By the time that you realize that you need to do that, it's too slow to help you out.I can't believe that there is no manual anchor drop procedure...
There is on every Navy vessel I've ever been on...
In a 50 foot deep bay that would have stopped that ship cold...
Should have been dropped the first time they lost power.... in 50 ft of water it would have stopped almost immediately...By the time that you realize that you need to do that, it's too slow to help you out.
They dropped it, and dragged it for 2 minutes. It's mud and silt bottom, if it had hooked up something solid it would have snapped the chain. 100,000+ tons @ 8kts...Should have been dropped the first time they lost power.... in 50 ft of water it would have stopped almost immediately...
Are you sure about that?... last word on it I heard is they couldn't drop anchor due to the power outage but that was right after it happened...They dropped it, and dragged it for 2 minutes.

Narrative is ship drifted after power loss, power went on and off, efforts to correct course failed. Bullshit. That boat drifted toward target after power loss, power goes back on and rudders right, power off again drift, stops, then powers on when boat aimed precisely at target, rams column. No accident. Distant version on media shows none of this maneuvering. Looks like a ships navigation system cyber attack.

| 01:27:04 | Pilot orders port anchor be dropped; issues additional steering commands |
| 01:28:49 | Dragging anchor, Dali at ~7 knots (8.1 mph; 13 km/h) first collides with the bridge |
| 01:29:00 | Dali continues dragging anchor; first sounds of collision recorded by VDR |
Same footage from the shore CCTV, just cropped and sped up 8x.
Ship was in a continuous turn beginning at the first power outage.

You're dead right about that!This should be in the Conspiracy Theory forum. That's just stupid.
Anyone who actually believes a ship three football fields long and loaded with freight can stop and change directions in less than a mile or two is dealing with a short deck.

That's what I said.Nope. It is the same raw footage confirmed by WRAL.
No, not sped up 8 times. Closer to 4 times according to the flashing lights on the bridge.That's what I said.
The CCTV camera is on shore, looking across the channel, focal point is center span, wide angle lens. The clip you posted is a cropped version that cuts off the right side of the shot and zooms in on the ship.
The video clip is about 8 minutes from the ship entering the frame to the collision. That version is 55 sec, so 8x speed.
6x based on the lights going off and back on.No, not sped up 8 times. Closer to 4 times according to the flashing lights on the bridge.
Is there some reason why you're trying to twist the facts?
