And not issue a Mayday that alerted authorities to stop traffic on the bridge.Dude if they wanted to terrorize they would wait until rush hour to slam into it, not hit it at 3am when there are like 7 cars on the entire span.
Correct, the river is not deep enough for the ship to sink in. The bow of the ship is "stuck" in the sand from being weighed down by part of the bridge that fell on it. There are barges with massive cranes headed to the harbor for salvage operations. Hopefully, when they remove the bridge from the ship, it'll level out and can then be maneuvered back to port with tugs boats.Lot of dummy dumb dumb reports early on that the boat sank and was completely submerged. I don’t even know if water is deep enough there to submerge it among other non sinking issues
So 30 or so feet deep there?Correct, the river is not deep enough for the ship to sink in. The bow of the ship is "stuck" in the sand from being weighed down by part of the bridge that fell on it.

This was not an attack. It was a freak accident caused by a total blackout. NTSB has already mentioned it a few times.Quick to call the Bridge incident an accident and not foul play before investigating the crew for any suspicious actors, can this be acceptable after finding out hazardous chemicals were spilled out into the water as well?
On top of that it happened right after the water supply threat, and Moscow attack by Isis K.
It's not like Singapore (country of origin owned Container Ship) doesn't have Isis K terrorists cells in their country plotting terrorist attacks globally.
Perfect example and proof they do:
Singapore detains teenage Isis supporter for plotting three attacks
Muhammad Irfan Danyal Mohamad Nor made plans to travel overseas to take up armed violence and aspired to establish an Islamic caliphate in Singapore.www.scmp.com
50 ft at the center of the channel.So 30 or so feet deep there?
How does this happen?
But shallower where impact occurred?50 ft at the center of the channel.
Are not black boxes designed to survive things ?
No. See below. The bottom of the ship almost touches the bottom of the river when level. It may have about 5' of clearance.But shallower where impact occurred?
The recorders are fine, nothing wrong with them. The video feed is on one recorder and it stopped automatically when the blackout occurred. The other recorder is for data and voice; it continued recording. There is no lost "timeline" as others claim.Are not black boxes designed to survive things ?
It looked to me like a ship which had lost power and the current did the rest. It looked like engine power was restored seconds before the hit. It would have taken more than five minutes of power to prevent the crash.Watched the video of the crash, and it looked intentional to me... The smoke coming out of the stack appeared as if the ship was ordered at full power prior to impact.
The ship never recovered power. The few seconds before it hit the bridge where you see the lights come back on, that was the emergency generator kicking in.It looked to me like a ship which had lost power and the current did the rest.

It didn’t appear to be intentional.
Wrong. Without power, the ship would move in the direction the currents forced it.But if you’re already aimed in the right direction, a power failure would be moot. You’d coast ahead in the same direction.
when a ship is said to lose power, they are talking about engine power, not electricity. The engine power looked to be restored just seconds before it struck the bridge. Engine power is required to restore the ability to steer the ship.The ship never recovered power. The few seconds before it hit the bridge where you see the lights come back on, that was the emergency generator kicking in.
Power has nothing to do with ship's propulsion. They could have had propulsion and still not have avoided hitting the bridge support with little or no rudder control.Let me ask those who know
The lights go out so boat is drifting and they take measures because they thought they would continue to drift? But, power comes back on and thats when rear starts sliding and front turns toward bridge? With power back on they get some speed and power goes out again but now they are drifting right toward bridge and can’t stop nor turn ?
I believe the ship gets it's electricity from the engine. It's stupid to think they run lights off of a long extension cord. When the engine dies, the electrical circuits die with it. That would explain why the generator on board is deemed a "back up generator".when a ship is said to lose power, they are talking about engine power, not electricity.

The engine power would have needed to be restored at least five minutes earlier to avoid the crash.
The ship had a total blackout. There was no power, no electricity, no steering, no rudder, no propulsion, no thrusters .... no anything! There was nothing they could do. If you go back to the beginning of the thread and read thru it, you'll find where I've given info about it.

You nailed it very well, airedale!Not sure specifically in this case, but having been to sea on major ships...
I could see and emergency generator supplying:
But I was an aviation type, not ships maintenance.
- Emergency interior lights
- Exterior ships lighting (so other ships can see it and it would be just a black whole in the night)
- Probably Fire Control monitoring systems and suppression systems
- And of course Bridge operations including communication systems

Most ships have propulsion diesels and diesel generators for electricity.I believe the ship gets it's electricity from the engine. It's stupid to think they run lights off of a long extension cord.
