A boulder smacking into a car driving near a mountainside is a freak accident. A container ship losing all power, destroying a bridge valued at several hundreds of million and sending a dozen people into the river to their deaths is a colossal fuck up.
"NOOOOOO YOU CANT REPEAL A HECKING REGULARINO!!!!!! THATS LITERALLY GOING TO RESULT IN THE RETURN OF CHILD SLAVE LABOR AND ALL THE RIVERS BEING POISONED!!!!@ MUH CLIMATE EMERGENCY!!!! WHAT WOULD CAPTAIN PLANET THINK!!!"
International ship crews are just a smidge above slave labor in many cases. People whining about diversity hires in this thread are cracking me up. They give no fucks about diversity in international shipping, it's a true unfettered, ruthless capitalism to its very core and the cheaper the crew the better.
8 people were on the bridge at the time of the collision and only six remained unaccounted for. Those six were part of a construction crew filling potholes on the bridge.
After my shock, the first thing I thought of was Kailyn Wilcher.
Nothing that happens all the time is an act of God. Acts of God are rare by definition.
Usually when bodies go missing in rivers connected to the Chesapeake bay, they're eventually found as they wash up on shore. Few people died over time because they swam in the Potomac River and got sucked under only for their corpses to be found near the mouth of the Bay.
Motherfucker, this is literally what I said. Nobody implied, EVER, ANYWHERE, that there existed a bridge that could leave such a collision unscathed. The only thing that could vary is SEVERITY OF THE DAMAGE. Truss or suspended bridge = complete destruction. Other types = partial damage with the possibility not having to rebuild from scratch.
I guess in my case it's the result of being a son of one. There is precisely one truss bridge in my town that goes over a river and houses two sets of railroad tracks which my father oversaw the construction of. After its completion, every time we drove by, he'd say that if a single major crack appears basically anywhere on the bridge, the whole thing will collapse. I never took it seriously because up close it looked indestructible.
Didn't read, kill yourself. I trust my father more than some random ass faggot on an Internet forum.
billions if going by what /pol/acks say.
6 people are missing currently? All of them to my understanding were construction workers who were on the bridge repairing potholes at the time of the collision.
your random interstate bridge isnt collapsing from wear and tear out of the blue.
