Day 1 of roadtripping with the #Rivian. Drove from #Baltimore to #Indianapolis, ~600 miles. Followed the built-in navigation’s advice on charging, which I think was a little too conservative. It had us stop 4 times, despite a nominal range of a hair over 400 miles with a full charge. I think it needs a roadtrip mode, or something, that lets you temporarily sacrifice ideal battery conditioning for overall speed, but otherwise it’s a fantastic car for a road trip, and I’m really loving it!
Dass ein Containerschiff die #brucke in #Baltimore einstürzen ließ, liegt einfach daran, dass sie nicht gut gesichert war.
Es gibt mehrere Möglichkeiten, Brücken effektiv gegen Kollisionen zu sichern. Ich habe einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Techniken zusammengestellt.
On one level I can see why the Baltimore Bridge accident is newsworthy.... the video is oddly compelling & lives were lost.
But, should an accident in Baltmore really be global news - leading on the evening news tonight (and on the top of the FT web-page with a full 'explainer')?
Its the usual case of if it happens in America its news....
Or perhaps wherever a container ship hit a bridge with good video it would be a lead time on the news... maybe not so much.
Collapse of the main span of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore after a Singapore-flagged container ship Dali collided with one of its support pillars around 01:27 a.m. EDT.
Number of vehicles and people fell into the water 185 feet below.
The bridge is part of the outer beltway around Baltimore and sits above the shipping lanes of one of the busiest ports on the east coast.
BREAKING NEWS: #Maryland's Key Bridge collapses after being struck by a container ship as astonishing footage shows the 9,000ft structure crashing into Patapsco river.
Un pont de la ville américaine de #Baltimore – le pont Francis Scott Key – s'est effondré après une collision. Un cargo est entré en collision avec lui.C'est ce qu'écrit Fox News Baltimore .
"In the past days, we have learned that the six maintenance workers killed when the bridge collapsed were all immigrants, natives of Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador. Around 39% of the workforce in the construction industry around Baltimore and Washington, D.C., about 130,000 people, are immigrants, Scott Dance and María Luisa Paúl reported in the Washington Post yesterday."
It is a somber Tuesday after the incident on the Francis Scott Key Bridge. That is my local commuter bridge and the one I took to work daily for over a decade before getting my current, local job.
My BIL / SIL take it still take it. I am thankful their commute did not line up with the incident. We called them both when we saw the news early this morning to check. I am also thankful for those who were able to be saved so far out of the harbor.
I pray that more folks who fell in are found and saved.
my mom checked out of autumn lake rehab in #baltimore back in January and they had the audacity to go to social security administration to change her address back to theirs and claim guardianship. i’ve gotta get another lawyer AGAIN! one of the most disgusting nursing homes i’ve ever been to in my life.
Malcolm Nance looks at how quickly the slimy fingers of conspiracy-theory propagandists got ahold of the Moscow terrorist attack story and now the Baltimore bridge destruction, and turned them into bizarre sagas involving Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Ukraine, and gay Jews.
If you #bike in #Baltimore, you might be interested to know that Margo Bruner-Settles's anti-bike-lane billboard truck ran a red light in front of me today.
People in Baltimore have been dying of overdoses at a rate never before seen in a major American city.
The city was once hailed for its response to #addiction. But as #fentanyl flooded streets & ofcls shifted priorities, deaths hit unprecedented heights.
