An Italian-American bridge thought it could fight an Irish-American ship. It's just normal Boston stuff.

Excellent point.

There was no boat, sometimes bridges just do that.

Buttigieg did it to up his profile. He'll be at the wreckage site in a hardhat with look of revolve and he'll opine "Well, let me say this. It's not a sizzling, glamorous issue, but the shape of our infrastructure is the issue that affects every other issue."

If we can light up a bridge, we can

[–] EnsignRedshirt@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

There was never a bridge there to begin with. Baltimore is just making all this up to get attention.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I saw this at a comment at a different site...

  1. North Korean hackers, with the aid of the DNC, made the ship lose power because Agenda 21 Year Zero NWO the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

  2. Somehow Mexicans did it by existing in large quantities in Baltimore.

Somehow Mexicans did it by existing in large quantities in Baltimore.

Uh, most Hispanic people in Baltimore are Salvadorian.

[–] oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It doesn't matter what part of mexico they came from! /s

There is a joke on Maryland, "every Mexican restaurant here mysteriously has pupusa on the menu, and a El Salvador flag in the kitchen 🇸🇻"

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

That's what they want you to believe

The ghost of Frank Sobotka tore down the bridge he was murdered under.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

The Ghost of Frank Sobotka should be a song or even better - a miniseries.

Footage was doctored, the boat never existed. The bridge just did that on its own, because of Woke.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

because of Woke

That's the perfect three word explanation for anything right-wingers don't like or that is a bad situation.

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Still a timeless conspiracy theory that has not been debunked

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It was an inside job at the behest of Biden and Big Rail. They're trying to replace all road bridges with rail bridges at all costsfrothingfash

boat fuel doesn't melt steel beams

anti-bridge protest by pro-ferry forces

The orca attacks are back

[–] GunslingerSky@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

The person riding a bicycle to power the ship got eepy and that's why the power went out

This was a Turkish attack meant to weaken the Baltimore Greek community!

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Gladio Terror Organization testing out direct infrastructure attack tactics because destroying Baltimore infrastructure likely to be statistically invisible to forensic analysis.

kinda like you try out a new weapon or explosive on an old abandoned car in the woods.

Maryland isn't racist enough, and that made God sad so therefore bad things happened.

Conspiracy to advance US interests: It was a cyber attack by state actors that led to the ship malfunction.

Conspiracy to blame Captain of the Port as a scapegoat so US won't admit fault: Captain of the Port didn't mandate use of harbor tugs for moving past the bridge (it should be a regulation, that its not is ridiculous).

Conspiracy theory to advance private economic interests: Like 9-11, it's better to take out skyscrapers and critical infrastructure using accidents so the public bears the costs rather than the owners.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

due to neglect, a light breeze could have done that. instead, it was done by a WOKE cargo ship flying a SINGAPOREAN flag. and as we all know from our favorite senator Tom Cotton, that's just a different kind of chinese. joe brandon is doing a CHINESE CCP false flag operation!

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Everyone has an off day at work

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

This is not a conspiracy theory but don't tell the OP, please.

The power outage on the ship was caused by Stuxnet remnants

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

CIA made it look like ìSingapore did it deliberately but made it seem like an accident for the whole banning tiktok thing,

Palestinian sympathizer took the Houtus message to hesrt and ever-given America's 9th largest port.
