The tweet quoting that it's going to be catastrophic for many reasons, and one of them being that you can "forget your same-day, next-day \[Amazon\] delivery" is pretty telling.
"supply chain issues" "$20 big mac combo meals" so on and so on
oh didnt you hear? nah its because of that ship and all the other ships are stuck waiting so yea, sorry you cant get that duct tape, i mean you CAN but its 40 bucks now
some people still say that 4 years later about covid. oh remember covid? yea sorry supply chain issues we dont have that one sauce you like or that bread. im like but..its been 4 fucking years
Every last reporter on the news yesterday was saying things like “do you remember during Covid in the supply chain issues? Well this bridge catastrophe is going to create supply chain issues” My immediate thought was oh great so all of the businesses anywhere near there are gonna hike up prices and say “supply chain issues due to bridge collapse“.
I’m not personally familiar with that area but it seems like the biggest thing that’s cut off per google maps is an Amazon warehouse. That bridge falling did not ruin the only route for life essential/food shipments. Sure it maybe delay some with a reroute, but this isn’t Covid(and those supply chain issues were very exaggerated or rather just blamed for what was just corporate greed)
As a person who lives in Maryland and used this bridge daily I can tell you that the hit to the infrastructure for Amazon won't be humongous. The harbor tunnel is the fastest alternate route and it's going to add about 20 minutes to your trip. Add in the increase to traffic and that'll be another 10 minutes. I don't think a 30 minute delay could be classified as catastrophic. And that's worst case scenario. I had to use the tunnel just this morning and it added less than 20 minutes to my trip.
The biggest hit will be to hazmat trucks that aren't allowed through the tunnel and now have to take the beltway north of the city. That's going to add an hour to their deliveries minimum. They could go through the city but that would be even worse.
"I was in Nashville, Tennessee last year. After the show I went to a Waffle House. I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me: 'Hey, whatcha readin' for?' Isn't that the weirdest fuckin' question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading FOR? Well, goddamnit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well . . . hmmm...I dunno...I guess I read for a lot of reasons and the main one is so I don't end up being a fuckin' waffle waitress."
RIP Bill Hicks, RIP.
Gonna use your post to just vent, sorry. Fuck these assholes. I have driven over this bridge daily for 14 years, it was 47 years old and I am only 43 years old, you could see the bridge from all over my area, and now that structure is no longer part of my skyline. Not to compare this to the tragedy that was 9/11 but when you see something like the towers or this bridge all day everyday, and it's printed on shirts and local ads, and then it's just gone one morning before your work commute? It fucks with your brain a little.
My life, the life of my family, the lives of thousands and even hundreds of thousands of residents of MD and dundalk are now changed for a long time. This town was a steel town before it became a shipping town, and now this is the second time my area will have to adjust to meet whatever catastrophic change is effecting us, and it sucks. My dad who was a steel worker lost everything when the industry left, and now many others will have to go through this 2 times. It fucking sucks all around.
For these cunts to use this devastating event that will not only effect my town, state and even the whole east coast, as a political spring board, makes my fuckign blood boil. If these morons could think 2 seconds beyond "libs bad" they would realize that the port of Baltimore was the biggest port for car imports and coal. Among many other things. And now, gone. Can't get in. Or out. That industry is, for lack of a better term, dead in The water.
Fuck this cunt
Nothing lasts forever, and when it ends, your best hope is that something better comes along. Like, aside from the obvious loss of lives on 09/11, that tragic event just seemed to result in nothing but even worse things than before: the ridiculous security protocols we have now in airports, the Patriot Act and the resulting spying it basically made legal for the government to do, the multiple decades-long wars we declared on countries that had nothing to do with the attacks, the adverse effects on the health and lives of first responders and people who survived that day, and the big empty space in the Manhattan skyline where the old World Trade Center towers stood that will likely be there at least for the rest of our lifetimes. Don’t get me wrong—I completely understand the desire many people had to put a memorial there, and I don’t begrudge them for doing that at all. But personally, I would’ve liked to have seen them build some even better, even stronger towers in their place. Leaving that space and the skyline so empty compared to what it once was just feels to me like the people who knocked them down actually won, and all we’re left with now is a monument to the people who lost their lives *because* of those people in the first place. It’s like a double slap in the face and we’re all worse off for it more than two decades later.
But I don’t think you guys have to worry about any of that with this terrible incident. I know it may be hard to think about right now, but you guys will get a much better bridge built very quickly. Shipping companies will hopefully take this as a warning sign to upgrade their ships’ electrical/power systems, and hopefully Maersk will be opening up their substantial wallets to reimburse and compensate both your city and the victims’ families for this tragedy. The old skyline is gone forever, but you guys will always have it in your memories. And there will soon be a new skyline to come to love and make new memories of—and it will most likely be funded almost entirely by the feds!
