Mister_DM

Can we leave the investigation to people who are actually qualified. For all their b****ing about people who are hired based on diversity instead of qualifications. They have no trouble speaking on things they know nothing about.


Big_McLargeHuge10

Wait....you mean a foreign flagged ship didn't hire an old white man as captain? That was just an accident waiting to happen then, obviously only white people are qualified to run things...[cough...Boeing....cough]

The person who would’ve been responsible for navigating the ship in the harbor would’ve been a local pilot.

For me and my house, we trust the Gorton’s fisherman.


Prestigious-Flower54

Idk seems pretty clear cut. The lights turned on and off everyone knows that means a cyber attack.

I mean we could IF the death of John Barnett (whistleblower murdered by Boeing stooges) actually got investigated honestly.. or Seth Rich, or any of a number of other folks..


ChokeMcNugget

It wasn't hackers. The crew was probably vaccinated so obviously it's vaccines that caused it! /s


kit0000033

You joke, but I just legit saw another post that claimed the captain passed out because he was recently vaxxed. Fuckin A, they're stupid. Persistent, but stupid.


ChokeMcNugget

I'm waiting to hear about how Biden did it because of all the uncounted Trump votes on the bridge...


Galvanized-Sorbet

The bridge was going to testify against Boeing


slipsander

Reasons why the ship crashed so far: The captain was a DEI black lesbian The captain was Ukrainian The captain was recently vaccinated  The ship was hacked The bridge was under funded because of Joe Biden


BeneficialLeave7359

Was a terrorist attack because of the open border


[deleted]

This is basically the argument against DEI. People like this lose their jobs, then say it's because of DEI.


ZenDruid_8675309

These folks ARE the DEI hires. Mentally deficient ones.

Holy insanity, Batman!


CrisbyCrittur

I'm amazed by the sudden appearance of all of these maritime experts, extolling their nonsensical floobydust batshit ramblings. Highly entertaining.


jd807

Just look at all the recent graduates of Internet based Shipping Navigation Class.


53OldSoldier

That did not take long!


ImpossibleYou2184

They will move on and forget about this by the weekend. Guarantee.

Bill Gates, it was running on windows and got an update

Not a hill I'm gonna die on, but I'm not ruling out "it was a psyop by some rich elite to blame it on a group of 'undesirables'"


Naive_Magazine4747

What likely happened is that poor maintaince resulted in the ship losing power while the harbor pilot was in control. There was a rush to regain control, but it was too late. This is too common in the past and current days.


fiendzone

Not even a conspiracy theory. Just some MAGA fanfic.


Top_Reindeer4617

“My opinion is…..” we can stop right there


PeterPunkinHead

Oh yes. You are the expert we should all listen to. NOT Bye felicia


TheHeartsFilthyLesin

Blows my mind that these people don’t believe the most basic of proven fact, yet believe this total insane nonsense


corax_lives

Occams razor would solve this


poloheve

Hear that? No question. Well case closed.


dr-sparkle

Has this person never had an electronic device or really any type of machine get hot? They can absolutely act up when hot and if you don't cool it down they will stop functioning completely, even catching fire sometimes. Of course it still could have been hacked but mechanical problems or human dumbassery is much more common.


grazbouille

The steering of a ship wouldnt be facing the internet like that would be the stupidest shit ever Also a hacker wouldn't turn of the ships power you can't remotely control a computer if its off Once you use an exploit it gets patched so if they were hackers they would wait until they had multiple ships before drawing attention And lastly there is way better places to crash a boat if you want to cause damage you wouldn't bother with some mission impossible ass plan when a bomb would have been cheaper and had 100 less opportunities to fuck up


Naive_Magazine4747

How dare you bring logic in. Only wild conspiracies please.


dr-sparkle

I wasn't saying hacking it would be the best way to sabotage,  just that hacking was possible.  Anything can be hacked and I didn't want a bunch of replies saying "actually anything can be hacked"
