Thoughts On Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

March 26, 2024

https://nypost.com/2024/03/26/us-news/francis-scott-key-bridge-collapse-live-updates-latest-news/

So many thoughts.

I used to work out of Curtis Bay and I have been under the Key Bridge many, many, many more times than I have been over it. The bridge abutment has been hit before.

In the 80s they made major improvements to the abutment system due to a previous accident. There are four dolphins (impact fenders), two on either side of the bridge, that are supposed to protect the bridge from collision. The problem is that they are too small and too few. The bridge protection system was designed to protect the bridge from ships built in the 60s & 70s & 80s. The super sized ships of today are massive.

Second, if you live in the Washington – Baltimore area stand by for price increases. The Dundalk Marine Terminal is cutoff from shipping. Shipping containers bring in everything you can imagine, both foreign and domestic goods. Ro Ros bring in new vehicles, while combi carriers bring in heavy equipment, odds and ends. Nothing will be coming in until the channel can be cleared. Many truckers, who depend on the marine terminal for a living, will be forced to find work elsewhere.

They may be able to bring some items into Sparrows Point. Which is outside the bridge. However, there will be fights, lawsuits, etc… with the environuts and it may be easier to wait for a safe shipping channel to be cleared.

It is not going to be an easy time.

OceanGate CEO Bragged About Not Following The Rules

June 23, 2023

This NYP article describes exactly what I was referring to in my earlier post. The billionaire CEO refused to follow proven safety regulations in the construction of his submersible. He was operating in international waters as he would not be allowed to carry passengers in USA waters.

https://nypost.com/2023/06/23/oceangate-ceo-stockton-rush-boasted-about-breaking-some-rules-to-build-doomed-titanic-sub/

The story mentions Brian Kemper of MTS. Brian is also a member of the ASME PVHO committee which writes the standards for building & maintaining submersibles. I sponsored Brian for his first subcomittee on the PVHO committee.

I couldn’t overlook Admiral John Mauger either. John was student of mine years ago. How time flies.


OceanGate Submarine Did Not Meet USA Standard For Passenger Submarine Operations

June 21, 2023

This is the result of money ignoring safety standards.

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers has a standards committee on Pressure Vessels for Human Occupancy. https://www.asme.org/codes-standards/find-codes-standards/pvho-1-safety-standard-pressure-vessels-human-occupancy

PVHO-1 is a building standard & PVHO-2 is a maintenance standard. A passenger carrying submersible is required to meet the PVHO standard in order to carry passengers in the USA.

The billionaire owner/builder ignored the PVHO standard, both in the construction of the PVHO & safety systems necessary for safe operations, and this loss may be the result. He would not have been allowed to legally operate the submersible with passengers in the USA. https://newrepublic.com/post/173802/missing-titanic-sub-faced-lawsuit-depths-safely-travel-oceangate?fbclid=IwAR2OAGxvkqRVGrU98SWL0TnfOZH4_BjweS8ssmE4kQ_odq0PWB5csUkmM3c

I predicted an event like this over a dozen years ago as I warned the industry that the only thing protecting them from harsh government over regulaton was/is their excellent safety record.

This was/is a passenger vessel operation that would have been illegal in the USA, yet the US Coast Guard is responding as if it was one of their own.

The US Coast Guard is not, and should not, be held accountable for the loss of the submarine. USA passenger vessel submarine operators are not, and should not, be held accountable for the loss of the submarine.

US Coast Guard certified passenger vessel submarines, that meet ASME PVHO standards, have been safely operating in the USA for over two decades.

WILL OBAMA ‘PICK’ OUR NEXT PRESIDENT?

March 22, 2016

banner_lifeandliberty2

Greetings to all friends, visitors, subscribers and hello to all ships at sea 🙂

From time to time odd thoughts cross my mind and I find myself dwelling in conspiracy theory.  The problem with most conspiracy theories is that the facts, or basis, of theory are seldom facts, or based on sound principles.  In other words, most of them are bunk.

In that regard, when I first became concerned with this thought I decided to do a little background, check the possibilities and make sure that I was developing a theory based on principles, reality and this misnomer of them all, dirty politics.  Politics, the dirty diaper that makes all things possible.  That being said, here we go 🙂

sbr032216dAPR20160321115342

Could President Obama simply choose our next president?  Yes, he absolutely could.  The only wild card being that, Hillary must win the election.

We have heard the President, the head of the department of in-justice and Hillary herself say that Hillary will not be indited in regards to the email scandal.  Well, the DOJ did not come right out and say it, she merely heavily hinted that it was not likely to happen.  After all, she is an attorney.  Cannot expect a straight answer from an attorney without making a cash deposit 🙂

Meanwhile, I have it on good intelligence that the FBI is conducting a full investigation into Hillary’s email scandal. They have seized multiple records and evidence from several sources.  We are given every reason to believe that the FBI will recommend charges against Hillary and her top aides.   Most likely she will be charged for violation of the espionage act, not to mention, pay for play, for giving favorable consideration, by the Dept of State, to those that made donations to the Clinton Foundation.

Will the Department of justice indite Hillary?  The answer is no.  President Obama will not let them.  Just like Lois Lerner, that famous IRS criminal, the Department of in-injustice will simply claim prosecutor’s discretion and not indite.  At least not right away.  Not until the election is over.  Here is why?

Obama has made, or will make, a deal with Hillary.  If she will allow Obama to pick her VP running mate, he will assure her that the FBI charges will never see the light of day and that he, himself, will vigorously campaign for, using all his available assets.

Hillary, taking into account that, once she is in office, the Department of in-justice will be forced to do her bidding, and that she can then protect herself,  has already, or will soon, agree.

With Obama’s support and assets, her support and assets, and the drive by media backing her up, Hillary will start the election with somewhere near 47% of the vote.  She need only convince 4% to 6% of the lower information voters that her opponent, whomever, is pure evil and she will win the election.  Finally breaking that final glass ceiling (although we have never actually seen a glass ceiling, people seem to believe it is there somewhere).

mrz032116dAPR20160321044613

Then, just after the election, well, let’s guess December 7th, another day of infamy, the Department of Injustice hands down an indite against Hillary for violation of the espionage act.  Boom.

The president, wanting to distance himself, elects to hand the indite over to a special prosecutor outside the authority of the dept of in-justice. The dept of in-justice then hands over all documents and evidence to the special prosecutor.  By doing so, Hillary loses all access to the evidence and cannot stop the process once she is ordained into office.

After the coronation, once Hillary makes history as the first female President of the United States, out comes the special prosecutor with all the evidence and charges on public display. Eventually, and it may take six months, Hillary will be forced to resign in order to defend herself.

Then whomever Obama picks as Hillary’s running mate will be the President of the United States.

But, and here is the final rub, Hillary will not face prosecution.  Whomever Obama picks to be the next president will, having made a deal with Obama, benevolently offer Hillary a full pardon due to her declining health, or some other issue, while referring her years of sacrifice in service to the public, her value as role model, etc.. .  He will simply say, in the best interest of the public and America’s image, let’s just sweep this under the rug.  And the public will agree.

Obama can pick the next president.  All it takes is politics and he has loads of that 🙂

So there it is friends.  My conspiracy theory of the moment.  Hope you have a really great day 🙂
