BALTIMORE, Maryland (Reuters) -- A 948-foot container ship smashed into a four-lane bridge in the U.S. port of Baltimore in darkness early on Tuesday, causing it to collapse and sending cars and people plunging into the river below.

Rescuers pulled out two survivors, one in very serious condition, and were searching for more in the Patapsco River after huge spans of the 1.6-mile (2.57 km) Francis Scott Key Bridge crumpled into the water.

Baltimore officials said at least seven people were believed to have been thrown into the water but could not give an exact figure hours after the collision, which closed one of the busiest ports in the United States.

The U.S. Coast Guard reported the collapse at 1:27 a.m. and crews were deployed for an active search and rescue mission after the Singapore-flagged container ship forced the trellis-like bridge up into a mangled mass of metal.

President Joe Biden was being briefed on the collision and there was no indication of nefarious intent, the White House said.

Work crews had been on the bridge at the time of the collapse and sonar detected vehicles under the water, which was about 50 feet deep at that point, said Paul Wiedefeld, Maryland secretary of transportation.

Jayme Krause was in the midst of another night shift at her workplace on shore when the cart of packages in front of her shook violently at around 2 a.m. A coworker told her the bridge had collapsed and she ran out to look.

"I went over there, and sure as anything, it was gone, the whole bridge was just like, there was nothing there," she told Reuters in an interview. "It was a shocking sight to see."

The ship "lost propulsion" as it was leaving port, and crew on board notified Maryland officials they had lost control of the vessel, ABC News reported, citing an unclassified U.S. intelligence report.

Traffic was suspended at the Port of Baltimore until further notice, Maryland transportation authorities said. It is the busiest U.S. port for car shipments, handling more than 750,000 vehicles in 2022, according to port data.

The closure of one of the U.S. East Coast's major ports threatens to disrupt supplies of goods from cars, to coal and other commodities like sugar. It could create bottlenecks and increase delays and costs on the Northeastern seaboard, experts say. The port handles the most car imports and is among the largest for coal exports.

The ship was identified as the Dali, owned by Grace Ocean Pte Ltd and managed by Synergy Marine Corp. Synergy said the Dali collided with one of the pillars of the bridge and that all its crew members, including the two pilots, had been accounted for and there were no reports of any injuries.

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott described a scene of twisted metal shooting into the sky. "It was something out of an action movie. It was something you never thought you'd see," he said.

Kevin Cartwright, the spokesperson for Baltimore City Fire Department, earlier told Reuters that as many as 20 people could be in the river along with cars and possibly a tractor-trailer.

"This is a mass-casualty, multi-agency event," he said. "This operation is going to extend for many days."

A live video posted on YouTube showed the ship ploughing into the bridge in darkness. The headlights of vehicles could be seen on the bridge as it crashed into the water and the ship caught fire.

Tuesday's disaster may be the worst U.S. bridge collapse since 2007 when the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis collapsed into the Mississippi River, killing 13.

It was the first major collapse of a bridge from a ship impact in about 40 or 50 years, David Knight, a specialist at the Institution of Civil Engineers, told Reuters.

Maryland Governor Wes Moore declared a state of emergency to quickly deploy federal resources to deal with the emergency. The FBI in Baltimore said on X its personnel were on the scene.

It was not immediately clear if any other vessels had been damaged or whether operations had halted to and from the port, shipping and insurance sources said.

The Dali was chartered by shipping company Maersk at the time of the incident, the Danish company said in a statement.

"We are horrified by what has happened in Baltimore, and our thoughts are with all of those affected," Maersk said.

Baltimore port's private and public terminals handled 847,158 autos and light trucks in 2023, the most of any U.S. port. The port also handles farm and construction machinery, sugar, gypsum and coal, according to a Maryland government website.

The port handles imports and exports for major automakers including Nissan, Toyota, General Motors, Volvo, Jaguar Land Rover and the Volkswagen group -- including luxury models for Audi, Lamborghini and Bentley.

More than 40 ships remained inside Baltimore port including small cargo ships, tug boats and pleasure craft, data from ship tracking and maritime analytics provider MarineTraffic showed. At least 30 other ships had signaled their destination was Baltimore, the data showed.

