I just read Jeff Childer's take on this in his Substack this morning. He points out that no MSM reports identify the pilot or the crew, either by name or nationality. And that the series of circumstances happened as they had to happen for the ship to impact that crucial pylon.

I am always skeptical of anything this current admin says, especially when they were so quick to rule out a deliberate incident. But I really appreciate any other rational assessment such as yours.

I agree, we should take any and all statements from this admin and from the MSM as suspect. That is why I am going with the videos I have seen and matching it with my experience. I honestly have no idea what either the WH or MSM have said about it other than it happened, well I did just catch a headline stating that this vessel was involved in another collision and that the company is DEI captured. But my initial assessment has from been from looking at video. From what I see, it looks like a propulsion plant failure when going against the current. This does not mean that there were not shenanigans going on that would make a power plant failure more likely. If DEI was involved, then this is certainly the case.

Personally, I think this is both the more likely and more damning; they force DEI upon companies making them rate watch standers not upon qualifications and proven knowledge and ability only but upon gender and skin color and then sit back and await the results. This is harder to pin upon those behind this.

A point I have brought up on the recent aviation incidents that I think applies here is that due to the lockdowns and border closures, everyone in the transportation industry is “rusty”. The Pilots/Captains, crews, maintenance personnel, administrators, inspectors, the crafts themselves and machinery aboard them are all “rusty” due to prolonged period ashore for maritime folk and aground for aviators due to the panic. This too was planned, IMHO.

Therefore, my comments on this not being a targeted attack but an accident must be taken in the context that I believe multiply things were done to ensure that accidents such as this become more common.