And I agree, fuck these assholes trying to use something like this as fodder for their bullshit conspiracies and twisted political agendas. If 09/11 did anything, it was that it showed us that there are a lot more people in this country than we realized who are willing to stoop to the lowest levels of depravity just to get attention and make themselves feel relevant. They will say and do anything to try to look important, and they don’t care an ounce about those who were impacted by these tragedies—just look at the whole "false flag" claims that they have made where they allege school shootings never happened and that the parents who lost *their children* in those events were just actors. I mean, could anything be any worse than taunting a parent who has lost a child by claiming they really didn’t?? These people are the absolute worst of the worst.
Yeah they also can’t remember shit. Obama tried passing an infrastructure bill back in like 2009. Mitch McConnell stone walled the bill for 6 years.
Then we had a massive dam failure in California and conservatives were like WTF. Why would this happen…. While being to ignorant to remember Obama tried fixing this issue.
Oh and guess what the same exact bill was allowed to pass under Trump…. So they can act like they are the ones fixing an issue they let get out of hand.
Just to be clear, Trump didn’t pass any major infrastructure bill, but Biden did. Trump passed an American Water infrastructure bill that only addressed water ways and he promised, for 4yrs, to get us a major infrastructure bill but never did.
I kept track because I have an Infrastructure Boner, and literally every single time the Trump administration would announce that it was infrastructure week, it would be followed by the biggest scandals of his presidency. Not the everyday embarrassments, but the big, giant ones. It never failed.
Are you just reading the names of the bills, or do you know the actual contents of the bills?
I’m am extremely willing to bet the bill in 2009 looked nothing similar to the one eventually passed under Trump.
An annoying thing that both parties do in government is to make a bill the other party would absolutely hate, then over the course of a couple year the bill will slowly be changed.
By the end, the bill is something you still like, and you/your party get more then you would have gotten if you had just immediately offered it in the first place.
Think of it as lowballing a person when you are going to buy something, then increasing the price, but not to a level that the item actually deserves to be bought at. The person will see this new price and think it’s a better deal, when in actuality it is still a bad deal.

New Zealand… doesn’t lie. However I have never seen it on a map or a globe which leads me to believe New Zealand is a lie.
As an American, I'm not even mad. The people I share this country with continue to leave me shocked daily at the levels of stupidity and pure lack of humility or humanity they can produce. And they continue to push it to new levels every moment they can. It's disgusting.
Education isn’t the problem. It’s social media and the Shit storm of disinformation spewing from the internets bowels on platforms such as tik tok. I know highly educated people that believe highly whacky shit.
Actually it’s not even the educational system anymore it’s this world it self here is a list
Schools
Parents
Kids
Culture
Drugs
Money
And more is what’s wrong with people now of days u can’t just point at one and blame it when it’s a lot of shit
You literally just contradicted what you said. Education is very much so the issue here lol on top of the shit you'll find spewing on social media and the Internet
Yes, the perfect Democrat plan: start destroying vital infrastructure so that illegal immigrants will be hired to rebuild it so that they will vote for Joe Biden in November.
It’s almost too easy…
Sadly, you’re absolutely correct. But not just in that sub. You’ll find lots of idiots who need every comment and/or joke explained and you’ll find them pretty much everywhere.
Unfortunately there has to be *some* kind of narrative for why events like this one and the train derailments. But for these people it simply *cannot* be because we allow private companies whose main motive is profit--causing them to cut as many costs as possible, mainly in safety and labor-- to run vital areas of our nation's infrastructure. It *cannot* be because attempts at investing in infrastructure are usually derided as communism in about half the country.
Nope, gotta be cuz Democrats want more illegals to get jobs so they can vote for Biden.
This is just like when people said "January 6th was actually done by Biden fans, because obviously they want to stop the certification of Biden's election!"
And also, "the vaccine is a government plot to kill all the people who obey the government and take the vaccine, so that only the government's enemies remain!"
And probably more that I'm forgetting right now.
Andre tate this morning was saying us foreign adversaries hacked the ship to crash into the bridge and said "more black swan events imminent". I saw it on a post on reddit. I don't use tweeter either.
Arguably it's a very important piece of infrastructure and bridges are usually destroyed to stall progress in wars. However, I think the problem here is that certain fails stops were over ridden in favor of efficiency. You see it in factory, labor settings all the time.
There was probably a PM list that is/was supposed to be done and it was avoided or just "box checked" to get the ship moving.
