this really helps put the sheer size of these container ships into perspective...

Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
- Thread starter GromsDad
- Start date
Before reading every post above, I have this to say. What caused the bridge disaster? The fact that a SINGLE support was so vulnerable to large container ships. After giant container ships started going under that bridge, they should have built up a concrete island around the single support so that if a ship crashes into the support, it will crash into the concrete island surrounding the single support. Pile up concrete blocks all around the single support, and then pour concrete on top of it so there is a smooth, gentle slope, that will stop the giant ship before it can reach that single support. The ship will suffer minor damage and the bridge is not even touched!! Thank you.

right? Karp predicted this, even modeled the event in AI VR using PLTR software. but nooooo, nobody listens to Turtle, do they?
they will now
lol I guess. How it really works is if you’re a major corpo and your business involves the port of Baltimore and youre running Palantir software you’re in a better position than anyone else to deal with itright?

How shipping companies will navigate around the Port of Baltimore after bridge collapse - WTOP News
Cargo ships can’t enter or exit the Port of Baltimore following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, but that doesn’t mean the port is closed.

Wtf six pages and not one bridge or boat joke?
this thread sucks
They’ll have to cut it in manageable chunks that can be towed to the sides by tugs. The USN is pretty good at demolitions.
It's just a JPG going around the web.
Unconfirmed but you can comb through the website and see they have tons of Russians working for them, as well as many other nationalities.

Some more follow up here (click me).
Don't want to click, ok, here is what the shipping company says of the Ukraine captain angle as reported by AFP (at the link):
That's why I want it renamed, "The Dalit." At the end of the day, it doesn't matter who's piloting if you have no power.
Captain of container ship that caused Baltimore bridge collapse is Indian, not Ukrainian
Following the crash that caused Key Bridge to collapse early Tuesday, social media users shared a screenshot of a webpage they said identified Dali’s captain.
