I know bupkus about boats, LOL. I was in the Army. I wanted safe, I dug a hole. I did not have to fear the ship sinking out from under me. neener-neener LOL. I do however, understand the "theory" of driving boats. And why big ones do not stop, turn or back up on a dime.
Kinda like driving a semi.
Conspiracy theories abound. Real or memorex? Dunno, don't care. I know these days, nothing is normal.
Are there people who would do us harm?
Yes.
Would these people stoop to industrial sabotage, electrical grids, pipelines, infrastructure, etc?
(big boats carrying goods to/from port hitting a bridge and bringing it down in the river thus blocking traffic to that port for an extended period...yeah, that fits the above, doesn't it?)
Ask yourself this, every time you see one of these stories. Or why certain politicians, other people do what they do;
Why?
Who got/gets paid?
Who benefits?
SO I found this. No idea if the guy's on the level but seems pretty straight, far as I can see. Any of y'all a ship's captain or driver, have at it.
To me, seemed to make a lot of sense in how this could have "accidentally" happened.
