What about the liability for killing 6 people? Would 43 million even cover that?! They should be liable for compensating the family and the rebuilding of the bridge.

If you truly believe in paybacks, then I would have to ask you what you think about white Europeans giving land back and hundreds of billions back from stolen resources and more money for over 100 years of Indian Boarding Schools were america army and the catholics stoled EVERY ORIGINAL PEOPLES CHILD and FORCED them to be beating, hair cut, made to believe in Christianity, made to speak English, and tens of thousands of children were raped and/or killed. America is stolen land by white European colonizers who created a holocaust, genocide, concentration camps, starvation tactics, biological warfare (small pox, and other diseases on blankets) What about there were more years in america where slavery / wage slavery is legal. It is still happening today slaves. Just not so much chattel unless you are talking about the private prison system, which got chattel slaves doing labor.

@parkerholden7140 12 дней назад

Probable cause, based on information available at this time is load share problems between parallel generators. This can be caused by operator error, design error or a defective component. Sailing with a malfunctioning system is very poor judgement. The NTSB investigation will likely add detail to the power failure problem. It can be quite complicated.

@verysimlpesimon 12 дней назад

43 million cap? they must be insane. clean up alone will cost more than that. let alone negligence causing 6 peoples deaths...not to mention couple billion or so to rebuild that bridge..plus all the months or years of loss wages and income from the city damages..noway is 43 million going to cover all that

@longrange9131 12 дней назад

It makes sense for the city to start pointing fingers when it was the ports diesel fuel that had been diluted with water. We need a thorough investigation.

According to NTSB, that wasn't the case. Fuel was tested Ok, however didn't hear anything as of yet to whether or not a "Steering Test" was completed before departure. That's a must on any Cargo carrying vessel.

@hughmac312 11 дней назад

I worked on ships as an engineer for over 30 years. All companies treated maintenance the same way, do as little as possible to save money. And the maintenance issue is an issue all companies seem to misunderstand. The Camp Fire in California and the recent huge fire in Texas are also examples. Cutting corners on maintenance is common because money people don't understand maintenance, because when it is done right you can't see what it saves.

LOL, is not the owner, is the CITY and PORT authorities who are 100% responsible. Ships losing power is quite an often occurence, and is known by authorities. (see recent new york case of a ship also losing power near their bridge but was luckily in another position). Adding the 1980 deadly crash, EACH AUTHORITY was MANDATORY to protect bridge pillars around the nations from ships hitting them. The "weak sauce" dolphins in this case bridge, shows it was done just to put a checkmark on some papers and not done to ensure actual safety, and all the people in power in the last 40 years that ignored doing it right are to blame for everything.
