Was it cyber attack that shut off ship’s power & suddenly steered it straight towards bridge? I’ve never heard of either of those happening before, let alone both. One ship disaster happens to badly harm supply chain, shipping & inflation for entire USA?

You realize that’s still smaller-scale than when the Ever Given got jammed in the Suez Canal and made worldwide trade (United States included) stickier, yes? Still just one ship, no wrecked infrastructure that time, and yet…
What would Russia or China want to do this for, anyway, especially since they’d be more interested in hogging Pacific trade than Atlantic? Russia diverting our resources to make a recapture of Alaska easier???
“I’ve never heard of either of those happening before, let alone both."
Um… I gotta say, what a sheltered life you lead.
Admittedly, you’ve never done 20 years in the Navy seeing various systems fail time after time after time. Or various operators.
But you still shouldn’t be talking like an expert without SOME research. I’m going to hit google for ‘ship collisions.’
Wow. LOTS of reports to choose from. Many on film. Boats be hitting shit they weren’t supposed to ALL the time.
As for ‘straight for the bridge.’ Do you know how to drive a car?
At some point when you’re driving through a parking lot, you’re aimed at any number of things. If you lose control of your car at any moment, you’re going to hit whatever it was aimed at when you lost control.
There are a number of turns in Baltimore’s harbor to be negotiated. There’s absolutely no way they could navigate without EVER being pointed at one or another part of the bridge. Especially considering their draft and the limits on what water they could use.
You’re seeing where a bus lost control on ice and hit something and saying you’ve never heard to those two events happening.
Good Christ you’re an idiot.

Because if they admit to the reality and inevitability of coincidences, their faith in their beliefs will crumble. Evil conspiracies have to exist in order for them to blame those conspirators for whatever is wrong. Without an enemy -- communists, immigrants, Satan -- these people would have to confront the fact that chaos rules and the universe doesn't care.
Hatred they can handle. The cold empty indifference of the real world is far more terrifying.

Hey, that’s a thought. How long before all the crazies who think they’re Napolean start wearing a bad tie, a rancid hairpiece, and claim they were president, once?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
