He read it on the internet, geez! So it must be true. Besides it’s hard to get worked up if a ship simply lost power and hit a bridge.Do you have a source for your claims other than a well known conspiracy purveyor?

I'm sure there will be negotiations and lawsuits for years over private compensation for the bridge damage and the deaths of the workers. Meanwhile, the bridge needs to get rebuilt and the country can't sit around and wait for the insurance check to arrive. Or to see if the shipper or the insurers go bankrupt. The bridge is part of both state and national highway systems, so a joint responsibility of state & federal government to get that done and paid for. Recovery of the costs from insurer and shipper is a separate problem.I agree as to who should be rebuilding the bridge. It shouldn’t be the taxpayers in this case
Somehow I doubt that. That is/was a steel bridge, easily recycled (and most likely USA made steel at that). Even the steel from the twin towers was recycled.I wonder if the bridge pieces will be used for an artificial reef?
Elon says he could rebuild the bridge faster by re-using existing pieces..Somehow I doubt that. That is/was a steel bridge, easily recycled (and most likely USA made steel at that). Even the steel from the twin towers was recycled.

Musk will take the pieces and make a rocket ship out of them. Or maybe a special edition Muskmobile.Elon says he could rebuild the bridge faster by re-using existing pieces..
What's a bridge, we're already financing 3 wars...I agree as to who should be rebuilding the bridge. It shouldn’t be the taxpayers in this case
What will that help?FBI opened a criminal investigation.
Meanwhile we still don't even have the name/names of the pilot/pilots on board.

So you and millions of others can lambaste the family(s) for a few years on social media?
...Or anyone with the same name or who looks similar. Remember the flash of violence and prejudice against Chinese "looking" people, who were actually US Citizens in the US, during Covid? Yeah.
As opposed to what, non criminal investigations the FBI ordinarily launches? Investigation means they're looking into it, nothing more. Why does anyone need the names of the Pilots? So they can be hounded and receive death threats on social media. The pilot boards the ship at the dock to guide it to the sea buoy, nothing more. They ( the second pilot was likely an apprentice, some States can require years of apprenticeship before issuing a pilots license) did their jobs.FBI opened a criminal investigation.

While German Americans were perfectly free to go about their business as usual, as both should have been.Yup. FDR even locked up Japanese-American citizens during WWII.

Somebody is throwing poop against the wall here.Maybe it would get more scrutiny if it was an Exxon oil tanker.
Actually about 180 degrees.in a full circle the difference in a far right and a far left extremist, is nothing.
I agree; even today a person with the last name Booth fights that stygma....Or anyone with the same name or who looks similar. Remember the flash of violence and prejudice against Chinese "looking" people, who were actually US Citizens in the US, during Covid? Yeah.
Let the FBI do their work. I'm not surprised they opened a criminal investigation in the least. Not that I suspect crime - I know nothing about the situation - but I trust them to assess and investigate if there was. They typically do this with any large-scale incident.
... or Mudd.I agree; even today a person with the last name Booth fights that stygma.
