Probably why one who survived refused medical treatment. I figured either an illegal or a warrant. Or both.

Once it hit it was that far out.

BTW, their eyes against the GPS track? Please

Yes we do BUT the actual FACTS don't align with the FJB regime and therefore it will remain hidden "or under investigation

How 'bout this? Another angle

Too bad it’s wrong - like most internet conspiracy theories.

From one of many sources:

Angela Chao, the sister-in-law of Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., drowned in February when she drove her Tesla into a Texas pond. She was the CEO of her family’s shipping company, Foremost Group.

The ship that crashed into the Baltimore bridge is owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd. and managed by Synergy Marine Group. Chao has no connection to either company.

Why would you jump there instead an employer with no health?

These are not the illegals you're looking for...

Very interesting and telling video..

I did hear this morning that they have the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) from the ship. The VDR is the equivalent of the black box on an aircraft. It will have all of the GPS data, engine, rudder info as well as voice recordings from the pilothouse (and a bunch of other data). This will be very telling as to what happened and what the crew did.

A few data points, this was a single screw ship (one shaft and propeller). On Navy ships, the rudder would be offset to one side to compensate for the torque from the propeller while going in the ahead direction, however, when going astern (backwards) the propeller would cause the stern to pull to one side (in the case of the frigate I was on) to port (left).

My thoughts (based on what's in the video), the ship lost power for some reason (bad fuel, operator error, malfunction who knows), and the ship started to drift south of the channel (as shown in the video and track). They should have had an emergency generator come online within a few seconds of the loss of power and other critical gear should have been on UPS backup. The EDG (Emergency Diesel Generator) should provide power to critical equipment including steering. That may or may not have happened (again VDR data will tell). Once power was restored (when the lights came back on) they may have tried to slow the ship by backing down (basically going astern on the prop), this could have caused the stern to pull to port, turning the bow to starboard. If that is the case, they would have been better off keeping the power ahead, and using the rudder to steer clear.

Again, all supposition until they review the VDR data. What am I basing this on, 11 years in the Navy, 3 years driving a single screw ship, and 20 years design control systems for Navy ships......

buttplugger's comment for the day is that he believed the ship hit the bridge with a great amount of force.

I don’t know who the picture is.
One would be foolish IMO to fall a few hundred feet from that bridge and to the cold water and survive and not have medical attention. If for no other reason than to document the case. I don’t believe that health insurance is an issue.

Yeah. He wasn't a survivor. Was just busting his ass in the middle of the night. So his health insurance was not an issue.

There is zero equivalence factor between people who want to come here and suck a tit, and those that want to work their ass of for the dream. We need to start weeding this shit out at immigration.

Why not the George Floyd memorial bridge....if hit again it chokes off main artery

[Onebadcad]

You heard it here first!!
New bridge will be named 'elijah cummings ****ed you hard for 23 years'.
A very accurate title for a scumbag who stole without remorse.
