okay because I'm seeing some misinfo, here's the story on the Key Bridge collapse

What was the Key Bridge?

The Francis Scott Key Bridge (also called the Key Bridge, the Beltway Bridge, and the Outer Harbor Crossing) was steel-arch continuous-through-truss bridge spanning the Patapsco River south of the Baltimore Harbor. The bridge took 5 years to build and cost an estimated $145 million ($735 million in today's dollars). The full bridge project (including approaches) was 10.9 miles long, but the stretch over the Patapsco was 1.6 miles long and 4 lanes wide, and comprised a length of I-695, the Baltimore Beltway. It traveled between Hawkins Point and Dundalk, and in addition to the I-895 Harbor Tunnel was the primary way for Marylanders to cross from the Eastern Shore to the West. The bridge carried an estimated 11.5 million vehicles per year. There is a lane for ships to pass under the Key Bridge with enough clearance.

Was it structurally sound?

The bridge received its latest inspection in 2022 and received a 6/9 score, which is considered "fair" by federal standards. There was a concern with one of its columns, which was downgraded from a health index of 77.8 to 65.9, but it is not clear yet if this was one of the columns struck by the ship. In 1980 the bridge was struck by a different cargo ship which destroyed a concrete support structure, but the bridge itself was unharmed. There is as of yet no evidence that the bridge collapsed because of poor condition. Experts say the lesson to be learned is about the size and weight of modern cargo ships, and that the bridge was not to blame. Engineers have noted, however, that the bridge's piers lacked protective devices such as fenders.

What was the ship?

The MV Dali is a container ship flying the Singapore flag. It is owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd. and operated by Synergy Marine Group Ltd. The ship is currently being chartered by Maersk, a Dutch shipping company. It was built in 2015 by Hyundai. The ship is 980 feet long and 157 feet wide. The ship's gross tonnage (its internal volume) is 95,128 tons (190,256,000 pounds). Its deadweight (the weight of cargo it can carry) is 116,851 tons (233,702,000 pounds). The ship was carrying 3,000 containers. The engine is a MAN-B&W 9S90ME putting out 41,480 kilowatts (55,626 horsepower).

Over its lifetime the Dali has been inspected 27 times, and only 2 faults were ever found. On June 27, 2023 the Dali was held in port in Chile due to an issue with the propulsion system. According to an inspector the pressure gauges on the heating system were "unreadable". The fault was fixed before the ship left port.

The Dali is crewed by 22 Indian nationals including 2 maritime pilots.

What happened?

The Dali arrived at the Port of Baltimore on March 23, 2024. At 12:44 AM on March 26, 2024 the Dali left port, beginning its journey to Colombo, Sri Lanka. At 01:26 AM the ship suffered a "complete blackout" and began to drift out of the shipping lane. It is not yet known what caused the electrical failure. The backup generator did not power the propulsion system. At around 01:26 AM the crew of the Dali sent a mayday distress call to the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) informing them of the loss of power and that a collision with the Key Bridge was possible. The anchors were dropped as an emergency measure to attempt to slow or stop the vessel. At the request of one of the pilots traffic flow over the bridge was immediately halted. Black smoke was seen coming from the Dali, which experts believe was the result of the crew managing to restart the power system to regain some maneuvering capability.

At 01:28 AM the Dali, traveling at 8 knots (considered to be a fast speed) collided with a support strut beneath the Key Bridge's metal truss at the southwest end of the bridge. A Baltimore resident said he heard the collision and that it "felt like an earthquake". Emergency teams began receiving 911 calls at 01:30 AM, and the Baltimore Police Department were alerted at 01:35 AM. One of the officers present radioed that he was going to go onto the bridge to alert the construction crew as soon as a second officer arrived, but the bridge collapsed seconds later.

What was the damage?

The Key Bridge has completely collapsed. The metal truss relies on structural tension from the bridge itself to maintain its rigidity. As soon as one of the support columns was destroyed, the rest of the bridge quickly followed.

