I can think of a very simple reason why, if it WAS an attack, they minimized casualties.
The last time the US had a mass casualty attack from a foreign actor, you invaded two different nations and occupied them for more than two decades.
There’s a huge difference between a demonstration of capability, with the subtext of “Stop screwing with us, because we CAN screw you back.” and a terror attack.
Funny, my wife asked the same question about attacking during daylight hours. That assumes human casualties were the point, vs. economic/supply chain mayhem.
All the various speculation is entertaining. Will be interesting to see what information drips out. What I do know for sure is that whatever the official narrative is, that’s not the truth. If I was a betting man, my money is on deliberate act of sabotage. Why? Because of the speed with which the government ruled it out. As they say, never believe anything the government says is true until they officially deny it.
There were reports (not sure if true) that the captain was Ukranian. And supposedly (that word again) someone on a Ukranian Telegram channel was bragging about their success and threatened if the US didn't hurry up and dole out more billions for their "war effort", we should expect more attacks on our infrastructure until we "came around". There were also explosions, ie, flashes (bombs? or transformers?) that went off on the bridge right as each section fell. It is VERY suspect that all the MSM news reports have edited down that footage. Just hours after it happened, I couldn't believe the "news" droned on and on for over an hour on air, reporting the same thing - "a ship hit a bridge", over and over.
The BIGGEST red flag, is Biden came out the next day, said "Don't worry! It was "just an accident" and that our tax dollars will be used to repair that bridge!! WHAT?!? TNSB didn't get there for TWO DAYS! And that's a FOREIGN ship and they are massively INSURED against these "accidents"! I also saw that the Maryland legislature just passed a bill to continue to pay all the port businesses and workers affected by the "bridge collapse", so Maryland tax payers are stuck with that bill, which, imo, should be covered by the shipping company, too! BUT the USG can't have any private insurance investigations into what really happened, now can they? So we'll just pick up the tab, pay off anyone they that might have questions (or eyewitness stories) so no one's the wiser! 🙄
I think we are witnessing an astonishing demonstration of willful blindness…for to recognize the horror that is unfolding around us would require us to acknowledge reality and “do” something about it.
Fox News showed the raw video repeatedly, but no one there asked the obvious question, how is it that thing without power turned directly into the pylon?
BTW did you see Blinken announce Ukraine will be part of NATO? I did not see Fox mention that. Seems like a big deal.
It is increasingly kinetic WWIII, and the border is wide open. America is chock full of mercenaries.
When will it be enough? I've been asking that since 2008, at least. I don't know if that is extraordinary resilience, mere inertia or epic demoralization, but it kind of seems like we Americans are not going to do anything about "it."
But then, who knows, something might turn out to be a bridge too far. My guess is, whatever happens in November, shit gonna get real.
Mark, your third footnote struck me as particularly interesting. I wonder if you are an unwitting victim of the same psy-op I am. There are millions of people worldwide who are attacked via gangstalking, directed energy weapons, and many other forms of harassment and injury. There are an estimated 400,000 victims in the US alone, and an estimated six million worldwide.
The relatively well-known MK-Ultra program, run by the CIA and other "intelligence" agencies, was never shut down, though the US Congress tried to stop it decades ago. This decades-long, endless "experimental torture program," as it has been aptly called, has metastasized into something even more malignant than the original MK-Ultra, and it ravages the lives of many more innocent people than the original MK-Ultra program ever did, the great majority of them unaware that they are its victims.

One tip-off for me is why the rush to insure that we will rebuild the bridge at taxpayer expense of course. Any other like disaster (for example, any oil spill and we go after the corporate owners). So 2 things come to mind. One, it’s yet another federal taxpayer funded money laundering scheme. Two, it begs the question- who actually “hackjacked” the ship and for what reasons?
It's funny - I had the exact same conversation with someone about this very event. "Why wasn't it done during the daytime when they could have killed hundreds of people?" That's a way of looking at these events that misses the forests for the trees.
Please consider the possibility that the power losses were created by the ship's crew themselves as they desperately tried to regain control of their systems. Entirely possible as an alternate theory that better fits the available facts, if there was in fact pandemonium among the crew before the power losses occurred.
Another thing that bothers me about the sanitized story: the power losses affecting the recorders. As an electrical professional that has spent a lot of time working on SCADA control networks, it would be criminally incompetent to not have battery backup (UPS) power for the control system. Water treatment plants in rural counties have such, much less critical applications like petrochemical facilities. I can hardly find it credible that a major ship's control system would not have it. The recorders would be part of the low powered control system, and the only time they should shut off would be if the emergency power itself was shut off, perhaps to force a reboot.
There are many things about the official story that don't add up.
Another big container ship lost power as it approached a bridge, this time in New York (https://nypost.com/2024/04/07/us-news/massive-container-ship-loses-power-near-nycs-verrazzano-bridge-days-after-baltimore-key-bridge-disaster/). I know it's possible that it was just a coincidence, but there seem to be a lot more coincidences nowadays than there used to be. And it does seem that if you zoom out and look at the big picture, these coincidences form a rough outline of an interesting shape. But even if these coincidences are all just that, conicidences, it is still not very reassuring to think that, best case scenario, we're just dealing with an accelerating competency crisis and complex systems that have been poorly maintained and are, therefore, increasingly prone to catastrophic, cascading failures.
What was all the black smoke about? Did the panicked crew try to put the ship quickly into reverse? Could the systems have been remotely hijacked/hacked from far away? So many questions, and as others have said - when the government says 'accident' my inner alarm goes into disbelief mode.
When looking at global events from the 30,000' view it looks look another attack on the global supply chains which when looked at on ground level, fail to have the same impact.
Regardless of the psychic network’s influence, all is not well here as we can clearly see. The bad guys got all the loot and have announced their diabolical agendas for us, that we now see unfolding.
They have unleashed destructive forces upon us, while lulling us into believing that everything with the exception of Trump is under control.
It’s like being forced to read a trashy sci-fi novel that despite your efforts, can’t stop. A dystopian work that seems somehow hauntingly familiar, like being caught in a trap or a nightmare you can’t wake up from. Despite my efforts to heed the call to “DO SOMETHING” I can only look on helplessly at the havoc befallen us.
Some say we were chosen for this, but it’s not fun anymore watching these disasters unfold, resulting in murder and mayhem, each of which could have easily been averted.

You just saved my sanity. I saw the turn..getting lambasted on subscribe web site with all these preppers telling me there was no turn.

Asking obvious questions - absolutely necessary! Especially when we're trained to avoid them at all costs.
One thing you missed is the crew master is Ukrainian. His profile was deleted from the ship's crew manifest the following day. Jason Powers did a good job of investigating here: https://jasonpowers.substack.com/p/francis-scott-key-bridge-collapses
It is perfectly explainable:
Office fires, just like WTC 7.
