The Morning Report — 3/26/24

Good morning, kids. Breaking news this morning is that a cargo ship slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge which crosses Baltimore harbor, resulting in a total collapse of the structure. Absolutely horrific:

A mass casualty event has been declared after a bridge in Baltimore, Md., was struck by a container ship Tuesday morning. Horror footage shows the moment the Francis Scott Key Bridge crumbled after a vessel crashed into the central part of the structure. The steel arches then instantly dismantled into the Patapsco River shortly before 1:30 a.m. Several vehicles fell into the water.
It was unclear how many vehicles were on the 1.6 mile-long span but the Baltimore City Fire Department confirmed to that “at least seven people” were in the river. Rescue workers are searching for about 20 people at this time, a Fire Department spokesperson told CNN.
Baltimore City Fire Department’s communications chief Kevin Cartwright has called the incident a “developing mass casualty event”. “The dive and rescue team has arrived on scene to locate the individuals,” Cartwright said. Cartwright said emergency services are now “trying to rescue and recover” people believed to have fallen into the water. “This is a dire emergency,” he added.
. . . Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski Jr. said on X that, “Rescue efforts are underway. Please pray for those impacted.” The department said the surrounding body of water was filled with diesel.
The Singapore-flagged container ship, called Dali, had left Baltimore just after 1 a.m. and was heading to Colombo, Sri Lanka, according to the maritime data platform, MarineTraffic.All lanes were closed in both directions following the horror incident, the Maryland Transportation Authority said.
. . . The bridge, which is part of I-695, was built in 1977 and crosses into Baltimore’s harbor.

The death toll will likely be high, yet were it not for Beau Biden – who after losing his life at Gettysburg, then at the Battle of the Bulge and then again in the Iraq war – lost it yet again, this time by singlehandedly holding up the bridge with his last ounce of strength, it could have been much higher. Karine Jean Pierre's words, not mine.

Seriously, this might very well be just a massive mishap or even a series of mishaps that together resulted in a chain reaction which brought the bridge down. That said, given the state of the world today, both from a cultural, competency and global security standpoint, that presents a chain reaction of events of a completely different nature. That it happened at 1:30 in the morning certainly will mitigate the death toll, as traffic I assume would be light at that hour. In my mind I'm kind of leaning towards accident and not intentional. Meh, who the hell knows anymore. I'm sure Ace and the cobs will be updating this story throughout the day as more information becomes known.

Side note: The Key Bridge was built almost 50 years ago, in the pre-DEI era. Look who's "graduating" from engineering schools these days. A slew of Claudine Gays. Boeing called to say "happy landings." (Swalwell hears that as "happy endings.")

Meanwhile, an unprecedented, and until very recently, unthinkable tragedy occurred at Turtle Bay. This one with absolute malice aforethought:

In the classic 1966 film A Man For All Seasons, Thomas More, the Chancellor of England and patron saint of the witty and apposite quip, finds himself besieged by ambitious young men hoping he will appoint them to a lucrative and prestigious position. One of them, Richard Rich, eventually betrays More and receives as his reward the position of attorney general for Wales.
Soon afterward, More, on trial with Rich as one of his accusers, sees the emblem of his new office and says, “Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Wales?” A nearly identical question can now be asked of Old Joe Biden: “Why Joe, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... but for Michigan?”
As Stephen Green noted Monday, “it’s official. Under Joe Biden, this country has taken sides against the country trying to defend itself from a genocidal organization that murdered 1,200 civilians — plus other little niceties like kidnapping children and raping women to death.” Old Joe did this by refraining from having the U.S. veto a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire in Israel. A ceasefire in Gaza would allow Hamas to survive. It would amount to a massive Israeli defeat and could lead to the ultimate demise of the Jewish state. . .
. . . Now Old Joe can rest easy. He has allowed the UN to demand that Israel essentially surrender since that is what the effect of a ceasefire would be. Now Biden can count on Tlaib, Awad, and their friends, and that’s all that matters. For Michigan, he has betrayed a friend of the United States and once again given aid and comfort to the enemies of this nation, as well as to those of Israel. . .
. . . The end result of the Biden regime’s betrayal of Israel on Monday could turn out to be not only the demise of Israel but of the United States itself. In their madness to keep control of the goose that lays the golden eggs, Biden regime apparatchiks are busy killing the goose itself, and appear neither to have noticed or cared that such an outcome could result from their self-serving recklessness.

