These are the corporations responsible for the death and destruction of the #FrancisScottKey #bridge in #Baltimore: Synergy Marine Group, Synergy Group, and Maersk. Sue them. SUE THEM ALL! The tax payer should not foot the bill for their negligence.

Facebook is tagging videos of the Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore as "False information".

Has Meta turned "fact checking" over to AI, or to Alex Jones?

[edit: "False information" tag removed a few hours later. I suspect I was not the only one who complained.]

Container Ship That Destroyed Baltimore Bridge Has Troubled History - Alaska Native News

The Maersk-chartered MV Dali—which lost propulsion just before the collision—not only was involved in a previous crash, but was also briefly detained last year over problems with its propulsion system. The mega-container ship that lost propulsion before toppling Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge in a Tuesday morning collision was involved in a previous crash, and […]

Didn’t take long for the conspiracy theories to permeate X Twitter regarding the #FrancisScottKey #Bridge collapse

“Despite the impossibility of solid information in the hours immediately after the collision—or perhaps because of it—verified accounts on #X (formerly #Twitter) began spreading conspiracy theories. They posted that the accident was linked to terrorism, Jewish people, or diversity, equity, and inclusion (#DEI) programs. “Did anti-white business practices cause this disaster?” one posted. #Conspiracy theorist #AlexJones wrote that the collision was “deliberate” and that “WW3 has already started”

At about 1:30 this morning, local time, the Dali, a 985-foot (300 m) container ship operating under a Singapore flag, struck the steel Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, that spans the lower Patapsco River and outer Baltimore Harbor. The bridge immediately collapsed.

A huge cargo ship has demolished #Baltimore's #FrancisScottKey Bridge. I'm now waiting to see how long it will be before #NancyMace blames #JoeBiden

UPDATE (Tuesday, 1:00 pm EDT):

In his speech today, #PresidentBiden said that the crew of the ship was able to alert the Port Authorities that they had lost control of the ship, prior to impact with the bridge. This warning allowed the #KeyBridge to be closed, undoubtedly saving lives. But an unknown number of cars and several maintenance workers were apparently still on the 1.6-mile (2.5 km) bridge when it was struck by the cargo ship.

The #ArmyCorpOfEngineers is on site and assisting with the disaster.

Over 13K cars drove across the bridge every day. The Port of Baltimore is one of the major American ports and impacts 15K jobs. He has promised that the federal govt will fund the rebuilding of the bridge, and we will not need to wait for lawsuits or private industry to pay for it.
