Yes,
Massive Cargo Ship Bangs into it on the left hand side of the video of Ammi's tweet. SkyNewsHD found out the bridge was being worked on. So many lanes were closed. Around 7 workers in the water. Last edited by arista; 26-03-2024 at 07:15 AM. |

Quite incredible footage. I wouldn't think even a ship that size colliding into it would be enough to make the bridge completely buckle like that

…really fortunate if it was that the bridge was quiet with vehicle traffic at the time…I don’t know if that’s the case but hopefully it wasn’t at a more busy time of the day….

…Arista, you are so precise about accuracy and truth and yet you randomly post such a thing that you have no idea about…it may have been the same ship involved in that minor incident but it was 8 years ago and we have no idea as to any of the crew at that time or their roles etc…

Maryland governor declares state of emergency

In a statement published by his press secretary, Mr Moore said: "We are working with an interagency team to quickly deploy federal resources from the Biden administration. "We are thankful for the brave men and women who are carrying out efforts to rescue those involved and pray for everyone’s safety.

Machinery error 'most likely' cause of crash, says expert
A maritime safety expert says the "most likely" cause of the crash was a failure in the ship's machinery. David McFarlane, director of Maritime Risk and Safety Consultants Ltd, told Sky News: "The first thing that springs to my mind is: was there a sudden fault with the ship's engines or the steering gear? The other, of course, is: was there a navigational error?" Mr McFarlane said a human error was less likely because of the number of people who would have been on duty. "There should be no room for one-person errors because one of the other people should jump in and say 'hang on...'," he said. "The most likely cause of this is a failure in machinery or steering gear, but we just won't know until the authorities have been on board. And even then, they're unlikely to say what's been going on for some considerable time." |

It does maybe suggest that more safety testing should have been done after the prior incident... |

Of Course but it is looking worse for that crew. These Massive Cargo Ships need the best crew to take more care Last edited by arista; 26-03-2024 at 09:18 AM. |

…we don’t know if there is any significant crew error that would have any bearing on the crash and we don’t know of any crew today being the same as any 8 year ago crew so to say it’s all a pathetic crew/one pathetic crew of the same is inaccurate….

Poxy sub contractors - no good ["We can confirm that the container vessel “DALI”, operated by charter vessel company Synergy Group, is time chartered by Maersk and is carrying Maersk customers’ cargo." It adds that no Maersk crew and personnel were onboard the vessel. "We are closely following the investigations conducted by authorities and Synergy, and we will do our utmost to keep our customers informed."] Last edited by arista; 26-03-2024 at 09:23 AM. |

But it is the same ship so that's probably the place to start. |
