Baltimore bridge collapse

[lilduke]

Its a terrorist attack 100% I fix my own sled, so i know what im talking about

 

[plio7]

In china They'd have it rebuilt in 6 months

you're not wrong

 

[lilduke]

you're not wrong

I know

 

[Shadam]

Yes china could have rebuilt in 6 months but that one would fall down all by its self, no impact needed

 

[lilduke]

I dont know about that, i think they send the poorly made stuff on cargo ships over here, and then crash them into bridges.



I guess thats india now though Haha

random guys on the internet with backwards hats and beards are always right I heard......

So how did the ship turn right?

The boat already had momentum the direction it was going which was a right hand swing. Even if the anchor at the front did grab and didn’t drag the bottom the back was already coming around and as soon as the anchor did catch it would make the back come around faster and further out forcing the bow to angle into the right……. Physics

The rear would swing around if the anchor was dropped, but it didn't. The front end turned right, your physics is wrong

Seems like there's a lot of Chief Engineers and Master Mariners on here

sorry I guess I said that wrong…. Watching the video I was commenting based on the boat coming towards the camera. Speaking based in the direction of the boat you can see at the end the back of the ship does start to swing to the left which is what would happen given the direction and momentum if the anchor caught. looking at it head on the back starts to swing to the right. again the anchor by the time it hits the bottom is under the boat and will pull the front of the boat sharply to the right (left if you're looking head on)

No a chief engineer but spent most of my life growing up on boats. Regardless of the side the anchor is on the boats momentum will continue to swing the way it was moving. The anchor is close enough to the front it really wont pull one way or another. Plus I have a beard and a backwards hat

Love it and will laugh every time I read it.

If you had watched the earlier video, on the starboard side there was a current draw from Curtis bay that would naturally pull the vessel that way.

So how did the ship turn right?

There is a river that flows into that area close to where the ship lost power. Also the ship is in a channel, the closer the ship got to the shallow channel walls there will be a suction effect between the hull and the channel wall.

Saaaweeeet ! Got s

Little sketchy but kinda cool. That’s fast!

In theory yes, but I spent 31 years as an electrician in a pulp mill that was also designed for redundancy. Didn't stop me from spending more nights than I care to remember trying to get it running again after it failed.

Exactly....ch!t happens and even with multiple redundancies / contingencies there is still often something overlooked, undiscovered confluence of circumstances, etc that can bring the whole thing to a stop and often at the worst time.....

An interesting read today. I bet it never makes the news though.

Container Ship Reportedly "Lost Power" In NYC Harbor, Right Before Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge | ZeroHedge

The manual wasn't written in Chinese.

The MV Dali was built in South Korea by Hyundai Heavy Industries. They've built something like 660 container ships so far.

well there is the problem, no one told the east Indian crew that? they thought it was Chinese!
