Physics. That's how, lol. Like when you slam on your brakes and turn your steering wheel to the left but the car skids in the direction you were going anyway. It's also spring time, and it was a full moon, which affects the direction of the water currents in addition to the water level. You can drop your port anchor and your previous movement & the current can push you the other way.

@panzerwolf494

Ай бұрын

Because physics. That ship weighs some 165,000 tons. Dropping an anchor off the bow cause all that mass to continue to want to go forward, so it swings the rest of the ship around. Helps to realize too it's not the anchor that stops the ship, it's the thousands of feet of chain that lays out on the floor of a waterway. So where you see that ship there's a couple thousand feet of chain laid out on the river bottom and the anchor is still where they dropped it thousands of feet behind them

That's not how anchors work, they're not emergency brakes. The ship weighs a 1000 times more than the anchor so it just drags along the bottom, creating some resistance, but not much. Despite dropping the port (left) anchor, the ship still slewed to the right impacting the bridge, a result of currents and tides.

They did, said so in the piece. But anchors can only slow a boat once they bite. Boats don't have brakes, they stop by throwing their engines into reverse, which you need engine power to do, and if they'd had engines working none of this would have happened in the first place.

Apparently Biden cut funding to tug boats

Why are they referring to it as a bridge collapse when it was a collision of s container ship and the bridge support

Collapse of the bridge upon collision. Duh.

Maybe because the bridge collapsed? (A real puzzle for some people.)

Port of Baltimore gave the ship contaminated fuel which caused the power outage. It’s the Port’s fault not the shipping company. Port needs to pay damages to company and families. Our infrastructure is such trash.

​@@tanikokishimoto1604 The shipping companies have reported 30-40 instances of bad fuel causing similar engine failures like this one, out of east coast ports so it certainly should be investigated as a possibility. The NTSB is very thorough so if it was a factor I think they'll get to the bottom of it.

The secretary of energy & the secretary of transportation needs to be held accountable for the contaminated fuel.

is this supposed to be an example of your best critical ? The bridge designed in built in the 70s was struck by a super cargo ship that wasn’t even on the horizon at the time it was planned. Your question is like why the twin towers fell after being struck by aircraft.

Power outage??? Yeah, that's what I would have said too, after I woke up and it was too late to miss hitting the bridge. "Power outage...yeah, yeah, that's it!"

If you hit and kill construction workers, you can go to jail, but this ship crew killed 6 workers, and no charges are going to be filed.

Hmm... Looking at the pictures and video, I'm still trying to find the train track that was on that bridge because Biden did say he has taken the train over that bridge many times in the past but I'm just not seeing it 🤔

I don't think the construction crew had any idea there was a danger. The mayday was radioed about 90 seconds before impact. Port told dispatch, dispatch told cops to block traffic approaching bridge, but there wasn't time to get in touch with the construction crew. @@tanikokishimoto1604

Wow 😲😳

They've been talking about installing buffer barriers ("Dolphins") on those two channel side piers for a couple decades now. Everyone knew this was a matter of when, not if... PS - The fuel companies have been disposing of their refinery waste--plastics and waxes that are byproducts--by putting it in the high sulfur, "Bunker fuel" that these ships run on (think the thickest, nastiest diesel fuel there is). It's been gumming up engines and causing these loss of power events for quite some time. This time it happened in an area with little room for error, as opposed to the open sea.

Wow it's amazing that them hazardous materials didn't exploded we would have been looking at even more worse situation 💯🎯🔥

Now who is charge of the clean up? This is monumental to USA economics by the sheer size of the ship traffic.

Husband 20 years ago! HEY BABE I BOUGHT A BOAT, and I’m Starting a shipping business!!! Husband 3 days ago HEY BABE GUESS WHAT I BOUGHT A BRIDGE!! 😂🤦🏻‍♂️
