Anybody in or near ST Louis I keep expecting the I70 bridge to fall apart. I see The I55 bridge at Memphis is open again. IMO the I70 bridge at St Louis is in worse shape. I quit crossing it.

The ship looks like it turned too soon as it wasnt driving straight at the bridge. I would wonder if it was a autopilot/autonav error. https://x.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1772561099977548058?s=20 http://www.sniperstrappingplace.com/tmansearch.php
