Disaster "Mass casualty incident" declared after Key Bridge in Baltimore collapses

No article yet as this just happened, but could be big. One of the largest bridges in the world according to Wikipedia.

Are boats really supposed to be near that bridge if it appears to have collapsed that easily?

The span is fucking massive. The only way for a boat to be near the support pylons would be for it to completely leave the shipping channel and go into a part of the river it was never intended too.

Can also confirm what you said about the pilots. They just don't let anybody become a shipping pilot. Usually shipping pilots are former Navy and Coast Guard captains. The tests are also demanding. Shipping pilots only let the best of the best into their ranks. Most people are taking the test to become pilots flunk out. However, when it comes to time off, at least here in the Pacific Northwest the time off a pilot two weeks on two weeks off with every six months or so they get a month long break.

Thats more of a best case scenario. Never assume people are as competent or well trained as they are supposed to be. Case in point: I have a relative who used to be a ships captain (worked his way up from deckhand) in the government ferry system out in BC. Eventually ended up quitting and becoming a pilot at the vancouver port. Whats odd about that? His competency. While in full uniform he would wear two different types of sneakers with neon red laces on one and neon green to keep port and starboard straight. After literally decades as a ships captain he couldn't tell port from starboard, and still qualified for both positions. Though he did 'retire' after about a year in that job but still. Doesn't speak well of the competency of people in positions like that

That said, a crew of indians fucking over baltimore like this only proves the old saying true: there ain't no dindu like a hindu

Really makes you think.

I'm waiting for the news that the bridge was supposed to have upgraded protection systems years ago, but all the money went to niggers, faggots, and niggerfaggots.
Apparently it was "up to code", but specifically a '70s code that did not allow for a neopanamax full of pajeets plowing into it.

Joe Biden just concluded a campaign speech where he railed against "MAGA Republicans". Not one mention of the bridge.

Here’s the press conference where he responds to the bridge disaster, lays out the facts and pledges federal support.

And at the campaign speech, Harris opened by speaking about the bridge in some detail, before Biden’s speech.

Here’s the link and transcript of that.

The thing with Kate is not that medical information was not to be shared, but that the Crown outright lied and said she's perfectly ok and healthy with badly photoshopped images, when all they had to say was that Kate was dealing with a significant medical issue and asks for privacy.

They lied for good reason. Two royals diagnosed with cancer after the nation was unduly coerced into participating in a medical experiment which has seen cancer rates explode isn't good publicity. Desperate times.

$20 says a nigger was involved.

It's Baltimore, the niggers are the victims in this case.

I bet this all started when an Indian was appointed captain. Those fuckers are some of the most nepotistic people in the world.

Apparently the captain was a Ukrainian but never underestimate a pajeets ability to fuck up. Especially a ship of over 20 of them.

 

[The Big O]

I too am of the mind that this really may have been a freak accident, and I'm the kind of guy who would entertain conspiratorial angles to things from time to time. This simply seems like it could have played out as a perfect cascade of failures, maybe borne of DEI-associated incompetence at a minimum.

What's the death toll up to so far? How many missing?

Spoiler: .

The consequences of adding a "Feature thread" function has been an unmitigated disaster for Kiwifarms

Anyway, why were there no tugboats when this ship was leaving the port?

They had just departed it. The tugs take it away from the berth and get it into the shipping channel. it lost power a few minutes later

Ukies aren't great seamen either. In fact, I can't think of a worse combo than hohol captain and indian crew. You would likely be better off with an Poo captain and a crew of ukrops.

 

[Sarcastic sockpuppet]

I know it's funnier to blame it on niggers and pajeets and whatever but people on here should wake up to the fact that many infrastructures in the USA just suck, and have sucked for a long time. Such a bridge should have an artificial island or at least massive bollards surrounding each of the support columns. It's done in countries with way lower GPD.

That way, if a retard crash, which will always happen one day eventually, it doesn't destroy a massive bridge like it's made of legos, killing dozens of people in the process.

This incident is typical and needs to be accounted for.

How long until some faggot horror channel makes a video about ‘spooky last moments videos’ featuring this tragedy

I was expecting some retarded take from the anticar crew to come out, and /n/ came through with this nugget before the bodies went cold:

I genuinely think I am going to have nightmares about this tonight.

This may seem inappropriate but I can't help but notice that the reaction here seems to be way different from how people reacted to the 9/11 attacks, where people were openly mocking it the same day. In this incident, people are mourning & empathizing with the people falling off the bridge, where 9/11 elicited jeering & mockery. I wonder what the difference is between this bridge and the twin towers.

No, stalker child. It is you who will collapse the bridge. Enjoy drowning.

You and your obsessed criminal bridges have been instructed many hundreds of times to withstand impact from a cargo ship. Your life as a bridge is already over. Enjoy Davy Jones's Locker.
