- HAL90015
Moment bridge collapses in Baltimore after c4rg0 ship collision
- many people missing. You can see the cars falling into the waterHAL9001
- Also possiblly many Construction workers who were working on the bridge at the time.Ramanisky2
- JeezozPhanLo
- this is terribleHAL9001
- The news says sonar has picked up multiple vehicles in the water and there's an active search and rescue ongoing. Also: holy shit.garbage

- This is not the first time that ship runs into a bridge.palimpsest
- Damn.Wordsworth
- just the tipsted
- hackedsted
- ^the ship lost power twice. the power is controlled by computers, no? therefore, could be h4xcherub

- 30M vehicles a year, and it took five years to build. Traffic's going to be fun in Baltimore for a while...Nairn
- That bridge looked fragile as fuck.milfhunter
- Captain was on his phone probably :-PHAL9001
- i can't believe how easily it fell to bits. So horrible.Ianbolton

- @Gnash you mean: Boeing making bridges now?milfhunter
- That ship is a repeat offender.palimpsest
- milfhunter with the victim blaming.palimpsest
- @palm It goes both ways. Shitty old infrastructure and shitty shipment.milfhunter
- What was the bridge wearing and why was it "open" at night?palimpsest
- @milfhunter
Very shitty people on both sides.palimpsest - What was the bridge doing in the middle of the water in the first place? And why didn't it move out the way?palimpsest
- The bridge was shit, but those container ships are terrifying. Once I was on a ferry back into town, container ship stalled and was floating into our path.garbage
- I was taking a nap in my car, and woke up to full sirens as the captain was pulling whatever the ferry equivalent of an e-brake is.garbage

- Holy shit. The lights come on and you can see the exhaust of full reverse way too late.garbage

- flol @ paliContinuity
- I'm guessing shipping's fucked there too, right? Nothing can come in or out until that mess is dealt with.
Fucking critical infrastructure, eh?Nairn - 'i can't believe how easily it fell to bits'
you'd fall to bits if you were hit by 120,000 tons. bridges aren't designed to eat that kind of momentum.face_melter - lol. Peeps thinking the bridge was at fault here. The engineering of these things is remarkable, taking out 1 of the 2 supports is what brought it downGnash
- @Nairn I can bridge nerd on this. I live pretty much on the water, in between a few drawbridges and the second-most popular suicide bridge in the world. Fun!garbage
- This on was a continuous truss, and it's essentially a budget bridge used for shipping lanes and port entrances.garbage
- Sometimes they don't have bridge tenders, can't tell if this one had one or not.garbage
- Everybody knows bridges don't collapse from "legitimate crashes".palimpsest
- Everybody knows about Tampa Bay boat bridge collapse in 1980... they should anyway if making blanket statements for everybodyprophetone

- More than 45,000 U.S. bridges and 1 in 5 miles of roads are in poor condition, per the American Society of Civil Engineersmilfhunter
- someone calculated the force of impact, its around 3 million kilojoules of force, its like a localized lvl 3 earthquake, no bridge can stand thatfeel
- Only one could. Trusty 11 Foot 8.garbage

Germany considers entry ban on Austrian behind mass deportation plan
Interior ministry considering options against Martin Sellner after days of protests against AfDGerman authorities are closely examining the possibility of an entry ban for the far-right Austrian whose master plan for the deportation of immigrants is at the heart of a storm gripping Germany over the rightwing populist Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party.
Martin Sellner, the founder of the so-called Identitarian Movement, which preaches the superiority of European ethnic groups, could be banned from entering Germany if he is deemed to pose a threat to German democratic stability, according to members of the interior affairs committee of the Bundestag.

Families in disbelief after hundreds of bodies found buried behind Mississippi jail
“We know, based on the records from the coroner's office, that, since 2016, in the last eight years, we can identify 215 individuals that were buried behind that jail, and their families have not been notified.
Furthermore, Mr. Wade was number 672. That means there are 671 other people buried behind that jail marked with only a number.”
