Not a major port compared others true, but why was it chosen as the site of a nuclear detonation in the movie: " The Sum of All Fears"? Interestingly, Denver was the location in the novel, but that was changed for the movie. Remember, Tom Clancy's death was very suspicious
It is to Baltimore, it is to those 40 + ships that are stuck in Port. Plenty of loss not to mention 11.5 million vehicles a year having to reroute on already packed roadways and tunnels.
Number 1 auto import port.
Number one farm machinery export port
Significant raw agricultural export port.
If Autos sent to other ports rail transport of autos increases.
If agricultural crop export impeded who suffers?
Who benefits from an increase in rail transport?
Who do they donate to?
"If they wanted to terrorize the US, they would have picked a different bridge, at a busier time.
The bridge going down also does not inhibit US Military capabilities or threaten our production in any significant way. It will be a substantial inconvenience for the port of Baltimore, but it doesn’t really move the needle from a global transportation or economic perspective.
If more bridges start to go down due to “accidents”, then we can start worrying, but this, as of now, appears to be a freak accident. Yes I saw the video of the lights going off, and those claiming the ship was hacked, but I don’t see the motive and I cannot identify who would stand to benefit from the situation.
If terror cells in the US are capable of hacking ships and destroying bridges, one would think they would have chosen a bigger and better target, with significant civilian presence.
Obviously, if more information that comes out shows differently I will correct, but I don’t see how this event is some grande conspiracy. Certainly something to keep an eye on, but I wouldn’t start worrying unless we start to see similar events with regularity."
This was to not only send a message but also to distract. This comes right after P. Diddy's house gets raided (Epstein of Music Industry) and the Russians announcing that the terrorists were paid by an unknown benefactor (meaning it wasn't a Holy Jihad but a hired hit).
This was most likely a panic induced distraction. The bridge might have been selected because it's:
Easy to destroy.
The ship was one of the few DS assets available for an on-demand hit on short notice.
Sure the DS loves their symbolism, but symbolic attacks take time to plan and when push comes to shove and they need a quick fix they'll attack out of desperation.
So I'm more inclined to believe this is a panic induced distraction by the DS to flood the news outlets with content.
'They' picked the Key Bridge because of its association with the National Anthem.
THE ATTACK IS SYMBOLIC and a warning sign of what AI in the hands of black hats is capable of. Think of the chilling affect Michael Hastings murder had on reporters. Think of AI chips taking 100 passenger jets out of the sky, simultaneously.
Could simply be because Baltimore is an Eastern Seaboard port close to DC. Just a demo of what is possible. Nobody would bat an eye if this was some middle America bridge on the Mississippi.
If terror cells in the US are capable of hacking ships and destroying bridges, one would think they would have chosen a bigger and better target, with significant civilian presence.
That’s postulating it’s a conventional terror cell. A Foreign Military Sabotage group or some other conventional foreign military aligned group. Perfectly feasible they’d seek to minimize collateral damage. Hence doing it at 1:30 am. Instead of Rush Hour when the bridge would be packed with people.
People tend to forget. There are a lot of countries out there that do not like the U.S. They don’t like the Government nor are they fond of the people. Including many of our erstwhile “Allies”.
They’ll seek to gain an advantage over us. The game of geopolitics doesn’t stop because the players have changed
I’m sorry, but I think clandestine is an idiot. 🤷♀️
It’s definitely gonna affect the families and the people that live in that area. It’ll be yours before a bridges built there. How are people going to get back-and-forth. There’s a bridge there for a reason.
And that is your right, However, It will affect people but Not on a scale that we would expect from a 9/11, 7 Oct 'Attack', It Could have been a MAJOR Disaster especially if it happened at Peak time...Just remember that...
Ties up a Deep Water Port for a month minimum. That’ll cause economic problems any way you slice it.
Deep Water Ports don’t grow on trees. There’s only so many capable of handling Large Freighters and by extension Navy ships. Delays in freight shipments even if it’s just a week or two while they go to other East Coast Ports. Will have knock on cascading Economic effects.
Not to mention a Deepwater Port being closed is one less place for Navy/Military Ships to potentially be based out of/refuel
The ship turned because of its power failure. The slowing of the propeller acted as a rudder. An anchor was dropped perhaps to stop or slow the vessel. The black smoke was most likely the motor running at top speed to turn the propeller in reverse as the anchor was dropped. It seems the crew was trying to minimalize a bad situation. They had few options because once the ship's propeller slowed and the flow of water through it started to aim the ship at the bridge there wasn't much that could stop it or shange its corse.
If foul play is involved it would be in knowing the probable outcome of killing the power at that precise time to get the ship aimed at the bridge. Any credible bad guy organization should be able to pull this off. If a hit the timing suggests it was about flexing ability and willingness to strike rather than terror.
Last I read, they rescued two, one declined treatment and the other is in serious condition. Six still unaccounted for. Sonar spotted three passenger vehicles, one work truck, and another vehicle at the bottom of the Patapsco.
Before anyone can conclude logically this is an accident and not an attack / black swan, we should probably check into whether anything relating to the market might be a secondary effect from the bridge collapse or the closing of the portto shipping.
Do we have any potential "Merchant of Venice" type situations or agreements tied into market that could be triggered by an interruption in shipping and commerce at that port?
Is the timing of any of those tie ins such that this event might trigger default and might the chain reaction of a market crash over the coming weeks?
I personally don't know one way or another, but the interconnectedness of our economy with shipping and commerce could easily have some systemic weaknesses aligned with specific times and commerce deliveries which may not be readily apparent at first look.
"lost propulsion", comma, "somehow hits a bridge support at near-full speed", comma, "lights off", comma, "lights on just before a big turn into said columns", comma, did they ever drop an anchor, or hail a tug boat, or twenty, or steer to miss the big-honkin' columns?
In one fell swoop, no more cargo in or out, US Navy Rapid deployment ships are bottled up ,and the Coast Guard yard is out of commission. That is a whole lot of consequences.
👌🙏🏻
Skipper was Ukrainian?
Closes a major port? Symbolism. Almost exact spot Key watched the flag flew through the night?

I haven't followed Tom Clancy. What made their death suspicious?
In a jack Ryan (post Clancy) novel they rig an ship explosion in Baltimore.
It is to Baltimore, it is to those 40 + ships that are stuck in Port. Plenty of loss not to mention 11.5 million vehicles a year having to reroute on already packed roadways and tunnels.

We 'll see how major it is.

That's his reasoning? lol

His opinion is a failure of imagination.

True, but that in no way overrides the symbolic nature of the incident and the name of the bridge.
Tying up a harbor until the wreckage is cleared is reason enough.. No strategy needed-the resulting inconvience is good enough.

Whatever. If it was a bridge near your home in your country- you might feel differently 🤷♀️

Remains to be seen.
Yes it will. Me and my family along with many others lives will be seriously impacted.
Distraction, just like all other black swan events

Or it's just poor maintenence by a die hire?
Trapping the rats in DC. Not totally, but effectively.
Whether this is just an unfortunate accident or a deep state black swan event remains to be seen but it does check several of the boxes:
How many lives were lost in this? Cars in the water?

Reroute shipping cargo to Virginia port. A national security nightmare.
He had plenty of room to get under the bridge; why go so close to the support column?

Billions in lost revenue from a closed port for one so economy damage for sure. That one isn't even hard to figure out.
Close down the largest auto import port and make auto manufacture in Mexico more appealing.
Who is owned by China who just built Mexican Auto plants?
