How's that project coming? Is the bridge being repaired or replaced? Anybody in the know?

Huh?
Brooklyn bridge?
Hit by the Mexican ship?
It was a few wooden masts, don't believe the bridge suffered any damage.

Now, if you're talking about the one in Baltimore, well, that's going to be a few years

That thing has been hit so many times. There wasnt any damage so I assumed he was talking about the Scott Key bridge

On the Baltimore bridge.......did they ever give a reason why the boat hit the bridge? Bridge is gone, boat is gone, crew long gone. Still no word on how or why it happened. At least none I'm aware of.

Am wondering how many times that ship, plus all sister ships just like her, or any others for that matter, have suffered the same type of loss of power and steerage? Factoring that in, am wondering what the odds are that it would happen at exact moment needed to steer ship to starboard......not to port......in nick of time to hit a key transportation bridge? When the odds become astronomically so large as to be impossible to chalk up to coincidence or chance.........well...............

Musta been the Baltimore bridge I'm thinking of. Wasn't aware of the Brooklyn Bridge mishap. It was more than a bump. It was taking people an extra 45 minutes each way to get around it.

That's odd. Sure scared the gull. That's a Dukes of Hazard bridge.

I was just coming here to post about the explosion today near the Baltimore bridge after seeing the post earlier today.

I've watched that video way too much.
Why did they only drop the right anchor, and not both anchors ?
Once the ship turned right, the smoke turned black and headed right for the bridge abutment .
Not sorry, but IMHO it was sabotage.
