I won't ask why the Mexican Navy was sailing up that far. I'll just ask they pay for all damages done to our bridge.

[Dr. Franklin]

While the headline is spectacular, the story is just more Mexicans coming to the U.S. for free healthcare. Hopefully, they don’t father any anchor babies before they depart.

[piasa]

That has nothing to do with this.

[Morgana]

Free healthcare? How about the damage to our freaking bridge? Is no one going to bill Mexico for that?

[Chickensoup]

Looks like the bridge won.

[piasa]

They are here for a port visit.

The ship is a training vessel and was to take part in next year’s celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the United States.

Two people are dead and families are grieving.

[Dr. Franklin]

That has nothing to do with this.

Do you think the Mexican government is going to pay for their hospital stays and medical care?

[plain talk]

[Morgana]

“Looks like the bridge won.”

So far yes but engineers will still have to check it for hidden damage. We won’t know this overnight but if any damage is found will Mexico pay for it?

[Fiji Hill]

Why are we seeing so many ship collisions in this age of global positioning technology and sophisticated radar?

[bunkerhill7]

We don’ need no stinkin bridges.

[Morgana]

Their Captain can’t sail worth shit! I’d rather sail with the Captain of the Exxon Valdez, he may be blind stinking drunk be he can see a freaking bridge.

Mexican Navy still using sail boats to train? Planning for Waterworld?

[BradyLS]

Training vessel, eh? They need to train on safety, engine maintenance, navigation, and skip some of that dog-and-pony stand-on-the-yardarms stuff.

[BradyLS]

Because folks rely more and more on their fallible, hackable gizmos and gadgets rather than stand watches, alert and ready, observing their surroundings using their Mark 1 Eyeballs.

Tijuana headlines: “American Bridge Attacks Mexican Ship!”

ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN... headline: "Trump Attacks Mexico".

[PUGACHEV]

Did not they have a pilot to guide them into the harbor?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wish next time they’d bring an adobe dinghy and leave the huge flag home. Those damn bridges are expensive.
