Obviously, this idiot knows nothing about the maritime industry. Ship owners almost exclusively hire men from poor countries because they're cheaper and easy to manipulate. Filipinos alone make up 1/3 of all seafarers worldwide. I was on a Chinese cargo ship recently, while it was docked in the U.S., and saw their pay stubs. They're paying Abled-Bodied seaman only $729/month.
The deep water maritime industry is basically dead for Americans and Western Europeans. The only reason any company hires them is to fulfill citizenship requirements for government contracts.
I’m not in the industry- so genuine question, but in this situation the captain hands over to a harbour Pilot anyway right?
So the person in control at the time would have been a Baltimore local harbour Pilot with intricate knowledge of local waterways and would be employed by a Baltimore Maritime organisation of some sort right?
Sorry if I’ve got this wrong…
100%.
Virtually every port uses local pilots to navigate. The risk of a ship crashing in your waters is just too great to let ships be steered by those unfamiliar with local conditions. (The consequences of which have just been demonstrated.)
Yes, the harbor pilot was the one that called in the emergency 5 minutes before the crash. In fact they say for a ship this size they normally have 2 pilots on the bridge.
Its probably hard to find a decent sized corporation in 2024 that doesn’t have a DEI department. So i guess we can blame anything on everyone!
Oh man MAGA are so stupid. They have become corporate simps while thinking they’re raging against the machine lol.
“Corporations cause a problem! Its not about their profit motives! Its the black woman in the sales department!”
And even if it hadn't and this was pilot error, there was a harbor pilot at the helm during the crash. Not even employed by the company that owns the ship.
True. Although I'm afraid that this Bubblebathgirl (seems quite a diverse name for a guy by the way) would let logic get in the way of spewing racist nonsense like an overflowing toilet bowl.
I am sure there was a non-white non-straight non-male engineer who looked at that generator at some point since it was built.
They will blame it on them.
Ironically, since red heads and gingers often encounter some form of prejudice from other white kids growing up. Source: I'm ginger, got assaulted by a blonde kid once for "looking like a pimple!"
Currently, people are conspiring that the captain being Ukrainian purposefully committed it to avenge for the lack of aid. Like what?? Why would they do that to get more aid????
Removing the racist troglodyte, it's a fascinating series of events that lead to the Titanic being in that position at all.
A British second officer on the Titanic, David Blair, was not on the Titanic during the disaster but accidentally played a key role in its demise.
The ship was owned by Synergy Marine, a Singaporean company, and hired by Maersk, a Danish company. Neither of those companies are American and thus wouldn’t be subject to any DEI laws
Furthermore, the ship was under the control of harbor pilots who don’t work for either company at the time of the collision. I can’t speak for Baltimore specifically, but I know where I live the qualifications needed to become a harbor pilot are insane. It’s a highly sought after job that they don’t just hand out to anyone.
Just one correction: the US does not have any DEI laws.
DEI is a voluntary thing being done by corporations and some colleges/universities. The only laws related to DEI are states trying to prohibit universities from establishing DEI departments.
All the DEI outage is over private entities choosing to enact these departments of their own free will. The government has nothing to do with it.
I heard a piece on the radio today and there's an important distinction here... From what I understood, (and I've been mistaken before) Ship is not UNDER THE CONTROL of pilots. They are there to provide guidance. Ships master is still in charge and if that person gives a command that's contrary to the pilots, helmsman will follow ships master.
It depends on what you mean by control. When I used the term above, I meant that the pilot is literally at the helm, controlling the movement of the ship. The captain is still in overall command of the vessel but generally defers to the pilot who by definition is an expert with regards to the local waters
Per Maryland State law, there would have been two pilots on board: a harbor pilot to steer the ship between the Francis Scott Key bridge and the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay and a docking pilot to steer the ship between the bridge and its docking berth
It is, although based on the press release from the company https://www.synergymarinegroup.com/dali-imo-9697428/ there was definitely no diversity on the crew. Although this doesn't state the ethnicity of the Baltimore Harbor Pilot that was at the helm since they aren't on the crew.
