Perhaps not, but I do put BlackRock and Vanguard, Boeing's largest shareholders, in the same category as the Clinton Crime family. One must also understand that Boeing is the single largest exporter from the USA. It brings in billions in foreign funds. Finally, Boeing is tightly entwined with the military-industrial-intelligence-security-state-finance-tech complex. All the negative info coming out about Boeing is not only damaging to Boeing.

Boeing I am not convinced this is a case of ARkincide. The article is Yahoo news which lessens the creditability. I wonder why Vince Foster would say?

You can't rule anything out at this point. The timing is too suspicious.

I can see the old Saturday Night Live (Chevy Chase era) having all kinds of fun with this. Chevy gets on an airplane. Suddenly things start falling apart. He pulls on the headrest, it comes off. He goes to the toilet and flushes. The toilet falls through the floor and he struggles not to get sucked out and barely is able to shut the bathroom door behind him. He coughs and all the oxygen masks suddenly deploy. I'm not sure what the catchy concluding headline or slogan is. I'm sure you guys can think of one.

You've all likely seen video of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore.
Apparently the casualties are six of the eight workers on the bridge who were filling potholes. I think that must be the crew with the blinking lights just to the right-of-center.
And apparently the ship gave warning so that the police could close the bridge. But you see some very lucky cars and trucks zooming past not long before the accident.
That's assuming it was an accident. My younger brother is pretty sure it's Jihad. But that goes to the point that most informed people when they see something like that in this day and age should be thinking of four primary causes, and they can somewhat overlap:
1) Mechanical failure 2) Human negligence 3) Jihad 4) DEI
The official line at Reviews-and-Things is that such accidents will begin to come on a weekly basis. And if DEI is involved, we'll likely have to guess about that. The press is not likely to report that an accident occurred because some "minority" somewhere along the maintenance chain didn't do his or her job, but oh how wonderful that the workforce was so "diverse."
One commenter seems to fill in with some reasonable detail:

We don't know and there is a good chance we won't know for years the real cause of this. It is possible that any one or all of your suppositions are true. The fact that the power went out twice could be an important factor. If an accident, then it shows the crew was trying to regain control of the ship. If sabotage it might show, there was a fight for control. It is not likely the harbor pilot was a DEI hire. These positions are the top of the ladder for civilian seamen. I suggest we assume it is a tragic accident until we have more information.
Some who don't understand newton's second law F=A x M Translated the force hitting the bridge is; F = 9 mph x 100000 tons. Thus, the impact on the bridge was the same as being hit with 900,000 tons or 2000x900,000= 1.8 million lbs. of thrust. There is no engineering miracle that can withstand that kind of punch.

These vessels do not have American crews. The crews are generally from places like the Philippines, India, etc. It has been this way for decades. The only American line that I can think of is American President Lines, and I don't even know if it still exists. The point is that the vessels do not have to follow insane American laws on DEI. The Masters, i.e. Captains also come from all over the world. It has been years since I met any, but in those days, American, English, Eastern European masters were common.
If there was some screw up because of DEI it would likely have taken place on shore. For example, the bunker fuel is reputed to have been contaminated. It has also been reported that the vessel has had ongoing problems with its engines and generators. Like Artler said, it will take a long time to find out the truth.
To correct a typo on Artler's post. The force would be 1.8 billion lbs.
While the MV "Dali" is large, it is less than half the size of the largest container vessels afloat today.

Or Oprah bumping into you in a crowd. Yeah, I get it. I have steered a 34 foot boat around bridge pylons. But in that case, the danger was of getting sucked into the pylon and damaging the boat. This was at the Port Washington Narrows, where the tide moves a tremendous amount of water just like a river. Most out-of-towners indeed assume it is a river. I'm not sure if I was at the helm when we went under the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Theoretically, you could be bashed against the concrete and that would be that. But I think the flow of the water would tend to just spit you right past it. And, if memory serves, the way its built it would be somewhat difficult to hit the pylon directly in a small boat because you would be channeled to one side or the other of the pylon. But, yes, if the boat is big enough, the bridge doesn't stand a chance. My guess is a combination of mechanical failure, navigation incompetence, and inexperience at what to do in an emergency. If the ship was steered in the correct direction, it should have just been able to coast through the bridge openings, even without power. Was it cheating too close to the pylons for some reason? I'm not sure that the proper course is right down the middle, but it might be for a ship of that size, all other craft presumably needing to give way. That's basically the way it is with the Washington State Ferries. They needn't necessarily go directly down the center of the channel (some are relatively narrow such as Rich Passage). But certainly on very low tides the boats will not veer much from the center of the channel. All other craft are expect to give it the right-of-way.

Okay. So that would be like bumping into Oprah and Michael Moore. Got it.

I have been looking at some NOAA sites on the Baltimore bridge and it would appear the vessel was pretty far outside the proper channel.

The voters of Missouri showed great sense with their vote. I have not seen such a result in years. Maybe it is a sign that people are finally waking up to the fact that our billionaire overlords are sucking at the public tit and hugely enriching themselves in the process. Missouri votes against stadium tax

That's an interesting development. Do you suppose the bad aftertaste of those black and/or Mexican murderers at the Super Bowl parade had anything to do with it?

Perhaps. I hope the main factor is that people are waking up to the huge scam that is government tax programs used to support professional sports teams, owned by billionaires.

For over fifty years I have been pointing out that a significant percentage of Americans hate America. In this percentage I included a large percentage of blacks. I would say that both the absolute percentage of the group and percentage of blacks in the group have grown.
I believe this is an almost insurmountable obstacle for our nation. When I was in college, some profs were saying the only way to get past this problem was intermarriage between the races, i.e. to get rid of whites. Look around and see if this is happening. When we were kids, whites made up about 90% of the population. Today, it is below 60%. Of course immigration from third-world dumps has helped speed things up.
I have to admit that I am not so worried about "whites" as I am about our culture. Peasants from the Andes, or Xinjiang, or Upper Volta have no understanding or attachment to our culture or history.

I was thinking today. We know that violent, often sexual, psychopaths are almost always men.
But the flip side are the legions of emotionally psychotic women. This is another fact that flies under the radar because you can't criticize women.
