Baltimore Bridge has fallen down!

[claptrappers_union]

A cargo ship crashed into it, and it completely collapsed.

Unbelievable pictures. Reminds me of the Tampa Bay Sunshine Skyway disaster a few decades ago.

[FCBurnley]

911 mark 2 ?

[claptrappers_union]

The ship lost propulsion, and CCTV showed power flickering before colliding.

[Foshiznik]

911 mark 2 ?

I am absolutely certain it will be human error or an issue with the ship. If it was anything nefarious, you'd think they wouldn't wait until 1:30am when the bridge is at its most quiet to purposely cause a collision.

911 mark 2 ?

Do they commit terrorist actions in the dead of night with no-one watching and relatively few people killed?

It's a cargo ship that lost power and crashed.

[bfcjg]

Dreadful images, what can awful thing happen.

[Spike]

Friendly fire?

[claptrappers_union]

The mayor said the mayday call saved hundreds of lives.

The same vessel was reportedly involved in a collision whilst leaving the container port of Amsterdam in 2016. Veering sharply and colliding with the dock in fine weather conditions.

Naughty Ship.

Can’t imagine the ongoing disruption this will cause. Don’t live in Baltimore but it is a major thoroughfare. Not to mention the repair cost !! Terrorism is not just about killing people

Next you'll be saying Ukraine did it.

The bridge collapse has cut off the largest port in the USA. The economic consequences are immense. No goods in, no goods out. I would say that's quite strategic. Wouldn't you?

They won't understand that on here. You're wasting your time.

Thanks for your intelligent input.

[Quickenthetempo]

Would a ship that large not take a straight line to the gap it was going in for at least half a mile?
So if they lost power, it would still go on the right course?

No. Oceans have currents which would tend to push a ship off its course as soon as it loses power.

[Jel]

I would think that the outcome of this, should be that shipping, when navigating waters with bridge structures like this need tug boat assistance.

[Vegas Claret]

Thanks for your intelligent input.

far more intelligent than your nonsense, it wasn't hard though.

Shut up you idiot. Your idea of intelligence is to just throw a little insult at anyone that provokes thought.

9th largest according to Port of Baltimore.

I stand corrected. I must have read it wrong.

[Paul Waine]

At least 4 larger container ports on east coast usa. New York/New Jersey largest.

[Paul Waine]

At least 4 larger container ports on east coast usa. New York/New Jersey largest.

Some tables place Baltimore at 13th or 14th largest port in usa.

[Rileybobs]

It would be a bit obvious for terrorists to target one of the 12 biggest ports though.

[Devils_Advocate]

It would be too obvious if they did a terror attack on one of the 8 largest US ports. Attacking the 9th largest port is exactly what a terrorist group would do if they wanted to try and make it look like an accident.

Yes, you've made your point.

[claptrappers_union]

No doubt Isis would claim responsibility anyway, however this isn't a terrorist attack.

As I said earlier, the may day call saved lives because it gave them enough time to close the bridge.

[Bordeauxclaret]

If I was a terrorist I’d make the mayday call to avoid suspicion.
They are a crafty bunch.

Does your commencing that post with the words 'Shut up you idiot' not strike you as being a tad hypocritical?

[ClaretOfMancunia]

Bloody hell. If you think this is anything other than an accident you need to step away from the internet for a while.

[The Shire Claret]

The fact people are even remotely suggesting this as a terrorist attack is scary

[Rileybobs]

Had a browse on Twitter earlier and some people were insinuating the Obama’s were responsible. Scary world we live in.

[Clovius Boofus]

This Week's News from around the Internet - conspiracy theorists blame Covid jab for turning them into shrieking gullible idiots.

[Bordeauxclaret]

The same month the M25 mysteriously shut for the first time in 30 years.

Really makes you think.

[The Shire Claret]

Grane Road closed today ….

Aliens ….

[claptrappers_union]

Gay aliens

[Clovius Boofus]

The biggest laugh is that these people wear their gullibility and stupidity like it's a badge of honour.

[Poulton-le-Claret]

Classic ISIS

You need to come up with something to provoke thought though and you are just talking a bunch of truffle

Don’t believe everything you read.

It was Bill Gates.

That's what those vaccine microchips were for.

[CoolClaret]

The brain rot of people since covid is insane.

The internet has always had nutters on it but damn - it's just everywhere now.

[Swizzlestick]

Absolute belter, this.

[ecc]

Childish as per.

Six people presumed dead. And yet the bickering and insults start straight away.

[Awayfromburnley]

Apparently it was due to the fact that someone broke the wall on the edge of our flat earth and it acted like a plug hole pulling ships towards it.

You won't hear about it in the MSM though.

Bill Gates and Obama apparently drove their ship into the wall as they had too many vaccine shots. Though other sources say they did it because of the chemtrails blocking GPS signals causing ships to malfunction.

Some of you need to do your research!

[ecc]

Some of you need to seek medical help.

[Awayfromburnley]

Some of you need to seek medical help.

I expect that may be in reference to my post. I hope it is clear that it is intended as satire and openly casting open the bizarre nature of some conspiracy theorists!
