How does a huge vessel hit a huge bridge?
Not sure if the OP would be able to change it now.It’s Baltimore, not Boston
Doh! How did I get that so wrong? Thanks for the mod editIt’s Baltimore, not Boston
Biden said they managed to stop vehicles but there were construction vehicles parked on the Bridge unfortunately.I can't watch the footage of it, seeing those cars whizz by, the lorries.....all not knowing this was their last moments.
And those poor workmen, some probably doing over time, some maybe shouldn't have been there but did a favour. Waved their families off never to come back home. Its just awful, makes me shudder when they show the footage.
Praying the families get to put their loved ones to rest and all are recovered.
This makes more sense when they said on the news several vehicles were dected under water by sonar but they were only looking for 6 construction workers i was confused nobody was actually in the vehicles that were lostBiden said they managed to stop vehicles but there were construction vehicles parked on the Bridge unfortunately.
It was pretty confusing when first reported.This makes more sense when they said on the news several vehicles were dected under water by sonar but they were only looking for 6 construction workers i was confused nobody was actually in the vehicles that were lost
But a ship ploughed into it - which is, er, shocking. Or the infrastructure of the bridge buckling like that?That collapse is not a huge surprise. The infrastructure is absolutely dire and creaking at the seams, it's so much worse than European countries. Much of it is near the end of it's life after many years of patching things up. It's a (tragic) reminder of how bad things are and how much investment is needed.
I'm not sure why some foreign media is reporting as if its a total shock that stuff like this happens in the states.
