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.

How many similar disasters would it take to bankrupt the USA?

I mean we can always just print more money...

You know what scares me? There's enough intelligence behind his assessments that I don't think he went crazy. The problem is he's a rapid fire and emotional in a lot of his posts.

Still the timing of all this is suspect to me. They have a history of being able to conduct false flags, then again so does the CIA.

Don't tell me Jews can't be spiteful cunts.


How do you know? Seriously I want to know. These guys are likely following the rulebook to the letter and just going on autopilot so there's no way they were prepared for that possibility

And Theoretically I don't think it's impossible if we don't know how they used their wi fi or the tech they were using.

You are a literal dumb fucking nigger. You are the biggest, blackest, dumbest, subhuman gorilla nigger I have ever laid eyes upon.

This really sucks for Baltimore. The ports are the largest employer, if you include all the support companies. I've been to the ports numerous times for work.

If you ever wonder why Baltimore turned into such a mess, it was the same thing that happened with a lot of rust belt cities.

Up until the 70's/80's the largest employer in MD was Bethlehem steel at Sparrows Point. When Bethlehem Steel ran itself into the ground, that left a massive employment hole. On top of this, house values dropped. People lost pensions and Healthcare benefits. It was a mess. Nothing came in to replace those jobs so the middle class fled.

The port expansions partial, and I mean like maybe 30 percent, of the steek jobs lost.

Now it's basically happening again.

I’m confused as to why Jersh thinks the citizenship of the sailors (India) is so important to this situation. Container ships entering and leaving port are always under the command of local river pilots until they’re well away from shore (at which point a smaller boat meets up with the ship and takes the river pilots home.) So it’s not as Captain Pajeet was at the helm when this happened.

If you want to blame anybody, blame the owners of the ship, who purposefully register in it a cheap jurisdiction, hire people one step up from straight up slave labor, and defer maintenance until the darn thing is held together with duct tape and a prayer. They are far more at fault then the merchant marine guys doing the grunt work of sailing.

Then you don't know enough about India or pajeets. Thankfully David Attenborough has an educational new documentary:

Better footage. Ship clipped one of the supports and it just went down like a house of cards.

Trying to decide if this is more horrifying or less than that climax scene at the end of Mothman Prophecies. On the one hand, there's less time for the dread to sink in. On the other hand, there's less time to attempt to prepare yourself to be less helpless, such as getting out of your vehicle before it plunges. Either way, this is actual nightmare fuel.

The families of the deceased and the surviving victims had better be seeing an eight figure payout per victim from the streetshitters for this horseshit on top of responsibility for our bridge. Corner cutting, faggot retard pajeets.

Let’s review:

1. There’s no evidence Baltimore did anything wrong (in fact, they shut the bridge down incredibly quickly).

2. There’s no evidence the crew or harbor pilots did anything wrong (in fact, it looks like they responded by the book).

3. There’s no evidence that the bridge was structurally unsound or had any glaring design flaws.

4. There is evidence that the ship’s power plant suffered catastrophic failure which could be due to a lack of maintenance, design flaw, or freak accident.

What this means is all these takes about Baltimore being a shithole and pajeets being retards and other stereotypes are really meaningless and based on nothing. They are satirical at best and ignorant at worse. In fact, this was handled incredibly well for what could have simply been an act of God.

The ship’s maintenance record is the only missing piece of the puzzle here. If it turns out to be clean (which is not unlikely), there is really nobody to blame, and in fact the crew and first responders of Baltimore should be praised

This is true - the pajeets on the deck of the ship are okay.

The pajeet maintenance engineers in whatever 3rd world harbor this boat is from are the true ones at fault.

The river pilots aren't touching the engines or electrical systems. The crew is.

Looks like I just saw a crane coming on site. It is pretty foggy though.
Edit: not seeing anything related to it on AIS though.

Given the massive volume of cargo traffic passing through the Port of Baltimore and its singular outlet being under this bridge, it's hard not to suspect this was intentionally done by globohomo much like the Suez Canal incident, to disrupt the global supply chain and further skyrocket the cost and kill the availability of consumer products to help us more rapidly acclimate to owning nothing and being happy.

Biden is probably really happy he can rush in and begin spending taxpayer money to fix the thing to solidify those blue votes in November, but he probably didn't instruct a bunch of indians to be incompetent.

 

[Tony Vivaldi]

It doesn't appear to be intentional (just retard pajeets being retards) but it will definitely be seized upon.

If they're smart, they'll redirect perishable goods and products to Philadelphia and Wilmington DE ports, mobilize trucks, and get the stuff out from there. Southern ports are further away, but non-perishables could be routed up from there. This of course needs massive coordination and a few brain cells to rub together.

