Mr Teatime posted:Harbour pilots don’t literally drive the ship it’s still done by the regular crew. Ships do have multiple main power generators and it’s standard practise during manoeuvring to keep multiple on the board in order to avoid blackouts due to one making GBS threads the bed. Your power management system can poo poo the bed anyway and black you out despite this but ships have emergency back up power in the form of battery supply for minor systems and an emergency generator which will come online on a dead switchboard, this takes about a minute and only powers a select amount of emergency systems including one of the 4 steering gear motors. you would think there would be a more robust backup system for a 200m dollar floating apartment complex but then sex arses would cost an extra 10 cents

Cable Guy posted:NTSB has released their drone inspection footage. it seems like a bad design that the entire bridge ripped off the pilings, instead of the impacted section

this is an immensely ignorant question, but does the type of bridge affect the time it would take to rebuild? could they build a suspension bridge so this doesn't happen again without construction taking more time than replacing the truss bridge?

A Wizard of Goatse posted:no infrastructure of any meaningful size has been built or maintained in the area for the better part of a century so the idea it can be done at all is purely speculative tbh On that note, is there any reason to rebuild the bridge at all? IIRC there's other hazmat corridors available that they're adding lanes to?

GABA ghoul posted:We do joke about this a lot, but it's kinda true that if that bridge had a gun, none of this would have happened. If the pillars had a defense mechanism like a tomahawk launcher with tactical nukes in the 1-2 kiloton range that ship would have been vaporized before it could do any damage. Make of that what you will What if they built a bunch of wind turbines, and then reversed them to blow the ship back on course

The boat was setting on a 27 day voyage, and it hit the bridge 7 days ago? they're fine
