    So nearly 9mph. I know zilch about shipping and the rules/precautions/regulations but that seems fast to me until you hit the open ocean... then give her the gas. It wasn't a day trip, it was supposedly a few weeks long journey so why so fast in the harbor.

    This area of the Patapsco River is wide open with an enormous amount of room between the main supports. It’s more Chesapeake Bay than river. It was a freak occurrence that had nothing to do with speed.

    Dammit, I missed that one.

    But thank you! Now I may seize the opportunity to say: "See, this is why editors are important, and we shouldn't treat tweeters as journalists!"

    Especially Greenwald now that he seems to tilt right! All that Snowden stuff really wasn’t journalism, even though he was reliable left in those days

    Can't believe the bridge just came down that completely. I really thought only a section would fall, but it just all came crashing down. Major reconstruction effort will be needed to get this super important bridge first removed, and then re-built.

    It’s something that needs to be rebuilt, but is not “super important” as you label it. It’s the least trafficked area of the beltway around Baltimore. There are tunnels at interstate 95 and 895 that can be used as well as the beltway around the other side of town.

    Just funny that arresting a wanted criminal at the border is somehow used as a negative about border security.  So it's a negative if they get through,  and also a negative if they get arrested?

    It’s mostly an example of awful journalism and an unwillingness of many to read past the headline. He wasn’t arrested “at” the border. He was arrested “along” the border and has been in the US for years.  It’s not a border story.