If you remember, I-95 was shut down for almost a whopping 24 hours about two years ago in a winter storm. The idiots couldn't, wouldn't, or weren't able to figure out how to deploy, I dunno, load-bearing Ospreys which are a hop-skip-jump at Pax River and/or Bolling AFB to clear a major thoroughfare where people are freezing in their cars?

Don't hold your fuckin' breath, Kiwis. The retards in charge in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia couldn't find their way out of a well-lit Parks and Rec shithouse to suck the massive dick of the Globohomo Master just cruisin' for 'em.

 

[Amazing Criminal]

Not a single person responsible for this act will see justice and 6 innocents are dead. You are cheering

Uhmmm based much guys???? xD

Americans laugh at the misfortune of other people, but when 6 of you die, it's an injustice and mockery is NOT FUNNY. Everyone laughed and jeered when the UK getting dunked on was featured, but pajeets doing the sneedful on your infrastructure is too far man. And before you get sanctimonious, I don't like it when people die violent deaths either, but you're not warranted a iota of sympathy when your country is the Great Satan and the single most evil force in the world for the past 100 years and responsible for a multitude more innocent deaths.

 

[Ebonic Tutor]

Lol at the people trying to say the pajeet crew isn't why something went horribly wrong with the electrical / engine stuff when they are the ones in charge of maintenance on it.

Jesus, just look at what they've done to google or windows.

 

[Kendall Motor Oil]

I'm surprised they didn't install deflector barriers decades ago after the Sunshine Skyway Bridge collapse. They aren't expensive to install in comparison to the total cost of the bridge..

 

[BubbleButt]

A wise man once said, that the only rational position is optimism. He said it on some podcast or something. I really liked that guy.

Ngl whoever said that sounds like a REAL big queer.

Things just don't 'break' if they are constructed and maintained. Jets and ships don't just 'break down' if they ever were sea/air worthy in the first place. The over/under is it's not the machine, but the man that fails. These pajeets were destined to fuck shit up before they even walked up the gangplank. Flick a switch, get a reward. Push a button, get a banana. Turn wheel, make sure dial says 'this' or 'that', make sure the needle points this way or that way.

They don't really know how it works, they don't really understand cause-and-effect.

"We lost power." Engine power? Electrical power? Backup power? There's mitigating factors and work-arounds for all if you actually know how to drive a ship. The first rule of the sea is "Avoid Collisions At All Costs"

"Shit happens." No, it doesn't. You have to eat to shit. There's a process.

But even the U.S. Navy has plenty of maritime collisions to be proud of, since the dilution of Surface Warfare Quals with Diversity and Inclusion. Now there's quite a few crashes with stationary cargo vessels to boast about. They even have a ship burned down to the waterline while still in port, but fuck the OOD, the JOOD, the fucking fire watches, the fucking roving watches, the quarterdeck watches, and the damage control guys, let's blame it all on one disgruntled sailor.

We are in a world of shit.

Why are you surprised? It's not like the 'adults in charge' have demonstrably proven their incompetence and clear disdain for the populace in the Maryland/Virginia/D.C. area over a decade and a half.

No one knows how anything works.

 

[Drain Todger]

@PaladinBoo's stepfather may have had a point, @MadStan. Apparently, they're now investigating this as a possible fuel contamination issue that took out the generators:

https://nypost.com/2024/03/27/us-news/safety-investigators-to-probe-whether-dirty-fuel-contributed-to-francis-scott-key-bridge-collapse/

A lot of ships nowadays do, in fact, run biodiesel blends instead of straight diesel (on big container ships, they also use heavy fuel oil for the mains, which is basically like tar). Biodiesel burns just fine in most diesel engines, for the most part, but it does have a downside, in that it absorbs water, and then it develops a water-fuel interface that acts as an ideal bacterial growth medium for "bugs". I've crawled under tanks full of thousands of gallons of biodiesel and drained water and bacterial crap out of the bottom of them into a bucket plenty of times before, so I'm familiar with how nasty that shit can get.

If left unchecked, a slug of that crap could clog fuel lines or filters, and then you have a real shitshow on your hands with one auxiliary after another failing to start. This is generally preventable by bleeding fuel tanks, performing scheduled maintenance on diesel purifier centrifuges, and changing out fuel filters regularly, though.

 

[Stoneheart]

This isn't a big enough job for SMIT Boskolias.

they also do smaller stuff and the bridge has to go fast to clear the port.

 

[Shroom King]

For decades shipping companies have gotten away with hiring people who are willing to work for peanuts and saving all the money they can on maintenance/upkeep of their vessels.

The classification societies that approve these practices which allow vessels to get insured are a fucking joke and are in bed with the equipment manufacturers, the shipowners and the governing agencies like the IMO.

You would be safer working on a ship built in 1924 (with a First World crew trained by 1924 standards) than one built in 2024 (with a flag-of-convenience crew that crawled out of a Mumbai ghetto).

This is a situation where the globohomo is absolutely to blame.
