How did the boat NOT see the bridge? I'm shocked this could even happen the way it did!

Usually most big ships like that I have a pilot that comes on that navigates the shallow waters around the port area. I'm wondering who it was manned by at the time

The official story is that it lost power, could not be steered.

Watch the video in post 34, you can see the smoke stack off at first, starts back up and then the lights going on and off before it hit.

I don't know - the more that comes out, the more suspicious I do get here.

So the ship had communications to alert port authority that they had no power/control and port authority was able to stop traffic - but did not bother to tell the workers on the bridge or could not notify everyone in time.

Just sounds off to me - obviously at this time of night - traffic would ordinarily be slow in that area - Baltimore is rough during the day - no one going through their at 1:30a.

BUT visibly you can see vehicles crossing moments before the crash in video - these vehicles couldn't sound a horn and alert workers lunching/napping in their trucks to get the hell off ? The presence of a police car with lights blocking the bridge wasn't a visible clue to look around and see a cargo ship coming that wouldn't clear the bridge ?

And how long between the communication from the ship until authority arrived and blocked access ?? Video shows it in under a minute - no way someone calls 911 - says there's a ship headed for a bridge - stop the traffic and it is done in under a minute. 5 would be "best case" - 8-10 most likely.

Dude they had like two minutes, were lucky a cop was nearby to block one side, and as you could hear on phone audio released they were about to call the construction foreman, there just wasn't enough time.

I love a good conspiracy but this ain't it
