That's not at all what Sobotka is talking about during that scene. He doesn't even mention the bridge and the character wouldn't say that anyway, since he is actually very aware of the precarity of his position as a blue-collar. Half of his whole thing is that he sees the end coming for his world and is fighting like hell to expand the port and save the jobs of the dockers who are threatened by technological advancement, even greasing paws in the process.There's one thing about the bridge who aged like milk.

It looks like the central span (the only bit they need to clear to get shipping in) stayed in 2 big bits: I suspect there's nothing local, but there's probably kit in the gulf for rig work that can handle it in big bits.I wonder how they will go about clearing it so they can reopen the channel fully? Presumably they will have to chop up the spans and move them, and parts are above and parts below the water. It’ll be interesting seeing how they approach it. Just chop it up and haul it out the way then chop it up smaller and take it out? What kind of kit is needed to do that kind of metalwork under water? Presumably a big payday for the commercial divers.
Not girder by girder but chop into sections maybe? That will be interesting to watch , I wonder what kind of heavy lifting kit they will bring in, and if there’s anything capable of hauling huge sections of it out, and how big the bits they can actually move are…It looks like the central span (the only bit they need to clear to get shipping in) stayed in 2 big bits: I suspect there's nothing local, but there's probably kit in the gulf for rig work that can handle it in big bits.
If they need to chop it up and lift it girder by girder its going to be months.
Where the fuck do you think Boston is? Boston is over 400 miles away from Baltimore. New Englanders don't go near that shithole.Its nothing but comical the reason they probably all died is they couldn't understand the cops in Boston accents telling them "GET OFF THE FUCKING BRIDGE!"
ain't hard to understandDon't know wtf is causing Josh's recent mental spiral, shouldn't he be riding high with the money he was able to raise to fight bullshitters trying to destroy us and the net in general? Is there something else I missed?
People keep saying DEI mayor, but I dont think the Democrats could put a white guy in Baltimore as mayor even if they wanted. They havnt elected a white guy since 1999, they keep electing felons like Dixon or grifters like Scott.It's pretty hypocritical the Republicans are calling the Baltimorgue mayor DEI mayor given there's nothing Republicans love more than putting random black people in high positions.
Its also not the major civil rights incident for Baltimore, it will be the Freddie Gray memorial bridge.Good luck with that.
Congress will need to approve of the $1 Billion or so for the reconstruction. All the Republicans need to do is include a clause that the bridge has to have the same name.
First reports were that over 20 vehicles fell into the water. It turned out later that they closed the bridge on time and all the vehicles already on the bridge cleared it.View attachment 5856718
That's some mass casualty you got there.
I know. I'm just mocking the fact that media outlets are still calling it that despite death toll being on the level of an average car crash.First reports were that over 20 vehicles fell into the water.

Maybe like when one of those minivans with 20 Mexicans in it rolls over.I know. I'm just mocking the fact that media outlets are still calling it that despite death toll being on the level of an average car crash.
There a comments tab on both pages, here's a screenshot from one:TBF from my understanding it saying "Availability" meant he's not currently being the captain of any ship for them atm. The Dali was just the last one he happened to be on last.

So in theory he'd been off the ship by then.
(posted the archive thing earlier too, but yeah it mostly got ignored for the above reason.)
Probably just removed to try to prevent people harassing some guy that's not been on the ship in months.
Not ALL safety regulations are built the same though. But I understand how you mean. Problem is this is a foreign ship, which probably has no safety standards, especially from fucking india.See, whenever I hear anyone complain about safety and inspection regs, I'm gonna point to incidents like this and remind these mental deficients that
You can motivate a monkey to try fixing a computer with a gun to its head, but this doesn't magically give the monkey intellect to fix the computer. Same goes for officers you mentioned, all the motivation in the world doesn't mean shit if you lack the intellect.crew has an extremely good motivation for not mindlessly throwing wrenches into their engine system; their lives are in danger if the boat sinks.
Really hate how they always say "jewish space lasers" to refer to direct energy weapons. Literally nobody, even on here, have I seen refer to them as "jewish space lasers". Is this them admitting that jews are behind direct energy weapons?Shame. Shame. Shame everyone who has blamed DEI. Let MSNBC instruct you on the proper way to think.
Seems like the black people in Baltimore dun get they representation just finethey keep electing felons like Dixon or grifters like Scott.
Marjorie Taylor Green said something about Jewish space lasers once, now they constantly bring it up because it's funny and makes righ-wingers look ridiculous and stupid.Really hate how they always say "jewish space lasers" to refer to direct energy weapons.

This is the same mayor that has championed this shitshow.Shame. Shame. Shame everyone who has blamed DEI. Let MSNBC instruct you on the proper way to think.
No Data Recorders stop when power goes out. It's the same in planes.Ok, that sounds sketchy as hell. Is it just me?
