Possibly, or possibly the failure affected the backup system as well. The backup systems also generally have less power than the primary systems, and thus may not be able to make course changes as rapidly.A cargo ship like this has a back-up system in case of initial system failure. It might be the crew didn’t have enough time to execute the back-up system to correct the ship’s course.
That's uncalled for. There's no need to make this political.Switching to a back-up system probably required manual steering course direction. If the pilot is Biden supporter he wouldn't know left from right.
Building bridges does generally take a while. The Sunshine Skyway bridge in St. Petersburg took 7 years to re-open after a freighter hit it in 1980.Biden says it will take some time to rebuild the bridge.
Scary stuff! I think I remember you’re a Baltimore local? Hope everyone’s ok on your side of the screen. I haven’t heard about any victims yet but hoping everyone makes out of the water ok.
Live Updates: Major Bridge in Baltimore Collapses After Being Struck by Cargo Ship
A Singapore-flagged vessel struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday. Part of the span has collapsed, and an emergency response is underway, the authorities said, with people possibly in the water.www.nytimes.com
Better version of cnn video:
Thanks. I have one friend who works at the port, but he's fine. I'm not sure, but it sounds like the only people people on the bridge might have been road crew. They managed to issue a mayday and shut down traffic ahead of the collision.Scary stuff! I think I remember you’re a Baltimore local? Hope everyone’s ok on your side of the screen.

Good to hear! It’s also great fortune it happened in the middle of the night and not at a much more trafficked time of day.Thanks. I have one friend who works at the port, but he's fine.

Ask the guy who went on a cruise to set your thermostat.from the mad drivel you are posting here i wouldn't trust you to set a thermostat let alone listen to anything you have to say about ships.
This is comforting I was freaking out at 5:20 in the previous videos thinking about the cars going down. Yes, thankfully at night!Good to hear! It’s also great fortune it happened in the middle of the night and not at a much more trafficked time of day.
"I'm hereby stepping down as president and will be replaced by Donald J. Trump effective immediately."A major artery in Baltimore is no more.
Rebuilding it is a no-brainer; what could Biden do/say that would elicit a favorable response from your good self?
But that was different. For reasons.Will Congress support funding when they return to session?
Rep. Dan Meuser (R-Pa.) told Fox Business on Thursday it was “kind of outrageous immediately for Biden to express on this tragedy the idea that he’s going to use federal funds to pay for it in entirety.”
“This is a crisis situation, but it needs a plan, not a knee-jerk spend reaction,” Meuser said.
[eh, I think spending will be involved unless the congressman can waive a wand]
Notably, when Minnesota's I-35 bridge collapsed in 2007, "the House of Representatives and the US Senate voted unanimously for $250 million in emergency funding for Minnesota, and the bill was signed into law by President George W. Bush on August 6, just days after the collapse."
