I guess the "journalists" have their theme for the year.
More shovel-ready jobs coming up.
...nor did he go under any span. He definitely went through one of them though!
Looks like the ship isn’t damaged too badly.
Now if the other span is taken out by a rocket carrying freighter parts, that will REALLY be a “Just damn!” moment.
Yes. Yes, he did.
LOL! You beat me to it.
“Looks like he didn’t go through the nav span...”
Yep, looks like the center one is higher.
OOPS!
“Recalculating”
Aw, so close. He almost made it.
Further evidence that our bridges and roads are crumbling and in need of repair!
This reminds of the series of videos posted to GoogTube I found yesterday called 11foot8 which is a train trestle that is only that tall. Guess what? Trucks run into it all the time. There are warning lights that flash if your truck is above that height but trucks still go through. The railroad company even installed a crash bar (I-beam) in front of the bridge because the collisions are so common.
Here’s a great compilation.

The freighter captain was told that the Kentucky Lake Reservoir was half-empty, but it was actually half-full.
Bridge is America. Ship is piloted by Barry Soetoro!
I think of a bridge “collapse” as the bridge falling in the water.
This one was carried down the river on the bow of the boat.
Don’t know what you would call it but is collapse the right word?
Ah, you don’t have to call the cops. Here’s a hundred bucks kid - have a good time.
The captain is a rocket surgeon.
