    The MTA facility is 100 yards from the east approach I’m sure they stopped traffic there but you can see all the way to the crest of the bridge where the crew was working.
    Apparently they were on break and in the trucks, one was talking to his wife so they had phones, assuming MTA has 2 way radios in the trucks.

    The west bound traffic got stopped and there is nothing on the west approach but concrete dividers for a mile or so that means a cop just happen to be within a minute or 2 of being able to shut it down?
    There’s a lot of urgency, incredible timing and impressive response time to shut traffic down on this large of a bridge but not get the work crew off

    I wouldn't know about the music. But the ship made a turn and headed right for the support of the bridge. It lined itself up and took it out is what it looks like.

    Looked very deliberate to me. You didn't see it make the turn and aim for the support?
    Keep in mind that you're looking at a particular perspective/angle that exacerbates the appearance of the turn of the vessel. Look at the map of vessel track. It's not actually that also extreme.

    Also, consider that the vessel was not under power during most of these movements. It lost power, started drifting. The emergency generator apparently came on, but the shift lost power again. So, for it would be a deliberate attack, that would be very, very difficult to pull off.

    First you'd have to know who attacked you. It'll likely be months before this administration even admits it was an attack (if it was). But IMO, if it was an attack, we will see more of them before too long...
    In case you didnt notice, I was trying to be as over the top ridiculous as you are. I was trying to match your energy.

    The ridiculousness you see in my statement is what some of us see in yours. So take that for what it's worth.

    I'll check that out thanks.

    It had a bouncing anchor along with it was running a ground. When you run out of a channel the bow will dig in with that big torpedo on the bow of the ship and the stern will swing around. Just like it did in the videos.
