
The event causing sorrows and hapinness to the former who suffered sorrows for a long time.
And the other side who had been happy feels the sorrows
The only entity that is really happy are those that brokers the events , the scopic clause , not like the old covenants of " No Cure , No pay"
Good fishing hole in the making!!!
The truth of crash may never come out lest Insurance/Compensation be denied for the Pilots/officals erranous actions when faced with an emergency situation,
Very difficult to understand what the on-site reporter is saying. Clearly she is not a native-English speaker.
It was an internal deliberate attack.
Government sources confirmed it was a hack and 2 minutes of the black box was missing. Sources also say the staged setup completed only 50% objective, ship was supposed to sink the containers with chemicals were supposed to dump. 🤣
And the moon is made of cheese
@@Macarena22279 then you must be rat 🐀
@@Macarena22279I was just listening to that old tune last night lol
How can you sink a ship in water that shallow? Everything else you said is provably false.
Not SHUR Lanka. It's Sri Lanka.
So they removed very large pieces of the bridge - already but nobody took a video... This story just gets stranger and stranger and I don't mean in a good way
They didn't say it was a large piece. 😅
Friend of yours 😏
TOFU BRIDGE? 😅😅😅
show something related to the subject!
Why are bridges falling down in blue states?
Man she look good 😍😍
I was thinking the same thing 😂
@@DreDay856 great minds think alike 😂😂
You can get better correspondent than that. She seems to struggle reporting.
The crewmen should have made sure all was functioning good or great on the ship. Did the crewmen think that concert would stop the ship? How long after they left the port did the crewmen noticed the ship was not functioning good? Why did the crewmen alert the works they do not have a horn on the ship to alert the people on the bridge. Hope the ship company is sued, so the families will live and survive through this hard times.
The insurance company will likely have to pay out more than $4B for this accident
Why did the bridge not have concrete Islands at the bridge peers to protect the steel work ? Or why was a ship that size not escorted under the bridge by tug boats it was said yesterday the crew did drop anchor to try and stop this from happening as with a lot of modern ships a lot of the equipment is operated by computer, power goes down so does the computer,
should they blow in the horn with there mouth? How could a electric horn work when you have no electric power?
The US Coast Guard said it had previously undergone “routine engine maintenance” in port. This was checked by the port authority. After the inspection, the ship was cleared to continue sailing by the port authority.
Maybe the company who do the engine maintenance make a mistake and the inspector of the port authority don't see it?
Then you can sued the engine company who do the maintenance or the port authority.
Someone will pay but at the moment nobody knows who have to pay.
In this case there will certainly not be just one guilty party. The various insurance companies will of course try to blame the other parties.
Yes, I hope the families of the deceased men are taken care of..some were in their 20s i think
China took that Bridge down, via remote control of that Cargo ship.
FJB
And how will Donald Trump make this disaster and recovery about himself ? How will he play the victim and lash out a hapless scapegoat? Stay tuned folks!
He'll probably look for some way to blame Biden and/or the Democrats. I'm surprised he hasn't done it yet.
Ummm......