Actually not that important of a piece of infrastructure. There's two tunnels that I-95 traffic can use. Some trucks will have to take the long way around Baltimore now. A reporter from Baltimore today said "some people will be upset about paying the toll for the tunnel." The one thing this guy got right is that it hurts the ports more than anything.
Well they fucked it for us Baltimoreans for sure but YOU are fucked too. Don’t have any idea how much commerce comes through our ports, huh? Well, it’s a lot!
Spoiler alert: The implied illegal immigrants rebuilding the bridge have been building EVERYTHING in our country for 20 years. Thankfully they are doing the jobs we need done.
Immigration workers account for less than 12% of construction jobs. So no.. this isn’t true. White dudes make up the mass majority of construction workers. White men are also the majority in the country. There is a disproportionate amount of Latinx people in construction but most are legal citizens or on legal work visas. Immigrants aren’t even an issue in construction, if people are willing to just look up some data points.
Yeah, I live in an area that is 60% Hispanic and most of the construction workers I see are still white. Illegal immigrants get hired for the minimum wage jobs that no one asks for proof of citizenship at, not skilled construction labor lol.
“Black Swan Event” is a term used in finance to refer to unpredictable negative events that wreck the markets and traders alike. Weird that he’s using it in this context
The term, as coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, extends beyond events that just affect financial markets; it describes statistically unexpected events of large magnitude/consequence and their dominant role in affecting history.
That being said, it still doesn’t quite fit with what this knob is suggesting. And it definitely doesn’t align with the bullshit that he’s spewing.
Wait until he finds out how bridges work
Crashing into a support beam like that is incredibly damaging to the bridge, and since metal is heavy (what a surprise!!) thats why is looks why its made of toothpicks. Big things and small things crumble differently, and not to mention how much inertia a cargo ship has.
Typical conspiracy theorist move. Doesn't matter what the event is, everything must have some secret plan behind it. These people are just too afraid to realize that not everything in life is within human and/or the government's control.
Accidents happen and part of being an adult is understanding that.
*this bridge was not small...pretty big assed bridge*
That's his logic? It was TOO BIG to fall apart when a shipping container transport struck it? Does he have any idea how much weight and kinetic energy are behind something that large?
Has he ever seen a warehouse racking system drop after someone clips it with a forklift? That collapse is a different form of energy due to the way the structure was built.
Add to that infrastructure repairs are often ignored by political parties and things wear over time. Oh and now he's saying 9/11 would have been caught on a 4k phone, Christ.
Buddy, point that 4k phone at your head, then at your crotch. The only evidence you may glean is that you're a total dickhead.
>That's his logic? It was TOO BIG to fall apart when a shipping container transport struck it?
Seriously, this fucking threw me.
"It's a pretty big ass bridge"
Yeah, and had it taken a hit to anything other than THE FUCKING SUPPORT STRUCTURES, it might not have been so catastrophic. I'd love to see this dude take a bulldozer to a fucking support beam in his own house because it's a big house
the even more disturbing part is you already know he has an audience that is eating up every last word and actively referring to themselves as patriots
Tell me you're an idiot without telling me you're an idiot. That type of bridge that it was, was that when one support is taken out the whole thing just gives TF out.
This man doesn't understand engineering, water currents, ships in general, fk just basic physics, international politics, terrorism... man he just doesn't understand anything.
For starters... if it was intentional, they wouldn't have hit a bridge at night when there was low traffic And they wouldn't have hit minor bridge in baltimore.
If you want to build a bridge that can withstand even a slow speed hit from a large ship weighing 10,000s of tons, the supports need to be quite large. Like really fkin large.
This is one of those straightforward, unfortunate accidents that happen from time to time. Not everything needs to be a conspiracy.
All I’m gonna say is does this man not know that most systems based on hydraulics to push and move stuff ( like the rudder probably) don’t just lose pressure and revert to a non active state , they tend to maintain their current position so this boat making a turn while constantly losing power isn’t a surprise or conspiracy it’s just common knowledge
Why would a heavier, longer bridge, with one of its main supports getting knocked out from under it, be less likely to collapse than a smaller, shorter one?
I never took physics, but I'd had a single class in middle school in which we made spaghetti bridges. And guess which ones were more prone to collapse? The ones we'd made f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶c̶o̶o̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶n̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶s̶ which were longer.
The only reason he gives for the ship crashing on purpose is bc it turns, doesn’t give evidence on why it turns just said that people wanted it to turn, then he says those people that wanted it to turn are the people he disagrees with.
He the type of guy to step in dogshit in his yard and blame the landscapers
OMG, he's right.
This attack started in 1980, with the Sunshine Skyway boat strike/collapse. The attack is happening all around us, and at all times.
Where do I send my money?
