Baltimore Bridge Collapse

[Aper]

The technical term is 'fucking fucked'. Took out a main pillar.

I would opt for the term FUBAR at this point

Going to suck for the divers searching the wreckage for cars.

Doing recoveries is a damn hard job, I did many in Halifax over the years.

I have done it in rivers, sucks because of the lack of visibility and the constant current. Thankfully we trained in those conditions.

Water isn’t significantly deep though. Channel is 45’.

Apparently there's a secret train track that Bidens taken across the bridge.

Joe said the Federales will pay for it’s replacement

Longer term the insurers will be gone after for it, but getting that shopping channel open and that transportation route reopened will be national imperatives. It’s appropriate for the feds to take a leadership role in getting the ball rolling ASAP, although that will still take ages.

Saw this today - a pretty good take on things. I think.

It’s also noted that the two fastest replenishment ships in the USN are trapped in the harbor until the wreckage is cleared.

Oof. Not ideal.

Hear me out. Torpedoes.

Honestly given the depth - the removal of the wreckage shouldn’t be a big deal. It just needs to wait till all the bodies are recovered, and whatever investigation that needs to be done of the scene is complete.

I thought this was a parody account.

Biggest cause of the disaster is the whole reason they all go to Baltimore in the first place, lack of a requirement to use tugs.

Lower standards can create opportunities, they can also show why many places have higher standards.

To be fair...the guy is well past his prime & could be mixing up bridges & places. I imagine he's crossed over enough bridges over his years, I'm willing to chalk this one up to innocent mistake and getting things mixed up rather than his usual BS

It’s retroactive- pay up

That bridge is fucked is it not….

Spanning my gaze from side to side

"What's bridge?"

Two of the Supply class ships ? Those are a beautiful and useful ship... We should get a couple.

Weren’t we offered one a while back?
