Here is a link to another post with an article.
Holy fuck! It took the whole thing down! That shipping company is going to be sued into oblivion
There were people on it! Not a whole lot of cars since it happened a couple hours ago. But there were around 50 people working on it at the time. Its so devastating.
Will probably take a couple of insurance companies down too!
Usually, this would be deleted for not being a news article.
OP, please link to the link below, and I’ll let it stay.
Im sorry, i wasnt aware of that rule. I just wasnt seeing a video up on here at the time so i grabbed one off the live stream to post for others to see. I posted the link you gave in the description instead of the main url so people can still quickly pull it up. If theres a problem still ill do what i can to change it, or you can go ahead and delete this post since there are now more videos and such up online.
Nope. You did great. Our rules state that a post must contain a link to an article. Keeping the video as primary, and adding a link as the comment suffices. We usually don’t give the warning, but I felt that your post added good context for the news surrounding the breaking news.
You guys (mods) are doing a helluva good job. A very civil request for the OP to correct the slight omission, encouragement and polite follow up, didn’t just silently delete the post.
Kudos!
Roughly 20 people are still missing. Water is almost 0 degrees. I think this will be the death toll.
I also wonder how TF this happened.
Woof… Found a map of the area, and yeah, you can route around the collapse, but the next closest crossing is a ways away…
And the tunnels (I-895 and I-95) forbid things like propane, so if you have some of that, you’re off to the west side of the Baltimore Beltway, which is already extremely busy. Good luck with that!
(Relatively local person here who travels around Baltimore frequently. I’ve used the bridge that collapsed on several occasions to avoid the tunnels while carrying propane.)
Oof… the traffic is gonna be hellish there for the foreseeable future.
Except if you’re carrying HAZMATS it’s even worse, they’re not allowed in either of the tunnel crossings, so all that traffic has to reroute aaaaaaall the way off your map via the western half of 695.
Welcome to Baltimore (bawlmore, for the locals). A local here, it’s so devastating.
Holy crap! That went down way more quickly than I expected.
That went down way more quickly than I expected
Id say it fell at roughly the speed of gravity.
My point is that it didn’t collapse it pieces. It just fell straight down with seemingly no structural resistance.
Bridges aren’t meant to withstand those kinds of forces. I’m actually not sure what is able to withstand them.
Russians did it!
I read it was a ship from Singapore, idk what they have against us though. Probably russian assets taking revenge for the concert shooting.
I think they drank Russian vodka in the hold of the ship - thus the Russians are to blame!
There’s the connection we’re looking for.
