Anybody up for a random meme dump?

If it was an attack -

Sending a message? Crippling shipping and transportation ultimately financial impacts?

I read something the other day where a guy claimed to be in cybersecurity who was talking about how hackers will demand say $10 million and then companies will pay a cybersecurity security company $11 million to remediate the problem.

Nothing is ever as it seems anymore. in watching the footage again there is obviously some level of explosion/fire on the ship. Will be interesting to see what they say that was.

It's a big port but my guess is they have the shipping lanes open pretty soon. Clearing the bridge spans should move pretty quickly. Rebuilding the bridge is another story however.
 
So.... it looks like the pilot crew for the ship was an experienced Baltimore based crew to get the ship out of the harbor. They tried drastic measures (dropping anchor etc.) to slow the ship.

Doomed cargo ship Dali was being piloted by a LOCAL crew who were trained to AVOID obstacles in the Baltimore port - as it emerges 100,000-ton vessel 'lost control and propulsion' moments before smashing into the bridge​

  • An initial report found that propulsion may have caused the catastrophe
  • The crew warned that they 'lost control' of the vessel shortly before the smash
  • The vessel was piloted by a specialist crew trained to avoid impacts
The cargo ship that smashed into the Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore overnight was piloted by a specialized crew trained to avoid obstacles at ports, it has been revealed.

The ship, a 948-foot-long DALI operated by Singaporean company Synergy Group, collided with the 1.2-mile bridge shortly after 1.26am as it left port.

Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld said on Tuesday morning it appears none of the 22 crewmembers were injured, as he revealed it was being steered by the specialist pilots.
