I am not saying that this was a terrorist event, but just saying...

1:28 AM in Baltimore is 1:28 PM in Beijing. People go back to work at the hacking combine after lunch.

[DannyTN]

This is what I call a good accident.

It’s better to have something like this happen when we’re at peace. As it exposes weaknesses and bottlenecks in our infrastructure.

It allows us not only to rebuild with redundancy but to look for other bottlenecks that need redundancy.

It might even be an opportunity for our military to test rapid bridge building.

I don’t think the Chinese are going to take responsibility for anything. When have they ever? The US even admits they may be further ahead in super computers than we are.

I don’t know if I’d call this a black swan event. If it were terrorism wouldn’t somebody have taken credit?

"Black swan" is a financial/economic term and has nothing to do with terrorism.

Black Swan in the Stock Market: What Is It, With Examples and History

What Is a Black Swan?

A black swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences.

Black swan events are characterized by their extreme rarity, severe impact, and the widespread insistence they were obvious in hindsight.

Key Takeaways

• A black swan is an extremely rare event with severe consequences.
• It cannot be predicted beforehand, though after the fact, many falsely claim it should have been predictable.
• Black swan events can cause catastrophic damage to an economy by negatively impacting markets and investments, but even the use of robust modeling cannot prevent a black swan event.
• Reliance on standard forecasting tools can both fail to predict and potentially increase vulnerability to black swans by propagating risk and offering false security.
• The term was popularized by the book, The Black Swan, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb.1

Understanding a Black Swan

The term was popularized by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a finance professor, writer, and former Wall Street trader. Taleb wrote about the idea of a black swan event in a 2007 book prior to the events of the 2008 financial crisis. Taleb argued that because black swan events are impossible to predict due to their extreme rarity, yet have catastrophic consequences, it is important for people to always assume a black swan event is a possibility, whatever it may be, and to try to plan accordingly.1 Some believe that diversification may offer some protection when a black swan event does occur.

Taleb later used the 2008 financial crisis and the idea of black swan events to argue that if a broken system is allowed to fail, it actually strengthens it against the catastrophe of future black swan events. He also argued that conversely, a system that is propped up and insulated from risk ultimately becomes more vulnerable to catastrophic loss in the face of rare, unpredictable events.1

Taleb describes a black swan as an event that:

1. Is so rare that even the possibility that it might occur is unknown
2. Has a catastrophic impact when it does occur
3. Is explained in hindsight as if it were actually predictable1

“Wrong for Alex Jones to sell products too?”

Alex Jones’ wildly popular suite of Infowars supplements probably won’t kill you, but extensive tests provided to BuzzFeed News have shown that they’re little more than overpriced and ineffective blends of vitamins and minerals that have been sold in stores for ages.

Oh, FFS.
This grifter will do or say anything to get his name out there and money in his pocket.

Wrong for Alex Jones to sell products too? How else can he monetize his business?

That's according to DugwayDuke. Every time I post something from Alex Jones he spams it saying Jones has hundreds of millions of dollars (because that's his gross revenue) when he is broke from all the hoax lawsuits over Sandy Hook.

He also thinks selling health supplements is a scam (Jones' supplements are the best in the business because if they weren't he would be driven ot of business) and he shouldn't sell anything. He has no problem with corporate news getting 95% of their funding from Pfizer, though.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

How many accounts do you post under, DugwayDuke?

[piytar]

Nope. It’s a mess but nowhere near a Black Swan event. There will be economic repercussions and people died. Prayers for their families. But this was not a Black Swan event. I suspect simply gross negligence by the shipping company and/or others.

Evidently you are unaware of all the undeclared wars the US feral government is currently engaged in and how all our money is going toward those wars and illegal alien invaders.

As Freud said: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar

Unless there is overwhelming proof of a pre-planned false-flag or terrorism, the easiest and most logical explanation is simply: due to mechanical or human operator error, the vessel operators lost control in a difficult part of the river and hit a bridge.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The second, possibly first, largest port in the country is closed for years and it’s just a minor blip?

Ooooo-kay.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Unless there is overwhelming proof of a pre-planned false-flag or terrorism,...

So you don't know what a Black Swan event is?

You just think you know because you know everything?

Any info yet on the name and curriculum vitae on the Baltimore Harbor Master??????

Also, info on the Coast Guard Commandant for Baltimore would be worthy investigating.

“Boeing...but I place the blame on that on poor factory methods and hiring.”

There’s a government required reporting/tracking system both companies (Spirit and Boeing) were trying hard not to use because it is so awkward and difficult and time consuming. They therefor did a work around. Had they used the required system (and I understand completely why they didn’t want to) the problem would not have occurred. Also, when they sold part of the business to Spirit, they gave them a copy of a database. Since the copy was made, both companies have made countless changes to their database and, shockingly, the two databases are now different, which also apparently caused an issue. Also, I gather the Spirit employees where third-worlders with a different view of what is important. Instead of replacing the damaged rivets at the lip of the door, they just painted over them. There has been a plethora of similar problems created by and covered up by Spirit employees because they probably grew up in a different culture with a different view of what’s important.

I think the basic problem is Boeing no longer has absolute control over what happens to their planes. The two company cultures are not compatible, and I wouldn’t want to fly on anything built by Spirit employees, which is half of most Boeing planes. This problem is not going away. This isn’t quite as bad as taking someone from a mud hut in the jungle and putting them on a production line, but you get the flavor that it’s similar.

Also, info on the Coast Guard Commandant for Baltimore /* uscg only has ONE Commandant. Admiral Linda L. Fagan assumed the duties as the 27th Commandant of the United States Coast Guard on June 1st, 2022.

[Romulus]

You don’t know much about maritime ports, I see. Baltimore? Seriously?

[piytar]

Oh it's a more than a minor blip. But it won't take years to re-open the port. Might take years to rebuild the bridge, but not to re-open the port. Won't speculate how long it will take them to clear a channel, but definitely not years.

BTW, that is the 20th largest port by tonnage. Not even close to first or second. See https://www.bts.gov/content/tonnage-top-50-us-water-ports-ranked-total-tons
