Bridges like bright lights and loud noises, so they're hoping if they make some nice loud and pretty explosions they might be able to tempt another bridge over to take the old bridges place.

It's one of those things that's pretty unlikely to work, but you always want to try anyway before going to all the hassle of bring a new bridge into this world.

Breed some giant spiders and have them spin a hyper strong bridge that will also be able to catch errant ships and planes before they can damage the span.

If they want to destroy the bridge further, wouldn't it be easier to just crash more ships into it?

There is no escape, if you spend the night in Dundalk you are assigned a row house, a pt cruiser, and a wife named Ms. Rhonda who regularly uses the word suposably.

crashing a boat is like the awkwardness of having to wait by your crashed car after getting into an accident while waiting for the cops to show up, except much slower.

Edgemere/sparrows point is the exact same except that everyone pretends they're fancier despite being covered in black grime from the factories around what used to be the steel mill.

Also, I say bring back the streetcar service that used to cross the bay to the Point instead of a car bridge. Some of the old right of way and abutments are still around. we can just add a separate cargo car to carry the hazmat.

The crew accommodations on ships lake that I believe are generally pretty decent. Nothing luxury but people have spacious private rooms with en suite bathrooms, internet, plenty of storage, a chef preparing meals, full gyms, DVD libraries, etc.

Not the Four Seasons but also probably not your first apartment out of college.

I doubt they are chilling. They are probably super pissed they get the job of taking care of a ship and it's cargo while having a bridge on it and not going anywhere indefinitely. I bet you some of the cre had this as their last trip before off time. Do we have any word if any progress has been made as far as power issues on the ship itself?

The ship's crew is as I understand it mostly from the Subcontinent, so a mix of indian, tamil, bangladeshi typical for Singapore who extensively recruit in those regions for migrant laborers, hundreds of thousands that the country relies on for all construction and maintenance work. (They have marginally less unethical practices than Dubai and the laborers retain their passports for example.) I stayed for a few years in Singapore's "Little India" district where all the migrant workers come to eat and drink on Sundays where they don't have to stay at their worksite dormitories. Let me tell you, the food there is just fantastic. Singapore is excruciatingly dull but so am I and one of the reasons I haven't left yet is I don't know if I'd be able to get an authentic 3am roti prata anywhere else in the English speaking world.

If they took a close look at the cargo manifest, I bet they could find enough items from the different containers still on board to construct some form of landing pinnace.
