“… Others believe this was a deliberate attack of US infrastructure based on various factors that do not seem to add up. Could it have been an inside job or a foreign agent? The truth will come to light, as it always does.
Let me begin by explaining how crucial the Francis Scott Key Bridge was to America’s supply chain. Around 52.3 million tons of international cargo estimated to be worth $80.8 billion passed through the port in 2023. Around 4,900 trucks, carrying around $28 billion in goods, must be rerouted due to the bridge collapse.
It is the second busiest strategic roadway in the US for hazardous materials. These hazardous materials include diesel fuels. Did you know that diesel fuel is not permitted to be transported via tunnel? Fuel prices will rise, fertilizer prices will rise. The bridge was built to handle hazardous materials like propane, nitrogen, highly-flammable materials, large cargo materials, and more.
The timing could not have been worse for American agriculture.…”
No worries. It will be replaced by the P Diddy Bridge soon.

He’s kidding, right?
A major exaggeration. The same trucks can go around Baltimore to the west on the beltway, and the port will reopen in May. Economic fear porn seems to be popular, but that doesn’t make it true.
No, the truth does not always come to light. Far too often, the government/MSM buries it deep and throws around accusations of *conspiracy theory* to anyone who exposes that truth.
Who was driving the ship?
Who was the mechanic that thought this ship was ready for the open ocean.
Nobody knows their names
> Who was driving the ship? <
I know a guy who is quite knowledgeable about the port of Baltimore. He told me that a professional ship’s pilot always comes on board a large vessel as it nears the port. These pilots are very respected.
The pilot takes over, and guides the ship to its berth. So it would be interesting to know who the pilot was. Or maybe for some inexcusable reason there was no pilot.
Video of the last few seconds shows two short power-outages. Looking into navigational capabilities and redundancy of engines, power, anchor, rudder.. and that the last few seconds a significant right turn, with opposite ship anchor...
The steering of the ship at the last second, "mayday" call, was timed with explosive charges along the highway length, such that the entire thing falls.
This is psyop. FF. Nicely done, with stopping traffic at the last moment from both directions.
Accident. Poor training of the crew. Poor maintenance.
True. I can’t begin to count the major detours in and around major cities (and DOT scales, lol!) I had to make while trucking. Transportation will adapt. Quickly.
They will likely have the shipping channel open sooner than we are told in order to make the poster boy of ‘Didn’t Earn It’ transportation sec look like a genious.
Death by 1,000 cuts.
**********************************************************
I read some where in the MSM that there were two pilots on board. It appeared that this was not in question. The lack of discussion suggests that these may have been DEI pilots and they may be covering this up.
genious = genius
Maybe it was just an accident, but we have been lied to so many times by government mouthpieces who could blame anyone for suspecting something more sinister?
Just like it did in the JFK/RFK/MLK assassinations.
Just like it did with the Branch Davidians.
Just like it did with Oklahoma City.
Just like it did with TWA Flight 800.
Just like it did with 911...
$80.8 Billion? That’s a morning’s printing by the Fed. They would not even break a sweat.
To get informed opinion you can try Sal Mercogliano and John Konrad’s youtube channels. What Is Going On With Shipping and gCaptain.
Those two are in the maritime business. They have actual expertise. You don’t get the silly guessing that has no roots in what’s physically possible.
If FR issued fear porn merit badges some freepers would have as many ribbons as a banana republic general.

The country is in a slow motion black swan event.
