/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

People are saying this?
You can see the boat crumpled the bridge like a piece of foil. It can obviously do it.
Oh yes... Right here on Lemmy some person said they should just drop some heavy concrete blocks near the bridge bases to stop the ship ...
No, they said they should add them to deflect the ship away from the pylons.
Fenders are common on modern bridge designs and work.

Were you the person who was downvoted for constantly arguing that nothing could be done despite being given lots of information otherwise?
Nope, I did argue that it was not as easy as someone was claiming (dropping "heavy blocks")
Only one person replied with a link, but their very link said no protection would stop this specific accident
PS: you should also read your links. They are not super detailed in that wiki article but nothing there detour, much less stop, the ship that knocked down the Baltimore bridge
