As an Engineer I always have an issue with "this one thing caused the problem".

Most failures are cascade failures, with a root cause and then other contributing causes, as you have properly listed. They also usually require other conditions to create the final incident.

To me the root cause is lack up upgrades to the Ship as well as poor maintenance, which caused a situation where one bad wire led to the accident.

Didn't read the link, did you? It addresses your point. That doesn't make for a good engineer.

The feds are not in charge. The state of Maryland is rebuilding the bridge.

MD thinks the Feds are putting up the funding. No estimated completion date yet. I would expect some type of Federal oversight.

Design | Key Bridge Rebuild

On February 4, 2025, Maryland Governor Wes Moore unveiled the new design concept for the Francis Scott Key Bridge Rebuild.

“With the backing of federal funding, we are moving full steam ahead with the replacement of the Francis Scott Key Bridge for the good of all Marylanders, the Port of Baltimore, and the many jobs here,” said U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen. “We worked as Team Maryland to reach this major milestone, uniting to ensure our state has the resources it needs to move forward with a cost-effective and efficient reconstruction plan. And today, we mark the next key step in that comeback with the unveiling of the bridge design. As we near the one-year mark since the tragic collapse of the Key Bridge, Baltimore and Maryland are poised to rebuild stronger than ever.”

I have a pet peeve with titles that don't convey what's actually in the article. That's on the article's author, not you.

How about "Loose wire as well as lack of modernization/maintenance found to be at fault for the Baltimore Bridge Collapse"

Oh, well. You are just a lazy engineer.

No, I'm an Engineer that wants proper labels. What's the point of a label that isn't correct?

You want labels of such length and detail that it destroys the intent. That is the problem.

It also ignored a lot of the other details explained in the article, which you never read.

Still a more thorough explanation than "ITS THE WIRE"

Well, that was the initial cause, dumbass! Are you sure you are an engineer?

What kind of engineer are you?

Chemical/Wastewater, and why is your spectrum riding old ass so fixated on all this?

It's like I ran over your puppy.

You made it by attacking my OP. Suck it up amateur!

Chemical/wastewater? You run a sewage treatment plant? Wow! That's some tough work!

A completely inaccurate and ignorant comment.

Biden is the one who let the ship’s insurer off the hook. They should have been held liable for the entire cost of the replacement. Then, just maybe the insurance companies will force the cheapskate shipping companies to properly maintain and crew their vessels.

This is entirely false.

And?

The Maryland governor though, he gets things done. He told us. Now we know what corruption is. In some places it is at every level.

“we “ Don’t know anything and neither do you,

You made it up (again)