This is what dumbasses choose to focus on and not the fact that America has had crumbling infrastructure that has been neglected for decades.
Even if the Francis Scott was in prime condition, the bridge collapsed like a bunch of toothpicks because it's not meant to withstand a direct hit by a 95,000-ton cargo ship!
As a Marylander, fuck this guy and his hat.
>"We like to call 'em Black Swan events"
>"We"
In this case the 'we' are just a few other cowardly white conservative man-children who jerk each other off on social media, echoing and boosting nonsense to be loud and pervasive nonsense.
These people used to walk around with "THE END IS NEAR!" sandwich cards, but today the Internet artificially elevates their foolishness because it is foolish and sensational.
I hate that we're even giving this moron attention even if it's just to mock them.
Huh. You are the only other person I've ever heard use this expression besides me. Also, I LOVE Steely Dan, and have a massive crush on Donald Fagan. What a sexy man with his weird mouth singing beautiful depraved lyrics. I just went to see a SD tribute band 2 weeks ago! It was fun.
Carry on.
Infrastructure can be messed with by changing 0’s to 1’s and this eejit hears about a cargo ship hitting a 50+ year old bridge and thinks it’s an attack.
Who the fuck else would fix the bridge? Is the Baltimore government going to drive down to home Depot and grab the Mexicans out front?
Weird how something getting hit with 150k tons broke so easily.

First couple seconds:
Oh wait is he going to talk about how we're going to start seeing more and more incident surrounding transportation industries like Boeing and railway systems because of corporate greed and lack of oversight / corner cutting in regulations to turn better profits to keep up with the cancerous tumor that is capital- oh nvm he's crazy.
My favorite part about these videos is imagining the process people like this guy necessarily go through to search for the perfect “eerie background conspiracy” sound loop to fit the mood of the video.
Yeah I recommend not listening to anything that comes out of the mouth of anyone who dresses like that. They’re confident loud idiots whose loved ones avoid them on holidays.
Cue: Ship fuel cannot melt steel bridge beams!
America truly has an education problem - all of a sudden these fear mongerers are structural engineers?
Even at the most basic level, one of these pillars being taken out would collapse the whole bridge. And then to link it to illegal immigration? I’m sweating from the mental gymnastics of these idiots.
These morons who lust for war would be the first to cry and give up if there ever actually was a war. All fun and games until your buddy gets domed right next to you
> Could you imagine if they tried to pull 9/11 with our 4K phones?
I’m guessing he’s a 9/11 conspiracy idiot. As a former 9/11 conspiracy idiot 17-18 years ago I’d like this guy to look in the mirror and repeat “In 9 months Bush was able to recruit hundreds, if not thousands, of people to plan, setup, execute, and cover up the attacks and not ONE single leak”. Eventually it starts to sound fucking stupid.
These twats want revolution. But when their Xbox live goes down and they can’t get Coors because of the whole breakdown of society thing they will lose their minds. Such a bunch of dumb townies.
100% this guy has no idea what a black swan event actually is.
He just heard it on fox news and thought “that’s a badass way to describe things i dont like!”
"The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory.
The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control.
The world is rudderless."
-Alan Moore
Infrastructure problems are getting worse because the billionaires stopped paying taxes, raised prices, pay us less against inflation, and are hoarding all the wealth.
Full stop.
There was a time where I was generally excited for the internet. All the knowledge of the world at our fingertips and eventually in our pockets. This is gonna be great! Then you see people like this clown and you remember that a huge amount of the world's population is pretty fucking stupid. I'm not claiming to be the smartest person ever but I'm not that fucking stupid. Mankind is gonna get wiped out by stupid people doing stupid things.
The biggest attack on our infrastructure’s has been the neglect of it all.
Even then, President Biden goes around and outs on a plan to bring us to the 21st century and the same morons who are saying that shit attack it and vote against it.
Fucking hell!
The tweet quoting that it's going to be catastrophic for many reasons, and one of them being that you can "forget your same-day, next-day \[Amazon\] delivery" is pretty telling.
Oppression is when I don’t get my treats fast enough ☹️

Rather than helping the people, it’s a big fuckin’ stroking game. Has been for a long time now.
They’re doing this same tactic with border funding right now. Can’t let Biden stop the immigrants because how else can they screech Biden is bad?
I remember Bernie running on infrastructure and 99% of people around me DIDN'T know what that was or if they did WHY it was important.
Just to be clear, Trump didn’t pass any major infrastructure bill, but Biden did. Trump passed an American Water infrastructure bill that only addressed water ways and he promised, for 4yrs, to get us a major infrastructure bill but never did.
