remember when you offered to quote me, then I said go ahead, then you backed out like a chump? d2jsp remembers. gg newb

&&&& the reason why still evades you. Boy I feel bad for doing this.

When I asked you for the 5 things/reasons the ONLY reason you gave was the, "Lesser of two evils" and this is why I bring it up because after all your Trump hating all you could tell me about Biden was, "Well he's not Trump" and "I didn't really like Joe Biden but he was the lesser of two evils".

I will not go find what you said word for word a few months ago.

What's funnier is you gave this answer to multiple people

That's what makes it really sad. I'm not the only person to ask you this.

Imagine my reason for voting for Trump was, "Well he isn't Joe Biden". (I didn't vote)(Constantly have to remind you about that because you forget that part too)(That I never voted for Trump and am not a political person but because I stand for what I believe in you call that "hog maga mentality".

What not bending over and getting fucked in the ass like you do?

I hope you live stream when you go vote for Biden again.....derderder, "I call people Trump cultist on the internet but I'm going to vote for someone and I have zero reasons why!". I'm a Californian!

go find your meds, take them, then quote me...im still waiting

It does have 4 generators, 2 main and 2 emergency (highly unlikely to all be running at once). But it only has 1 engine. If you lose propulsion control, steering control is virtually useless. Without propulsion, it would slow down in the water to the speed of the current and steering wouldn't do squat. But what do I know? I was only a master helmsman during my time in the Navy. Dropping the anchor was likely responsible for the ship veering out of the navigation channel and into the bridge support. When the power was lost, the engine probably flooded with unignited fuel, which we witnessed as a plume of black smoke when the power was temporarily restored. I'd have to talk to my snipe buddies about the intricacies of cold starting diesel generators, but the idea that a ship *can't* lose power is honestly quite preposterous.

The odds of a ship like that losing power are zero to none.
The diesel generator would have to go out, and the standby and tertiary generators as well.

Just not gonna happen.

That's the one fact. All the rest is supposition based on the ridiculous assumption that three or more generators could go out, simultaneously.



They probably don't even have stand-alone generators. They probably have multiple diesel engines with CAT electric sets (generators), tacked on the ass end of each.

This. Conspiracy nut jobs calling themselves critical thinkers.

Haha

And you add what to this conversation?

It was A 47 year old bridge with out pier protection. A cargo ship lost power and coasted into the bridge at about 8 knots.
Eight construction workers were filling potholes on the bridge when the crash happened. Two were rescued soon after the collapse. Divers recovered the bodies of two others and the other four are presumed dead.
The ship’s warning enabled authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span. Plus, the accident occurred at 1:30 a.m.

Facts do not fit the nutjob conspiracy theory narrative.

Thanks for giving us an update on what we all already knew day one?

People "speculate". People "ask questions". Our governments haven't exactly been forthcoming with pertinent information surrounding a lot of events/issues.

To quote Ronald Regan, "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."

It's called holding the government and our representatives accountable when they try and lie their way out of that accountability.

People trying to get to the root of what happened through inquiry is a good thing. It shows people are thinking and not just repeating.

The odds of you knowing what you're talking about are zero to none.
Obviously, one of the 2 main generators did indeed go out. If the other wasn't in operation at the time (which is a standard maritime practice so that one can be serviced while the other is in operation), then if the main goes out, you are powerless until such time as you can bring the other into operation. The aux generators aren't for running the ship, they're for restarting engines and main generators. We lost the use of individual engines and generators on my ship. It's something that happens.

I'm not gonna argue with you. Do some non-MSM research. ^^
