What are the chances of a computer virus on the ships computers that caused the strike while making it look like an accident.
Well there was a well known
documentary that shows this exact same thing happening.
I think it's fair to question whether the obsession with DEI and the general "race to the bottom" has led to improper maintenance or corporate negligence.
That said, the first thing I would do is investigate is whether the corporate entity (Synergy Group?) that owned or operated the ship was cutting costs at the expense of basic operational safety.
Surely this couldn't be the first time this ship suddenly lost power, right?
These "unexpected" and "sudden" power failures might have been a relatively common occurrence.
It also brings up a good question for the shipping industry, what are they going to do about subpar ship maintenance? Because there are an handful of examples within the last 30 years of ships sinking, capsizing or even getting into major collisions or incidents like this due to subpar maintenance or non-approved modifications.
I think, and others have touched on it more, the whole convoluted ownership and "flag of convenience" scheme in the shipping industry has more to do with it than DEI. The whole game of shell companies, ownership "shares" and ever-changing flags that the ships operate under is so byzantine and obscured by design, it makes Hollywood accounting look like kindergarten math by comparison. Ever wonder why so many ships seem to be registered to places like Marshall Islands, a tiny set of reefs with less than 75 square miles of land? Or landlocked countries like Bolivia? Or literally-who places like Malta? It's because international maritime law allows the ships to operate under the maritime laws of whatever countries flag that they're flying. And it's not unheard of for ships to change their flag of convenience multiple times, depending on which counties laws are more favorable for the ships owners at that particular time, and whatever is most profitable for them, of course.
This is I think what pisses me off more than anything. Everyone is so retarded they can't even understand the systems that keep day to day life functioning. They hear about a ship plowing into a bridge and just assume it's some unavoidable tragedy. This was entirely preventable and is the result of deliberate action. Even if it's not directly the action of crew on the ship there is someone somewhere who is responsible. Whether it was the choice to use an engine that isn't fit for purpose, poor construction, improper maintenance, someone did not do what they were supposed to do and now people are dead and a major US bridge is gone. These disasters will keep happening until we resolve the competency crisis. But it seems like people are more willing to die than admit that there's a problem.
I would argue that it's less a "competency crisis" but more a symptom of the frustration at the corporate outsourcing of our industries to all of these 3rd world shitholes, on top of the DEI globohomo bullshit. There are plenty of people who are smart enough and capable enough to get these jobs done, and there is plenty of workforce and resources available to do it. But when the CEOs will sell off your job and destroy the livelihood of an entire town just to make the next quarterly profits look good for the shareholders, and wokescold you while doing it. I can hardly blame people for being pissed off and apathetic. It's not that we WANT to outsource a bridge project to China, it's the corporate assholes who put profits above all else who ate the problem.
the fall is approx. 200 ft (60 meters for faggots who suck dick).
This was just such a random and out there comment, that it literally made me laugh at loud. On a dreary day like today I really needed that. Thanks!
Or to put it another way, they will patch this boat up, rename it, and ship it out. ain't nobody got time or money to declare a hull loss whilst it still floats.
That happens more often than many people realize. The Exxon Valdez, the oil tanker responsible for the largest spill in history until the Deepwater Horizon explosion,
was repaired and renamed after the 1989 spill. And in fact. It was renamed 5 more times after tthat and remained in service until 2012.
Thanks for clearing that up. I will edit.
Do you have specific knowledge that this is horseshit?
Seems plausible.
The EPA mandates 10% corn-derived ethanol in our car gasoline, and I have to drive an extra fifteen miles to buy specialty ethanol-free gasoline for my generator, otherwise it gums up the carborator and completely fails.
EPA has adopted exhaust emission standards for marine diesel engines installed in a variety of marine vessels ranging in size and application from small recreational vessels to tugboats and large ocean-going vessels.
Domestic Regulations for Emissions from Marine Compression-ignition (Diesel) Engines
All the pointless EPA sperging aside, it's well known that most ships switch to "bunker fuel" as soon as they're clear of restricted waters. What is bunker fuel? It's literally the bottom of the barrel, dirtiest sludge that can be used and burned up as fuel that's left over after refining gas/diesel/oil/anything else from cruse oil. It's dirt fucking cheap, and it's really fucking nasty dirty when it burns. The smoke seen in the video is not from bunker fuel, or a mysterious "EPA fuel". It looks more like a generator re-fire after stalling out, or a full throttle pull trying to reverse direction.
They also have a fun scam where one Indian will show up to interview and then another will show up the first day, because they think people won't notice.
A coworker at my [REDACTED previous place of employment] actually had this happen at a former job of his. He said that a pajeet via a 3rd party employer interviewed for some low-level IT job and did well, but when actually hired a few months later, it ended up being a completely different pajeet who showed up. I guess it was a disaster from the get-go, because the pajeet who showed up could barely speak English, and things like Office and Excel were out of his league. Apparently because the whole "onboarding" process happened during Covid and most things were being done via Zoom or phone, it took them a while to realize it wasn't even the same guy who interviewed for the job. Apparently this is relatively common in the IT/office type employment realms.
We KNOW Biden is a corpse. Where is the Pete Buttigiege? Where is the Commander of the Coast Guard? Where is ANYONE? The retards in DC have left Maryland and Baltimore three sheets to the wind as the entire international eye of sauron descends on them.
Now these "coastal elite" peoples know how the people in East Palestine feel. Maybe Biden or someone else "important" will show up in a year's time, or whenever it's politically convenient.
too much credit
