I totally blame the Biden administration for this.
Shame on Biden for not personally designing this bridge in the 70s to sustain impact from a loaded container ship
Imagine that a bridge charges tolls. Meaning no federal money. It charges each vehicle to use it. It has insurance. Hopefully a pile of money saved up as well from tolls. Then the leader of the free world says we need this fixed. I’ll pay for it. Yeah makes zero sense.
Yes he should have Been on the ship steering it, as well as in the engine room to ensure the motors were working.
How many votes to replace the bridge were shutdown prior to this?
I’ve heard many.
Built ford tough.
Who passed the law of gravity?
Gravity is only a theory.
What I don’t understand is why a ship crashing into one of the piers wasn’t a part of the spec. Why was the bridge not built to withstand something like this. If you allow ships to sail anywhere near it, shouldn’t you reasonably assume that one might crash into it?
My guess is the bridge was built in 1977. It wasn’t designed to withstand a hit from a modern ship which is much heavier.
Ships at the time weren’t these mammoths we have today.
Ask a Bridge Engineer
I guarantee you that in the next 2-5 years well find out it was planned. Whatever agenda as going on behind the scenes will eventually come to light.
So, you’re saying the ship hit just one of the bridges many Achilles heels?
They steered that ship straight into the bridge. Trumps fault, right?
Not Trump’s fault, but 91% of the American public was hoping he was on it.

You mean on the bridge right not the ship
All I hear is people talking about the bridge what about the people in the water at the moment when it happened I don’t see no divers Looking for them
No one in the ship was injured. They knew they were going to crash and had sent out a distress call
Russia getting some get back for the recent attack
Lies, damed lies, and statistics
This is all way to convenient especially when you’re given a bird’s eye view and see how long they had to not hit the Achilles heel of this vital bridge blocking a vital port.
Way “too” convenient 👍
Yes, if you knock a pillar away, it weakens the support, which causes a bridge to fail.
Was there any drivers on the bridge
Imagine if that was the Long Beach bridge, the green one, there’s two. Dude that’s the tallest bridge I have ever been on in my life, thankfully this happened really early in the morning and wasn’t rush hour
Incompetent crew …start there.
Well beings the ship is there you may as well weld up the legs for the new bridge,make it a permanent fixture,get some use out of it
Couldnt they find someone with fluent English to explain this better? I still dont know what the point of this explanation was, except that the bridge was “not designed to span for the distance”! Yours, confusedly.
Ingles por favor 😊
I’m sure he’s a great civil engineer but for the love of god get one without the accent. Very thick. No understandee
