Mexican Navy ship crashes into Brooklyn Bridge

[SCBills]

I didn’t really care much about the whole Gulf of Mexico / Gulf of America thing, but it’s Gulf of America now.

Racist bridge. Clearly

Check out the cross pieces of the mastiff at about the 35 second mark:

I don’t get this at all. Why was the Mexican navy in New York at all? More importantly, why is the Mexican Navy sailing what looks like a ship from the 1800s? What Navy do they think they are winning against with that thing.

They are just sleepy and needed a siesta senor...

Well, that  ship was definitely NOT a low rider.

[Doc]

Apparently 2 people died from this.  😢

[Wacka]

I did't hear anything about that until your post.☹️

Someone didn't do their job.  Should have known all the clearances  along their route. 

When they were bringing two massive cargo cranes to the Port of Oakland, they had to time it with a hour to fit under the Bay Bridge. The ship had to sit for almost a day on one side of the bridge, wait for low tide and had about an hour to traverse under the bridge. There was someone on the top of the crane to check and the clearance was so close that he could touch one of the girders as it passed through.

They went a long way to get around the wall.

And Chuckie "Schmucky"Shumer  infers that Trump firing the head of the Coast Guard  had something to do with it.

Silly "military" spending of the sort the USA does too. A replica tall ship that goes on goodwill missions around the world to publicize the glorious Mexican Navy. See the hundreds of U.S. military bands.

I don't think there are "hundreds."

If you count all 4 branches there may be close to 200 (Army has 88).

 

And that's just for the "official" bands. That does include things like the US Army Soldier Show, which is official, but a little less organized (they are compromised of regular, non-music MOS soldiers and are generally organized at the installation level). Still serves part of the same mission though, so I'd say the "hundreds" remark isn't entirely inaccurate.
