Oh great, now the conservatives are really gonna scream about it being a big conspiracy.
At least it doesn’t sound like anyone was hurt this time?
We’re definitely about to be inundated with “boat hits bridge” stories.
Probably not uncommon or usually newsworthy, it’s just the normal news thing of “cover thing that’s trending!”
I think their focus is more on amplifying any disaster that makes it look like thing everything is falling apart under the Biden administration, so that we forget how badly everything fell apart during every disaster under Trump’s ego.
Wait till they see 11’8"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A highway in Oklahoma was temporarily shut on Saturday after a barge struck a bridge over the Arkansas River, just days after the tragic collision in Maryland.
State patrol troopers closed US Highway 59 about 1:25 pm after receiving word of the incident and diverted traffic from the area, spokesperson Sarah Stewart said.
The bridge, which crosses the Arkansas River where it enters the Robert S Kerr Reservoir, was later inspected and the highway reopened to traffic around 4 pm.
The incident came as engineers in Baltimore began the lengthy process of removing parts of the Francis Scott Key bridge from the Patapsco River.
Four construction workers remain missing, presumed dead, after the Dali cargo ship smashed into the bridge in the early hours of Tuesday.
Over the past several days, enormous cranes have arrived in Baltimore to help clear the wreckage, which officials say is an essential step before recovery efforts to find the missing construction workers and re-open the port.
