   Heard about the Baltimore bridge collapse. I was hoping there would be no casualties but it doesn't look like that's likely 😰

     @liztai watching the vehicles drive over as the moment of impact nears is horrifying https://defcon.social/@SomaFMrusty/112161316200529463

     @urlyman really really sad. Could a boat collision cause such a catastrophic result, or is this some kind of structural thing?

     @urlyman ok sorry just saw the clip. I actually thought it was a small boat. That thing is massive! 🤯

     @urlyman I wonder what happened to that ship. It looked like it was malfunctioning. So sad all around

     @liztai it looks like a container ship? Their weight is off the scale. And I imagine the bridge pillars are engineered for downward stress but very much not massive sideways stress

     @liztai Thankfully happened at 1:30 AM. This would have been much worse if it had happened at rush hour or even mid-day.
