Baltimore Francis Scott Key bridge

ship collision & resultant bridge collapse

(was it an accident?????)

 

COLLAPSE of Engineering Integrity

'Socio-Economic closed-loop feedback' phenomena

 

COLLAPSE of media integrity → long ago !!!!!

 

DANGER of 'experts' → INCOMPETENCE

 

INCOMPETENCE interfering with Engineering integrity

CAUSAL of circumstances

UPDATE: September 2024

The Initial arguments (below) regarding Baltimore's Francis Scott Key (FSK) bridge were started 2 hours after the news reports of the collision&collapse.

 

Baltimore (via its Mayor) have filed lawsuits against the owner & operator of the ship Bali a Singapore-flagged ship: Grace Ocean Pte Ltd, and its manager Synergy Marine Group.

 

BUT, viewing the collapse of the bridge it becomes clear that it was of marginal, flimsy construction, so much so that it becomes clear that it was a disaster-waiting-to-happen AND, it is contended, it was KNOWN that it was going to happen.

 

The flimsiness of the FSK bridge was clear from the videos of the collapse – contrast to bridges destroyed by Ukraine in its quest to defend itself, whilst sections destroyed the remainder stands. Thus the flimsiness of FSK was so much so that it is reasonable to suggest that were any structural maintenance required, such as replacing corroded bolts, sections, whatever, that in removing just one bolt would likely seriously increase the risk of TOTAL FAILURE & collapse – of the entire bridge.

 

A DOMINO bridge - as was seen by its progressive, sequential collapse.

 

Now take into account the historicals of the Twin Towers which were IMPLODED (Proof: absence of Transfer-of-Momentum dynamics for a natural collapse; thus additional high impulse (explosive) forces, and sequential → by definition IMPLOSION)

It becomes clear that 'accidents' are often in fact sabotages.

 

(Also BP Deepwater Horizon – another dodgy event)

 

It is contended that the FSK collision was staged BECAUSE the bridge (like Twin Towers) was economically unviable to replace & for the removal of the FSK bridge, which, it is contended, was known to becoming DANGEROUS & UNSAFE.

 

The issue of the Bali having had a previous steering/power failure is also easily staged – by far, much, much easier than rigging implosion charges into the multiple Twin Towers & other buildings, for implosions.

 

 

-------------------------

 

 

Initial arguments regarding Baltimore Bridge collision & collapse, developed 2 hours after the event.

 

Tuesday March 26, 2024 c06h30 (GMT) - cruising Ireland gorgeous waterways - viewing web-broadcast of Skynews Breakfast (Kay Burley & crowd) – reporting on the collapse of the FS Key bridge consequent to a ship colliding with structure (Baltimore time: - 5hrs).

Live comments from 'expert' (Retired Royal Navy Admiral Dr Chris Parry) – Parry comments, even though early & speculative regarding the ships collision – but then Parry drifts into INCOMPETENT commentary on the bridge collapse & linking to Twin Towers 'collapses', which TTs in fact were IMPLOSIONS – later repeats of Parry's comments were absent the TTs link, but still no truth from media that TT towers were IMPLODED.

 

Was FS Key bridge incident an accident?????

 

 

----------

 

Thoughts&Prayers go out to the victims & families

and the entire Baltimore community over the tragedy of this (staged, as contended) event.

 

----------

 

There is a 'Socio-Economic closed-loop feedback' phenomena to this tragedy – the Causal Factors:- that led to a flimsy bridge, that ignored adequate safety protections, that Corporate Finance pressures corrupted, that media covered-up, that (like the Tacoma Narrows Bridge) was a tragedy-waiting-to-happen → from conception of the bridge.

 

 

Francis Scott Key Bridge (or Key Bridge, or Beltway Bridge) was opened March 23, 1977, just over 47 years ago – FS Key Bridge is an important link in Baltimore's road network, as it was known it would be at the time of its design – yet a flimsy, cheap bridge was authorised – and this a mere 7 years after the expensive and highly Scientised & Engineered NASA Moon landings – how could such flimsiness in design event into construction??????? …..........

