Welcome to Thunderdome

Cargo ship crashes into bridge and the whole 1.6 mile structure collapses.

Cars and construction workers were on the bridge.

There is video of it at the link. It's a distant view so it's not graphic.

Balti-Need-MORE bridges.

I wonder if the harbor pilot was driving the boat.

They said it was "a local pilot", so probably.

Bad business.

This never happened when Trump was president

If a talking head has not said that yet, they will within the next 24 hours.

Some days I just want to be a right wing troll just to see what people will believe/follow.

Why right wing? Left wing trolls are just as common and their people just as gullible.

I see Biden said the federal government is going to pay to replace the bridge. Did Baltimore or the shipping company not have insurance? To be fair to him, he also said he rode a train over that bridge many, many times in the same speech.

Psst: The bridge has never had railroad tracks on it.

Yeah he's sharp as a tack.

Thanks Obama.

It better be on an interstate, or we should all be pissed.

Apparently during the press conference a reporter asked why the ship didn't just drop anchor to stop once they realized they were having issues.

Getting all the info they can to write their article with 27% accuracy.

So, like, does a bridge in the water shut that port down completely? Yikes. Bigger problem than just Baltimore commuters.

Yeah, but the port isn’t that big, and there’s lots of capacity on the East Coast, unlike the West Coast ports. It’s a headache, but not massive. Baltimore is actually a big port for cars, is probably the most annoying part. My Porsche came out of the FL port, but the car hauler stopped at Baltimore, and that’s where the mid-Atlantic Porsches would get dropped.

Fun fact: The largest port on the great lakes is Toledo, OH. It's also why it was rumored to be #11 on Russia's nuke list.

The port and Jeep.
