Ship involved in Baltimore bridge collapse has 1.5 million gallons of fuel on board - and of the 4700 cargo containers it is carrying, 56 contain hazardous material.
The two containers that went overboard do not contain hazardous material.
An additional 13 containers on the bow of the ship were damaged in the bridge collapse, Vice Admiral Peter Gautier says.
"The Coast Guard has moved aggressively to board the vessel, and we have teams on board.
The responsible party, the ship operator, has mobilized, activated the Marine salvage plan in addition to their marine pollution response plan, both things that are required by the United States Coast Guard."

"Terror Alarm has obtained evidence that Russian hackers were behind sabotage in cargo ship power system that caused Baltimore bridge incident, likely as retaliation for Nordstream."
Or could have endured what's called a blackout, which is auxiliary engines failure, which causes Main engine and steering control loss.
The reason I'm saying this is because you can notice the lights on the ship suddenly going out seconds before that happened
it looks like a power fault. a lot of these ships are like 40-60 years old, so it's definitely not something that can be ruled out. especially with a ship from singapore, where they have a lot of these hand-me-down cargo ships.

This is the case. Some things are indeed just accidents.
It is impossible to trace internet traffic of someone who does not want to be traced and anyone who is claiming they did is probably the actual source of the traffic. If I was a Russian hacker, I would have the source of the attack lead to the white house.

Why are they committing tax payer money immediately!?!? When the train derailed in East Palestine they immediately blamed the rail company. Tax payers should expedite the build, but isn’t the shipping company INSURED!?!?
Here is the question. Is the terrorism coverage, backed by the federal gov since 9-11 to keep Ins. Premiums low for non predictive events, responding. Do a little research. The cargo company has the coverage for sure.
