  1. Three workers died and one was injured after a partially collapsed bridge gave way during repair work in Jammu’s Bantalab area, prompting a 12-hour rescue operation and an official inquiry english.mathrubhumi.com/news/i #Jammu #Accident #BridgeCollapse #RescueOperation #IndiaNews

  2. Yesterday, a mountain slope collapsed in Sizchuan province of China. The landslide destroyed the approaches to the newly opened Hongqi Bridge. The increased, sudden downpours of rain caused by climate change mean slopes that were once stable, can now be fragile. It is not enough to create well engineered structures. Now engineers need to factor in extreme weather conditions outside centuries-old averages that will disrupt the natural environment.

  9. The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse illustrates we cannot plan for every contingency.

    (Though of course there are things we could have done to defend the Bridge piers better, those were neither free nor 100% effective).

    And the more attention and more resources devoted to identifying and defending against certain rare events, the less we pay to others. We are, and need to be adaptable and flexible, and responsive to circumstances as much, if not more, than anticipatory.

  11. No disrespect to people killed or disrupted by falling bridges, but it would be nice to get even a tenth of that attention on road safety, the lack of which kills more than a million people globally each year, including 40k Americans, and injures many times more - a number that is going up when it should go down.

  13. CW: USPol/US news: rebuilding the Baltimore bridge

    The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore will be rebuilt by the same people who built America: immigrants. Immigrants are the strength of America and its economy, and always have been.

    We should be bringing in more of them, not putting up barriers (both metaphorical and literal) to keep them out.

  15. ' “We know what these folks really want to say when they say DEI mayor,” he told The Banner. “Whether it is DEI or clown. They really want to say the ‘n’ word. But there is nothing they can do and say to me that is worse than the treatment of my ancestors. I am proud of who I am and where I come from.” '

  16. The unsung #heroes who help build America and keep it running— #immigrants #BridgeCollapse

    “Does America need a more searing visual image than eight men working for their piece of the America dream — filling potholes on a terrifying bridge in 1 a.m. darkness — to understand that our nation was built by immigrants, runs on immigrant labor and needs immigrants?”

  17. #Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott:

    "What they mean by #DEI in my opinion is duly elected incumbent. We know what they want to say, but they don’t have the courage to say the N-word."

  18. Six workers are presumed dead after the collapse of a bridge in Baltimore. Search and rescue operations are hindered by cold and poor visibility. The 22 crew members of the ship that collided with the bridge are safe. #Baltimore #BridgeCollapse

  19. It seems disrespectful and unfeeling to me to be solely focusing on blaming someone or something for the #BridgeCollapse. All that matters right now is rescue and recovery efforts. Investigations come after. Rebuilding plans come after. It is still an ongoing disaster, and anything you say will be lost on the people hurting right now.

  20. @samhainnight After a similar thing happened in #Florida , failure to use tugboats to prevent accidental and catastrophic #BridgeCollapse , such as what happened in #Baltimore , is the ‘cost of lax regulations’. So, yes, budget *related*, but not a “budget cut” because you can’t *cut* what was never added for #PublicSafety.

    Is it just my perception, or a case of bad luck Pete? But it seems that #PeteButtigieg is racking-up a horrendous record as #Transportation Secretary ! 🤔