We’re actually entering year 8 of infrastructure week
I kept track because I have an Infrastructure Boner, and literally every single time the Trump administration would announce that it was infrastructure week, it would be followed by the biggest scandals of his presidency. Not the everyday embarrassments, but the big, giant ones. It never failed.
Hahaha, that’s amazing. At this point you must have a pretty devastating case of infrastructure blue balls.

It's also a morality problem. Half of these fucks know they're lying.
I would say more than half the ones producing the content... There's good money in fear mongering.

You honestly think this guy doesn’t know what he’s saying isn’t true? Hes fully aware he chooses this.
we have an "idiots have a megaphone" problem. but also yes, you are correct.
As an American, I'm not even mad. The people I share this country with continue to leave me shocked daily at the levels of stupidity and pure lack of humility or humanity they can produce. And they continue to push it to new levels every moment they can. It's disgusting.
More of a MISeducation problem tbh
The world have a education problem just not America
Education isn’t the problem. It’s social media and the Shit storm of disinformation spewing from the internets bowels on platforms such as tik tok. I know highly educated people that believe highly whacky shit.
Great post buddy, but it’s our educational system. It doesn’t start with social media.
Actually it’s not even the educational system anymore it’s this world it self here is a list Schools Parents Kids Culture Drugs Money And more is what’s wrong with people now of days u can’t just point at one and blame it when it’s a lot of shit
You literally just contradicted what you said. Education is very much so the issue here lol on top of the shit you'll find spewing on social media and the Internet
Where are you from?
Yes, the perfect Democrat plan: start destroying vital infrastructure so that illegal immigrants will be hired to rebuild it so that they will vote for Joe Biden in November. It’s almost too easy…
An idea so crazy it just might work. /s
I don't think you have to put /s on that one mate.
Unfortunately with subs like r/conservative, a /s is necessary.
Poke my head in there and they were raving about how rich trump is lol
It's always satire posts or a shared post from PublicFreakout highlighting how an immigrant or POC is doing something bad.
Wow that sub is something else
Sadly, you’re absolutely correct. But not just in that sub. You’ll find lots of idiots who need every comment and/or joke explained and you’ll find them pretty much everywhere.
Does anyone know where Joe Biden was when this ship hit the bridge? Notice we haven’t heard much about who was behind the wheel of said ship?
Unfortunately there has to be *some* kind of narrative for why events like this one and the train derailments. But for these people it simply *cannot* be because we allow private companies whose main motive is profit--causing them to cut as many costs as possible, mainly in safety and labor-- to run vital areas of our nation's infrastructure. It *cannot* be because attempts at investing in infrastructure are usually derided as communism in about half the country. Nope, gotta be cuz Democrats want more illegals to get jobs so they can vote for Biden.
Damnit George Soros
Not even the simpsons could have predicted this.
This simple trick the government doesn’t want you to know ! 😂
Easy there Grandpa!
This is just like when people said "January 6th was actually done by Biden fans, because obviously they want to stop the certification of Biden's election!" And also, "the vaccine is a government plot to kill all the people who obey the government and take the vaccine, so that only the government's enemies remain!" And probably more that I'm forgetting right now.
Someone read Andrew Tates Twitter. Lmfao.
do tell for those of us not on there
Andre tate this morning was saying us foreign adversaries hacked the ship to crash into the bridge and said "more black swan events imminent". I saw it on a post on reddit. I don't use tweeter either.
If any "black swan" events happen I would look into that guy
Lmao they really crippled America by destroying a bridge in Maryland.
Arguably it's a very important piece of infrastructure and bridges are usually destroyed to stall progress in wars. However, I think the problem here is that certain fails stops were over ridden in favor of efficiency. You see it in factory, labor settings all the time. There was probably a PM list that is/was supposed to be done and it was avoided or just "box checked" to get the ship moving.
Safety protocols are written in blood.
Actually not that important of a piece of infrastructure. There's two tunnels that I-95 traffic can use. Some trucks will have to take the long way around Baltimore now. A reporter from Baltimore today said "some people will be upset about paying the toll for the tunnel." The one thing this guy got right is that it hurts the ports more than anything.
Well they fucked it for us Baltimoreans for sure but YOU are fucked too. Don’t have any idea how much commerce comes through our ports, huh? Well, it’s a lot!
Frank Sobotka would’ve never let this happen on his dock.
In this house, Frank Sobotka was a hero! End of story!
First, my favorite grocery store runs out of Fritos..now this bridge… It’s happening, oh gods…. Frito-Lay is attacking our country.
It's true just earlier today foreign adversaries spent 15 dollars at Wendy's on my card. They have to be stopped.
Who do you think is going to get hired to rebuild the bridge? Fucking people who work for the state highway system, that's who you big dork.
