I didn't know where to pit this. https://www.artofmanliness.com/living/l ... r-created/

That prostate warmer sure would be nice during the winter months.

I see that I should have put this in the butt plug thread.

This doubtless reflects my ignorance of those huge cargo ships, but how does one of those things end up so close to a bridge support? They aren’t going that fast at that point, no? You steer for the middle, right? Given that these things don’t happen often, it must be kinda hard to do that.

I've seen longer clips where the power goes out on the ship a few times beforehand. Apparently fucked with the controls. I'm similarly ignorant, but that's the only additional insight I got.

There are a couple of old lift bridges around me. Not sure if they are still operational, but I remember as a kid in the 70s seeing the bridges lift up to allow large boats to pass by. I had nightmares about them for years. I'd wake up from dreams where I was falling into the water a couple hundred feet down. My earliest dreams were about falling from the sky into freezing water. Horrible shit.

I've seen a similar video that appears to show the ship losing power at least two times, followed by the engine(s) restarting and black smoke coming from the smokestack as if they were trying to rev the engines to course correct.

Ah, okay, that would be a plausible explanation.

They issued a Mayday call before hitting bridge.

Hello,

This provides a pretty good visual summary:

How does this get spun by the right? Wokeness on ships instead proper training? Big government interfering with the market forces that would have kept the power going? Pedophile ring on the ship? NATO whores seducing the crew? (Sorry, that last one is on the left.)

edit: Obvious omission: Chinese Communists and Muslim Muslims.

I saw a video on youtube maybe 7 or 8 years ago that showed a guy who swam into the Niagara River a few miles away from me. His buddy had gone into the swirling currents to grab a piece of driftwood - they made furniture out of driftwood. I might have done the same thing myself. Anyway, the first guy struggled in the current, his friend dove in after him, and the undercurrent dragged them both down. Black guy and a white guy. They died together as friends. My best friends knew one of them. Still kinda shocked that youtube allowed the vid, but my lasting memory is of the second guy's white t-shirt disappearing under the waves as they both drowned, bystanders filming, scrambling for rope, but unable to do anything. I used to swim in the river, but I'll never go in the water again.

I think we've got your answer Doc.
