...and go where exactly?
Things are not easy here but unless you are buying into the Conservative narrative that even the bad weather is Trudeau's fault, "getting out" is not really a better option...

Nope, I did argue that it was not as easy as someone was claiming (dropping "heavy blocks")
Only one person replied with a link, but their very link said no protection would stop this specific accident
PS: you should also read your links. They are not super detailed in that wiki article but nothing there detour, much less stop, the ship that knocked down the Baltimore bridge
Oh yes... Right here on Lemmy some person said they should just drop some heavy concrete blocks near the bridge bases to stop the ship ...
Ehmm... Not from collisions like this one
From your link:
Shahbodaghlou said Bay Area bridges are engineered to withstand massive earthquakes and even typhoons. But he admits you cannot design for every possibility, like a direct hit from a massive container ship.
The San Francisco bridge is "protected" by the fact the water is too shallow for such large ships... So I guess the answer for Baltimore would be to ban ships this large
No clue, but that is not the point was replying to
You plan to lie down when the fascists come knocking? Meekly go on the train?
No, we just choose plans of action that don't amount to suicide and may actually change things...
Buddy, you clearly do no understand the magnitude of these ships or what 15 MegaJoules of energy is... You cannot "deflect" a ship this size even if a second Pilar of reinforced concrete would magically pop up in front of the bridge
They were not even at the wheel... Local crew manoeuvres these boats out of port
but I personally don't get brakes replaced or oil changes done for enterprise when I rent their cars...
Ok, now imagine Enterprise gave you a car with no brakes and an engine about to catch on fire.... You go out and kill a fam of 6
Then Enterprise reveals it's not really their car, it's a sub lease form a shady third party and therefore not their responsibility at all?
If someone pirated the music that I spent hours working on in the space I paid rent for, I am absolutely losing a sale that could really have helped me out
You are assuming they would have bought your music had pirating not been an option instead of just going without
It's the right turning light... In the shape of an arrow pointing left
