Fireballer 2,639 Posted March 26, 2024 I’m reading that they think only about a dozen cars were on the bridge. It will be a miracle if less than 25 people are dead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GobbleDog 976 Posted March 26, 2024 Quote Without propulsion, the ship would have little directional control. That barge drifted for a long time.... why doesn't it have anchors? Even if they lost electrical, surely they could manually lower some.?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So when did people start caring about a couple human lives over millions in dollars and destruction of additional infrastructure based on a distant hope that they could be saved.? That is such a shlt argument you should be embarrassed. It's like arguing no one should be driving cars because of the deaths that accidents cause. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