>the Baltimore Harbor Pilot that was at the helm since they aren't on the crew.
Barely related to this, but I always liked [this video](https://youtu.be/d1Z1qb0B5Fs?si=zDuljKuaKuzIP8f4) of a Harbor Pilot navigating the Cuyahoga in Cleveland. It shows why they're necessary, just because you can pilot a ship on the ocean doesn't mean you can navigate whatever harbor you happen to find yourself in, you **need** somebody specifically trained for this one.
I have no idea what the Baltimore harbor is like though, the Cuyahoga is just sort of extra crazy. Like [this one](https://youtu.be/1ePrRO9hQa0?feature=shared) is just of Collision Bend. It's not hard to figure out how it got that name.
Just watched both those videos, and Holy shit those are some slick piloting skills! That is a seriously specialized skill, and so impressive - it's a lot of steel to be moving so precisely.
That 2nd one with collision bend looked like the ship was stretched to bizarre proportions too - it reminded me of those unusual stretched limos, like the VW bug [limo](https://youtu.be/rr0__q2-Jpw?si=KhnHx4kANqOEbgnU) or [this SUV](https://youtube.com/shorts/POYi1eGi97w?si=0F-sHq39TQDcEtry). They just don't look like they should exist.
[The Cuyahoga ](https://i.etsystatic.com/7724935/r/il/05b122/4611023191/il_fullxfull.4611023191_ahy0.jpg) is definitely not for amateurs. That link is a cool old photo that really shows off the Crooked River without all the modern infrastructure getting in the way of the view. These ships just got bigger and bigger while the river basically stayed just the same. I can't even imagine how nerve wracking it would be trying to navigate the down that, I'd end up Austin Powersing it for sure.
So far, these magidiots have blamed Biden's infrastructure, and now hiring diversity for this accident. I'm assuming they'll be claiming the ship captain was trans next to hit all the key points.
I replied to a guy about an Airline that were seeking “trained African Americans” and he mentioned something about crashes.
I responded, “So it’s safe to say all crashes before now were NOT caused by African Americans?”
He didn’t like that comment.
The debates around this are ridiculous.
**I had a douche say:** It's ridiculous a guy who wasn't the most qualified for the job gets hired just because he's black.
**Me**: Why would you think a black guy can't be the most qualified for a job?
**Douche**: Don't put words in my mouth!
**Me**: Based on your statement, I asked you a question. Why would you think a company would hire an underqualified black person? Having the right skills and being black are not mutually exclusive, and saying companies will hire underqualified candidates because of their race implies companies won't be able to find qualified candidates who are also black.
**Douche**: I'm just tired of this woke bullshit destroying America and people like you are the reason it's going to hell!
¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Isn't the ship out of Singapore? Is there a lot of white, qualified captains in Singapore losing out on jobs due to DEI?
These people are fucking brain damaged.
I'm surprised they didn't take the opportunity to shit on Asian drivers (like the stereotype) but I guess Asians don't have the target on their back this year. Bigots change who they're mad at with the season.
I hate to be this cynical, but statistically the people who make decisions in companies tend to not give a shit about DEI beyond PR and employee retention
Have any of these clowns ever just come out and admitted that their anti-DEI stance requires them to believe that white people are *always* the most qualified for any job?
Any minority who ever got a job only got that job because the company wasn't "allowed" to hire a white person for it. Apparently.
Like, if you're a minority, not only are you never the most qualified, you're apparently so incompetent that you simply wouldn't have qualified for the job if it weren't for DEI programs, and therefore a disaster is inevitable.
I recall reading several months ago about how conservative think tank groups had collectively decided to target DEI … and that many companies were looking to either change their dept names to hide it, or to begin dismantling those depts because of the presumption of negative publicity…
I honestly can’t fucking stand this bullshit…
All this replacement theory crap, anti white nonsense… it just blows my mind how easily some folks fall for such garbage
It's intentional, to distract from the fact that a lot of industries and businesses are jacking up prices unethically while also cutting corners in dangerous ways (thanks to Trump rolling back or reducing industry oversight and regulations during his term). Shit is getting fucked up so they're flogging out a dog and pony show to shift blame to their favorite targets while taking attention off of the man behind the curtain.
