Baltimore bridge collapse

I think it was too. I've lost propulsion out at sea and had to recover from it. In the channel you try to be as redundant as possible so if you lose one engine or a generator you have another to take up the load. I don't know anything about their control systems so can't guess the actual cause of this.
My greatest (and probably unjustified) fear of chair lifts is the breaking system when the thing stops. I keep thinking of a backwards run away. Some of them will back up a foot or two when they stop. thats a real thrill.
Yep my sisters got mad at me because I always got to ride in front seat. It was either that or stop for me to puke and Dad was not wasting time on that!
That was my impression of the U-505 -- where did 48 guys fit on that thing?
And how did a cook make meals for 48 guys on a heating pad measuring about 2'X2' ?
Thanks. What is the significance of all that black smoke that spewed just before it hit?
Good question. Too much fuel/not enough air is the usual cause. But that shouldn’t cause a total electrical failure. I’m thinking the electrical restart is probably the emergency system kicking in. There will be a lot of experts going through those shipboard systems.
TV guy said the water is 40 to 60 feet in that area.
Diesels often put out black smoke on starting. Could be from restarting diesel generators or main engines.
The Dali was powered by a single diesel. Looks to me like it was not a diesel/electric system. No backups. Engine failure? Fuel issue?

Watching you guys go back and forth with gifs from The Wire...just seemed like a shirts vs blouses moment to me
I’ve jumped out of dozens of airplanes. No issue.
Second floor at the mall looking down at the first floor? Sweaty palms.
The Baltimore bridge disaster: what happened and who will pay?
Symptomatic of the general deterioration of the US infrastructure?It will be an opportunity to upgrade the port by building a modern bridge that can accommodate the super carriers.
Otherwise, it will just follow the port's slow decline and irrelevance, as mentioned in The Wire. (Or maybe, like in The Wire, there was some hidden hand involved in this accident?
)

Nah...it needed to be torn down (or at least renamed) because the bridge itself was racist...The Baltimore bridge disaster: what happened and who will pay?

Who was Francis Scott Key, whose namesake bridge fell? His poem became 'The Star-Spangled Banner'
A major bridge that collapsed in Baltimore after getting hit by a ship is named for Francis Scott Key, who turned a wartime experience into the poem that became the national anthem of the United States.

Saw a report that this is not the first crash this ship has been involved in. Hoping that this is not a case where damage from a first accident wasn't fixed properly and ending up causing the second.
Don't worry..... The insurance lawyers will figure it out... Eventually. Gonna be a bonanza in the insurance litigation game for the next decade.

The issue I see is that the ships still have to navigate under the Bay bridge... Which is further south by Annapolis. So there will still be limitations based upon that bridge. Baltimore also has a cruise port but it seems that only the smallest/oldest cruise ships can currently access it due to these two bridges.
Of course even with the proper toe-point you'd still be wearing your ankles like earrings and your balls would join your Adam's apple.
A cruise port? What a letdown that must be for the folks on their vacation.
Captain Stubing never docked the Pacific Princess in a 3rd world port as disappointing as Baltimore must be.
Anyone notice how fast pop hole pete made it to Baltimore? He's done more in 24 hours for this incident than he has for Ohio in mooooonths. hmm
people will have to wait on their under armour shit. their main distribution/warehousing is right next to that bridge
election year. ACTIVATE DEMS. Plus it’s close and he probably wants to see it. Like a field trip

That could help our recruiting against Under Armour schools. Queen decommitting from Maryland and coming to Bloomington. You heard it here first!!!
I think it’s just the shit that goes to dick’s etc. team uniforms are outsourced. My buddy used to manufacture the football uniforms that were sec under armour schools. He’d make the uniforms then just slap the under armour patch and label on at the end
Biden already took credit for personally taking charge of salvage, cleanup and rebuild. He just “hopes” congress won’t stand in his way.
Rumor has it that Buttegeig is drafting the necessary regulations to make sure those who design and build the new bridge look like the people of Baltimore.
They’re a smoke and mirrors marketing company. There’s no greater buzzkill than the German national team wearing Nike
fools gold getting excited by new five stars. the current five stars can't beat nebraska and northwestern. 3 stars with male pattern baldness at that school up north are better for building teams. people are done with iu basketball at the moment. recruiting doesn't matter. i was at the gym last week and had an iu t shirt on. people usually just leave me alone because THEY CAN TELL I'M THERE TO GET SWOLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M NOT. F*UCKINGGG. AROUNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. but on this occasion two separate people brought up basketball and the need to fire the coach
All jokes aside, I haven't been this apathetic since the Davis years when even he was calling in sick for games.
The baseball team has nosedived after a 5-1 start and a top 25 ranking.
All I have right now is Women's basketball and hope for the football team and Mens soccer.
oh yeah i watched maybe 15 minutes of iu basketball this year. i couldn't name more than a few players. but oh man i was totally engaged during the davis years. now that was entertainment. hiding in the basement. all kinds of fun drama. and peegs was sooooooooo good then. i really wanted davis to succeed. when i finally win mega millions i'll probably bring davis back along with crean. crean will be head coach and davis lead assistant and recruiter. and if the rumors about fife being super maga political and outspoken i'll bring him in too.
baseball is more fool's gold. the big ten is the minor leagues. can't compete with the dirty south.
move on from college soccer. it's only going to get worse and worse as the better kids choose mls2 and just stay in the academies.
Denver is a #1 seed in NCAA hockey. Their offense is terrific and their defense makes the other teams offense look pretty good. Watch them if you can, it won’t be boring hockey.
