  1. Das #Dali Containerschiff welches bei #Baltimore in die #FrancisScottKeyBridge gekracht ist: Ursache scheint gewesen zu sein, dass die Kabelbeschriftung verhindert hat, dass das Kabel korrekt in der Wago-Klemme war wodurch dann Sprit-Pumpen ausgefallen sind, einen Blackout verursacht haben und durch deren Konfiguration nicht automatisch wieder angelaufen sind.

  2. Terrifying how a single point of failure can lead to a cascade that takes lives and demolishes an important bridge.

    Now imagine all that in Space, with wankers like Musk calling the shots.

  4. remember that ship that destroyed Baltimore's key bridge in March?

    well, according to this news article, the crew members are *STILL ON BOARD*

    i feel for those guys, who also have not yet gotten their phones back from the FBI

  5. i was looking thru some old photos yesterday and found one of the Blue Angels flying around Baltimore harbor. this very wide shot is taken in the Southern part of the city, shot looking South so you cant see town at all. But you can, way off in the distance to the left, see the old Francis Scott Key Bridge

  6. This is a pretty cool short (literal) film from 1987 showing a leisurely drive over the original #FrancisScottKeyBridge whilst we hear stories and impressions from the toll collectors, of the time.
    Definitely not an overproduced presentation -- it's just right:

  8. Prioritizing corporate profits over safety and the well-being can lead to catastrophic consequences.

    The #FrancisScottKeyBridge in #Baltimore was not built to withstand a direct hit from a container ship as large as the Dali, which brought down the structure within minutes after its engine failed and it became an uncontrollable drifting force.

    The incident is a symbol of how unfettered #capitalism has resulted in safety concerns becoming secondary to profits.

  9. CW: USpol: immigrants are what make America great

    The right wing is 100% wrong about immigrants. The ones who died on the #FrancisScottKeyBridge last week were NOT "poisoning the blood of our country"; they were *replenishing* it. #Immigration has always been what makes America better.

  10. The images from the maritime disaster in Baltimore’s harbor this week certainly caused a collective gasp from everyone who saw it. The quantity and volume of gasps have continued in the relatively short time span since the Dali hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge. As we’ve heard how costly and much time it will take to demo the wreckage, reopen the harbor, and rebuild the bridge, the magnitude of the hard work needed to navigate the challenges ahead is hard to really grasp, but we know that those challenges can be overcome.

    Even so, this bridge collapse and the reaction to it seems analogous, yet in an almost incongruent way, to the slow motion collapse we’re living through of all of the guardrails we’ve built up in American society.

    Most of those guardrails already lie in a heap of debris and the rest seem to be hanging on by mere threads just waiting to unravel. Frankly, I waver back and forth wondering if it’s possible to rebuild those guardrails or not. Physcial things can be replaced. Societies built on common understandings, traditions, rules, and experiences, not so much. Once the keystones begin to decay the arches eventually fall.

    Bringing back what we have already lost will require a rebuild as substantial, if not more so, than what needs to happen in the Baltimore harbor. And nothing rebuilt is ever the same as what it replaces. Society’s guardrails have been as forever crumpled as what remains of the Key Bridge.

    As Rick Wilson is famously fond of saying, Everything Trump Touches Dies (ETTD) and the casualty list is long: the media, the justice system, Congress, political parties, civil discourse, social media, and on it goes. What isn’t dead has already been infected beyond cure. And watching those willingly accept their own demise is as twisted as is this sentence describing it.

    We were far too complacent with those guardrails, far too passive when we first felt them begin to erode, and far too comfortable to push course corrections or implement further protections.

    You never think about the ground underneath you until it collapses and takes you with it.

  11. 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.

  12. MAGATs New “N” Word: DEI
    "They don't have the courage to say the N-word,” said Baltimore's mayor, Brandon Scott.
    “We’re ignoring all the conspiracy theorists, everyone who’s playing bridge engineer at home…and understanding that what this is about is showing the world once and again that Baltimore can’t be broken.”