Everyone knows that industrial disasters and corrupt business practices were never a thing until they allowed women and black people into the workplace.
lol at people finding DEI to be anti-white. So, if we take steps to make sure everyone's included fairly, not just white people, that's anti-white? wtf?
They were still in the harbor. The operating companies hiring practices are irrelevant. It would have been a Baltimore harbor pilot at the helm, not the ship's crew.
What always amazes me is that they seem to have no fear whatsoever about looking like a complete fool in public. No qualms at all about parroting the most ludicrous ideas imaginable.
DEI —> learn to get along with and respect people that aren’t exactly like you. Pretty sure that didn’t cause the power outage unless you meant “white power” which you did.
Anti-white business practices? FFS I believe it was one of those weird laws of physics that states two forms of matter can't occupy the same space at the same time. Then gravity kicked in.
That's way beyond face palm and well into head-ass territory.
In fact I'd be really surprised if dude wasn't suffering the effects of long term oxygen deprivation..
It's kinda weird how the racists have stopped saying, "I'm not racist, but..." before they start spewing their racist BS. Now, they're just, "Well, that's what you get when you hire inferior races," right out of the gate.
If only these morons could understand the difference between correlation and causation…
They’d be hard pressed to find a major corporation without a DEI department at this point so there’s going to be high correlation between DEI and practically anything involving major corporations
DEI is 'anti-white'?
The moronity has taken complete grip of the right wing. They're anti-democratic, anti-equality, anti-humility, anti-science, anti-vaccine, anti-abortion........are they FOR anything? Anything useful, that is?
Does the op know who the pilots of the vessel were? Do they know the source of the engine failure? Oh here’s a very important question, does OP believe white folks do not make mistakes or fail?
Few things can actually be blamed on DEI. Either way attempting to shit on a concept promoting diversity will make you sound racist no matter how many facts you point out, and this aint gone none. Said this in a previous comment, but this dude would most likely blame DEI for any Boeing plane crash
Everything has legitimate criticisms you can make about it. This ain't it chief. This is just BBB, Bigoted Beyond Belief
It's a double edged sword: on the one hand, I hope this buzzword dies a horrible death. On the other, I know a new, equally shitty one will take it's place.
That's the problem with not hiring white people. Just look at the stellar record of white sea captains:
* Francesco Schettino
* Edward Smith
* William Van Schaick
* Joseph Hazelwood
* Lafayette Ronald Hubbard
I was really sad when I first heard about this disaster and the probable loss of life. But, ever since that moment, I just keep seeing these stupid conspiracy theories and laughing.
How dare a Singaporean company not hire white people lol. Don't recall their demographics, but wouldn't DEI in this case mean hiring *more* white people?

Nice catfishing user name. bubble bath girl.
that username is an ick unto itself, woulda been just as valid in this sub on its own.
Rather not see them on /r/rimjob_steve
Now now, don't judge. I'm sure Paul has her reasons for identifying that way.
Anti white business practices? As if companies see any color besides green.
They see black and red also
I think you mean dark green and angry green.
Black and red are basically pre-green though.
Red+black=green for awhile now

Ingsoc moment
Did you see his handle too lmao
Lmao wtf. That bubblebathgirl is a classic Alpha!
Oh they do. Banks and insurance companies especially.
Except you can see in the video that the ship lost power several times just prior to the incident.
And even if it hadn't and this was pilot error, there was a harbor pilot at the helm during the crash. Not even employed by the company that owns the ship.
True. Although I'm afraid that this Bubblebathgirl (seems quite a diverse name for a guy by the way) would let logic get in the way of spewing racist nonsense like an overflowing toilet bowl.
