I feel like there’s some kind of optical illusion and there’s more of a gap than appears.

That looks like the Lincoln tunnel which is 13' tall but does allow tractor-trailers unlike the holland tunnel.

Also you'd need quite the bombsight and streamlined casket to make sure the body got anywhere near the hole, assuming you're talking about a regular grave sized hole. Most likely instead the body would smash into some of the attendees and it would be a surprise C-C-C-COMBO FUNERAL.

Laser-guided coffin ofc.

The bmw lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

:shrug: this was at an intersection of a 25mph road and a 35 mph road.

OceanGate will take advantage of lessons learned during the construction of its carbon-hulled Titan submersible, which was originally built for Titanic journeys. Rush said tests that were conducted at the Deep Ocean Test Facility in Annapolis, Md., revealed that the Titan’s hull “showed signs of cyclic fatigue.” As a result, the hull’s depth rating was reduced to 3,000 meters.

“Not enough to get to the Titanic,” Rush said.

You dry aged it, then you roast it. Or don't - I had 90-day dry aged beef carpaccio at a fancy Italian joint once.

I was just wondering this, how much alert they were able to get out. First loss of power (presumably, who knows if they were dealing with any smaller issues on-board ahead of the apparent full-power-outage) to bridge strike was like four and a half minutes? Only so much local authorities could do to make it safe

Going by Google maps there are variable message signs on either end so presumably if you gave the dot enough warning they could switch them to a bridge closed sort of message. Not very helpful for anyone on the bridge but maybe they were able to stop a few minutes worth of traffic?
