I continue to report on this tragic bridge collapse/crash in Baltimore this morning, simply investigating and reporting facts.

I’m not drawing any conclusions.  Not yet.

I’m simply gathering as much data as I can find and reporting it to you.

But independent journalist and someone who I really respect, Lara Logan, is taking a position.

Logan claims that was an “absolutely brilliant strategic attack” on key U.S. critical infrastructure:

FULL TEXT:

Multiple intel sources: Baltimore bridge collapse was an “absolutely brilliant strategic attack” on US critical infrastructure – most likely cyber – & our intel agencies know it. In information warfare terms, they just divided the US along the Mason Dixon line exactly like the Civil War.

Second busiest strategic roadway in the nation for hazardous material now down for 4-5 years – which is how long they say it will take to recover. Bridge was built specifically to move hazardous material – fuel, diesel, propane gas, nitrogen, highly flammable materials, chemicals and oversized cargo that cannot fit in the tunnels – that supply chain now crippled.

Make no mistake: this was an extraordinary attack in terms of planning, timing & execution.

The two critical components on that bridge are the two load-bearing pylons on each end, closest to the shore. They are bigger, thicker and deeper than anything else. These are the anchor points and they knew that hitting either one one of them would be a fatal wound to the integrity of the bridge.

Half a mile of bridge went in the river – likely you will have to build a new one. Also caused so much damage to the structural integrity of the bottom concrete part that you cannot see & won’t know until they take the wreckage apart. Structural destruction likely absolute.

Attack perfectly targeted.

“They have figured out how to bring us down. As long as you stay away from the teeth of the US military, you can pick the US apart. We are arrogant and ignorant – lethal combination. Obama said they would fundamentally change America and they did. We are in a free-fall ride on a roller coaster right now – no brakes – just picking up speed.”

The footage shows the cargo ship never got in the approach lane in the channel. You have to be in the channel before you get into that turn. Location was precise/deliberate: chose a bend in the river where you have to slow down and commit yourself – once you are committed in that area there is not enough room to maneuver.

Should have had a harbor pilot to pilot the boat. You are not supposed to traverse any obstacles without the harbor pilot.

They chose a full moon so they would have maximum tidal shift – rise and fall. Brisk flow in that river on a normal day & have had a lot of rain recently so water was already moving along at a good pace.

Hit it with enough kinetic energy to knock the load-bearing pylon out from under the highway – which fatally weakens the span and then 50 percent of the bridge fell into the water.

All these factors when you look at it – this is how you teach people how to do this type of attack and there are so few people left in the system who know this. We have a Junior varsity team on the field.

Tremendous navigational obstruction. Huge logistical nightmare to clean this up. Number of dead is tragic but not the whole measure of the attack.

That kind-of bridge constantly under repair – always at night because there is so much traffic and they cannot obstruct that during the day. So concern is for repair guys who were on foot (out of their vehicles) working who may now be in the water – 48 degrees at most at this time of year.

When you choke off Baltimore you have cut the main north-south hazardous corridor (I95) in half. Now has to go around the city – or go somewhere else.

To move some of that cargo through the tunnel you may be able to get a permit but those are slow to get and require an escort system that is expensive and has to be done at night.

For every $100 dollars that goes into the city, $12 comes from shipping. Believe this will cripple the city of Baltimore at a time when they do not have the resources to recover.

Others agree with Logan and find this too hard to believe as an accident:

One of the strangest parts of the story are the two apparent power outages the cargo ship experienced just moments before the crash.

What WAS that?

From ABC News:

A harbor pilot and assistant onboard the cargo ship reported power issues, multiple alarms on the bridge, and loss of propulsion prior to the incident, according to a Coast Guard memo obtained by ABC News.

An unclassified Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency report said the container ship Dali “lost propulsion” as it was leaving port and warned Maryland officials of a possible collision.

Perhaps not coincidentally, it was two years ago when Lara Logan told Fox News the Biden Admin was prepping the battlefield for an attack on American soil.

Was she prophetic?

MUST SEE: Bridge Crash Video Sped Up To 8x Shows A Very Different Picture

Once again, I’m not here to make accusations or go looking for “conspiracies”….

I’m simply investigating and reporting what I find.

Earlier I had this report:

FACT-CHECK: The Captain of the Baltimore Cargo Ship Is Ukrainian?

Now I have to show you something else about the horrific crash of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore....

What exactly happened here?

Did the ship just lose power?

Well, yes it appears to have lost power.  Twice.

But did that cause it to float off course?

I don't know, I'm not a ship captain, but I do know that what I see in the video below is a ship that seems "aimed" directly at that bridge pier.

Someone sped up the video to 8x speed and it really shows the whole thing in a different light.

Take a look:

Anyone out there with experience with ships like this?

Is this a normal kind of turn to make?

Does this look like a boat in control or out of control?

Intentional or unintentional?

I want to be clear once again I am not suggesting anyone on board did anything wrong.

Perhaps NO ONE did anything wrong.

But the video clearly shows the power flash off twice before the ship suddenly makes a huge turn and barrels head first into that bridge pier.

So...was the ship hacked?

Cyber event?

Backup video here:

I want to hear from anyone who has experience about this.
