“wonder why the Biden administration immediately offered to foot the bill for the entire disaster”
Just reading the tea leaves: More billions of taxpayer dollars distributed to cronies in the smash-and-grab being perpetrated by insiders who know the meltdown is coming and want to feather their nests before it tanks. The illusion that the government is anything other than a vast criminal enterprise is dissipating like the morning mist.
The real question is was this Palestine Ohio train derailment part 2, death by a thousand cuts from the Globalists? Why were there 13 containers "hazardous" materials shipped from CDC to Sri Lanka?
So now that his conspiracy theory has been shown to be foolish, he's trying to cover up his tracks by providing 'technical information' he wants us to believe 'proves' his claim. Which is what, exactly? He claims he's seen no explanation that makes sense - but I provided a clear explanation here the other day in response to his first wild-eyed missive of nonsense. And none of it relies on current or wind...
I won't reprise my entire explanation here, I will just focus on on a couple of points.
1. Rudder power failover - It's clear the failover power on the Dali was its generators (two of them), and that's how the massive rudders that are subject to large forces are powered. You'll note that after the initial power outage, there is a resumption of power. I noted that there was no steaming light, indicating that this was backup, generator power. We then see a big smoke plume as the generator power is being used to restart the number 1 engine and more smoke as the engine is pushed to max power an thrown into reverse to try and slow the ship down. At this point, they have power for the rudder as well again.
The VDR is powered by a UPS. It's "missing data" only from the electronic sources during the initial power outage. Audio tracks of ships radios are still being recorded, the VDR worked fine - but without power there was no sensor/nav data to read. None of the technical data shared above means that Dali would not lose rudder control for a short period during a total power loss. consider they lost power twice in under 5 mins, and even if they hit the 45 second failover time, that's still 90 seconds of no rudder control if operating to spec. Also be clear - backup systems can and do fail. Things can happen to slow the regaining of control even after the rudder power is restored. The are huge hydraulic systems. When the power resumes you can bet there is a startup period, pressure has be restored to the system. I don't know the exact details of course but one should not read the tech details above and think that would have prevented what happened to the Dali. It could not. There is no immediate rudder power failover. Fyi, the deets of the Dali is that one rudder is powered by one of the ships two massive generator and it's programmed to failover as per specs and regs.
2. It wasn't the current - First off, there is a lil principle called cavitation that I should have explained in my first note on this. Cavitation are longitudinal forces that push a boat/ship the direction of the propeller spin. Props are designed to minimize this effect while moving forward, but its effects are much more pronounced when being reversed. The Dali's stern swings strongly to port, easily seen in the video and gps plot. This is caused by the full power being applied in reverse. This effort easily overwhelms the rudder commands. That his how the stern comes around.
If you watch the video carefully, you'll see the ship's bow veering to port slightly before the collision as the rudder commands begin to take effect. I am not surprised at all that the rudder does not respond instantly, it does not do so under normal conditions. This is a huge ship that if you wanted to stop it fully might take a mile. This all happened so quickly, and with two power outages.
This article seems to presume that ocean cargo ships have systems like modern airliners or something. They do not. There isn't instant failover for all systems, and the ships are slow. There is time to do things in most circumstances. This was really the 'perfect storm' of failures. The last failure in the chain was that the pillars of the bridge were not reinforced. We've learned from previous incidents that these pillars can be reinforced to withstand massive blows from ships. It's a big project and the footings are not small, perhaps it can't be retrofitted to this channel. It was always going to fail catastrophically if a ship struck it. And given the amount of shipping traffic, even a very low probability event like this was sure to happen at some point.
I will offer a comment about wind and current. That ship has HUGE 'windage' meaning even light winds have a significant effect on its direction when stacked high with containers. Any wind would have an observable effect, even if slight. As well, there is rarely no current in a channel.. So it's entirely possible that both wind and current had some effect, but it's probably small. Note that in such small body of water winds are puffy and not consistent, often effected by features on the land that channel the wind etc. Just cuz the water looks placid close the camera doesn't mean there couldn't be some breeze elsewhere that effected them.
Please stop the conspiracy theorizing. There is literally zero basis for any of it at this point. We do need to know the cause of the power failures and that info is starting to come out. Should it point to sabotage or intentional actions, then we have evidence for such claims. But we do not have any at this point. None.
I sail but don't steer ships. My initial thoughts are:
1. It is highly unlikely a huge ship going one direction at 8 knots, could lose power AND then change course AND still hit a pylon basically head-on ALL by accident. Statistics would indicate more space then pylon under bridge and non-head-on collision more likely if any accident were to occur.
2. Occams Razor: In order to hit that pylon nearly head-on someone had to want that outcome. The dramatic turn out of channel followed by straight run into pylon can be explained by chance? Or by random miscalculated actions on board?
