He has multiple accusations on him and could be joining his old mate R-Kelly in jail eventually I'd think
He wasn’t going to Baltimore was he?

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

Well, the Baltimore tragedy soon faded into oblivion, I wonder why?

I think we are over loaded with information and it's got to the point where most of the time we see/hear something and our reaction is "next.......".

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.

Imagine if that had been rush hour.
Don’t know the city but I imagine that has left a logistical nightmare.

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".

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.

They were filling potholes one minute and swimming in a metal infested sea the next.
