Francis Keys bridge hit by ship. Bridge collapses, mass casualty event.

[Dekster]

How fragile our modern infrastructure is.! It takes so little for enormous damage to be done.

Problem is the Fort McHenry tunnel is already overwhelmed so now it is going to be gridlock on 95 24/7 as it is the closest work around to the bridge

Terrorist event ( Ship outta Singapore ) , more events like this on deck for Summer of Love 2.0

Looks like it lost power for a few seconds and possibly lost control of the rudder.

Major bridge stuck by cargo ship and the bridge collapses…

The captain of the ship must have gotten hired under the trans quota.

 

[the watcher]

I don’t think this bridge was particularly fragile

I mean, most bridges will collapse if a cargo ship collides into them.

I think they meant how fragile the infrastructure is, not the bridge. This takes out the beltway around Baltimore and severely impacts the Port of Baltimore. It will be months to clear the debris and rebuild the bridge, almost impossible with the muddled regulations we have imposed on ourselves. The economic impact will be huge. I don't think many people are aware of how easy it is to disrupt power, communications, water, and the supply chain is already teetering. It just doesn't require much effort to interrupt service because things are engineered to provide normal service in a benign environment, which we aren't anymore. This should be a heads up, and as you should know by now it's like Rahm Emanuel (remember him from Obama?) says "
You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it's an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before."

Dont hold your breath waiting for the incompetent lib drones in the news media to get off their ass and do their job

Dumbass comment.

Apparently they are searching for 20 people, imagine if this was rush hour.

Dumbass comment.

Most “journalists” will sit at their computer and do cut ‘n pastes all day

We will get very little actual news from the libs in the media

No, it is sadly an accurate one these days.

“There were likely multiple people on the bridge at the time” of the Key Bridge’s collapse, he said in a news conference, “and as a result, multiple people in the water.”

“We believe we may be looking for upwards of seven individuals” in the water, he said, while stressing that the number is an estimate.

Watching this makes me want to sing the Star Spangled Banner.

It was not immediately clear how the bridge collapse would affect access to the Port of Baltimore, one of the nation’s largest shipping hubs and a driver of the region’s economy.

The port annually generates nearly $3.3 billion in total personal income, $2.6 billion in business income and more than $395 million in taxes, according to a Maryland state website. It handled 52.3 million tons of international cargo last year, which was valued at $80.8 billion.

Caught fire and sank immediately? Doesn't sound like an accident. But, since it sank immediately, forensics will be very difficult.

After sunup, we'll see who claims credit.

They've already ruled out terrorism.

This is why we need Biden's Build Back Better plan, however the Russia-first Republicans are obstructing.

We need to vote all their asses out!

Take your meds, Biden Loon

Based on what?

What's funny is stupid negros like him actually believe that shit.

 

[airplanemechanic]

Um the fact that it wasn't terrorism? It's not hard to rule it out.

The same ship ran into the Port of Antwerp.
