April 2nd

Powerful earthquake rocks Taiwan, death toll rising, 800 injured

This was a targeted earthquake by China as a prelude to invasion. They hacked the Earth's mantel with new technology related to their fusion reactor.

It is a clear message; April 2 1912 the Titanic began sea trials, we all know what happened next. In April 2 1917 President Woodrow Wilson asks Congress to declare war against Germany.

Erick, instead of blasting folks for immediately jumping to 'terrorism' in the Dali accident, while immediately spouting 'it was an unavoidable accident' yourself - why not wait till the investigation is finished?

No one, INCLUDING the Obama/Biden administration has any right to make ANY claims about the cause for this incident YET!!! That goes both ways, and accident or an attack!

This is why we can’t have nice things.

Never ascribe to malice, that which can be explained by incompetence…..or, sometimes, crap happens.

Hey folks! **IT HAPPENS!

Disagree. We aren’t making up conspiracy theories. We are simply asking if those things that have permeated our society due to Biden’s domestic and foreign policies were at play at all in the causation of the incident. Once we have all the facts, it appears to be a freak accident but, as someone who’s been involved in root causes analyses for the better part of my career, what you believe is the cause on day 2 (today) is still NOT the full explanation. So until that is completed, I will not agree with your assessment quite yet, either.

A strange combination of factors have led us to this point. (1)The mainstream media has a political bias that's left of center and often evident in their reporting. (2)The media sometimes gets things wrong. and finally (3) A politician with a cult-like following and his leg-humpers in conservative media have thoroughly convinced the right not to believe anything negative the mainstream media reports about him, and thus anything the msm reports that does not make them happy, and ultimately anything at all the msm reports.

Joe Dumbasz six-pack listener to Erick's show now gives more credence to the deranged ramblings of some guy on the internet spouting dumbassery based on gut feelings that happen to align perfectly with his worldview than reporting from the NBC newsroom.

Makes perfect sense.

It took 12 hours before the media (AP) brought up Francis Scott Keys' ties to slavery, over 200 years ago. Frankly speaking, I'm surprised it took them so long.

the claim that the Biden administration orchestrated the accident so everyone would focus on infrastructure instead of the border...

So people in the Right are playing Mad Libs with the lib's mad nonsense...

While it’s often not true it can’t be ignored the effect of DEI on quality.

But it’s not just the pilot. Who serviced the engine. Who maintained it. Who took care of the ship and was it in good working order.

What does amaze me is that there has been collisions with bridges like this in the past. It lead to many changes like bumpers and concrete guards around the pillars. Why wasn’t that even done in this instance where there were massive multi ton tanker ships going in and out on a regular basis.

That’s my concern.

As we as a Nation now anxiously await the proposed eventual re-naming of the rebuilt bridge since of course it was named for a white man. (Never mind that he composed the Star Spangled Banner.) With that city being 63% black, we can be sure soon of the loud, persistent, highly publicized, aggrieved cacophony of agitation from black “leaders” for a “more fitting” new name. Problem is, there are just so very many hip hop and reggae and R&B and “rap artists” to choose from.

Apparently the bridge over the Savannah River at the Port of Savannah has supports that are in such shallow water and out of control ship would go aground long before hitting them. If you recall, the former bridge at the Port of Brunswick was hit (twice I think) and the new Sydney Lanier bridge is protected. You can even see the protective islands on Google Earth views. So, their only issue is car carriers incompetently capsizing themselves in the channel.

It will take years to remove the debris and build a new bridge. The economic costs will be staggering.

We are pissing away money all over. What would it have cost to add protection to the bridge supports? This isn’t the first bridge to be hit by a ship. The usual excuse is that this is an ultra rare occurrence. Tell that to the families that now have to deal with an empty chair at the dinner table.
