This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t see anything that would indicate the tragedy in Baltimore was some sort of terror attack.
Strategically, what would it accomplish?
If they wanted to terrorize the US, they would have picked a different bridge, at a busier time.
The bridge going down also does not inhibit US Military capabilities or threaten our production in any significant way. It will be a substantial inconvenience for the port of Baltimore, but it doesn’t really move the needle from a global transportation or economic perspective.
If more bridges start to go down due to “accidents”, then we can start worrying, but this, as of now, appears to be a freak accident. Yes I saw the video of the lights going off, and those claiming the ship was hacked, but I don’t see the motive and I cannot identify who would stand to benefit from the situation.
If terror cells in the US are capable of hacking ships and destroying bridges, one would think they would have chosen a bigger and better target, with significant civilian presence.
Obviously, if more information that comes out shows differently I will correct, but I don’t see how this event is some grande conspiracy. Certainly something to keep an eye on, but I wouldn’t start worrying unless we start to see similar events with regularity.