Robert Spencer, yet again, nails it. That said, will this move at the UN really be enough to guarantee the voters in Dearbornistan and Mogadishappolis and wherever the hell else they exist come to the polls and pull the lever (at least 10 times etc, including their dead relatives and their 72 virgins as is SOP for Democrats)? That remains to be seen because in the interim, this sends the signal to Bibi Netanyahu and the entire Israeli populace that the United States of America is at best, an ally no longer and, quite probably at worst an active enemy. It also gives them the green light to go all the way into Rafah to wipe out whatever is left of Hamas AND retain control of Gaza's government in any post-war environment.

At that point, Bro-Fo, Rancida Taliban and the Titty-Caca Ocasio-Cortez Jew haters that not only control but now comprise virtually the entirety of the Democrat Party will demand the US military literally declare war on the IDF. Sounds crazy, no? I believe it is a distinct possibility.

In a sane world, that would not happen, but as we all know and has been thoroughly demonstrated by the Kalorama Klown Komintern that are pulling Joey Sponge-Brain Shits-Pants' strings, we are no longer in a sane world. Adding to the fact that they sabotaged and likely stole one national election in 2020, created a phony Reichstag Fire event on 1/6/21 resulting in the imprisonment of scores of innocent people, including Donald J. Trump, kneecapped our burgeoning fossil fuel industry and sent our economy into the shitter, unleashed a massive crime wave via the defund the police movement, intentionally erased our borders and allowed an 8 million-strong with a few million more to follow invasion of our nation – including along with indigent third world peasants thousands of military age males and even terrorists – and on and on and on, I would not put it past Obama to actually order air strikes on Israeli military targets, not just in forward positions in Gaza but within territorial Israel itself.

As sick as this would be to imagine this is just about holding onto political power just for one election cycle, this is about gaining absolute power forever. Look at who we are dealing with. Not just Joe Biden but the entire Democrat Party. Most especially its Jews by birth, i.e. Chuck Schumer. And he's been in government about as long as Biden, going back to an era when allegedly the Democrat Party and America itself were allied with almost total support for the State of Israel. Biden for sure is going to Hell but Schumer and his ilk are going to roast like nobody's business for what they've done and are doing today.

I've said it before, but let me break it out here to be absolutely clear: The State of Israel is the world's absolute moral authority. Considering what it faces and has faced for the past 75 years and most especially since the coming of Obama and for sure since last October 7th, there is no doubt in my mind about it. And America, which once was, has now absolutely cemented its newfound position as, in the words of a French Israel-hater, just another "shitty little country."

But to also be absolutely clear, I reserve that condemnation for our political leaders, bureaucrats, the media, academia and those who consider themselves our betters. We shall overcome them, as will Israel overcome them and the rest of the amoral, degenerate world. The segment made that way by godless post-World War One postmodernism and that other segment made that way in Mecca 1,500 years ago.

There will be blood. Sadly, much of it ours. But HIS will be done.

7 The end result of the Biden regime’s betrayal of Israel on Monday could turn out to be not only the demise of Israel but of the United States itself. In their madness to keep control of the goose that lays the golden eggs, Biden regime apparatchiks are busy killing the goose itself, and appear neither to have noticed or cared that such an outcome could result from their self-serving recklessness.

The real tragedy after the bodies are laid to rest is in the miserable response we are going to have to endure. That bridge is within hollering distance of DC and every unelected professional leach-class admin and staff in the DC is going to stick his dick in this for as long as they can.

Didn't Earn It is not just a witty quip. A hell of a lot of stuff that surrounds us is fundamentally fragile. It REQUIRES people to know what they can and cannot do. That is what is so insane about people talking about seeding the atmosphere to try to combat climate change, or let's play around with truckers. These are all vast systems that are poorly understood (unlike engineering with bridges.)

47 The bridge hit will be incompetence on someone's part, not terrorism. It does bring to mind a favorite book, Atlas Shrugged. Of course Rand's book condensed the collapse to show the rapid decline of western civilization, now we're seeing it happen for real slowly and surely. The only thing she missed was the minority loonies, like the trans crowd. I don't think anyone could have predicted that lunacy.

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck.”

61 I wonder what the current is like in proximity to the bridge, and whether it could be a factor in the accident. It sure looks like a rapid swing off course right there before the impact. It seems unlikely that the ship's controls design would have a failure that resulted in an un-commanded rudder hard over.

