Cyberattacks or Likely Cyberattacks on American Infrastructure

Ain't he an expert on ramming ? - sorry, couldn't help myself.
In this case, I would go with lack of proper maintenance, most likely caused by lack of skilled technicians in the port.
It looks like the anchor was dropped (front left) - I can only assume that was a desperate last minute attempt to stop the ship...
I think the anchor drop explains why the ship does a sudden about face turn before slamming into the pylon.
The Captain probably realized he had lost control of the ship, and was heading straight at the bridge. So he dropped anchor, which then only made the situation worse and caused the ship to swing like a Yo-Yo right into a Pylon. There would have been less damage had the ship just gone through a single section of the bridge.
Total incompetence, from top to bottom, it seems, generated from malicious leaders at the top.
I read this yesterday and had forgot about it. This is truly third world living.
Physics disagrees. The supposed stationary object has non-zero velocity in some reference frame.
I looked it up. That's what allision means. I don't make the words. I just want to know what they mean when someone uses them.
Besides, what other reference frame can there be? The rest of the universe revolves around the Earth.
Prime example why I deleted twitter for Lent. Fills me too much rage. This year I don't believe I'm going back after it's over either. There's only so many things like this I can read, or the daily videos of White people getting stomped by blacks before it really takes a toll (no pun intended).
"Dali" had an Indian crew, and, allegedly, a ukrainian captain - wich isn't unusual, there are hundreds of ships with almost identical staff sailing around the world without any issues.
Nevertheless memes are writing themselves.

A good video with side-by-side of ships tracking vs. FSK bridge cameras.
Biden's response was typical slurfest, but surprisingly coherent:
Took him 12 hours after the disaster to make a statement... probably took that long just to get him out of bed.
He wants the Federal Gov to foot the entire bill for a new bridge. Afterwards the Insurance and Shipping company can be sued into oblivion. I think realistically that is the only thing that can be done. If that bridge isn't rebuilt soon then Baltimore, already a dying city, will enter cardiac arrest and lose whatever industry it has left.

You know, my first reaction to getting physically assaulted in a bolt-from-the-blue attack is to immediate take out my phone andcall the police make a TikTok for the algo.

I heard about this last night . Pretty bizarre.
Ain't really that much for the fed gov to do now: they can offer assistance to the State of Maryland (which they did - the Army Corps of Engineers deployed over 1000 personnel), and MARAD will conduct an investigation of the incident, the results of which may be used in a future litigation - if there are grounds to litigate that is. Because foreign ships making port calls in America should be inspected (port state control) by the Coast Guard - if there were issues in the machine room, why weren't they noticed? Especially when the "Dali" already had some issues reported in the past.
Anyway, rebuilding the bridge, whether on federal on the insurer's dime, will take years to come, right now the most important thing to do, is to clear the crash site and reopen port of Baltimore - sure it isn't the largest port in the US, but still, moving its traffic to other ports disrupts supply chains and costs millions of lost revenue for Baltimore, not to mention that there are several vessels stuck in port.

Again with multiple tweets being displayed together! I wanted to post the second tweet below. However, the first tweet is also very relevant. I don't know why the third tweet gets tacked on too.
I just found this tweet saying the traffic on the bridge was stopped before the collision, which I hadn't heard. In the video of the collision you can see traffic crossing, and then it seemed like there was a lull in the traffic at the time of the collapse. (This tweet is another comment from the same thread I posted from above)
The ship reported it was out of control and could possibly hit the bridge, but they must have had only a few minutes warning. It's good that they were able to react to the situation and radio police to shut down the road so quickly.
Thank God!