The bridge, named after Francis Scott Key, author of the Star Spangled Banner, opened in 1977.

So long story short, the special purpose acquisition company (a SPAC) under stock ticker DWAC merged with Trump's media company, which has increased by over a billion dollars in the last couple days. It's new trading ticker is DJT.

The fact this timeline only happened BECAUSE he got banned from all social media and is now exponentially richer because of it is hilarious.

What's more hilarious is that this comes after he got the bond reduction and extension just a couple days ago

Expect this to be taken well by libs

What will Fortnite be like under communism?

Will I have to give newer players my OG skins? (Keep in mind these are really OG, John Wick, Black Knight, etc.)

You probably won't be able to play Fortnite as much as you'd like because your parasitic lifestyle is supported by proletarians in different countries. The wasted electricity on these useless devices and the imperialist nation in which you reside will probably be radically transformed if a genuine socialist revolution took hold. [-52]

Under communism? Skins would either be available to everyone, or as prize for events I imagine. No more predatory micro transactions

Probably it be run on a peer to peer setup or community manged server setup like how some company abandoned MMOs that only the super fans still play. So it would probably be more region locked and I'd guess skins would just downloaded or some in game system rather than an eshop would distribute them.

A motion proposed by the right-wing Alternative for Germany to give asylum seekers payment cards instead of cash in the state of Saxony passed by a single vote after a left-wing lawmaker went for "a joint" and missed the vote.

The move was debated by the Dresden city council on Friday, with anti-mass migration councilors calling on the city to switch to topped-up cards to prevent asylum seekers from spending taxpayer-funded cash benefits in the black market on drugs and prostitution.

After many hours of debate, and ahead of the vote at 6 p.m., left-wing councilor Max Aschenbach announced on his X account that he was "going for a joint" and subsequently missed the crucial vote.

Around 15 minutes later, he returned to the chamber and posted: "Just came back up and everyone is bullying me because the stupid AfD payment card application was passed with the votes of the CDU and FDP."

The motion succeeded by a single vote with 53 in favor to 52 against.

An inquest is now underway among the co-governing FDP party and the opposition CDU as to why local lawmakers voted in solidarity with the AfD motion, with the long-standing practice being that Germany's mainstream parties do not support AfD motions.

CDU leader Freidrich Merz said the decision to support the motion was "correct in substance but unacceptable in procedure."

"That was a mistake. And we will talk to those affected about everything else," he added.

The topic of migrant payment cards has made national headlines in recent weeks as Germany attempts to clamp down on the misuse of taxpayer-funded benefits and lessen the pull factors for the latest influx of new arrivals into the country.

Last month, the Free Democrats (FDP) even warned that they could pull out of the three-way left-liberal government if the Green party blocked a new rule mandating benefit cards instead of cash payments to migrants.

Local municipalities across the country have already introduced laws stipulating that benefits must be paid via payment cards instead of cash, but this contravenes existing federal law, namely the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act, which states that migrants should receive payments "primarily as a cash benefit."

Plans to amend the law to move towards a cashless system are underway to ensure that funds stay off the black market and remain in the country, preventing migrants from sending cash back home and taking it out of the German economy.

Book: https://archive.org/details/incelcyclopedia-1/mode/2up

Interview:

Incelcyclopedia is the debut novella of stonecold truecel Reginald R*pes.

Written as a personal journal, Mr. R*pes describes his blackpilled experience with incisive social commentary. No work since Houellebecq's Whatever has provided such a penetrating analysis of modernity.

The hypocrisy of fakecels and volcels, the social suppression by Chads and Stacies, the manipulations of male feminist Jew billionaires and BIPOCs – all this is exposed and viscerally attacked with characteristic humor.

As I said, this is not just a social commentary but a coming-of-age story. Mr. R*pes details his lifelong journey through the incelphobic longhouse as he becomes the most vantablackpilled trvecel of them all.

And to add insult to injury, the incel life is being culturally appropriated by fakecels – he insightfully explains how an incel with thousands of followers is a contradiction in terms.

There will be no incel liberation movement, just an incelface LARP.

With this, Mr. R*pes concludes his tour-de-force.

A mere 24 pages, this is required reading for dramatards – a cultural classic to be put alongside MasterLawlz' film and Trace's anthropological studies.
