The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Bmore just got hit by a ship & collapsed

[the elastic]

How the fukk is a ship more powerful than a bridge that's supposed to hold the weight of several cars?!

Probably a dumb question, but are you telling me all it takes is ONE big ass ship to take down a bridge? Or was this particular bridge old?

 

[Killer Instinct]

I want the captain arrested IMMEDIATELY.

 

[Secure Da Bag]

RIP to all families of the deceased. I hope, miraculously, there's no deceased.

I hope whatever company that was has enough insurance to compensate the families.

Baltimore about to own a new shipping company because that company is done.

 

[Collateral]

Insanity. RIP to the people who perished in this tragedy.

People don't realize how much stuff is on those container ships. Some of them are heavier than the bridge they are going under.

That makes complete sense.....is this something there is no contingency for?

Basically depending on the massive metal wrecking bullets in the sea to navigate responsibly

Worst day of that ship captains life. He is probably going to commit that.

RIP to those people.

This is the captain and the crews fault.

They are the ones that are supposed to be on the Captain's bridge looking out for obstacles.

But they can't pay for it, so the company will have to.

Probably will lose their jobs though.

I had a dream i was on acollapsing bridge once. Wouodnt cross one for a year. Imagine being the dumb fukk who caused all those people to die.

 

[Chrishaune]

Now ships will have to wait until they clear the bridge out of the way to deliver cargo.

Baltimore will have a problem for a minute.
