It is owned by a company with headquarters in Singapore.
Singapore is not red China.

Singapore is an independent western nation. It is a parliamentary republic. Its a former colony of Great Britain and the main language is English.
It has a GDP per capita higher than almost any other nation in the world and a AAA credit rating which is better than the USA.
Their government is elected democratically and is the center of most trade in Asia.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with Communist China.
Better look it up. So they can afford to pay for the new bridge and lost money and production from the closed harbor. Nice to hear

I find it interesting that the pillar that the ship hit was the last place to collapse. The bridge was just opened in 1977 so it wasn't an old bridge as far as bridges go.
Life ain't supposed to be easy.

Uh, Singapore is a city state on an island off Malaysia, NOT red China....and of course it had a crew.... Indian crew. Ships are owned by one company, operated by another, crewed by another, hauling for another, usually 6 or 7 involved. There's enough real conspiracies out there, no need to make everything one! ( but thats just what I would say, if I was in on this conspiracy....)

Most of these ships are flagged in Singapore and other low cost to operate countries, no matter the actual ownership, or who's leasing them, they all have multinational crews. These ships are huge, heavy and the momentum is tremendous, you can't stop them on a dime. They all have a single engine, which is fine if it's working, the generators are for lights and other ships power but are not enough to restart the main engine. The hard turn was most likely the anchor grabbing plus the forces on the rudder from the tide and momentum. The ship was under the command of the American harbor pilot and his assistant, not some would be terrorist. Sometimes an accident is just that, not a international conspiracy...

Singapore doesn't own the ship. It is owned by a private company. The insurance company has already said they think it will cost them 4 billion in damages. If a plane built in Seattle by Boeing crashed into the French capitol building......should the US pay for that just because the plane was built here ?

It's owned in singerpore not a main city but still red China. It had no crew! I guess it was CC it had 26 aboard and the Dains charter it. You a retired coal miner?
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo
You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.
