This is how most ports with a bridge do it but Baltimore, having an important interstate bridge in their harbor, knew better than to adhere to such foolishness.Hindsight is 20/20, but shouldn't large ships be towed out of the harbor by tugboats instead of piloted out?
Yeah, true, just like nobody seriously wants to crack down on illegal immigration by punishing employers who hire them. The US makes plenty of stuff at home and making it more difficult to ship more in will just incentivize domestic manufacturing and reshoring more pieces of the supply chain. At the very least it's better having factories in Mexico than it is in China or shit hole India.PPPFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTT... That's cute. That will NEVER happen. We already do our own inspections, but that being said, chinks, pajeets, Charlies, Africans, none of them will comply with any edict you put into place. The rest of the world doesn't legally answer to the US. The rest of the world will just not trade with us. We need their goods. The US manufactures nothing. That's why the shipping world is so fucked up. We can't even hold them liable to pay for shipping so much so we had to establish foreign international credit insurers. What makes you think we'll ever be able to enforce that?
Surprisingly low, I expected dozens dead at least. It should be pretty easy to track considering there's probably data on exactly which cars were on the bridge.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.
So many are NOT going to prison.So many people are going to prison for this.
Bridges are usually really safe compared to your local road. The chances of human error or structural failure are severely lower than that of error from your average local road commute of someone slamming into you due to various reasonsI gave up on the thread because lol A&N. But at least you know things that aren't jokes about brown people.
I've always been afraid of bridges. I'd hate going over them. I don't even like the highway.
Dig a tunnel. It will cost more but that way you wont be dealing with the risk of collision caused by Bangladeshi ship pilot driving mutliton freighter while drunk and uneducated. It is a frightening fact that most merchant seamen nowdays are being pulled from the most impoverished and uneducated shitholes because it is cheaper. This is what happens when we offload manufacturing, supply and labor to the 3rd world instead of using our own Cletuses.
It's not impossible to survive from that height, assuming that the surface tension of the bay was already broken by falling concrete and metal.
Im sure the designers who were making the bridge in the 70's learned a lot about how to make a bridge survive being hit by a quabillion ton steel boat from an incident that happened in the 1980's or maybe the time machine was down for maintenance that day idk.
I wonder how many of the bodies will be unrecoverable. The uncertainty would honestly suck more than confirming a body of a loved one.
Man looks like a huge mess in daylight

And from what I read apparently 6 people are still listed as missing
Welcome to Pajeets in general. This company isn't tiny and what you're referring to is the entire continent.but i can definitely attest to Synergy hiring extremely low quality crew.

I'm gonna be real with you I did not expect a single person taking this seriously, any time a topic gets featured on this website I assume posts with the worst tastes would crop up. I almost always come here for tasteless jokes.It was featured, so a lot of normal users came here expecting autism analysis of water levels, the ship's size and weight, maybe a full dox of the ship's blueprint.
How brain broken are you to follow that retard?
I looked at the bridge once, ten years ago, when I was visiting friends in Baltimore. I'm so lucky to be alive!Since many people took that bridge and feel the need to tell us, as if they miraculously escaped death...I too visited the World Trade Center about 15 years before 9/11. Pray for me.

I take this website seriously for information on internet drama gossip, it's not the first place I look for credible academic information on the intricate detailing the structural engineering of a massive disaster. Same thing with Evergreen and Oceangate.