Assuming that the engineering accident theory is correct, you would have assumed that the first thing they'd have done is take local control of the engines and go to full reverse (assuming that's something they'd have been able to do). Given where they were that would have been a significantly safer play than continuing to steam ahead.

85 "Joe Biden and his EPA’s push for electric heat pumps will be an even bigger fail than their push for electric vehicles."

When properly installed, plenty of today’s air-source heat pumps (simply “heat pumps,” for the rest of this article) can keep your home toasty even amid bone-chilling cold, using far less energy than other types of heating systems. Many homeowners will save money with a heat pump, too.

While Consumer Reports HAS NOT tested any whole-house heating and cooling equipment, including heat pumps, studies and real-world testimonials paint a clear picture that heat pumps can work.

The main span of 1,200 feet (366 m) is the third longest span of any continuous truss in the world. It is also the longest bridge in the Baltimore metropolitan area.

It looks to me as if the bridge was on I-695, a beltway around the city. The direct route through Baltimore is I-95 with the tunnels. I think the truckers can now take the beltway around the city from the other side. But exponentially more traffic on that section.

159 Seriously, this might very well be just a massive mishap or even a series of mishaps that together resulted in a chain reaction which brought the bridge down.

Thanks to one of you guys on the Book Thread, I was reading about the explosion in Halifax's harbor in 1917. So many avoidable events led up to it: A ship running late because it had to wait for the raising of the anti-submarine nets decided to speed through the harbor. That ship refusing to yield to others going the correct way. The lifeboats from the rammed ship full of ordinance going the opposite direction of the ships coming to fight the fire, therefore the ships didn't hear the sailors' shouted warnings. People rubbernecking at the ship on fire got blinded by explosion. Etc etc etc...

This has occurred many times in the past.

A ship that large has the mass and the momentum that, if off course, cannot be corrected in time to avoid a collision. More common that most people are aware of.

Watching the close up video again and again it appears the ship slowed down tremendously at the end.

Because of damage to the starboard side I can't tell if that anchor was deployed.

The anchors deploying in the soft bottom of the harbor would be a fart in a hurricane with a container ship with that much of a load.

231 After the prayers said for the people affected by the bridge collapse.......I'm in the Baltimore area. Nearly alll of the Port of Baltimore is north of the bridge. There won't be any boats/cargo in or out for possibly years. You are talking about thousands of jobs and more money than you can count. Once that cargo is re-routed to VA, you may never get it back. The impact is HUGE.

232 Dali, a 948-foot vessel, is currently sailing under the Singaporean flag. It left the Baltimore port at 1:00 a.m. and struck the bridge in slightly less than half an hour. ?!!

It had two pilots onboard according to its owner, Grace Ocean Investment, and was sailing to Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The Dali had arrived in Baltimore on Saturday and spent two days in port. Maersk, the shipping giant, said in a statement on Tuesday that it had chartered the vessel, which was carrying Maersk cargo. No Maersk crew and personnel were onboard. Maersk is monitoring investigations being carried out by authorities and by Synergy Group, the company that was operating the vessel.

Recent port calls: Panama on the 13th; NY on the 19th; Norfolk, Mar. 22, and Baltimore, Mar. 23.

Posted by: Nova Local at March 26, 2024 08:39 AM (exHjb)

The cruise terminal is a good bit away from the Key Bridge site. Ships have to travel over top of the area where the original Baltimore Harbor Tunnel (I-895) crosses the harbor to get to the terminal. Not sure the harbor can accommodate any larger ships than the ones currently using the port.

The Port of Baltimore ranks 1st nationally in automobiles and light trucks, 1st in Ro/Ro cargo, 1st in gypsum imports, 2nd in imported sugar, and 2nd in exported coal. Overall, Baltimore ranks 9th nationally in cargo value, and 11th in total tonnage (2019 data). More than 125,000 jobs in Maryland are related to the maritime industry. One ship can carry nearly 7,000 cars, 14,000 truck-sized 20’ containers, 3500 passengers & crew, or 1000 railcar loads of coal, sometimes valued at nearly $500 million. The least expensive overland route to the massive Midwest market starts at the Port of Baltimore.

The old bridge looked pretty steep for road traffic already. There is a taller bridge over the Houston ship channel, but there is more real estate there than I would think exists in Baltimore. The ramps have a maximum grade, so the taller the bridge, the longer the ramp.

