Why tf did they build the bridge on the water, where the boats are??? What did they expect would Happen???

No way to avoid this, says only place (the water) where this happens.

Lots of talk about the ship captain here, but where is the bridge captain in all of this? Takes two to tango.

This video is a short summary of the building of the bridge and where the funding might come from to replace it.

Can't the government just confiscate the sex arses on the ship and use them for funding a new bridge? (Either by selling them or by using them to furnish a grand sex arse brothel.)

Uh, no, overstating the impact is easy, watch:

The collapse of this bridge is as bad as the collapse of two bridges of equal importance.

The funny thing is if a disgruntled low paid crew member really did want to do something like this on purpose or just went bananas it would be exceptionally easy to do. There’s really nothing stopping someone taking emergency control of the steering gear away from the bridge and yoloing into the side of the suez or something.

Could blockchain solve this?

I can't believe all of USAs cargo traffic went over a single bridge in Baltimore.

gently caress the bridge, bridges are lame, how long will it take to rebuild the ship? Ships are great.

Edit: replace bridge with some ships!

The ship has clearly proven itself to be higher in the food chain.

I would not bet on bridges in the future.

Bridge collapsed, impossible to do anything about that. But a second tragedy is that the ship has been stuck ever since, delaying important sex arse cargo I hear. Can we fix bridge and ship designs such that when (not if) collisions occur, the ship can at least continue after a few minutes, rather than wasting everybody's time?

The most recent messages in that livestream chat pointed out that the crew is still on the boat, not allowed to leave until the investigation is complete. That makes sense, but is pretty brutal for them.

This is fair only if the people on the bridge & in the water are also not allowed to leave.

If anything they're probably stoked they still have passable internet and light duties.

Why are they using explosives? I thought we needed more bridge, not less.

They’re destroying the bridge so that it can be replaced by an NFT of equal value.

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