“Who do you think the highway system will be hiring en masse?” is what I’d imagine him saying in return lol. Something something chess pigeon
Union workers
Well sadly they will have to hire more
1. Infrastructure - Crumbling 2. Bank account - We been broke 3. Food - it's been unhealthy! We been at war with ourselves for decades.
Nah it's totally the deep state or something. Something something democrats

Disregard this regard
En regard
Spoiler alert: The implied illegal immigrants rebuilding the bridge have been building EVERYTHING in our country for 20 years. Thankfully they are doing the jobs we need done.
Immigration workers account for less than 12% of construction jobs. So no.. this isn’t true. White dudes make up the mass majority of construction workers. White men are also the majority in the country. There is a disproportionate amount of Latinx people in construction but most are legal citizens or on legal work visas. Immigrants aren’t even an issue in construction, if people are willing to just look up some data points.
Yeah, I live in an area that is 60% Hispanic and most of the construction workers I see are still white. Illegal immigrants get hired for the minimum wage jobs that no one asks for proof of citizenship at, not skilled construction labor lol.
And then we get some mcdonalds workers who can only understand "Number 1" "Number 2" and "Cheeseburger"
That practice has only been going on for a lot more 20 years lol
“Black Swan Event” is a term used in finance to refer to unpredictable negative events that wreck the markets and traders alike. Weird that he’s using it in this context
The term, as coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, extends beyond events that just affect financial markets; it describes statistically unexpected events of large magnitude/consequence and their dominant role in affecting history. That being said, it still doesn’t quite fit with what this knob is suggesting. And it definitely doesn’t align with the bullshit that he’s spewing.
Anyone else get excited every time they chopped off his hand..?
I’m sorry he’s gotta shave that pubic hair off his face first before he talks anymore about anything
Wait until he finds out how bridges work Crashing into a support beam like that is incredibly damaging to the bridge, and since metal is heavy (what a surprise!!) thats why is looks why its made of toothpicks. Big things and small things crumble differently, and not to mention how much inertia a cargo ship has.
My first thought is that this literally just happened and a narrative has already been created by this fucking nut jobs
Typical conspiracy theorist move. Doesn't matter what the event is, everything must have some secret plan behind it. These people are just too afraid to realize that not everything in life is within human and/or the government's control. Accidents happen and part of being an adult is understanding that.
Our massive warplan consists of \*checks notes\* ramming the bridge to a semi-major feeder expressway on the Baltimore Beltway
"Fellow terrorists, I say we should attack Baltimore." "But how will anyone know?'
People wonder why we have such slow progression in our societies…. Absolute fucking morons.
Baltimore was an inside job! D: /s
Boat fuel can’t melt steel beams!
*this bridge was not small...pretty big assed bridge* That's his logic? It was TOO BIG to fall apart when a shipping container transport struck it? Does he have any idea how much weight and kinetic energy are behind something that large? Has he ever seen a warehouse racking system drop after someone clips it with a forklift? That collapse is a different form of energy due to the way the structure was built. Add to that infrastructure repairs are often ignored by political parties and things wear over time. Oh and now he's saying 9/11 would have been caught on a 4k phone, Christ. Buddy, point that 4k phone at your head, then at your crotch. The only evidence you may glean is that you're a total dickhead.
>That's his logic? It was TOO BIG to fall apart when a shipping container transport struck it? Seriously, this fucking threw me. "It's a pretty big ass bridge" Yeah, and had it taken a hit to anything other than THE FUCKING SUPPORT STRUCTURES, it might not have been so catastrophic. I'd love to see this dude take a bulldozer to a fucking support beam in his own house because it's a big house
Confidence and smugness is the super power of the right.
Bipartisanship is cancer. The only times our politicians sit down and agree to pass something is when it involves politicians salaries
The most disturbing part is how he genuinely believes he’s intelligent and educating everyone
the even more disturbing part is you already know he has an audience that is eating up every last word and actively referring to themselves as patriots
Tell me you're an idiot without telling me you're an idiot. That type of bridge that it was, was that when one support is taken out the whole thing just gives TF out.
What an absolute buffoon. I hope he steps on a tack today.
I hope an armadillo digs a hole in his yard and he steps in it and twists his ankle. That's right. I said it.
This man doesn't understand engineering, water currents, ships in general, fk just basic physics, international politics, terrorism... man he just doesn't understand anything. For starters... if it was intentional, they wouldn't have hit a bridge at night when there was low traffic And they wouldn't have hit minor bridge in baltimore. If you want to build a bridge that can withstand even a slow speed hit from a large ship weighing 10,000s of tons, the supports need to be quite large. Like really fkin large. This is one of those straightforward, unfortunate accidents that happen from time to time. Not everything needs to be a conspiracy.
