Media reports speculation that dirty fuel was involved. They should wait for the final report.
I like Gabieees suggestion and safety tugboat accompaniment.

Re: THERE HAS BEEN A NEAR TOTAL SHIP-BRIDGE DISASTER!!!!!!
This may not be 100% accurate, but the ship was apparently able to communicate its emergency and gave law enforcement 90 seconds to block the bridge, and no traffic went down, except for a pothole repair crew of 8, 2 of which were rescued.

Re: THERE HAS BEEN A NEAR TOTAL SHIP-BRIDGE DISASTER!!!!!!
We, somewhat routinely run barges into bridges in flyover, and as J alluded to, it's often due to a power failure or a breakaway. I suppose our saving grace is that the barges are smaller. Maybe we need new procedures, regulations and oversight for more tugboat presence/assistance. I ASSUME the J's...

THERE HAS BEEN A NEAR TOTAL SHIP-BRIDGE DISASTER!!!!!!
Baltimore, MD 3/26/2024.
Per, you are on the spot as we will be doing outside analysis and liberal recommendations.
Gabriel, are you satisfied with the braking abilities of cargo ships?
I’m blaming a lack of redundancy in control systems.

Apologies, it’s 45 min…Gabrilian as we say.
A guy saw a crash and it was ugly, and he decided to be a pilot.

Officially unsolved, but kinda looks like a pilot suicide to us, I think.

Re: This is kind of a double post
About a week ago, we had some lively thunderstorms with huge hail and tornado warnings. I continue to be amazed at the diversity of aeroplanie routes- some flights thread needles, some flights go hundreds of miles out of the way, some flights punch through cells.

Re: 737 Max troubles;:The latest news...
Wrong! Duct tape and baling wire! Plus, for the doors/plugs, I’m thinking a good tie down ratchet strap or two are in order. Maybe a sheet of good 4 by 4 wire concrete reinforcement mesh? I guess the screwdriver might be useful to un-jam the go-forward switch on a pilot seat. And WTH?, you can’t fix...

Two words: Cheap composites in and around the switch and cover.
And it almost is MCAS…the motor keeps running…

Re: 787 troubles, the latest news..
It does not_reconcile with:
1. The rumor of the instrument screens going blank (not_that windows computers don’t_do that from time to time.
2. Nor would I think you’d put passengers on the ceiling.
3. Gabriel ignored my Airplane! prompt.
4. Yes, ban fish and lots of other things.

Guarded switches
SUPPOSEDLY:
Hostie brings pilots “the fish.”
They bump a guarded switch on the back of the pilot seat.
The pilot seat begins moving forward.
Shoves the pilot into the control column.
Dive ensues.
Commentary:
It’s a completely different kind of MCAS, altogether.
