Is not knowing something a trigger for wild speculation or worse, joining dots that aren’t there? Human kinds need to fill a void where we don’t know something is a hard instinct to fight…but often it’s easier to accept radio silence over time wasting ineligible chatter.
It’s a slippery slope this extremism, next you’ll be crashing a drone into Tewksbury’s tallest building.
Huge cargo ship has power failure and cannot stop on a sixpence, looking at footage, power comes on and you can see the smoke from what I assume is the power units going full power to try and avoid the bridge. Unfortunately, the power goes again and tragically hits the bridge. Tragically and sadly, lives are lost. Accident Investigators will be on it with their professional approach.
Steve….Steve….do a handbrake turn. Do a handbrake turn. STEVE….handbrake turn it mate…..do a handbrake turn……Steve….I bet you can’t handbrake turn it, I bet you can’t…
After all the nutcases came out yesterday trying to launch conspiracy theories, I’m reading that fuel contamination may be a factor. If you lose steering you can’t just correct it with opposite lock. Dangerous at sea, but an unstoppable mass when it meets something else. Maybe it didn’t like E10.
Wild speculation, is an option, in a case like this, isn’t it? Until proven otherwise…and in this day and age, it simply wouldn’t surprise me anymore…
Somebody forgot to heat up the bunker oil so when they switched from light fuel oil for manouevering to the bunker oil for cruising at sea, the engine stopped because the cold, tar like bunker oil didnt come out. ??
The amount of energy expended on stopping wild speculation is extraordinary, and eventually will grind mankind to a halt I suspect. The sheer noise generated also means the truth gets lost or simply discredited, often by people with no actual knowledge of the subject matter. It also acts as a distraction whilst all the shady stuff happens in the shadows.
That's far too sensible an explanation. Apparently, the ship involved has a history of crashing into things. They could've hired tugs to give them a hand...but that would've cost money. RIP the poor buggers who lost their lives
Kind of. Covid at least made people question their own mortality and that of those around them….it would induce a degree of mania I guess, so some leeway granted. What it also did was normalised the simple dismissal scientific thought, of quantified and qualified studies and thinking by ignoring the content and attacking the motives of the people that do that work. Marry that with the aggression of those who wish to dispel scientific thought….they immediately remove those with a passing interest as they quickly tire of being told they are ignorant or simply can’t see ‘the big picture’. Thus the field of battle is populated by those that simply dispel everything they hear if it doesn’t suit them leading to all sorts of societal collapse.
According to the WHO, it appears so, but then if countries like the UK aren’t testing anymore, it’s hard to substantiate that. Of course, people on Facebook without the modelling computers, information streams etc etc will probably state something to the contrary.
