Supposedly he jumped up there from the runway, according to the pilots on the ATC recordings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wsOqoHbuiI

Maryland Public Television had a similar lineup, britcoms from 8-11, then red green at 11, red dwarf at 11:30, and doctor who starting at midnight.

Probably for the aluminum/copper content. I imagine that's why the wiring harness also gets separated out.

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Cameras are everywhere now. Finding someone to get the footage is the hard part. Nothing wondrous about that. I've had a camera pointed at and recording idiot drivers at the 3-way stop outside my apartment for over a year and just have a whole list of timestamps I need to go back and pull clips from. It's enough content for a whole youtube channel, I just haven't had the time to edit it all.

Someone just sailed right through the other day and almost hit me. I'm just going to avoid that stretch from now on. What's the next level up from a stop sign? Stop, One Way, and emergency vehicles mean nothing to most people. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bG1pVPQnMI

When they announced they were shutting down because a fire caused some damage I was assuming some smouldering, maybe a little flame, not...this. https://twitter.com/wjz/status/1732905327035617502

I think it's 6 but the governor said it was moving at 8 when it collided. Either way it's a fuckload of momentum. I punched these numbers in based on what was said at that press conference and yeah I don't think they designed it to handle a 788887. Compared to the WTC that pillar was a toothpick, and you're throwing about 4 times as much energy into it? The channel is far more important than the bridge at this point. The two tunnels are already congested and aren't going to become completely gridlocked by the normal commuter traffic, and for trucks passing through on 95 that can't use the tunnels, going the other way around 695 is about the same distance and has no tolls (but generally higher traffic).

Megillah Gorilla posted:I saw a reddit post last night (that I can't find right now, so grain of salt and all that) saying that the same ship had a power failure last year and slowly hit a dock somewhere else in the world. From https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/transportation/dali-cargo-ship-hits-baltimore-bridge-QY2M32XFPRDMHM34RKVPK3TR3Y/: quote:The vessel was built by Hyundai in 2015. Of the 27 inspections for Dali logged in an online database maintained by Electronic Quality Shipping Information System, two noted deficiencies. In 2016, one report logged damage on the hull’s ship. That year, Dali hit a stone wall while unmooring at the Port of Antwerp. The vessel reportedly sustained minor damages and was detained for repairs. In June, another inspection found problems with “propulsion and auxiliary machinery.”

The distance is actually shorter (by about a mile) going around the west side, but the traffic is generally much worse. There's a reason most of the east side is 2 lanes and they're currently adding a 5th in parts of the west.

Looks to be on Fort Armistead Rd leading up to the last on-ramp to the beltway before the bridge. There is literally nothing past the onramp that would be open at night.

One of the things I've been trying to research (unsuccessfully so far) is why they went with one of the longest truss spans in the world over any other option. I suspect the main factors were some combination of "cost", "cable stayed bridges weren't the go-to design yet", and "there's a steelworks 1/4 mile away". The channel itself is also less wide than the central span: So it was as wide as it needed to be. Modern cable-stayed designs can have spans longer than not only the longest span of the truss (1/4 mile) but the entire width of the waterway (1 mile)*, and you can go even longer with suspension. Any serious study on the replacement bridge design is going to look at the balance between the costs of protective structures and a longer unsupported span. If they can build a replacement 1/4 mile span + sufficient dolphins for less than it costs to build the 1 mile span and no dolphins, they probably will. Another factor is the height of the bridge itself. Not only to let tall ships pass through, but vehicles need to go up and down to get over the bridge, and you can't have that slope be too steep, and there's only so much land either side of the bridge where you can raise the highway. *Assuming you count the causeway portion of the bridge complex as land

The alternate route, going around the west side of the beltway, is actually about a mile shorter for traffic passing through on 95. The problem is the west side has much more traffic, to the point where they're adding a 5th lane in some places, while most of the east side (including the bridge) is 2 lanes. There's a few reasons for this, mostly that there's just more people on the west side, but also people in the east side suburbs have more reasonable options for going into the city, including 95 itself, 895, and US routes 1 and 40, and to a lesser extent a number of surface roads. From the most populated areas of the west side there's just 40 and maybe Liberty Road. Through-travellers on 95 that aren't large/hazmat trucks also choose the west side over the east because there's no tolls - all three harbor crossings on the east side had tolls. From what I've seen and heard over the past couple days, it's looking like the daily traffic impact from losing the bridge isn't going to be as big of a deal as most people were thinking. Also I think most people in Baltimore are very aware what the problem with putting hazmats through tunnels is.

As far as I can tell no one's really checking especially since they went to electronic tolling.
