Moment crane crashes into NYC's iconic Brooklyn Bridge, leaving steel beam cracked - but engineers say it caused NO structural damage

This is the nail-biting moment that a crane crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge - leaving a steel beam cracked as shocked locals recorded the incident.

The barge hit the iconic New York City bridge at 8am on Wednesday morning, causing a rupture in the bottom structure. But engineers said that it caused no structural damage.

The boat was carrying a crane when it struck the side of the landmark.

Michelle Krupa with the Coast Guard Operations Unit said: 'A crane barge was traveling underneath the bridge and a crane struck a track system underneath the bridge for the maintenance.'

Speaking about the damage, she said: 'Not serious damage, it did look like some damage to the track system.'

The FDNY also confirmed that there was no structural or integrity damage to the suspension bridge.

No one was injured during the ordeal, and the bridge is still open to the public.

Officials are still investigating the situation.

After seeing the scary video, one NYC local wrote: 'Iโ€™ll skip that route until further notice.'

Her grandfather wanted to join the Coast Guard, but they drummed him out.

Don’t forget about all the people still recovering from the lingering effects of the previous evenings alcohol binge or the residual effects of cannabis on their brains.

You’re forgetting about the public school system’s failures which leaves people of all ethnicities uneducated and less than capable.

Sure hope that does not hurt the sale price.

Given the nature the market of potential buyers, it can only increase the sale price.

Too late Morgana - Hunter already sold the bridge to the Chinese for 40 million and slipped the ‘big guy’ 10%.

Later when Xi was asked if he really thought he owned the bridge he winked and nodded...

The steel wide flange section depicted is clearly shown to not be supporting the structure. The steel members running at right angles to the damaged section are connected to the suspension cables and are supporting the bridge.

There are no actual “beams” depicted. The damaged steel is said to be part of a track but no further info is given

The plan in chapter 40 is filled with all sorts of nooks and crannies, on this side and on that side.. ืžืคื”, ืžืคื”, ืžืคื”...

It's a map.

The Core of the Holy Temple Was Never Destroyed

In-Jew-New-ID... hovering...

Besides the background sources, years of posts are integrated into that shiur. Amazing imagery. Thanks.

Quite the Big Dig at the very Hub.
Merchav Shlomo -- because there's plenty of space.
(The modern emblem of that ancient place is the Sol radiating from its hub, the tradtional place for the giving of the Law.)

"There's an 'oren' right there. There's a kodesh hakodashim right there..."
Revealed and concealed. Twin Pines, Lone Pine...
It's not just part of the contents, the furnishings... the oren is the very structure of the place.
Check the map for the filming location -- Puente Hills Mall, south parking lot side. Movie-themed names are labeled.
Across the street is store #604 address 17370 (604 = Jerusalem Hub, ื”ืื‘ ื™ืจื•ืฉืœื™ื, a women's business center in the City Gates bldg.). It's not just part of the contents, the furniture... the 'Goods' are intrinsic, can't be destroyed.
Compare the outline of the parking lot road around the mall to the first maps of the Shawmut Peninsula, hovering like a dove.
The North End is the big AMC theatre.

Dinei Shamayim Laws (Courts) of Heaven:

According to a tannaitic statement in Bava Kamma 55b, there are four acts for which the offender is exempt from the laws of man but liable under the laws of heaven namely: he who breaks down a fence which encloses his neighbor's animal, so that it goes out and causes damage..

(That's the vid when he broke down the fence and killed a pine, an "oren".)

Is the animal the time machine or Marty? I'd have to say that the DMC is what broke the fence causing Marty to get loose and cause damage. After all, how many times did Doc tell him to lay low and not interact with anybody lest he destroy the space-time continuum?

Besides, "continuum" in Hebrew is right in there with the word for the "paver" that the priest saw that was "weird" from the others, so that's how he knew the Ark was under there. (https://www.sefaria.org/Yoma.54a.7?lang=bi)

x,y,z space... and t, time.

And on top of all that, the 85-letter Ark-on-the-move text is supposed to be with the tribes and their banners. A number of commentaries hit on the angle of the reverse nuns relating to falling. If it were a board game like "Life" those might mean to go back. Back one, forward 85, back one.

Note: If you are sent back to the Start, you must follow the Business route, but your salary does not change. Once a Doctor, always a Doctor.

Weird pavers, banners and traveling arrangements:

Funny how the banner looks more like a tooth. "Spirit (wind) of Elohim" = 300

Nobles also carried metal flags called fanes as they traveled. โ€œThey were a sort of medieval license plate,โ€ she says. Eventually these two symbols merged and, in 19th-century America, the popularity of weathervanes skyrocketed. They became a symbol of the common man, says Burks: โ€œAny person could put this elaborate metal banner on their house.โ€