3. Huge media parroting op long before any investigation: "This wasn't terrorism, stop being a conspiracy theorist! Hmmmmmm. So asking questions & speculating s conspiracy now?
It’s often the cover up, that is the “Tell”. It’s the same immediate “nothing to see here” explanation, followed by obfuscation and misdirection. This smells like Lahaina, East Palestine and West Texas Fires.
What do the Francis Scott Key Bridge and WTC Bldg 7 have in common?
1) Both collapsed into their own footprint in less than 7 seconds.
2) Neither is explicable by other than deliberate structural integrity compromise;
a. "normal office fires" CAN NOT induce simultaneous global structural failure in a steel frame building such as 7 was
b. the ship DID NOT "drift" into that pylon
3) In just hours, the FBI KNEW , in 7 who did it, and in FSK bridge it wasn't Terrorism.
4) Critical evidence is compromised or removed.
5) Massive insurance industry involvement is integral to both.
6) US taxpayers will ultimately foot the bill.
Other commonalities will come to light. I'm gonna go with Lara Logan's initial take; we're seeing the result of a cyber attack by parties as yet unknown. Like 9/11, this was deliberate.
9/11 terrorized the US populace into supporting a war of terror that was exported to the world.
Where are the charges of the captain? Two days after the grounding of the Exxon Valdez, the National Transportation Safety Board reported that the captain of the Exxon Valdez was legally drunk when he was tested some 10 hours after the incident.
On 13 January 2012, the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia capsized off the coast of Tuscany after hitting a rock in the Tyrrhenian Sea. Francesco Schettino, the captain of the cruise liner, was jailed for 16 years for multiple manslaughter after the disaster that left 32 people dead
This is a bigger disaster to our economy, to the families who lost family members, to the water and sea life in the harbor. And more. Yet nothing. Will there be any charges or will it be like the WEF monsters who still run free?
So many “experts” will always comment whenever there is a disaster. I don’t know the first thing about shipping so won’t comment about the mechanics/physics of the Dali disaster. However, since COVID, I’m hesitant to believe what the government tells me. Trust but verify…
The insurance company of the vessel would conduct its own investigation - unless of course someone else decided they would assume all costs. Which would be a great way to block a 3rd party investigation and control the outcome. However, those injured or the family of those whose lives were lost - also have a claim against the insurer of the vessel. My take on that announcement was that the US government would immediately release funding for removal and rebuilding and not that the owner/operator and insurer would not be held liable. Would be interesting to see how this was handled in other infrastructure collision cases.
If you to make a boat/ship turn on a dime, drop a bow anchor and turn the rudder. Otherwise it will maintain its course. This is basic seamanship. This was not an accident. And Biden's quick response was based on a lengthy consideration of all implications, not possible in just a few hours.
Don't you find it an interesting "coincidence" Trump gives a speech in which he threatens China with one hundred percent tariff on cars built by China coming over the southern boarder and the next thing you know a major port and trade corridor is disrupted?
Don't you find it interesting that the right rudder
Input stopped and the ship straightened out once the bow was on a collision course with the bridge pillar?
If the rudder had been stuck the ship would have continued it's right hand turn, no? and would've missed the pillar or struck it a glancing blow. Don't you find that curious?
If someone was trying to shut down a very busy port and shipping corridor to send a message but didn't want to incur the wrath of a nations people by killing large numbers of them, wouldn't they do it in the wee hours of the morning when traffic was lightest?
Now there's a conspiracy theory I can sink my teeth into😉
The technical information in this post is very dense. What I gather is that the bridge collapse must have been a deliberate event for political gain. Sorry to be so obtuse, Mr. Leake...but does this mean you think CCP is behind this? Or who benefits from this disaster?
I am consistently very impressed with your ability to get to the bottom of crimes others have left unsolved....starting with the COLD A LONG TIME...thank you so much for your work.
Biden spit in the face of God by proclaiming this holy day of Easter as “Transgender Visibility Day.” God have mercy on us. I thought Biden already proclaimed a day in June, during “Pride Month” to be “Transgender Visibility Day.”
I, like Abraham, have been bargaining with God. God, if there are only 50 righteous people in our country, will you save us? What if there are only 20 righteous people, or only 10 righteous people, will you save us?
The 6th day of the month of April is this Saturday. Will you join me in fasting and prayer for the salvation of our country and justice and reparations for the J6 political prisoners? I will continue this on the 6th day of every month.
I understand that the Dali had several power glitches before starting the voyage, and may have been related to too much refrigeration power requirements. They tried load balancing the refrigerators to keep each source under its limit but total power was still too high. If so, it never should have left port.

this was another inside job to destroy infrastructure to speed up the great reset while blaming other countries or terrorists
