Seems like they had electrical problems when they were in port a couple days before. In other words....this bridge hit shouldn’t have happened. And THEY are totally liable...not the USA.

You should alert General Michael Flynn to the fact that Alex Jones sells products to stay on the air and how despicable that is.

He actually supports Alex Jones. Please contact him and tell him how wrong he is.

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

It’s just as likely that all the Boeing faults could be the β€œblack swan” event but I place the blame on that on poor factory methods and hiring.

Or blame Baltimore government for not reinforcing the bridge posts or at least providing better barricades. The barge wasn’t even going that fast but had so much mass that it took the post out without any resistance.

Unless you wanna say that blue city collapse is a black swan fault than… yeah I’d have to agree there…

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.

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.

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.

“”””He also said the harbor master had a lot to answer for.”””


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.

A Black Swan Event is one that is so unpredictable it comes by surprise, has major impact, and is rationalized after the fact. The collision happened yesterday. It is far too early to draw sweeping conclusions. It was a major accident, it happened, there is not much known for sure beyond that.

With all due respect, I don’t believe either Mike Flynn nor Alex Jones can provide “expert testimony” regarding the Key Bridge disaster. In any known universe.

Apparently, that sensational “first black Port Commissioner” didn’t see anything wrong with ops in the harbor.
To be fair, neither did any of the others.
As soon as my attention was brought to this area, I saw at least 4 major factors which needed to be adjusted.
Where were these “Commissioners”?

Loss of power and hence a loss of steering during sea and anchor detail is a formula for disaster. A nightmare for all ship drivers.
