Sounds like it only got one anchor down which could have jerked it right?? Could have been a computer hack by terrorists??
Accident?
Sabotage?
Terrorism?
Mayor Pete was an Affirmative Action hire, he knows absolutely nothing about transportation.
The video I watched, the narrator pointed out the deployed anchor. Have at it though, to open your show with an erroneous statement, I’m cutting him slack there, smacks of sideshow hucksterism at best and unprofessional at least.
As much as I want to chock it up as an accident, I’m having a hard time trying to figure out why the ship stayed on direct path towards the bridge pier?
It loses power and begins to drift off course which would be expected based upon the impact of the currents. However, it is still without power, but the drifting stops, and it is on a direct path toward the pier. Did it hit an area in the bay where there was no current?
Just things to ponder...
I heard a caller to a conservative radio program on the morning of the bridge collapse. He identified himself as a retired Naval officer. He said dropping the anchor would not have helped in this case because the sea floor there is just sand, no gripping power.

Beautiful pic ... but I don’t see any bumper pylons on either side of the piers. I thought they were mandatory on bridges built after the 90s ...
Interesting information. There has been so much criticism about how the ship didn’t drop anchor.
There is still a lot we don’t know about the cause of the accident, I’m sure.
While the George Floyd Memorial Bridge is a good bet for the new name, there must also be pandering to the LBQT etc crowd. 35 cents says the new name will be in honor of some transgender hero who is preferably Black.
Yeah, my link went bad, I think yahoo changed the story, any ways ,
Jeffrey Pritzker, the Executive Vice President of Brawner Builders.
He’s the guy hiring. No problemo, we have 6 more .
You mean he didn’t have everything right in the first hours.
Maybe you can tell us all exactly what happened since you have had 24 hours to go over the data. Was it an accident or terrorism taking out the most strategic bridge on the East Coast? At least he is fighting the fight, what are you doing?
“The entire bureaucracy of the DOT is crammed with incompetent useless idiots.”
My version is that the only qualification one needed to work for the O’Biden administration was to be some combination of a phag, phreak, or phanatic ... and preferably non-White.
Democrats are only interested in virtue signaling.
More than that: there is not doubt in my mind that contractors on fed and probably state jobs are incentivized or perhaps required to hire these illegals. A hunch I’m going with until proven wrong.
The need to build a new bridge is sort a full-employment event. How’s that for a conspiracy theory?
A Frontpage column said the bridge was built in 1977, so....
I wonder how many guns were lost in this one.
That is much more likely than the Russians or other terrorists causing it to crash into the bridge. And apparently, the bridge protectors were not up to the task.
Exactly. The Harbor Tunnel (I-95 then I-895) and the west part of I-695 were all that was there prior to the completion of the FSK bridge in 1977 and the Ft. McHenry Tunnel (I-95) in 1985. The region and the country survived long before that bridge existed. The Port is the far more important issue. Clear the debris and get the Port back in operation.
