If YADKIN had designed that bridge it wouldn't have collapsed, angels or no angels.
Just sayin'. And all of you guys know it. |

I bet that 45-47 years ago when the bridge was built there were more competent ship captains and harbor pilots. So they didn’t need idiot guards.

failure of the imagination: didn't imagine that ships would get bigger, didn't imagine that one would go dark right as it was headed toward the bridge. |

You can't see what they hit. The island you're looking at is protecting the tower that strings comm and power across the river. You can see the lack of containment on the bridge support in this before pic.

I heard this morning the suggestion that contaminated fuel could be at fault.
We MUST do away with fossil fuels !!! Without a fossil fuel locomotive force, they could have quickly dropped the main sail and gybe. Gone full left rudder and sent the parrot to warn the workers. Arrrg. |

There's a video out there that shows the ship virtually coasting fairly straight when the lights were out. The two times the lights came back, the ship veered starboard.
My new theory is that they had moved everything to full reverse and had the rudder set in the wrong position. Power snaps back on and all full reverse will do now is turn the bow of the boat. Happened twice. Two distinct bends in the course line. I'll try and find the specific video. |

Here is the quote! "Interesting that the power poles in that waterway appear to have fairly robust islands with walls that look like they are intended to deflect a vessel' The ship, the remains of the bridge and the power tower!. were all shown together in that post. |
