Holy shit.
The whole bloody thing is in the water!
Got hit by a massive container ship.
Fucking hell.
I hope nobody was on the damn thing when it collapsed.
Look at it!
It’s GONE!
Fuck.
What’s that?
They already changed the wording on its Wikipedia page?
Jesus Christ wikipedia!
You fuckers really do work fast!
Oh my GOD!
I’m not trying to sensationalise this btw.
I just wasn’t expecting it.
I’m not anticipating such incidents like some ghastly disaster-worshipping ghoul with issues.
I just hope nobody was hurt or killed.
I also worry that the conspiracy nuts will try saying it was faked or some crap. Fuck that shit!

Liberty Ship SS Jeremiah O'Brien – Pier 45 – San-Francisco – Californie – Etats-Unis – 8 mars 2008
Photographe : Mike Hofmann
Les Liberty Ship sont des cargos produits en très grande série à partir d'éléments préfabriqués soudés à l'arc électrique et destinés à ravitailler les forces alliées. La technique de fabrication imaginée par l'industriel Henri Kaiser permit d'obtenir des cadences de production qui compensaient les pertes occasionnées par les sous-marins allemands dans l'Atlantique. La durée moyenne de fabrication était de 42 jours avec un record établi à 4 jours au lieu de 12 mois environ pour une fabrication classique. La rapidité de construction et le faible coût de production permirent d'en construire 2 710, ce qui fit de ce navire le modèle le plus construit dans le monde.
Seuls deux cargos sont encore en état de naviguer : ils ont été transformés en navires musées aux États-Unis dans les années 2000, le SS John W. Brown à Baltimore et le SS Jeremiah O'Brien à San Francisco.

Have you ever seen something so magnificent and awful that you start to question your sanity?
I have.
It floated among the fog like a specter. I felt fear.
Those cranes I have only ever seen on ports. To see them on a ship is just. . .
You had to be there.

Of course a cargo ship can bring down a bridge!
Even an idiot would know that!

That shit could crack a fucking minesweeper in HALF!!!!!!!! (Yes that did happen!)

Fucking brainlets!