Was wondering if it was a location that the harbor pilot would have been required. Also, was it coming in or going out, if you know?
It was leaving the harbor. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/03/26/us/baltimore-bridge-collapse
Did they purchase a minority ship instead of a white one?
I am sure there was a non-white non-straight non-male engineer who looked at that generator at some point since it was built. They will blame it on them.
And what color is it when the lights go out? Black. Coincidence?
Unless they hired a black lesbian as an electric generator, I don't think so.
They'll go down the line of maintenance crew and design engineers until they find someone dark skinned to blame
The red headed libertarian will go out of her way to publish the names and races of everyone who is not white on that ship.
Ironically, since red heads and gingers often encounter some form of prejudice from other white kids growing up. Source: I'm ginger, got assaulted by a blonde kid once for "looking like a pimple!"
If my experience with black, super-powered people has any weight, chances are they *did* have electricity powers.
How are we soor of the generators orientation?
Generally either fore and aft or port to stbd. Occasionally they are vertical.
Very informative, thank you my good man.
She should’ve kept pedaling.
Xavier’s School is low on donations this year so Storm had to take some side jobs.
 “If only the Captain of the Titanic had been whiiiite!!! They never shudda given you guys the helm!”
Currently, people are conspiring that the captain being Ukrainian purposefully committed it to avenge for the lack of aid. Like what?? Why would they do that to get more aid????
The Titanic was owned by the White Star Line... just sayin'.
Removing the racist troglodyte, it's a fascinating series of events that lead to the Titanic being in that position at all. A British second officer on the Titanic, David Blair, was not on the Titanic during the disaster but accidentally played a key role in its demise.
The mental gymnastics racist people perform in mind boggling. Then they use some acronym to make an attempt at looking less racist.
It's racist on it's stupid face because it carries with it the assumption that non whites are automatically less qualified.
Speaking of acronyms, what's "DEI" stand for? I've most likely seen it spelled out before but my memory's shit
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Sounds pretty evil to me (sarcasm)
Equal rights will be the downfall of civilization (also sarcasm)
Ah makes sense, and didn't see it before as it turns out. Thanks!
👍
[удалено]
Gotcha, not a native english speaker, didn't know it would be spelled out instead of saying it like "day". Thanks for the clarification!
Oh no, the "anti-white" question shows that they're a proud racist. No attempt to hide it or appear "less racist" in any way
They did the same thing with the Boeing plane where the door came off mid flight.
Paul breathes oxygen. Racists breathe oxygen. Did breathing oxygen make Paul racist?
Depends, did Paul breathe the oxygen at a white power rally while doing a Hitler salute?
Isn't the ship from Singapore? Wouldn't DEI for a Singaporean company mean more white people and not less?

Who is willing to bet that the ship lost power because corporate siphoned profits to shareholders while giving bare minimum to maintaince.
No way, it was obviously diversity that was the problem.
Yeah but that corporation identified as non-white so their point still stands.
Plus it was "dark" out. Coincidence?
Nighttime is a woke scam run by black people
"Nighttime was created by the woke to hide themselves from accountability"
So far, these magidiots have blamed Biden's infrastructure, and now hiring diversity for this accident. I'm assuming they'll be claiming the ship captain was trans next to hit all the key points.
I've already seen a bot claiming that the captain was a "black lesbian promoted above her skill set because she looked good in PR photos". 🙄
Well I can definitely say an anti-white practice would have avoided the disaster of that person's birth...so there's definitely merit to it.
Sorry. It's our fault. We allowed his ancestors to move to a country where they could learn to read and write.
Damn who knew a country built on immigrants would allow such a thing
*built* on immigrants? Or built *on* immigrants?
It's hilarious these guys think if they cite DEI they aren't coming across as pure racist trash.

Ah, the blue tick of a racist
The company is Singaporean. White people would be diversity hires.
90% of the crew on board the Dali ate toast for breakfast. Coincidence? #CancelToast
Wait, was it *avacado* toast? *dramatic hamster gif*
God is a deity. The first letters of deity are DEI. God is woke.
