We're done being nice and giving the benfit of the doubt.

This shit never happened when we didn't have problems with Mexico (because we were bent over a barrel and being fucked by them for decades).

But it happens now.

Nah...

You can chalk this up to random chance. I have zero patience for Mexico or any of their bullshit right now.

They can take their boats and stick them right where Trump is going to shove all of their illegals.


This ain't playtime anymore Sigs. I want an explanation why anyone is even allowing a Mexican military ship anywhere in US waters in 2025.

New York crashed the ship into the bridge.

What does that mean?

I read it as a joke first. I thought you typed that New York crashed the bridge into the ship.

How did the ship get INTO the Tall Ship Festival dock? Under a different bridge, to the same dock? Did it miss a turn on the way out, thus hitting the Brooklyn Bridge? Is a different span of the bridge much higher, able to clear the mast of this ship?
Which bridges would be the path for a Tall Ship in this port?


The ship was under the control of New York authorities when they crashed it into the bridge.

New York crashed it into the bridge.

The ship visited Staten Island and was docked at Pier 17.

/

So I pulled up a map of Staten Island+ "pier 17"+ Brooklyn Bridge + waterways. Pier 17 is JUST downstream of the bridge, and Staten Island is further downstream on the same waterway. I guess incoming tide or wind pushed the ship into the bridge.

No matter who is piloting the ship, once you lose propulsion or steering, the pilot is helpless.

Oh BTW, SIX, do you have any idea HOW MANY ships crash into bridges in the USA?
I was trying to research the other cargo ship incident, and what came up first was ...

IN TEXAS
Pelican Island Bridge in Galveston struck by barge, causing portion to collapse: officials
https://www.foxnews.com/us/pelican-island-bridge-galveston-struck-barg
e-causing-portion-collapse-officials


AND IN OKLAHOMA...
Barge strikes bridge in Oklahoma, halting highway traffic
https://www.foxnews.com/us/barge-strikes-bridge-oklahoma-halting-highw
ay-traffic


AND ELSEWHERE IN THE USA
US bridges are frequently struck by ships and barges
Despite dozens of incidents each year, standards to protect bridges from vessel strikes are thin.

By your "logic", SIX, barge operators are out to get us!
