  11. This is what "Build Back Better" looks like in Biden's "Democrat" run America. Bring back Trump quickly! He understands construction. Democrats only understand destruction, war, conflict, and economic chaos.

  16. 😢😢 very sad my thoughts are with everyone especially the rescuers and emergency services they worked none stopped since this happened and the divers as well a massive credit to them i hope they get the recognition they all deserve and a medal and some time of afterwards. They are doing a fabulous job working hours and hours searching for people. Thank you all so much hats off to you all sending you my love to all of you involved ❤❤

  18. I feel very bad for everyone who was affected.. but with the way things are going on with Gaza the way media and politicians brushed off the deaths of 1000s has like brought everything into a new standard. Like it feels like low no. Of casualties is not significant. It feels all so wrong specially whn you know in your heart that even the death of 1 person is 1 too many.

  19. according to a mearsk wistleblower the mearsk crew was effected by alcohol and a unsafe work enviroment on this container ship thats maybe why it went wrong also the bridge was poorly designed in my opinion im no engieneer but that bridge looked weak as hell

  21. That boat weghed 213 million lbs. Traveling at around 9 miles per hour. Stopping that thing would have been harder than stopping a freight train from hitting a car stuck on the tracks.

  22. All those hard earned USA workers tax dollars going to the fascist and apartheid state of Israel and the american public with outdated domestic infrastructure. Is it possible to make this make sense?

  24. surprisingvthat usa is not examining attack on ship controlmsystem by overtaking its computers. it is pisdiblevthiscwas just a trst before bkadting bridhges all iver usa through multiple methods before november 5.

  31. I would think that, when constructing and designing a bridge, you would factor in a partial collapse scenario, and not let it go down like a house of cards.

  32. I was here on the very day when i was smoking at the railings, get off after that then next after that all I hear was some huge creaking noises at my back, looked at it my jaw drop as I saw baltimore bridge collapsed. Good thing, I didn't drink my alcohol at that time or ill be drunken messed and fell to the bridge.

  36. As i understand it, the carrier or the ship owner were covered by insurance.

    Lloyd's of London a consortium of insuance underwriters believes this claim may exceed 4 Billion US$. Will the US govt be re-imbersed for the replacement bridge?, If so what is all the discord in congress about?

  43. So the US regime spends millions of $$ in keeping more than 500 military bases in other countries but apparently cannot afford a navigation system for container ships. USA and their lovely capitalism, LoL. pathetic
