So, what do we know about the bridge, in hindsight.

[Donald H]

Who is our admiral?
I believe the on and off will be causal And they did something while power was off thinking that’s what they had to deal with but when power came back on there may have been something they did with power off that they could not undo when power came back on,

Very unlikely, due to the ship's master and the pilots' inability to do anything without electrical power on.

the boat turned to the right, lost power again and glided into the bridge

There are at least 3 or 4 explanations for why there was a course correction to starboard that made the ship's course exactly toward the structure. Yours isn't likely to be one of them.

Wind.

Tidal currents.

Propellor thrust.

Deliberate.

Coincidence.

In any case, the course over ground was precisely right.

Which calls for another: Foul play in depiction of the actual course by authorities.

I know the boat floats but just doesn’t seem like 10-12mih winds in a sheltered harbor could push that huge and weighted boat

Believe what I've told you. as little as a 5 knot wind will move the ship more than enough. Combine that with tidal current in the same direction and you'll understand why ships don't limp out of harbours with tugs trailing along. They make way in the same manner as this one was correctly doing.

FYI waves begin to break at 12 knots wind speed.

I am around the Bay 50 times a year. Big wide and deep. There is utterly no wave “breaking” in 15-18moh winds and therefore even less likely in a shallow, sheltered harbor. You don’t have a FYI to offer me

See the Beaufort Scale.

 

[WEATHER53]

See the Beaufort Scale.

I live it plus that scale applies mostly to fully open waters
Waves break on ocean beaches.
Waves in the Chesapeake Bay whitecap consistently at 25 mph sustained which is a different time length than gust or peak gust
I have never ever seen a bay wave “break” as in going from 4,5,6 feet to basically zero such as what occurs when ocean waves actually do break at the beach. Certainly would not “break” in that harbor
Are you from a Iowa?

NTSB Releases Data on DALI’s Black Box,​

Reveals No CCTV Footage Found, Sensors Cut Off and Turned Backed On, Voice Recorder Disrupted By Background Noise​

NTSB Releases Data on DALI's Black Box, Reveals No CCTV Footage Found, Sensors Cut Off and Turned Backed On, Voice Recorder Disrupted By Background Noise | The Gateway Pundit | by Anthony Scott

As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Chair Jennifer Homendy announced the voyage data recorder known as the “black box’ was recovered from the DALI cargo ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key bridge early Tuesday morning.

27 Mar 2025 ~~ By Anthony Scott

On Tuesday evening, Homendy and NTSB investigator Marcel Muise held a press conference to reveal the data on the DALI’s black box, also known as the Voyage Data Recorder (VDR).
NTSB investigator Marcel Muise revealed there were about six hours of VDR on data and included a timeline of midnight to 6 am.

​

Commentary:
The whole scenario stinks...
Who were the U.S. ship's harbor pilots supposedly guiding the cargo ship Dali into dock? Where were the tug boats?
Nothing the media says can be trusted either. The Quisling Media is full of propaganda, misinformation and spin.
This has to be in the top three questions in the NTSB investigation. Those systems are powered (allegedly) by an independent, isolated power system. It is more than curious the "sensors" (what do they sense?) cut out while the voice function, on the same power source, continued to work, though marginally.

What do you have from reputable media, doc?

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The river has a current.

 

[WEATHER53]

I was totally dismissive of anything other than accident until about now. No doubt everyone on board has been talked to yet silence. Now we are seeing that what is slowly coming out are mostly All extraordinary circumstances. I definitely agree that 1-2 would have to be extra ordinary but not a myriad of things all going uniquely wrong.
That’s why info is slow. It’s 3 days now so let’s get the details out

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

The current would have been between 7 and 11 knots, plenty fast to move the container ship along.

As all know I am no conspiracy theorist guy, but something seems off to me.

If people like me and those like Weather53 are both concerned, triple check it.

 

[braalian]

1. it was not an act of terror.
2. it was not due to DEI
3. it was not the fault of the US Fed Govt

None of which will stop certain posters here from speculating wildly with their retarded-ass conspiracy theories

 

[para bellum]

And other bridges or things on down the river? Tugboats are expensive and normally only used when additional assistance is required.

It's clear sailing into the Chesapeake after that bridge. Baltimore Harbor is a very small area to cover with tug escorts.

Also note that after the Exxon Valdez, every oil tanker in Puget Sound is required to have continuous tug escorts...

 

[Woodznutz]

More on tugboats.

Could Key Bridge crash have been avoided if ship had tugboat guides?

Chesapeake Bay pilots and tugboats help guide large container ships in and out of the harbor.

[g5000]

1. That large ships losing control and hitting things is not uncommon.
2. That the FSK's bridge was vulnerable to severe damage if hit by today's huge vessels.
3. That tugboat escorts might have prevented the collision with the bridge if deployed.
4. That none of the above seems to have been considered by the port of Baltimore.

View from the cheap seats.

I blame international Jew banker George Soros.

What seems off? Be specific.

A huge ship lost power and drifted into a bridge. Because rivers have currents. Else they would be lakes.

I'm not seeing where anyone can wedge any fantasies into that.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

16 mph current probably not

I agree, I think it is awfully high.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

16 mph current probably not

Any current is more than enough to move or turn a ship of any size.

The crew will have been told not to talk to reporters, that is standard company orders because of liability.

I don't know where Logan comes up with her conspiracy theory, but I have never seen anything to suggest that kind of remote control of large vessels is doable.

The rudder could have easily been off-center when the power was lost, that would not be unusual at all. There are constant steering adjustments when a ship is underway, even more when there is a current, and the slower you are moving, the greater the rudder inputs have to be. If the rudder is a couple degrees to starboard when the power is cut, there is stays while the ship drifts...

I haven't seen anything to make me think the cause was something other than the power failure. There was no wind, but the current and the momentum would carry the ship towards the bridge. I think it was about 4 minutes from the power failure to the impact, that's a little under 1/2 mile at 7kts.
