minus-squarethe_itsb [she/her, comrade/them]hexbear14·6 months agoThat is one of the scariest things I have ever seen in my life. This video has some more information: it happened around 1:30am officials think there were 7-20 people on the bridge when it collapsed that number includes workers involved in repairs on the bridge and people in cars there's also a diesel spill the boat that did it was a mile long container ship headed for Singapore and had only been underway for 30 min Terrifying horror for those 7-20, but I'm surprised it's so few. I can't imagine what it would have been at 1:30pm instead of 1:30am. link
minus-squaresomeone [comrade/them, they/them]hexbear13·6 months agoI just looked up this bridge on google maps. Am I right in thinking that this debris is also going to block access to the port facilities? link
minus-squarethe_itsb [she/her, comrade/them]hexbear10·6 months agoIdk how it couldn't?! At least for a day or so while they work to get a lane cleared for safe passage. I found this comment in another thread with more information, including a link to the BBC live coverage. link
