This is an excellent summary/explanation of what happened. It synchronized shipping tracking with side-by-side video of the bridge allision (there’s that new word we learned today from our fellow FReeper). It also shows a map of all the ship traffic waiting to leave on enter the port.

Very informative, thanks for posting this.

Now if only the FReepert Marine Traffic Experts take the time to watch it instead of putting way on their pieholes...

Thanks for the post. Saw this elsewhere:

“Emergency responders were searching for at least seven people believed to be in the water, Cartwright said, though he said it’s too early to know how many people were affected. He called the collapse a “developing mass casualty event.”

Someone should check the bank accounts of the Vindman brothers over the last 48 hours.

I noticed a truck moving right to left about 1 min. before bridge collapsed. Looked like it made it off the bridge before it collapsed.

Ship was being piloted by locals, not the Captain. The big question is, why did the ship lose power?

Right, saw that! That trucker is hopefully counting blessings right now. No headlights visible when the bridge goes down, maybe the lost vehicles are out of frame to the right. Horrible, imagine that happening at rush hour(s)!

It lost power from a cyber attack. Crew said they “lost control” in their message.

Muslims in the engineering crew?

Yes, regarding the second sentence, we watched that happen. What is the source of the first sentence?

Check out Hal Turners Radio Show website he is showing one crew was a Ukranian. “UH OH . . . . According to BalticShipping.com, this vessel had two Masters. One an Oiler/motorman, the other:”

I’ve made that same guess as well, things that don’t make sense usually have an easy answer.

Think about the last month or so, AT&T lost cell service for nearly a day, Facebook and Instagram went offline for a few hours, United Airlines can’t keep planes flying, and now today’s events.

The Government has warned of a major cyber-attack.

I think all these things are shots across our bow, they could all be coincidences, but nothing can be taken for granted at this point.

“Ship was Captained by a Ukrainian”

What is the evidence for that?
