The bridge, which is actually a rail bridge and highway bridge that parallel each other, did not collapse. The barge struck the railroad bridge which was not, and has not been, in service for years. A portion of it fell from the barge strike, but an even larger portion of it, next to the portion that fell, was already missing, who knows why. Possibly a similar strike in the past. A look at the latest Google Earth aerial dated 2/23/2023 shows the spans already missing. In addition, those spans have been missing since at least 2/2004. The road bridge was closed out of caution until engineers can inspect it for damage.

Much needed information!

Impressive that man took responsibility for barge and tugboat. I don’t see that very often.

[@teeniemclane3930]

All these barge "accidents" back to back. Just like all the train derailments back to back... 🙄 Please

Look up agenda 30, use to be called agenda 21 but since that plan didn’t come to fruition as they had hoped, it now has been changed to agenda 30. This is no joke! and no conspiracy this is very very serious, then keep your eyes open and you’ll start seeing more and more and if you think the Maui fire was a natural cause or accident you’d be sadly mistaken. Don’t trust the mainstream media, they’re getting paid to lie and keeping the truth from us. Look I’m on the public’s side, I have no reason to be making this up. I’ve been checking into all of this for at least the past 20 years

Excellent Presser.

All bridges hit in 2024 so far: Baltimore Bridge collapse (March 26 2024) Oklahoma Arkansas River Bridge hit (March 30 2024) New York Bridge [boat stopped] (April 8 2024) Ohio bridge 26 barge crash (April 14 2024) Barge hits Iowa bridge (May 9 2024) Barge hits Texas Bridge (May 15 2024) Barge hits Virginia Chesapeake power line and Bridge (May 19 2024)

[@DorisCoble]

The next bridge is likely going to be hit somewhere between the dates May 23 2024, and June 13 2024, since a ship or Barge crashes every week or two.

He actually called Francis Key bridge rasict. How can an inanimate object have feelings? Inquiring minds need to know.

[@bettylovell4214]

What's the latest with the scott key bridge? Nevermind...we have to knock out more bridges to be able to "build back better". In the meantime bootyguedge is on maternity leave. The cheif of transportation.
