i've actually been under it, on a cruise to bermuda. it's got a lot of clearance.I've been across that bridge a few times. It's scary under the best of conditions.
Wanna see some real final destination shit? This is a pretty famous crash on the opening lap of the Indy 500 back in the 90s. That's Stan Foxx and yes his car literally ripped in half and was spinning through the catch fence at 200 miles per hour with his legs hanging out. He survived this crash. But then he died a few years later off the track in a straight up car accident in Australia.Some final destination type stuff.
Anyone who wasn’t concussed in the collapse and made it out of their cars to get to oxygen would have swam to shore by now. Always someone who defies the odds.that water is likely in the mid 40s.
Have you been in 40 degree water? I'm not saying it isn't possible, but we had to shut down our city pool at 65 degrees when gas was being curtailed because it quickly becomes unsafe below that, and 65 was fkin cold when I was in it.Anyone who wasn’t concussed in the collapse and made it out of their cars to get to oxygen would have swam to shore by now.

Guess they should have loaded that steering control computer update.1200ft wide span and the ship looked like it just drilled the pillar straight on. Unless there was a complete failure of the ship’s steering systems, that almost seems like it had to be deliberate.
It’s 48 right now. Cold as all get out, but it could be done. Life or death, it’s not that far for everyone, some would have been closer to shore.Have you been in 40 degree water?

You fall from that height into mid 40s spring/winter water littered with bridge debris and the odds are highly against you.
I mentioned the Skyway collapse in Tampa in another post. In that case the one survivor that went over the edge was a retired navy guy that credited that training for escaping his truck and surviving.Anyone who wasn’t concussed in the collapse and made it out of their cars to get to oxygen would have swam to shore by now.

Big ass bridge. Horrifying to think of that just giving out as you were out in the middle.
I was at that 500! had seats right at the end of pit row via a buddy's father in law, who was cfo of a trucking company. no one thought he was coming out aliveWanna see some real final destination shit?

Does that not look like it turned right into the support?
Could be done but it would be single digit survivors that could pull that off.It’s 48 right now. Cold as all get out, but it could be done. Life or death, it’s not that far for everyone, some would have been closer to shore.
The power fluctuations probably prevented a correction to the steering.Does that not look like it turned right into the support?
They probably used the same "bombs" on that bridge as the ones that brought down the towers /sThat bridge just seemed to come down too easily.
Wait for some clown to go on Fox Network and say someone crossed the Southern Border, commandeered the ship and rammed the bridge!I am thinking a 9/11 type scenario
Probably filing a claim against the owner of the ship that hit the bridge right now.how'd you like to be the cargo ship that just finished loading or unloading, and was due to be next out of port.
MTG more likely than boebertWait for some clown to go on Fox Network and say someone crossed the Southern Border, commandeered the ship and rammed the bridge!
MTG or Boobert?
Oh, I wasn’t implying that at all. Just wondering about the design.They probably used the same "bombs" on that bridge as the ones that brought down the towers /s
it's been in use since 1977 but it's hard to fathom to weight of a sea liner smacking right into the side of the main supportThat bridge just seemed to come down too easily.
Didn't mean you were - but I know someone will be claiming that soon enoughOh, I wasn’t implying that at all. Just wondering about the design.
Maybe just 1. Odds if not being concussed on impact or severely injured almost zero many. That’s a monster fall, high velocity impact, for most. People nearer to shore in very specific locations where the freefall was impeded and less distance to swim.Could be done but it would be single digit survivors that could pull that off.
alleged accident is technically correct but kind of sus.God bless Fox News. I was on the treadmill at 6:30 and flipped to their coverage because they still do live events pretty well, but was sadly not shocked when Steve Douchey called it an "alleged accident", and someone asked why there hadn't been a statement from Joe Biden, and why wasn't Pete Buttigieg on the scene already?
Captain Hazelwood hasn't been located yet...wtf? How drunk was the captain?
Probably not. Maritime law will be invoked, and losses will likely be limited to the value of the ship itself. Pensacola just went through this with Skanska after their construction barges got loose and destroyed large sections of the newly built bridge between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze.I mean, wouldn't this bankrupt the shipping company. I can't fathom the cost of rebuilding a 1.6 mile bridge.
The FBI has already announced there’s no specific or credible information to anything suspicious and the White House said there’s nothing nefarious going on.Does that not look like it turned right into the support?
Bobbert has her hands full.MTG more likely than boebert

Legit concern. I would NEVER go over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge to this day.Oh, I wasn’t implying that at all. Just wondering about the design.
Looks like the work of systemic racism to me.

A 95,000 ton ship will do that.That bridge just seemed to come down too easily.
Those are OPs mom level dimensions.A 95,000 ton ship will do that.
It was constructed by the Korean Hyundai shipyard in 2015 and is 300 metres long (985 feet), 48 metres wide and 24.8 metres tall, with gross tonnage of 95,000 tonnes, making it an average-sized container ship.
