Francis Keys bridge hit by ship. Bridge collapses, mass casualty event.

It’s unlikely that the crew would be fluent in English, but the officers would.

So how would the ships officers communicate with the crew?

 

[tahuyaman]

The captain wasn't in command or control of the ship at the time of the accident. The harbor pilot was.

The pilot wasn’t in control either. The ship was disabled and dead in the water.

So ships lose their weight and 100000 tons gets moved around by 8moh currents. Notice also that boat changed movement and then was steadfast until impact

You obviously do not understand how currents affect ships of any size.

Currents will turn even the biggest ships in several directions.

Turns out that on inspection, the propulsion system was flagged.

That ship should have never been allowed to enter the port in the first place!

Who's job is it to prevent this kind of shipwreck?

Currents will turn even the biggest ships in several directions.

Depends on weight, speed, direction and other which would determine a drastic change in bow to stern movement of a powerless drifting vessel. Yes current is a factor yet all depending in that situation.

BTW, the ship's pilot was a Ukrainian fellow.

Under the current geopolitical circumstances, terrorism cannot be ruled out.

No, the pilot was not from Ukraine. That has been discussed a few times in this thread already.

The article you linked to says nothing about the pilot's nationality. They do go out of their way to refer to him as a "Maryland pilot" numerous times, which is curious. I did see an AP article that says both pilots are US citizens, and the captain and crew are Indian.

MD Pilots are the best of the best. Someone can't just up and decide one day they want to be one. It takes more than 10 years of training and education to meet the requirements to apply for the Pilot's program (which is another 5 years of training and education).

The Association of Maryland Pilots

www.mdpilots.com

PORT: A Transportation System

• Pilots must serve a five-year apprenticeship before they become fully licensed. This is in addition to other training and education they must complete, including earning a bachelor’s degree from the U. S. Merchant Marine Academy or the other state maritime academies and experience on ships in other positions. Only a few of the hundreds of applicants for these apprenticeships are selected to participate in this five-year program.