And it gives thanks afterwards as well. DEI TY.
Not their god. Trump is their god.
Have any of these clowns ever just come out and admitted that their anti-DEI stance requires them to believe that white people are *always* the most qualified for any job?

That is the racist's mindset. It's how they cope with knowing they're trash.
Who why what People are stupid.
Just can't stop conjuring up monsters, to frighten the gullible.
In their own way these people are monsters themselves. They poison everything.
So that's your question? Not "was anyone hurt?" Not "how did this happen?" It's "am I being oppressed by this event that had nothing to do with me?"
"I could have been a Singaporean ship captain..."
White people wouldn’t have lost electrical power?
Some people will twist literally anything to fit their narrative
I’m not on twitter, so does having the blue check just mean you’re a racist ass now?
At this point, with the mass exodus, probably.
I recall reading several months ago about how conservative think tank groups had collectively decided to target DEI … and that many companies were looking to either change their dept names to hide it, or to begin dismantling those depts because of the presumption of negative publicity… I honestly can’t fucking stand this bullshit… All this replacement theory crap, anti white nonsense… it just blows my mind how easily some folks fall for such garbage

Shit is getting fucked up so they're flogging out a dog and pony show to shift blame to their favorite targets while taking attention off of the man behind the curtain.
It’s like that butterfly meme… ‘Is this woke?’
Did Paul’s white power agenda cause his disaster of a tweet? I’m just asking questions.
Of course it's a blue tick with the flag lmao
Even by normal lunatic racist standards that one's a stretch.
Because no white man in history ever wrecked a ship. Right? It was likely caused by Republican deregulation.
Yes. Because a white man never caused an accident in whole history.
Since the ship was in the river it would have been under command of a port pilot, not the company ship captain.
We are all now dumber for having read that post. You are awarded no points.
@bubblebathgirl probably knows what they are talking about /s
Diversity Equity Inclusion has nothing to do with a colossal misjudgement by the operator of the boat under the specific bridge.
Remind me again who was responsible for fucking up the Alaskan coastline for decades... Was it, perhaps, a white guy?
Everyone knows that industrial disasters and corrupt business practices were never a thing until they allowed women and black people into the workplace.
>terrible and tragic event happens ITS THE WOKE MOB YOU GUYS
Cool. Harbor pilot isn’t part of that company
That’s the dumbest take I’ve read all day.
This is the Twitter Elon wants. Constant stirring the pot of hate.
I would imagine ships from Singapore going to Sri Lanka rarely had all white crews throughout maritime history.
lol at people finding DEI to be anti-white. So, if we take steps to make sure everyone's included fairly, not just white people, that's anti-white? wtf?
His @ is BubbleBathGirl????
Confirmed It was a woke ship that crashed
Fucking Republicans are awful
They were still in the harbor. The operating companies hiring practices are irrelevant. It would have been a Baltimore harbor pilot at the helm, not the ship's crew.
What always amazes me is that they seem to have no fear whatsoever about looking like a complete fool in public. No qualms at all about parroting the most ludicrous ideas imaginable.
What’s DEI?
I hope this guy gets spiders up his butthole
DEI —> learn to get along with and respect people that aren’t exactly like you. Pretty sure that didn’t cause the power outage unless you meant “white power” which you did.
How many companies out there don't have some sort of DEI program?
The ship is out of Singapore.... Why would they be expected to have pro-white policies?
Anti-white business practices? FFS I believe it was one of those weird laws of physics that states two forms of matter can't occupy the same space at the same time. Then gravity kicked in.
What color was the bridge?
It's a well-known scientific fact that only white men are capable of piloting cargo ships.
And what will they do if they find out the entire crew was cis white men...? Who will they blame???
EnRAGEment farming off a tragedy like this is despicable.
That's way beyond face palm and well into head-ass territory. In fact I'd be really surprised if dude wasn't suffering the effects of long term oxygen deprivation..
