Francis Scott Key Bridge Hit by Container Ship

Still have not located the 6 construction workers, they have helicopters still circling and divers looking. I doubt they have much hope of finding them live now.

I can't imagine the traffic for commuters for the next few months, a third of our beltway has disappeared.
 
The port closure will mainly affect the auto industry, but shipments will be rerouted.

"Materials transported in large volumes through the city’s port include COAL, coffee and sugar. It was the ninth-busiest port in the nation last year for receiving foreign cargo, in terms of volume and value.
The bridge’s collapse will also disrupt cruises traveling in and out of Baltimore."

"...it would not make a huge dent on the global market, but he added that “the impact is significant for the U.S. in terms of loss of export capacity.”
“You may see coal cargoes coming from the mines being rerouted to other ports instead,”

 

I can't help but think about how the US failed to veto that UN resolution on Israel, and wondering about the timing of this disaster.
It’s sad that the Francis Scott Key bridge was named after the author of the Star Spangled Banner song, w/ the whole bridge falling down and the USA feeling like it’s falling apart, it’s just a very sad situation.
Thank you. I failed to put the two together.

PS: Had to edit to put in @Work4Peanuts post, which somehow didn't end up quoted with @LydiaJoy post in my post
 
Not ignoring the tragic loss of life in this event and while praying for the families of the deceased, it is hard not to ignore the fact that there is a certain dramatic coincidence in the name of the bridge that has been destroyed and the current situation in the United States. It is as though the bridge were a metaphor for the nation. Enough said.
 
I was about to joke about this , watch all the false flag comments from the conspiracy theorists come out because of this
Some people think linking bad things happening to countries that turn their backs on Israel is tin foil hat territory.

However, God warns us:

1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
Genesis 12:1-4, KJV

15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
Genesis 17:15-21, KJV

2 Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren;
Matthew 1:2, KJV

28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel:
Genesis 32:28, KJV

No not so much conspiracy in that regard, moreso they purposefully caused this event to distract away from another issue that is occuring like maybe pressure on Biden for his dodgy dealings etc
 
I looked at the Jerusalem Post and Times of Israel websites, and nothing new jumps out as being sufficient motive for someone attacking the Francis Scott Key bridge.

However, the U.S. failing to support Israel and working toward dividing the land are more than enough provocation for God to pass judgement, in accordance with His Word (the Bible)

And this one.

The article considers the possibility of this being a Chinese or Russian attack and that our govt knows it. From the article:
"They know America is under attack but don’t want to undermine Joe Biden’s campaign for president at a sensitive time when Americans are already on edge because of the terrorists coming onto the U.S. through the open borders."
 
At this point I'm inclined to believe it was an accident because the crew actually radioed a distress call while they were underway in the entry to the harbor and said that they'd lost power. Consequently, the bridge authorities were able to seal the bridge and that's why very few vehicles were on it.

Further developments will eventually reveal the truth.

I've pretty much accepted that we may never know the truth this side of heaven. If the goal was to hobble the US and not necessarily cause loss of life, then taking out the bridge without rousing the sleeping giant might be a better plan. How much loss of life has occured with all the food processing fires we've seen lately? It seems obvious that we are under attack from within, with attacks spaced out just enough to not arouse suspicion. And our leaders/military (thinking specifically of the useless evil people that Biden has placed over our military, not necessarily the actual troops) are either in on it (treasonous for selfish gains) or too stupid to know that they're being played.

Tend to agree after just hearing a playback of the authorities stopping traffic on either side of the bridge after the Mayday call. The news interviewed an Uber driver who was stopped just before getting on it. Lucky to be alive.
