Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott Calls on Media to ‘Stop Showing’ Bridge Collapse Video
Breitbart ^ | 03/26/2024 | JEFF POOR

Posted on 03/26/2024 9:37:10 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During an appearance on CNN on Tuesday, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott asked the media to stop showing footage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge’s collapse in his city, suggesting the footage could have a detrimental impact on family of victims and people in his city.

“Well, it was something out of an action movie,” he said. “It’s something you never think you would see. And being here, right now, looking at it, is even more surreal. And it just makes you think about, again, those families — those individuals that were on that bridge. Those folks, even on that vessel, even more, because no one should have to endure.”

“And I’m going to be the first to ask that CNN and everyone else stop showing the video,” Scott added. “No one needs to see a possibility of their family member being severely injured or otherwise over and over and over again because it’s just traumatizing our community.”

One fact that no one states is the bridge is not in Baltimore City. It spans the river between Baltimore County (a separate municipality from Baltimore City) and Anne Arundel County. This did not happen in the City of Baltimore.

Gotta admit. That video is sorta a metaphor.

Your Metaphor May Vary

From the video it appears the fast moving ship turned and targeted the bridge support.

No one that isn’t stuck in an airport.

“...suggesting the footage could have a detrimental impact on family of victims and people in his city...”

That’s not the reason. He’s just embarrassed that the whole world can see the shoddy engineering, construction, graft, and corruption that is representative of a big American democrat city. The bloody thing collapsed like a giant erector set with all loose screws.

Why? Because your DEI program is working so well? I bet they were training a DEI person and they could not do the job. Merit based hiring please.

A perfect display of Newton’s laws.

The ship was doing 7 knots when it hit.

I wouldn’t lay this on infrastructure. The center span of the bridge ought to be free-standing, not physically connected to the pavement at either end. This allows tor seasonal changes in the span’s length, as temperatures vary. A span that long will change a couple of inches. I would think.

Is the Baltimore Mayor old enough to drive, and did he really give a press conference in a high school letter jacket?
