Initial credible theory on hacking arises where power was lost, regained, the ship turned, and power was lost again:
And consistent with an unwelcome hacking, the ship issued a mayday and according to the governor, workers on the bridge rapidly stopped traffic savings lives -- God Bless Them:
JUST IN: Officials stopped cars from crossing the Francis Scott Key Bridge just moments before the cargo ship collided, saving lots of lives.

According to Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, the ship issued a “mayday” call before colliding.

From Fox News:
State contractors working for the Maryland Department of Transportation were on the Francis Scott Key Bridge at the time of its collapse, Maryland officials said Tuesday.
"We know there were individuals on the bridge at the time of the collapse working on the bridge, contractors for us," said Paul Wiedefeld, secretary for the Maryland Department of Transportation. The workers were doing concrete duct repair, he said.
The bridge collapsed into Baltimore Harbor early Tuesday morning after a cargo ship struck one of its support beams. Rescue and recovery operations are underway, with officials searching for "upwards of seven people," according to Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace.
Two people have been pulled out of the water, one in critical condition, Wallace said earlier.
This tragedy shuts a major US Port and critical bridge. Given the incompetence of this Administration, we can expect the shut down to be lengthy. The canned comment of the esteemed Governor of Maryland working hand in glove with Pete Buttigieg:
My office is in close communication with US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski, and the Baltimore Fire Department as emergency personnel are on the scene following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. I have declared a State of Emergency here in Maryland and we are working with an interagency team to quickly deploy federal resources from the Biden Administration. We are thankful for the brave men and women who are carrying out efforts to rescue those involved and pray for everyone's safety. We will remain in close contact with federal, state, and local entities that are carrying out rescue efforts as we continue to assess and respond to this tragedy.

Incompetence rises amidst economic struggle and hardship, and by the hiring of unqualified persons driven by diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). As we see Boeing build ever worse planes, we can expect failures from all corporations that follow the woke agenda. The idea that a ship like this lost propulsion is unacceptable. We would look forward to investigations if we expected the truth. The truth is highly unlikely. Instead, they will find a fall guy.
