My apologies for the Twitter link. Appears to have happened around 1:30 EDT, judging from the timestamp in the video. Seems unsurprising that Amerikkkan infrastructure is in this dire of a state (at the cost of innocent people's lives, as usual), but I'd still love to know what the hell happened here. Hopefully the early hour meant that more people weren't harmed.

No bridge is going to be designed to take a direct hit from a container ship. This is a multi level failure of the ship and the tugs.

[-] quarrk@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

I would think that bridges should have redundancy such that taking out a single support doesn’t cause total failure. Idk I’m not an entomologist

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

Most bridges have safety precautions to avoid a head on collision however.

Maybe America shouldnt be so reliant on its waterways to transport treats?

???? you're treatposting in response to a container ship hitting a bridge & causing its collapse. world's best communist stalin-approval

[-] LaForgeRayBans@hexbear.net 1 points 8 months ago

I’ll alienate myself from any working class in the pursuit of communism

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 42 points 8 months ago

Oh ok I didn’t realize you were gonna solo communism, now it makes sense

Bruh, did someone switch out your theory reading list for iseksai web novels or some shit? What world are you on?

[-] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago

looks like we've got the Big Communism Builder Himself right here. bask in His glory, He will awash the masses in communism and they will give thanks to Him

This is the kind of take that people point to when they say, "America bad is no substitute for an actual analysis"

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

Apart from treat discourse being a weird response to this, waterways are the most efficient way to move treats massive distances, so this doesn't even make sense.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
