The important take away here is that
Those who can, do.
Those who can’t, hold press conferences.
Something happened to the electronics on that ship that forced the engines to go down. I believe it was some type of sabotage. If itâs going to take them 24 months to determine that we are in a deep abyss because itâs going to happen again and again, what are they hiding from us?
Maersk and the ship’s owners will be years in arguments over who between them is most responsible.
“Who asked the F@#$ing Feds to stick their nose in.”
Tuesday, November 5, 2024 whispered to Joe “Psst...buy some more voted, Joe. Do it!”
“Something happened to the electronics on that ship that forced the engines to go down. I believe it was some type of sabotage”
Based on what?? Do you know how numerous worldwide are poor maintenance oriented cargo ship mishaps??? It’s frequent enough.
This is not an airplane crash. They already have all the information they are ever going to have to determine what happened.
"Details at Eleven!"
Three months sounds like a reasonable time frame.
They need to figure out why the bridge collapsed not just what went on with the ship.
Decisions were made to not add additional pilings or other structural support to the bridge existing pilings.
The bridge was built a long time ago and i am guessing over the years updates have been made to recommended practices for bridge engineering. With the updates someone will review them and say something along the lines of we have reviewed these updates and determined that no change or remediation is needed to our bridge because we have safety feature this kind or risk exposure and the probability of an incident described that would be prevented by mitigations outlined in the general practice is low probability.
I am not an engineer i am familiar with regulatory updates and evaluation to applicability to existing facilities.
This event has potential to produce a big storm of regulatory paperwork for every bridge of that type in that service and maybe every bridge in that service regardless of type.
Maersk furnished the freight. Ship management, including technical stuff, was by Synergy, an Indian company. That’s why there was an all-Indian crew. Ownership is a Singapore company. Maersk might have the deepest pockets, yep, so they’ll be dragged in.
That is the normal amount of time to complete an NTSB accident investigation final report. They’ll release a “Preliminary Report” in several weeks.
Yep. The NTSB issued a preliminary report on the November, 2022 mid-air collision incident at the "Wings Over Texas" air show (B-17 struck by P-63) within weeks. The final report with all data and image attachments would wait until earlier this month, March 2024.
But we knew it wasnât terrorism in about 6 hoursâŚ
âShip no go. Boom CRASH â.
Next up:
CIA ‘Zoom-currents’ video blaming the whole thing on climate change-caused cross currents.

Since NTSB has about 400 people and likely some contractors with specialized skills for all the incidents s they deal with in a year. two years sounds about right for such a larger incident. I also thought they it is not just the incident but they also have to come up with mitigation and fixes for the future.
Lots of work
I did internal affairs and administrative investigations for a few years. Some quite technical and complicated. I was the only investigator and used a few “experts “ on the tech ones. My longest investigation? 21 days full time and some time on weekends including writing the report. Give me a bridge engineer and a barge expert and I’ll do it for only 1 million.
“Anything for a larger paycheck. A SHIP HIT THE DAMN PYLON HOLDING THE BRIDGE UP!”
The investigators are government bureaucrats. They will have a job until they retire.
Ship hit the column!!! Did the ship have a bad day???
No, they just hire out their jobs to companies that do, like this one.
The smell of a rat emanated from this incident from it’s first report.
There were just way too many talking heads there dispelling those unreported on instances of those of us daring to interject the possibility of dastardly deed doings as it appeared to be from the viewings of video of the ship co-alliding with the bridge.
A ship of that length acts like a huge rudder as it slips through the water in laminar flow along its hull lines. Inspite of this we see the ship turn sharply.
The camera perspective does not change appreciably but the side view angle of the ship does and the ship turns to approach straight into the bridge pier as so affected.
The application of right rudder and full ahead would cause such a turn.
Skepticism is healthy given the shenanigans this government has already foisted on us.
Let us see an investigation before Joe spends another dime.
