Has Biden issued any statements on the bridge? Has Trump?

Reports are they lost propulsion.
The ship crew contacted authorities far enough in advance of striking the bridge that authorities were able to block oncoming traffic on both sides. It's a long bridge though, so there were apparently a couple of cars that ended up in the water. Eight road workers were on the spans. Two survived.

Most "accidents" are caused by a human or equipment failure. Most preventable.

I have no doubt you could.

It’s depressing how people have become so prone to projecting politics into every damn facet of life.

You guys do realize accidents happened before DEI existed, right?

Cool. Let's Discuss the rate of accidents, and what might be leading to that change in rate.

Three Days in March:

ZeroHedge (Tuesday): "Plane Was Nosediving": United Airlines Boeing 737 Engine Erupts In Flames Over Texas

CBS News (Thursday): American Air jet clipped Frontier Jet on Miami International Airport tarmac

ZeroHedge (Friday): United's Boeing 737 Max Jet Veers Off Runway In Houston, Marking Third Incident In Week

ZeroHedge (Friday): Tire Separates From Boeing 777, Crushes Cars In San Francisco Parking Lot

ABC7 News (Friday): SFO-MEX United flight makes emergency landing at LAX due to hydraulic failure

Definitely accident. Would like to see the full explanation of the hard turn in regaining power the second turn. Seems like it would have coasted to the side the structure and not head on if not for the last minute turn.

but DEI exists now, and i think it's absolutely fair to be suspicious and look at every single mishap / accident / infrastructure failure through this lens now.

The good thing is that when it happened I could have sworn that there were no vehicles crossing the bridge at that instant! I could be wrong!


I heard that the ship put out a mayday and bridge people jumped into the road and stopped traffic

Thank you for providing a video with actual data on the events leading up to the impact.

Answers a lot of questions.

Nice cover to shut down the #1 coal export port to Europe.

Ship appears to have lost power twice before impact with the bridge.

There are videos out of cars on the collapsing part, going headfirst down the failing bridge into the water.

Of course accidents happened before DEI, but that doesn't make the question an unreasonable one. Unfortunately, the widespread infection of DEI dictates that this question should always be asked.