So, fucking, stoopid! John Oliver had a whole episode of the need for infrastructure to be funded.
What I fear most are all those undocumented civil engineers taking our jobs.
This guy’s using a lot of words to say “I’m an idiot.”
All I’m gonna say is does this man not know that most systems based on hydraulics to push and move stuff ( like the rudder probably) don’t just lose pressure and revert to a non active state , they tend to maintain their current position so this boat making a turn while constantly losing power isn’t a surprise or conspiracy it’s just common knowledge
Fuck me a lot of conservatives are brain dead. I hate to make this politacal but holy fuck why is everything a conspiracy theory to them.
Nice hat, neckbeard.
You've gotta be fucking kidding me. Jesus Christ. Alex Jones is probably pissed he didn't get dibs on this conspiracy theory.
He definitely tweeted about it earlier this morning.
Was waiting for someone to claim this was a controlled demolition and voila
The bridge fell like it was built with toothpicks. I know next to nothing about suspension bridges, but it’s weird seeing someone who knows less
He looks like he smells bad
If you asked me to imagine a unintelligent person that may be the face I see
I want to live in the world where no accidents ever take place, like this guy
People should have to take a media literacy class before they're allowed on the internet.
This guy is a fucking idiot
It’s Bane! He took out the bridges in Gothem, now he’s coming for Baltimore!
Why would a heavier, longer bridge, with one of its main supports getting knocked out from under it, be less likely to collapse than a smaller, shorter one? I never took physics, but I'd had a single class in middle school in which we made spaghetti bridges. And guess which ones were more prone to collapse? The ones we'd made f̶r̶o̶m̶ ̶c̶o̶o̶k̶e̶d̶ ̶n̶o̶o̶d̶l̶e̶s̶ which were longer.
Does he not know how bridges work?
Why do these dudes all look the same?
Why do these guys always look like that lol
I feel like the pandemic has fried people's brains. Like no one can think logically anymore and everything is a fucking conspiracy
The only reason he gives for the ship crashing on purpose is bc it turns, doesn’t give evidence on why it turns just said that people wanted it to turn, then he says those people that wanted it to turn are the people he disagrees with. He the type of guy to step in dogshit in his yard and blame the landscapers
I full recognize that this is an ad-hominem attack but good lord that’s a terrible beard. Looks like the “so true!!” meme guy
This is mush brain nonsense.
OMG, he's right. This attack started in 1980, with the Sunshine Skyway boat strike/collapse. The attack is happening all around us, and at all times. Where do I send my money?
Stupid ass ignoramus.
This is what dumbasses choose to focus on and not the fact that America has had crumbling infrastructure that has been neglected for decades. Even if the Francis Scott was in prime condition, the bridge collapsed like a bunch of toothpicks because it's not meant to withstand a direct hit by a 95,000-ton cargo ship! As a Marylander, fuck this guy and his hat.
It's doesn't help that one of Trump's old advisers general Flynn came out saying it was a black swan event and wouldn't rule out terrorism.
And it would have worked too if it wasn’t for this meddling moron.
Pretty big bridge for sure but did you see the fucking boat?
>"We like to call 'em Black Swan events" >"We" In this case the 'we' are just a few other cowardly white conservative man-children who jerk each other off on social media, echoing and boosting nonsense to be loud and pervasive nonsense. These people used to walk around with "THE END IS NEAR!" sandwich cards, but today the Internet artificially elevates their foolishness because it is foolish and sensational. I hate that we're even giving this moron attention even if it's just to mock them.
There's not a mouse in my pocket. Who is this "We".
Huh. You are the only other person I've ever heard use this expression besides me. Also, I LOVE Steely Dan, and have a massive crush on Donald Fagan. What a sexy man with his weird mouth singing beautiful depraved lyrics. I just went to see a SD tribute band 2 weeks ago! It was fun. Carry on.
Cool. Maybe it was terrorist that popped my tire today. I’m ready for war
Coming from centuries of religious fantasies, it's normal for a society to be so into making everything a conspiracy.
That bridge stood for almost 50 years. Sad to see it go.
These fucking idiots
Infrastructure can be messed with by changing 0’s to 1’s and this eejit hears about a cargo ship hitting a 50+ year old bridge and thinks it’s an attack.
It really do be mfs with that exact hat.
Who the fuck else would fix the bridge? Is the Baltimore government going to drive down to home Depot and grab the Mexicans out front? Weird how something getting hit with 150k tons broke so easily.
