It looks like we’ve got another one of those stories that we’re never going to know with any certainty what actually happened. There’s been a lot of those lately. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:
Here’s a live broadcast of the disaster area in Baltimore, Maryland.
Update (1508ET):
“Can we take the idea that this [Baltimore bridge collapse] was a terrorist attack off the table … and absolutely we cannot do that,” President Trump’s former national security adviser (and retired lieutenant general) Michael Flynn told Alex Jones in an online interview.
Flynn called the container ship ramming the 1.6-mile-long bridge mile bridge at the Port of Baltimore a “black swan” event.
Meanwhile, the White House and federal government agencies have been quick to declare this was not a terror attack.

Update (1423ET):
Maritime job placement company BalticShipping shows the captain of the container ship is a Ukranian.

Bloomberg Intelligence reports:
Reinsurers Could Bear Brunt of Baltimore Bridge Collapse Claims
The bulk of claims from the March 26 Baltimore bridge collapse will likely fall on reinsurers. The ship has about $3 billion of reinsurance coverage over a $100 million retention. Chubb is reported to be the lead insurer on the bridge’s property cover but might recover losses paid. We note it’s still early, and this will be a complex loss.
Just saw PJ Watson video blaming it on DEI where the Baltimore port personnel had no experience but plenty of inclusion and belonging.
An experienced seaman said if you lose power and it comes back it will execute the last command before the outage which explains the turn right towards the bridge.
People claiming explosives but it’s at the top and would have to much more powerful where you would see the flashes.
All Pajeet crew and one UKE, would you sail on that vessel?
FUSA voted against Israel the other day at UN?
Hmm…so hmm.
It’s all about peace now that (s)election approaches.
Buckle up 2024 is the year of Revealing and Black Swans.