 

 

How could such flimsiness in design event into construction???????

 

Easy –> Money Talks!!!!!!!

and thus COMPETENCE is rendered INCOMPETENT

which renders INCOMPETENCE 'competent'

 

 

 

Retired Admiral Dr Chris Parry was called upon by Skynews to comment immediately after the tragedy (within around ½ an hour) of Key Bridge collapse – whilst his commentary regarding the ship colliding had competent speculative interpretation his follow-on comments, regarding the bridge design and linking to Twin Towers was outside his competency.

 

That Parry would make such unqualified, incompetent, commentary on Engineering issues is bizarre, the more-so in light of his Doctoral Dissertation (2017, Reading University, School of Politics, Economics & International Relations - https://centaur.reading.ac.uk/75262/ entitled: "Do Norman Dixon's theories about incompetence apply to senior naval commanders?" ) which was some decades after his graduation from Oxford (Jesus College) with a degree in History …............. NOT in Science ….. or Engineering ….. or other technical matters …......... thus IMPLYING: incompetence does apply to senior naval commanders when they wrongly make comments on matters wherein they have no competency.

 

To copy&paste a relevant section from an earlier Paper at cdadd.com – 'Vladimir Putin / Carlson Tucker Shallow Interview over Polarised positions

( https://cdadd.com/economy-engineering/183-vladimir-putin-carlson-tucker-shallow-interview-over-polarised-positions )

 

Tune into Skynews, or any media channel or rag, for garbage arguments about lowering taxes & interest, that growth is driven by private sector, …...........

This is the kind of UTTER STUPIDITY that flows from defective Socio-Economics models – Governments/Parliaments are key components to developing Nations, shorting funding to these is a route to destruction – Interest Rate (at stable & real level) is necessary to attain stable pensions, stable socio-economies, …...

Economies function BECAUSE of Societies – but Societies are unstable because Economies are in chaos ….

 

… the evidences for this is the decline of NHS, Dental, Military, Incomes & Wealth, ….. - and hard evidence are two RN aircraft carriers stuck in harbour due to the decline in technical expertise – utilising hi-tech does not mean one automatically achieves low-tech expertise, and the commonality of both propulsion drives being the cause (as reported) suggests that reliance on hi-tech has come with reduction in low-tech.

(As an aside, the writer as an RN Artificer left the RN (to study Elec. Eng. at UCT) because lower skilled electricians were fast-tracked into 'mechanicians' so as to phase out, by short-sighted cost-cutting, the high-grade Artificer branch, which is what kept the RN functional to a high standard – but more alarming, some 'mechanicians' would be promoted to Commissions, which would then Rank them above graduate engineers, thus half-trained persons outranking Graduate Engineers & with some mechanicians 'asserting' power over technical competency through physical assaults => recipe for disaster – intelligence suppressed by brutality & rank → and we see the effect of this reality with two aircraft carriers non-functional. Sabotage within or without???)

 

And Grenfell Towers fire (for e.g.) was similarly due to Engineering Professionalism being undermined

 

Professional (Chartered) Engineering expertise has been undermined for near half-century, because of increasing saturation of MoneyBase&Supply (=> Financial Tsunamis) – with half-qualified technicians being called Tech-Engineers and legislation allowing these lower skilled persons to over-rule Professional/Chartered Engineers – and now UK Gov. are embarking on dumbing-down further by adopting Apprentice-Degree courses – the STUPIDITY of DUMB politicians boggles the mind – it's all driven by corporate organised crime (corpOrgCrime) who can buy-off politicians (witness PM Kier Starmer and his acceptance of gifts – contrast to Nelson Mandela who took a 50% pay-cut as President of SA, after 27 years in jail)

 

 

With Physics & Engineering being so easily undermined it is not difficult to recognise why economics & finance models are fraudulent, super-saturating Global MoneyBase&Supply with defrauded & counterfeit money – visit Nobel Foundation and view CVs of Economics prize-winners (fast-tracked mathematicians with zero Science training & zero Engineering expertise)

