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

Appears like the goods were heading the other way.

That cargo ship seems to be exporting, not importing.

It doesn't matter, it looks loke some or all of the Port of Baltimore is going to be closed for a long time.

Catastrophic events such as this show why the Federal Transportation Dept is so important.
They were on the scene almost immediately

States and Cities can’t handle a major collapse like this

It helps that you can practically throw a rock from Baltimore to DC.

FBI Director Chris Wray said that China was planning ways to disrupt our infrastructure.

That tells me that the CIA is involved.

They will probably want to demo really quick to get the port back opened. Checking the map I also see a Coast Guard yard there, so any ships in the yard are stuck, and any ships that need to get to the yard are out of luck.

Not sure if the navy has any berths or bases inside the harbor within the area blocked by the bridge collapse.

No Navy there.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Reports are the ship sank (as so far it could sink there) so everything involved with all that will have to be attended to. Talk about a huge shit sandwich!

I seriously doubt that ship sank. The bridge fell on top of the ship.

Come on down to Virginia, We gots oceans and roads and trains and such.

Actually, population centers built around major ports

Chicken or egg. Cities are built around transportation centers.

Do carriers have bowling alleys or basketball gyms.

No. Why do you ask?

 

[AZrailwhale]

Seems to me, power outage or not, a ship that size should in no way have a trajectory that close to a bridge without having already assured sufficient clearance.
More likely Baltimore is still the shithole trump described it as.

If you watch the video, you can see the ship veer off course towards the bridge piling. Ships today tend to be drive by wire, a power failure would knock out steering control

 

[tyroneweaver]

No. Why do you ask?

I was in the army our bases had bowling alleys and basketball courts.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Something not right about this....There are redundant backups on a ship of that size.

Such as?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

I was in the army our bases had bowling alleys and basketball courts.

Bases don't usually move.

 

[Puma Punku]

This sure does look like an attack to me.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

If you watch the video, you can see the ship veer off course towards the bridge piling. Ships today tend to be drive by wire, a power failure would knock out steering control

But if you’re already aimed in the right direction, a power failure would be moot. You’d coast ahead in the same direction.

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

..or the Cons. All is spin with the partisans.
The real news is being reported..and is there for the skilled reader to find. It will take 12 hours before the picture is clear.
We're so impatient now..and easily manipulated because of it~

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

If there were issues the Rig should have egressed and dropped anchor

Rig? Egressed? WTF does that have to do with the topic?

 

[AZrailwhale]

Biden announces the federal government will pay for the bridge.



So, why? Why is the federal government paying for the bridge?

Is it so they can look like heroes in the hopes of votes?

Is it so Biden can talk about jobs he created?

Is it because they are the ones who destroyed it?

Their friends want the contracts and sweet sweet federal funding dollars?

If it's an interstate highway, it should be the fed's responsibility. The costs should be recovered from the insurance company, but waiting for the process could delay clearance and replacement for months if not years.

 

[mudwhistle]

I seriously doubt that ship sank. The bridge fell on top of the ship.

It ran aground and the bridge collapsed on top of the bow.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

If the Ship has issues it should have egressed ( And taken up Safe Station and dropped all its anchors )

Tell me you know nothing about ships and inertia without saying it.

If it's an interstate highway, it should be the fed's responsibility. The costs should be recovered from the insurance company, but waiting for the process could delay clearance and replacement for months if not years.

Yep...of course.

And they said there was no indication of terrorism.....even before they had time to investigate the accident.
