A fully loaded 1300’ ship, that weighs an absolute fuckton, drifts into a concrete and steel post holding up a heavy ass bridge. Said support column is engineered for holding up the heavy bridge and is not designed to be run into by a heavy ass ship. The heavy ass ship hit the column at 1:30 in the morning, aka it was dark out. Not sure why it’s too much to comprehend to these people that the simple explanation is that someone fucked up real bad.
The ‘someone’ is likely the management company cheaping out on repairs and maintenance, since as of now it seems like the captain of the ship did everything they could to stop it from happening (dropping anchor, trying to steer but being unable to from the power outage), but there’s only so much you can do about that amount of mass in motion.
If an absolute fuckton is 100,000 tons, then yes, it indeed weighed an absolute fuckton.
Also the ship lost power, they radioed for tugs a minute and a half later, started dropping the anchor a minute after that. Radioed a mayday a minute after that. If you look at the video you can see smoke coming out of the exhaust indicating they were trying to get the engines going again. Just before hitting the pier you can see the ship started turning away, but it was to late.
Every indication is that it’s an accident. But conspiracies are going to spread because it’s what people like I guess.