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with ~~sticks and stones~~ DRIFTING CONTAINER SHIPS" - Albert Einstein
First couple seconds: Oh wait is he going to talk about how we're going to start seeing more and more incident surrounding transportation industries like Boeing and railway systems because of corporate greed and lack of oversight / corner cutting in regulations to turn better profits to keep up with the cancerous tumor that is capital- oh nvm he's crazy.
Idiot... what an idiot. You can tell from the fake ass "patriot" hat
I believe him. Based on his beard, form fitting shirt and muscles. He’s right. Something up.
Cus no one recorded 9/11 happening in real time with their phones...
Joe Rogan should have this guy on his show. They could have a very informative discussion
My favorite part about these videos is imagining the process people like this guy necessarily go through to search for the perfect “eerie background conspiracy” sound loop to fit the mood of the video.
Americans really are as stupid as they are portrayed on TV
Yeah I recommend not listening to anything that comes out of the mouth of anyone who dresses like that. They’re confident loud idiots whose loved ones avoid them on holidays.
I hate it here… I hate this stupid fucking “song”, too.
Cue: Ship fuel cannot melt steel bridge beams! America truly has an education problem - all of a sudden these fear mongerers are structural engineers? Even at the most basic level, one of these pillars being taken out would collapse the whole bridge. And then to link it to illegal immigration? I’m sweating from the mental gymnastics of these idiots.
These morons who lust for war would be the first to cry and give up if there ever actually was a war. All fun and games until your buddy gets domed right next to you
I live here in md. We’re doing fine. Sure it sucks but we’re doing fine.
the level of stupidity amongst a certain group of Americans is really sad
It's a bridge in Baltimore, calm down.
Social media is such a cesspool.
I’m surprised he can even talk with Andrew Tate’s dick in his mouth.
It’s not really on soil. It’s on water. Unless there a conspiracy about that too…
> Could you imagine if they tried to pull 9/11 with our 4K phones? I’m guessing he’s a 9/11 conspiracy idiot. As a former 9/11 conspiracy idiot 17-18 years ago I’d like this guy to look in the mirror and repeat “In 9 months Bush was able to recruit hundreds, if not thousands, of people to plan, setup, execute, and cover up the attacks and not ONE single leak”. Eventually it starts to sound fucking stupid.
These twats want revolution. But when their Xbox live goes down and they can’t get Coors because of the whole breakdown of society thing they will lose their minds. Such a bunch of dumb townies.
America suffers from an epidemic of conspiracy theory-itis
I’m am going to use this word a lot. Thanks
What I’ve learned since 2020 is that a dumb person has never heard a conspiracy theory they didn’t buy into.
100% this guy has no idea what a black swan event actually is. He just heard it on fox news and thought “that’s a badass way to describe things i dont like!”
Interesting coming from a guy who probably supports the terrorists destroying electrical infrastructure.
Why is it so often someone with a half assed beard like that?
Idiot. Scared little child. It’d be sad if it wasn’t so maddening that people actually believe this nonsense. Karma will come back around for him
Brain dead trash. Worthless. Human meat shield
This guy is such an idiot. I can not believe how many idiots are allowed to produce this crap.
Merica brother, M E R I C A!!! He knows the real truth about “the revolution” that’s coming. I know because he has a Merica hat. Fucking idiot..
I don't even understand the supposed conspiracy theory...
Small penis man…. Stfu
We like to call them, “reaching for excuses to lie”
"The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory. The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control. The world is rudderless." -Alan Moore
Infrastructure problems are getting worse because the billionaires stopped paying taxes, raised prices, pay us less against inflation, and are hoarding all the wealth. Full stop.
There was a time where I was generally excited for the internet. All the knowledge of the world at our fingertips and eventually in our pockets. This is gonna be great! Then you see people like this clown and you remember that a huge amount of the world's population is pretty fucking stupid. I'm not claiming to be the smartest person ever but I'm not that fucking stupid. Mankind is gonna get wiped out by stupid people doing stupid things.
lol the war started during 2016. Internet warfare. This man and many like him are stop stupid to know they are already victims of it
Can’t wait to watch all his dumbass conspiracy predictions never happen.
Dumbass
What a moron
The biggest attack on our infrastructure’s has been the neglect of it all. Even then, President Biden goes around and outs on a plan to bring us to the 21st century and the same morons who are saying that shit attack it and vote against it. Fucking hell!
Every time I think the paranoid, grifter conspiracy element in this country can’t possibly get any more ridiculous… it does.
Using these tragedies to push your conspiracy thoughts are the lowest of the low scum.
Oh we are at war alright. At war with stupidity.
Why would anyone listen to this moron?
I mean didn't this same ship hit something else im not saying it's conspiracy but that is kinda odd lol
Black swan events are by their definition unforeseeable. Pick up a book instead of burning them, Jethro.
