Drove past this dump this morning, bearing in mind, it's been done up since last time I went there.

Re: General Chat
I’ve just seen 2 were pulled out & 4 or maybe 6 still missing. The boat lost all power. I actually thought in those sort of narrow areas there were often tug boats guiding the big ships.
So they were workers fixing potholes supposedly.

A horrific freak accident.
Re: General Chat
From the BBC website
The president says it is vital that the bridge is up and running as soon as possible.
The Port of Baltimore, he says, is one of the nation's largest shipping hubs.
"It handled a record amount of cargo last year. It's also the top port in America in both imports and exports of automobiles," he says, adding that 800,000 vehicles go through that port every single year.
He also says 15,000 jobs "depend on that port, and we're going to do everything we can to protect those jobs".

Re: General Chat
It seems the captain of the ship was able to send a ‘mayday warning’ so they were able to stop traffic going on to the bridge.
Could have been much, much worse.

Luckily they just had time to stop all traffic, otherwise it could have been far far worse.
