options for speculation:
Bridge/infrastructure being sabotaged for socioeconomic collapse?
or, ship/bridge simply indicative of NCSWIC Fall of Civilization?
or, distraction (intentional) from other more embarrasing "news" than just 'oopsy boopsy ship ran into bridge, so pay up billions/trillions for more oopsy boopsy in the future?
any one of those or combination is still a fucking mess. Let us pray.
