Westside Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Unfortunately when you spend all our money fixing other countries infrastructure, we left ours to crumble. Biden is the one in charge now and this falls on his lap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biden is the one in charge now and this falls on his lap. To be clear I am no Biden supporter. But to try to spin this to blame him is laughable. You have no idea what condition the bridge was in not to mention the fact that workers were on the bridge as it was hit and are in the water! This is why no one listens to people like you or takes you serious. Personally I am here for the entrainment because I do not care about the draft and football is boring. You did not disappoint. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiGoose Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Looks like a cargo ship lost power and crashed into the bridge. I’m not an engineer but I don’t think bridges are built to withstand impacts like this. But I’m sure the usual crowd will spin this into a dumb conspiracy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that nobody should be jumping to conclusions at this point. But you're here for the entertainment because you're bored NOW? Man that's really saying something after all that fun you had being locked down during the pandemic. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Callahan Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 (edited) RIP and condolences. prayers for the emergency responders. the only positive is the fact it happened in the middle of the night. At least Berkshire Hathaway (owners of Mitsui and Co.) have deep pockets. Honest question. Can a Ship be hacked? Power killed? I would imagine these floating cities have triple redundant systems in place. Edited March 26 by Tommy Callahan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reports are that people saw lights flickering on and off, indicating the emergency generators were at least trying to kick on. It wasn’t a U.S. ship, I think it was en route to Sri Lanka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first time we have seen issues with these ships. at first, my mind went right to "evergreen" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like 30 minutes into a 27 day journey. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment the Port of Baltimore is closed. I expect until after an investigation is completed and the clasped sections of the bridge are removed from the channel.

I’m bored with the bills side of the message board. Don’t get carried away and spin this into something it’s not. For example, now I have to go do something and you won’t see me post here for a few hours unless I check the board on my phone. Have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every year there are dozens of those by the experts, and if they're lucky they'll hit on about 4 or 5 correct picks (predicted player to predicted team). So yeah, boring. So I also wind up here a lot more after the Bills season ends ... By the way: Nicely done by Gov Wes Moore.

B-Man Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 1. Prayers for all the victims and their families. 2. Sometimes a tragic accident is just that. 3. If you want to assign blame regarding the bridges condition, then don't just name Biden, but EVERY person in congress over the past few decades (all sides) With their fake infrastructure bills and their Trillion dollar budgets packed with nonsense. Wasting our money to buy votes. . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
