joining the navy and then dying this way is hilariously tragic. doing this serves no purpose other than the navy jerking themselves off. it's like the Oscars.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

fucking hate how every piece of footage I've seen has been "lol, mexicans cant drive boats!!!" comments when the footage has an engine powered boat moving backwards into the bridge
like shit yeah, maybe in a better case scenario the anchor could have been dropped faster or whatever, but this clearly isn't just someone steering wrong
I see a tugboat moving alongside in some of the videos. There has also been reports of the ship losing power. Sounds like a lot of failures piling up together to create this accident. Some of those were on the ship, but also possibly from the tugboat(s) and crews.
Same exact situation happened in Baltimore
I learned this here on chapo.chat but apparently the difference between just taking out a bridge and not doing that can be like 15 seconds of power
how do you fumble a bridge
