A container ship lost power before hitting the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, killing six people and throwing eight into near-freezing water. Dennis Prager questions why the vessel had no backup power to steer after the main system failed and calls for an investigation into the ship's safety systems.
6 people are presumed dead after the Baltimore Key Bridge collapsed. How does a ship not have any alternate power if the main power goes out? That at least power to be able to steer the, the ship, maybe not to move it, but to, to steer it. I, I have a feeling, and it may be appropriate— I'm not a big fan of instantaneous lawsuits, but to do this amount of damage— it's a key bridge, no pun intended, in Baltimore, not to mention the deaths and presumed injuries. And the trauma— imagine you're just standing there and all of a sudden the bridge collapses and you're in icy water. Well, 47-degree water is close to icy water. It's certainly hypothermia. It's free— it's as far as the body is concerned, it's freezing. So at least 8 people— what does it say here? 6 people dead, at least 8 people were thrown into the water. The container ship lost power moments before it struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge. So that's worthy of looking into. I think that that's obvious. Amazing stuff in the world.
