How is it that U.S. authorities have yet to determine who was accountable for the Baltimore Bridge collapse, while it only took them 45 minutes to identify the responsible behind the terror attack at the Moscow concert Crocus Hall?

IMO #9697428 is a hit at Baltic Shipping, the Dali container ship.

Here’s the link to Baltic Shipping. Search IMO #9697428. Tell me this is just crazy coincidence. As I’ve been asking all morning, where is the statement from the Captain, master, pilot of the ship?

Perhaps a message being sent to pay up from Zelensky. I don’t think it’s this, but it’s quite the coincidence.
Captain wouldn’t have had control at that point, the River Pilot would. A huge amount of Captains are either Russian or Ukrainian.
His experience on the Dali was back in 2016

Look on the Sea Services tab, you will see his experience on the Dali is back in 2016
The USDOT slashed its funding for tugs at U.S. ports by some 40%. I wonder if that Buttigieg fellow will make an appearance . . . Maybe it’s his turn for diaper duty and he’ll be unavailable for comment.
The people responsible are the CO and the Chief Engineer (CHENG). They are responsible for the safe passage and maintenance of the vessel.
“...where is the statement from the Captain, master, pilot of the ship?”
I read that Captains are required to turn over control to a local pilot and copilot in this area because they are more practiced at driving through safely as they do it every day, all day. Apparently the ship itself malfunctioned, lights on the ship were observed blinking on and off before it hit the bridge so there may have been a power interruption.
Or, was the ship sabotaged?
ZEEPERS will quickly appear here to explain that the crash is the BRIDGE’S FAULT. (yes, it’s /sarc so lighten up)
Was there no time to drop the anchor??
In the the maritime world the pilot is the captain when the ship is entering or leaving port. It’s been that way everywhere for hundreds of years. That said, Im very suspicious how this ship lost power the way and the timing that it did.
How big was the crew?
Captain of the ship is always responsible for what the ship does, period. That’s how it was easily determined.
It has been reported that a local Baltimore pilot was in command of the ship so the Captain was an observer at the time of impact.
Yep....they are EXCELLENT maritime leaders worldwide.
He lost power, and you can see his lights go out. This ship had the same issue in a European port recently. Whoever owns this tub owes us a bridge.
There would have been a Harbor Pilot on board so unless the Harbor Pilot was a diversity hire (can’t rule that out these days) I think it had to be some type of engine or systems failure.
Accident or sabotage is the question.