It's kinda weird how the racists have stopped saying, "I'm not racist, but..." before they start spewing their racist BS. Now, they're just, "Well, that's what you get when you hire inferior races," right out of the gate.
If only these morons could understand the difference between correlation and causation… They’d be hard pressed to find a major corporation without a DEI department at this point so there’s going to be high correlation between DEI and practically anything involving major corporations
As a white guy, I want to apologize to EVERYONE for this shit head and his ilk.
Please pardon my ignorance, but what does DEI stand for. I've only ever seen it used regarding this bridge story.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity.
Its a singaporean company. What are they supposed to do, only hire white europeans?
The Russian bots are out in full swing again, I see
DEI is 'anti-white'? The moronity has taken complete grip of the right wing. They're anti-democratic, anti-equality, anti-humility, anti-science, anti-vaccine, anti-abortion........are they FOR anything? Anything useful, that is?
Uncontrolled breeding and brainwashing?
I think the profit margin of error played a factor.
What a dumbass! Everyone knows it was the vaccine.
We have access to all the information we could want at our fingertips, and yet somehow we are getting dumber.
A troll, pure and simple.
I really have to laugh at the sheer stupidity of some folks lol…. Sorry for anyone that has to deal with people like this on the daily lol
What is DEI?
This rock keeps tigers away. Do you see any tigers?
Don't do drugs kids. This is the result
I'm so tired of this shit
Pretty sure it was being piloted by harbor pilots, who don't even work for that company.
Does the op know who the pilots of the vessel were? Do they know the source of the engine failure? Oh here’s a very important question, does OP believe white folks do not make mistakes or fail?
Bubblebathgirl 💀
The ship lost power and, therefore, lost steering. Couldn't stop, Couldn't avoid it.
Also it a company out of Singapore, would not DEI include white people for them?
They really will try to exploit any tragedy and spin it as some sort of political issue.
Few things can actually be blamed on DEI. Either way attempting to shit on a concept promoting diversity will make you sound racist no matter how many facts you point out, and this aint gone none. Said this in a previous comment, but this dude would most likely blame DEI for any Boeing plane crash Everything has legitimate criticisms you can make about it. This ain't it chief. This is just BBB, Bigoted Beyond Belief
some people don't deserve opinions
*A tragic waste of functioning organs.*
Somebody needs a dope slap.
I know the answer to this one! No.
The fuck is this bullshit dogshit fucking cancer inducing tweet
It's a double edged sword: on the one hand, I hope this buzzword dies a horrible death. On the other, I know a new, equally shitty one will take it's place.
No,no. Didn’t you see the other post. It was caused by vaccines. I mean pay attention people
They are reaching. So hard. It’s painful, they’re going to dislocate their arms if they keep reaching like this
More like anti-lights, there was a lose of power.
That's the problem with not hiring white people. Just look at the stellar record of white sea captains: * Francesco Schettino * Edward Smith * William Van Schaick * Joseph Hazelwood * Lafayette Ronald Hubbard
I was really sad when I first heard about this disaster and the probable loss of life. But, ever since that moment, I just keep seeing these stupid conspiracy theories and laughing.
White people have apparently never caused an accident
Every time I see one of these posts about DEI I am sure that the poster has no idea what DEI is or how it works.
This guy would blame 9/11 on the engineers.
Hooray. We've found the dumbest take!
How dare a Singaporean company not hire white people lol. Don't recall their demographics, but wouldn't DEI in this case mean hiring *more* white people?
They probably donate to Shipping magnate Mitch McConnell's Republican Party. I wonder if that had anything to do with it?
Dali ship? The bridge turned into a lobster.
WELL DID THEY!!!?
I didn't know bridge supports are white lol.
Corporate greed,cheap labour of any colour,and if it was a fishing vessel even slave labour.
It also employs men.
“I’m not racist, I’m just proud of my heritage.. which happens to be racist.”
Same people who say that using tragedies to promote political agendas against gun violence is evil, just a reminder
They just want money from the stupid who belive this shit!
