My apologies for the Twitter link. Appears to have happened around 1:30 EDT, judging from the timestamp in the video. Seems unsurprising that Amerikkkan infrastructure is in this dire of a state (at the cost of innocent people's lives, as usual), but I'd still love to know what the hell happened here. Hopefully the early hour meant that more people weren't harmed.

jesus
also this bridge is a massively important part of keeping the entire east coast functioning. the tragedy of the people who were on it is obviously more important, but this is a massive disaster, like holy shit. the number of people this bridge is important to?
Reminds me of how
talks about the social value of bridges in bullshit jobsRedundancy and overflow management is communism
It’s a major artery for Baltimore traffic. It’s going to massively fuck traffic patterns for the city for the foreseeable future. I’m very thankful that this happened at 1:30, because of that hit during morning rush hour, so many more people would’ve lost their lives.

5-10 years if they can even bother to try and rebuild it, or permanently if they cancel the project half way through which is entirely possible if they decide it's already killed the businesses and life of the city in a few years.
America bombs Russia and Palestine I could care less, its karma.
Ah yes, a night-shift construction worker in Baltimore trying to feed and house themself and their family deserves to pay for America's foreign policy.
There are a lot of good people in Baltimore. AFAIK relatively high number of leftists. Remember they all marched in the wake of Freddie Gray’s murder.
I wish I could believe in karma, because America deserves far, far, FAR more than this.
Karma in the proper sense takes effect after you die, not before.
Frank Sobotka didn't die so you could spit on his grave like this.
So youre a catholic then
