Has anyone asked how the police were able to stop traffic on both sides with three minutes warning as reported. Were they already set up directing traffic because of repairs. Usually that type of direction is done by road crews. It’s an odd detail. Maybe I heard wrong.

I'm a 32 year cyber security pro, Intel agency before that. I think it was a cyber attack. Specifically GPS Spoofing that essentially hijacked their nav system. We need to know at what point the pilots and captain knew their nav system was screwed up giving them false readings. We only saw lights go off and on and back off and back on. We don't know the actual extent of power loss on that ship. I am wondering if lights going off and on so close to the bridge was the crews last ditch, desparate attempt to regain control. Sometimes a hard shutdown by pulling the plug works to thwart a cyber attack. Plugging back in and booting back up sometimes brings your system back. Sometimes it doesn't. Some cyber attacks have persistence.

GPS spoofing is a well known attack against a dangerous vulnerability in navigation systems using GPS, both maritime vessels and aircraft. No identification, no password, no authentication. Anyone can get on their frequency and send them fake GPS. Putin is known to use GPS spoofing to misdirect drones flying into Russia from Ukraine. A few years ago hackers at DefCon demo'd hacking ADS-B GPS navigation system used by aircraft. You literally can take over a plane. Since 9/11 maritime vessels have been required to install and use GPS based systems for ship identification, tracking and navigation. In the US the systems are called AIS and NCDIS.

GPS Spoofing is a very easy attack method to do, doesn't require much skill or expensive equipment. You can do it with a $40 Noelec SDR dongle and some free software. It could have been anyone with an axe to grind against the US. That list is getting long.

And I enjoyed reading it.

Being an architect trained also by 9/11 destruction, I've started to connect the dots instead of patiently waiting for your article, I came up with two options: Russians' revenge for Moscow killings and a US false flag to distract us from the real ongoing, even more demonic work.

The fact that they immediately announced it wasn't an attack without an investigation, the fact the police were magically able to block off the bridge to minimize casualties, the fact they can't get any good footage/audio from the boat and the fact that the NTSB is on the scene to cover it up tells me something isn't right. Looks like the U.S. attacking itself as it loves to do.

It’s hard to believe ANY official story these days. COVID, 9/11 Sandy Hook, polyunsaturated fatty acids…
