BRKG Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has collapsed

Are you sure about that?
Is there a legal avenue for that funding? It is of national importance, so honestly there may be. My concern is oversight.
That is, will $10 billion be spent on a $500 million bridge? And will it be used in the 2024 campaign for Biden?

In other words it had pilots. This reporter is new to shipping news, I think.

Neither here nor there.
There probably is for certain types of infrastructure. As to the siphoning of billions to the biden campaign? Remember to pay the man his 10%!

Absolutely and that's just for starters.

Per the map it was doing about 2 knots, down from the 10 it was doing when the first power fail happened. They were doing the best they could, and not shabby work. Just didn't have time enough.

If we speed it up a little more, you'll be able to see the crew water-skiing behind it.
Now look at it sped up!!!!!! Yeah that looks 100% purposeful.

Alright, now that's crazy. Bigfoot knows nothing about electronics.

Fortifying sElections are quite costly.
The DNC must steal this sElection by any means necessary or they will lose power.

You got data to back that up, or is that just another of your wild assertions?
TheSearcher
Are you sure about that?
Either money to the campaign or using it as PR.

Dropping the port anchor looks like it did pivot the ship aft to port moving the starboard anchor area into the bridge. No control.

And the bridge will be renamed by congress to the" Joe Biden" bridge.
There is no more "Rescue". The chances of that were over within an hour.

To be honest I don't think the Navy would care one way or the other. As far as I know there is only one very small Navy reserve base on the other side of the river (they call it Curtis Creek) from the Coast Guard base. The Navy used to have some sort of ship docked there but I haven't seen it in years. It was big enough that they had to shut down I-695 at the Curtis Creek drawbridge though - cuz I've been stuck there waiting on it to pass. So I don't think there is any Navy concern one way or the other. And the water in the area are probably deep enough for any Coast Guard ship - even the Cutter that is stationed there.

13knot wind pushing the ship to the side with the ability to steer against the wind shut off... The ship was going to go where the wind pushed it.

I spoke to a US Navy Vet, who was a navigation specialist.
He shared some interesting facts with me… He says once a ship like that loses power, it loses nearly all ability to steer. And definitely not enough to steer off the way it did.
He believes it was intentional.
He also shared that there are roughly 40-100 vessels that were immediately impacted about to make port in Baltimore that no longer can; which will now have to be rerouted to Hampton Roads, Virginia.
The Port of Virginia.
This poses immediate security and safety concerns as now that port will be severely overwhelmed for what is believed to be several months, at least.
It’s a logistical nightmare and we’re talking backlogged shipments of various items, so it’s not immediately known what supplies chains could be impacted.
But not just that… port authority will also have to have their ears to the ground for potential dangers inside the containers. The dirty kind. We’ve all had that gut feeling that things will severely intensify this year.
Pray for our country. Keep God close to you.

Biden claims to have taken the TRAIN over the Francis Scott Key bridge!
Says he has been over the bridge "many many times commuting from the state of Delaware either by train or by car."
The bridge had only four lanes of traffic and no rail lines.

Merde....
There is only 1 cruise ship that comes/goes from Baltimore though. I think a Carnival lines ship. They've been trying to get more in from other Lines, but that probably ain't gonna happen now.

I assume that a ship like that carry's a bit of insurance coverage for accidents. Pretty sure it won't be enough. But the funding can start there. I suppose that it will start with paying the families that lost loved ones.
Do you highlight everything to emphasize your core ignorance?

It had two complete power losses during the final approach to the bridge.
It's makes that bridge look absolutely insignificant.

“A galley ship's commander addresses the slaves.
"I have good news," the commander says. "For all your hard work, you're each going to receive an extra rum ration!" The galley slaves cheer, but are quickly silenced by the commander. "And now the bad news," he says. "The Captain wants to go water skiing."

Still looking into this but there are claims this is the Captain and that he is Ukrainian. If incorrect I will delete.
