With the Francis Scott Key Bridge having a main span of 1,200 feet (366 meters) and was the third longest span of any continuous truss in the world, this report continues, it was the main connector to the Port of Baltimore that beat the St. Lawrence Seaway in the movement of American military goods in 1964.

This vital American strategic military bridge met the Singapore-flagged container ship MV Dali, whose registered owner is Grace Ocean Pte Ltd managed by Synergy Marine Group. The MV Dali was less than 30 minutes into its planned 27 day journey to Sri Lanka, but it suddenly became a guided missile, as news reports revealed: “The MV Dali approaches from the north-east but approximately four minutes and 20 seconds before impact all lights aboard the ship go out, a clear indication of a total onboard loss of power. One minute and ten seconds after this visual indication that all is not well onboard some lights are restored, and they continue to turn on and off to varying degrees until the collision... During these last minutes, the MV Dali turns sharply — particularly for a ship of its size — to starboard, putting it on course for the bridge support... From three minutes until impact until the strike a very large plume of thick, dark smoke appears to pour from the ship’s chimney, indicative of either the engine working very hard or a fire onboard. In the case of the crew being aware of the imminent disaster and attempting to prevent the collision, the volume of smoke would likely mean failed engines being restarted or — if already running after the total electrical failure — the engines being put under a high load to slow the ship down”.

As the MV Dali remains stuck under the debris of the strategic American military bridge it obliterated, its being turned into a guided missile follows multitudes of warning articles like “Container Ships Easy To Hack, Track, Send Off Course And Even Sink, Security Experts Say.”

As to what terrorist group caused this catastrophe remains unknown, the United States government obviously knew an attack was imminent, as evidenced by the news reported a month ago on 21 February: “President Joe Biden issued an executive order Wednesday assigning responsibility for cybersecurity at ports and other maritime facilities to the US Coast Guard, with the goal of making sure minimum security requirements are put in place as quickly as possible. The order also will allow the Coast Guard to conduct cyber safety inspections of facilities and ships, and even limit the movement of vessels suspected of posing a cyber threat to US ports.”
