Voodoo Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) 9 hours ago, Jerry 976 said: They are saying there were workers on the bridge along with and unknown amount of vehicles. Wonder if the ship had some sort of mechanical failure and lost control of steering? If you have ever steered a boat, while docking it’s pretty obvious. Loss of power/thrust is catastrophic. That boat is millions of tons, there is a current as well. They knew they were boned, and advised everyone they could…saving many lives.

The boat may have been carrying Trumps financial bond too, that’s why he couldn’t come up with it. i found it insane how the media steered towards a terrorist attack..or not. They weren’t sure it was an alien attack either. Fucking joke the media has become Edited March 26 by Voodoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Danger Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 There is some talk about cargo ship fuel. Seems engine cutout is much more common on the new low sulfur fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than likely power lines on the bridge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You absolutely can drop the anchor without power. We are required to have our anchor ready for immediate deployment when manuvering for just such a reason. 2 hours ago, NaturallyAspirated said: I was wondering if the anchor deployment was a cause of the course change into the bridge support. Neal It could, yes. Backing down hard, which now seems likely, would also have a profound effect on ships yaw.

Why don't we all just answer for you. This was obviously caused by a vax side effect. It was the German who took the needle 200+ times . No question in my mind. Not even a mayday call could change my mind. Damn Germans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not greg b Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 If it was a terrorist attack or inside job they were the shittest planners ever. If it truly was they would have it at rush hour. A ship that big is not easy to get a handle on once it is moving at any kind of speed that’s why they use tugs to get it off the dock. Even if tugs were hooked to once it was under way that much mass would have drug them things into the bridge to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backing down hard, which now seems likely, would also have a profound effect on ships yaw. Sometimes it is a lot harder to drop the anchor without power. Often there is a riding pawl that locks the chain in. In that case it needs to be brought in a touch to release, or with more difficulty and dangerous, needing to be pried out. I found out I have a college classmate that is in charge of the NTSB investigation of this. It won't take long to figure out what happened. There are event recorders in the engine room as well as the bridge. The bridge likely has voice recorders also. Terrible accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are required to have the anchor ready for immediate deployment specificaly for such a case of loss of power or control of the vessel. The anchor would be made ready in all respects for freewheeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
