Talk about your all-time strokes of luck to have a car filled with dead bodies go down in a bridge collapse.
That guy is an absolute treat. He posts explicitly from like 2am to 8am, and it's 99% Q and conspiracy theory stuff. I'm convinced he's just an elaborate troll, but i have no hard evidence yet!
I guess they surely would've already had a harbor pilot on board steering the ship but I guess there's not much to be done when it loses power.
Dark thoughts, but honestly surprised this type of thing hasn’t been a terror threat or target in the past. Cripples a city, loss of life, etc
he claims to be a civil engineer that only works nights. idk if that's a thing, but he's an absolute lunatic if real
I don’t know that a cracked window is going to make much of a difference in a 6 story freefall to the water below.
Of course that twitter account would describe Baltimote that way, he's an Elon Musk reply guy "Social Misery and Violent crime" I can't roll my eyes any harder
My b on sharing a shit user on Twitter. Was sharing mostly for the first part about the shipping issues it’ll cause. I’ll be better.
I'm sure the federal government and the Army Corps of Engineers will sit this one out and let the City of Baltimore struggle through it.
It's unavoidable at this point ur good, I just get immediate red flags when I see someone saying that shit on Twitter about a very very black city
As an alternative, use the TMB search function in the Tornados and Runaway Barges thread to find good advice.
All I know is if I’m driving and my transmission goes out, it’s probably a foreign nation or secret organization that disabled my automobile to destroy my freedoms.
I remember there was a stretch of interstate that burned up in the middle of Atlanta one time. There was something flammable under the bridge and like a 1/8 mile was just destroyed. They had that sumbitch back up running in a few weeks. The feds/state/city all paid for 24/7 workers and there was even a live stream of the progress. It was amazing how quickly they got it up because of the massive financial incentives the government provided the contractors to finish on time. That interstate was so pivotal for so much interstate commerce that they had no choice. I suspect (hope) a similar plan will be put in place. I have no fucking clue how long it normally takes to build a bridge of that same. Guessing 3-5 years. Hopefully the federal government can provide a large enough incentive for the local contractors to finish it at a much faster pace.
you play it up and accept those bills for the eventual lawsuit which will make it back and then some for you.
I wonder if any regulations will come out of this. Tug boats were required for tankers after the Valdez disaster for a while and still are in some ports.
Are you sure that wasn’t Birmingham? Same thing happened here on part of the old major “malfunction” junction and they put insane time sensitive incentives on the job and it was completed in something like half the time it would normally take
