Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse – Black Swan Event
Armstrong Economics ^ | 28 Mar 24 | Martin Armstrong

Posted on 03/30/2024 9:30:34 AM PDT by delta7

“… Others believe this was a deliberate attack of US infrastructure based on various factors that do not seem to add up. Could it have been an inside job or a foreign agent? The truth will come to light, as it always does.

Let me begin by explaining how crucial the Francis Scott Key Bridge was to America’s supply chain. Around 52.3 million tons of international cargo estimated to be worth $80.8 billion passed through the port in 2023. Around 4,900 trucks, carrying around $28 billion in goods, must be rerouted due to the bridge collapse.

It is the second busiest strategic roadway in the US for hazardous materials. These hazardous materials include diesel fuels. Did you know that diesel fuel is not permitted to be transported via tunnel? Fuel prices will rise, fertilizer prices will rise. The bridge was built to handle hazardous materials like propane, nitrogen, highly-flammable materials, large cargo materials, and more.

The timing could not have been worse for American agriculture.…”

Dominio Sugar has a big plant there. A lot of US sugar is shipped out of that port.

“ It was going full speed at time of impact.”

If that ship was going full speed it would have dragged that bridge about half a mile into Chesapeake Bay. LOL.

Of course everything you say is true.

This source has a long history of writing nonsense like this without a grain of common sense or truth to it. Yet some continue to post from it.

They will be coming to protest the repair of the bridge as all the CO2 that will be released will harm the fish in the river and lead to an imbalance in nature that will then lead to an extinction level event in about 6-9 month from now unless we abandon the use of fossil fuel and energy production to off set the massive, never happened in the history of the earth release of hydrocarbons and CO2 to repair that bridge.
And the only ones benefiting from this is the military/industrial complex and the world bank. And WEF & the UN.

We can stand without the nonsense put downs. You don’t know everything, so knock it off.
