  2. Today was my first bike ride down to #FortMcHenry since the #KeyBridgeCollapse. I knew what to expect as I rounded the turn, but it was still stunning.

    It was also the most crowded I've ever scene the park--but maybe that was because of the Orioles game?

  3. These six workers who perished were not "poisoning the blood of our country," they were replenishing it. This is a moment of clarity when we need to reject the national disease of #xenophobia and restore our faith in the #UnitedStates as a beacon for the best people. They may have been born all over the continent, but when these men plunged into our waters on Tuesday, they died as Americans.

  4. Remember "Heckuva job, Brownie"?, try "Heckuva job, Fredo, isn't he doing great?".
    Paste-eating Eric Trump would be head of the #NTSB.
    Breaking Bad extra reject Don Jr. would be head of the #CoastGuard because he always wanted a uniform with lots of medals on it.
    You'll have Vice President #GymJordan, sweating through a dress shirt, trying to find a trans person to blame.
    That's the future #trumpers want.

  5. Can you imagine the #DonPoorleone clowncar of lickspittle political suckups, grifters, toadies, failboats, whores, and idiot son hires handling this complex disaster?
    That fucking moron would be out here with a sharpie and big cartoon whiteboard magnets "explaining what happened".
    Imagine Matt Gaetz as Transportaion Secretary. That's what we would get.

  6. Oh boy.
    #CNN has an obvious crank "expert" (#TimothyGalarnyk) saying Buttigieg is wrong that the Dali weighed 100,000T, that it only weighs 10,000T (it was carrying 4700 containers, EMPTY weight of just the containers is 13,000T). It carries around 2 million gallons of fuel, that's another 8,000T. Then he finds it "curious" that the ship hit right in the middle of the pylon with the center of its bow (dude, the dredged channel limited its drift).

  7. Looking at the momentum built up by the cargo ship hitting the bridge in Baltimore.

    The total weight of the ship+max cargo is 423.958 million pounds. The ship was traveling at 9.2 mph. That means the cargo ship’s momentum was 1,742,467,380 pounds•meters/second.

  8. If you don’t know, the Key Bridge was a toll bridge so if the message was passed, the opportunity to close down traffic relatively quickly was possible and clearly took place.

  9. Talk about Effective Communications. The MD governor reported the ship called a mayday and the traffic going onto the bridge was stopped before the collapse.

    No sense of how much time passed or when the mayday was called in relation to the collapse, but it couldn't have been very long.

    Strong work! Strong Communications!

  11. The Key Bridge collapse is a disaster for Baltimore. Guessing all the shipping will be rerouted to the other major East Coast ports. But those jobs will be lost to Baltimore. Not to mention the logistical nightmare of rerouting all that traffic.

    Long-term, they’ll rebuild that bridge, a long time coming, and there will be a lot of jobs that go along with that.

    But a terrible day for the city. 😐

  12. MD Governor reported the ship called a MAYDAY and officials were able to stop many vehicles prior to impact and collapse

  15. CBS News Reporting news release from POTUS indicating White House is monitoring news from Baltimore and that there is no indication at this time that this was an act of terrorism and it appears to be an accident.

  17. I went to map view of Vessel Finder and it shows what registered rescue boats etc, are in the area right now #Bridge

    Good luck and safe travels to these first responders.

  18. Waking up to find out the #KeyBridge collapsed. Tragic for the human cost, surreal to lose an iconic landmark.

    The bridge had been around since 1977. I have to wonder if the designers then didn't anticipate the size of ships today, or if there was some other systemic cause.