 

Thus Socio-Economies destabilised by corporate gangbanging with EWMDs - which, over the decades, has brought numerous market collapses, and now 1st-World nations that have increasing cost-of-living crises, bankruptcies of councils, 2nd & 3rd World nations with crises through to starvations, UK Police in disgrace through complete structural break-down …......... BUT, all his stems from a broken & dishonest UK Parliament that won't even acknowledge that Opticks are wrong ….. they refuse to see the Light as it should be seen …... they don't understand how&why they see clouds, perspective …... hence bogus 'science', bogus maths, fraudulent finance/economics models – thus Socio-Economic breakdown - thus angers, violence → thus wars ….. within & without ….

 

Parry, with a degree in History, joined the Royal Navy in 1972 as a seaman officer and became 'conditioned' into accepting this dumbing-down, because he had no Engineering skills, and those with Engineering skills were bullied-down by Rank, NOT technical expertise, into acceptance of the status-quo & downward dictates ….. thus, decades later, unqualified commentary from Parry over the Key Bridge tragedy => INCOMPETENCE becoming 'competent'.

 

 

BUT, Parry is simply one of many victims of corporate Organised Crime that plagues Society – because Parliaments/Governments do not tackle corpOrgCrime - because the many&frequent-changing faces that make up Parliament/Government are no match to the long-entrenched faces that control corporates.

 

In fact, corporate criminals are now in, as MPs, and corrupting Parliament & Government …............................

 

So, with the top Ranks in organisations (government, military & corporate) being oppressively suppressed by higher Powers it is not difficult to see the efficacy of those organisations being rapidly eroded.

 

So, with the Francis Scot Key bridge, the fact that it functioned correctly and (seemingly) safely for some 47 years is NOT proof of sound Engineering design, and this is perfectly clear from the evidence of its TOTAL failure with just one upright being impacted – it was a flimsy design, regardless of whether the flimsiness is in the structure or the inadequacy of surrounding safety barriers, or other inadequacies – a domino structure.

 

A Safe Design is an HOLISTIC concept.

 

It cannot be ruled out that the structurally flimsy bridge was yielding evidence of weakening thus, like the TTs, persons unknown generated schemes to purposefully destroy the bridge which would save vast sums of money in cautious deconstruction, and replacement. And, opening insurance claims.

 

The cargo ship Dali is owned (as reported) by Singapore-based Grace Ocean Private Ltd. and Synergy Marine Pte Ltd., also based in Singapore, is the ship’s manager. Media reports also state that the Dali had previously had steerage failure(s).

 

USA has a track-record of covering-up of tragic events and presenting bogus Inquiry Reports: JFK assassination, Twin Towers, BP Deepwater Horizon, ....

So, should one readily believe the immediate media reports – it's certainly strange that Skynews would have an RN Admiral speculate within minutes of the Key bridge incident – it fits into the norms for a cover-up – and media deceptions.

 

The quickness of USA Authorities to state that it was believed to be an accident pre-closes debate/inquiry (as with TT implosions) into the possibility/probability of a criminal act before a proper investigation, hence priming public beliefs before evidence.

 

The fact that the incident happened at night, i.e. with limited on-bridge traffic, a ship losing power, commentary on black smoke 'suggesting' attempts to reverse, would fit with a pre-planned event

 

Viewing the transverse view of the bridge coming down it is difficult to detect any anomalies that would suggest a deliberate act, which is in stark contrast to the clear evidence of implosions for the TTs. But the points of catastrophic separation of the sections of the bridge need close scrutiny – clearly a disaster-waiting-to-happen, which 'happening' was probably ABLY-ASSISTED.

 

But, again, what weight can one attach to anything USA Authorities put out??????

 

 

INCOMPETENT 'competence' RULES

because MONEY-TALKS!!!

 

 

 

As always, constructive engagement is welcome.