The Chesapeake Bay is the longest pilotage route on the United States’ East Coast, with nearly 200 miles of Bay waters. Ships longer than 4 football fields and with drafts of nearly 48‘ deep routinely transit the narrow ship channels leading to Baltimore that are only 50' in depth. More than 96% of all ships coming to Maryland are manned by foreign officers and crews, many from third world countries and 95% of all U.S. international cargo is carried by ships. Pilots are on the “front lines” protecting the environmental and ecological balance of the Chesapeake Bay by ensuring the safe passage of these large ships that carry huge quantities of oil and other hazardous materials.

301 The influx of illegals will take the House (the (R)s are quitting anyway, so it won't be hard), and we've already seen the Senate and Presidency techniques. By June the (D) majority will pass amnesty.

The census isn't for another six years, and then there is the redistricting for 2032 elections. For a country that is already a Communist dictatorship, what is another eight years?

AI will be doing the voting to whatever smoking ruin of the former US remains.

I think the influx of illegal aliens and the immediate absorption into the workforce has everything to do with a 1.6 birth rate and a worthless domestic workforce.

To bring all this to the present day, here in the US we have:

1. A debt of $34.5 Trillion, increasing by more than $2 Trillion per year. (France had massive debt that couldn’t even be fully accounted for).

2. Defeat in the endless wars of Afghanistan and Iraq, which cost us thousands of troops and $6 Trillion and achieved fuckall. (France got their ass kicked in the Seven Years war)

3. We’re backing two countries in their own disastrous wars: Ukraine which is losing its war against Russia, and Israel which is committing a genocide with our bombs. And we’ve spent over $100 Billion supporting these two losers. (France backed the American revolution to their own financial detriment)

4. Everything costs double what it did just a few years ago, but wages certainly haven’t kept up, unless you’re in politics or you’re an AI programmer. (Food costs in France were doubled in a few short years)

5. A president who should be in a retirement home and whose advisors hide him from any serious questions. Yeah, real confidence inspiring! (Louis XVI)

It's almost like pushing young women to be men is a terrible idea. Men are designed for war and loneliness. The majority of men prefer to be alone. We've spent a generation or two insisting that women can do something that is completely against their nature, and our women are paying the price for it.

I bet you'd *maybe* find one man in 1000 that gives a crap about how much money a woman makes or that she "pays her bills" or whatever. It holds no value to men even though it's extremely important to you. You're pursuing masculine goals in masculine ways and it's hurting you.

He spent the weekend golfing, the morning comparing himself to Jesus, and the afternoon lying about having money he definitely doesn’t have. His campaign can’t raise money, he is uninterested in campaigning outside his country club, and every time he opens his mouth, he pushes moderate and suburban voters away with his dangerous agenda. America deserves better than a feeble, confused, and tired Donald Trump.”

Been waiting for this tact from someone to confront Trump. You face a bully and use their own tactics on them. This will send Trump qand his campaign into a panic.

This is perfect. The only thing bullies like Trump hate more than being ignored by the people they are bullying is when someone stands up to them and point out they are full of it. They need to do this all the time and get under his skin, provoke increasingly deranged responses.

474 The I-35W bridge collapsed in August 2007 in Minneapolis. The proximate cause was many tons of construction material piled on the deck, on a hot summer day.

Investigation found that much weight had been added over the 40 years. But what really happened is that the gusset plates--the flat metal plates that held pieces of the bridge together--were only 1/2" thick instead of 1" as specified. One of those plates tore apart, and everything else fell after that.

Deaths and injuries were low considering that it fell during rush hour on a weekday. The replacement bridge was being planned within 24 hours, and was completed only 13 months later.

Everything I'm reading on the Baltimore bridge collapse feels eerily similar, including the speculation on sabotage.

Posted by: Notsothoreau at March 26, 2024 08:14 AM

Speaking of knowledgeable people being fired or retiring, that has been happening all throughout US auto industry for the past 3-4 years as well. On Friday, Stellantis (Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles) fired 400 North America engineers, including all 20 direct employee engineers in my department, including me.

Over the past 3 years since FCA merged with PSA and Stellantis was formed, Stellantis has been replacing almost all US engineers with outsourced engineers in Mexico and India. My old group within the department, from which I was just fired in the mass layoff, had 24 people in it. Only 4 of us were in Michigan. The other 20 were remote workers in India or people from India working in Canada (majority in Toronto, one in Windsor).

Now after this mass layoff, I would guess 99% of my old department is made up of cheap labor contract engineers from India (BCC - best cost country) with 1-2 years experience.
