Key Bridge, Baltimore, has collapsed.

Why don't the build a tunnel done seem that long a span

There's already a tunnel the other side of the port 4 miles up river.

No shithole foreigners responsible, local pilots are used to navigate the ships in and out of the harbour

"Can the ships' Captain please come to the bridge?"

"Please clarify which one - we have two!"

Re: Francis Scott Key, taken from Wikipedia,

At the time of his death he owned eight human beings. !!

It was normal then. Don’t judge someone from yesterday based on today’s supposed moral standards.

And, that was clearly not why the bridge was named after him.

Don’t confuse Trump, or Trump Cult Members, with the truth!!

I see it didn’t take long to make Biden responsible! I’m assured it was well past his Ovaltine time, so he had already had his bedtime story and was fast asleep with Mummy.

Not sure the ships would be able to fit through it, mate.

Thanks for that and they did have those protectors which proved completely inadequate.

They should in such a busy shipping channel had something far more substantial:

I suppose we should be grateful that it wasn't nose to tail traffic on there when it happened.

Yes, six hours later or earlier and it would have been.

It is awful to say, but if it had to happen, that was the best time for it that day.

I'm wasn't judging anyone, unless you take a few exclamation marks as proof of that. I assume the bridge was named in honour of him for writing the words to star spangled banner, fair dos. But the real standout for me was that for somebody who led the american colonisation society, he still ended up 'owning' slaves when he died. Wasn't right then and it's not right now, I think we can agree on that moral standard.

Genuinely think if Southgate was in control of this ship it wouldn't have happened.

Yeah, it would have been going backwards.

Probably demolished the Port instead though;-)

Slavery has always been a part of the human story. I’m glad I live today, when it is decried and considered morally repugnant.