The damage to the Dali is reported as minimal. The ship was impaled by the bridge's structure above the waterline, but has maintained watertight integrity. The crew has not reported any water contamination from its 1.8 million gallons of marine fuel. 13 containers carrying potentially hazardous material were damaged, and are being inspected by a team of Coast Guard divers. At least 5 vehicles including 3 passenger cars and a cement mixer were detected underwater, but authorities do not believe they were occupied

Who was hurt?

The crew of the Dali reports no casualties, except one crewmember who was hospitalized for minor injuries. There was a crew of 8 construction workers on the Key Bridge filling in potholes. 2 were immediately pulled from the water by rescue crews, with 1 being rushed to emergency care and the other reporting minor injuries and refusing treatment. The hospitalized worker has since been discharged. 1 of those rescued was Mexican. The remaining 6 remain missing. Of those 6, 2 have been identified:

Miguel Luna from El Salvador

Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval from Honduras

Of the remaining 4, 2 are Guatemalan nationals. Neither have been identified, but the Guatemalan Foreign Affairs Ministry has stated that they were a 26-year-old from San Luis, Petén, and a 35-year-old from Camotán, Chiquimula. The other 2 are presumed to be Mexican.

Rescue Efforts

The Coast Guard was immediately deployed for search-and-rescue operations. Military Blackhawk helicopters were seen over the river. Rescue efforts were ended at 07:30 PM on March 26, 2024 due to darkness, fog, and cold temperatures. Rear Admiral Shannon Gilreath said "Based on the length of time that we've gone in the search, the extensive search efforts that we put into it, the water temperature -- at this point, we do not believe that we're going to find any of these individuals still alive". Recovery operations resumed at 07:30 AM on March 27, 2024 with all 6 workers presumed dead.

No divers have yet entered the water underneath the bridge. Supervisory Special Agent Brian Hudson of the FBI's Underwater Search and Evidence Response Team said "the debris field is pretty sizable and I know that’s why they’re hesitant to send divers down because some of the debris is still shifting, the heavy weight of the rocks". The FBI has deployed Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) equipped with cameras and SONAR.

Aftermath

At 05:08 AM on March 26, 2024 Transportation Secretary Pete Buttegiege posted on X (formerly Twitter):

"I’ve spoken with Gov. Moore and Mayor Scott to offer USDOT’s support following the vessel strike and collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge. Rescue efforts remain underway and drivers in the Baltimore area should follow local responder guidance on detours and response."

At 07:30 AM on March 27, 2024 President of the Maryland State Senate Bill Ferguson posted on X (formerly Twitter):

"Over 15,000 in the Balt region rely on daily operations at Port of Baltimore to put food on the table. Today, with Del. @LukeClippinger and colleagues representing Port, we are drafting an emergency bill to provide for income replacement for workers impacted by this travesty."

At around 09:40 AM on March 26, 2024 Maryland Governor Wes Moore and Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott declared a State of Emergency to take effect at 10:30 AM March 26, 2024, and to last 30 days. Baltimore's Emergency Operations Plan was put into effect.

More than 1,000 personnel from the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) have been deployed to assist with clearing the debris and rebuilding efforts. President Joe Biden has pledged that the federal government will pay for the entire reconstruction of the bridge.

Jennifer Homendy, the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has recovered the Dali's data recorder, and will be inspecting both the Key Bridge and the Dali to determine the cause of the crash and the collapse. She says the investigation could take up to 2 years to complete.

Was it intentional?

According to William DelBagno, head of the FBI's Baltimore field office: "There is no specific or credible information to suggest there are ties to terrorism in this incident".

Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said: "There are no indications this was an intentional act".

At least 3 people have been killed in accidents related to ships operated by Synergy in the past 6 years. In 2018 a person on board a Synergy ship in Australia was killed in an accident relating to the vessel's personnel elevator. In 2019 an officer aboard a Synergy vessel in Singapore fell overboard while performing maintenance. In 2023 at least one sailor was killed when a Synergy ship collided with a dredging ship in the Philippines. In the first two cases safety inspectors noted that proper safety procedures had not been adhered to.

Are there areas where there are no ghouls (not because of being wiped out by humans or lack of food but for idk maybe environmental/evolutionary reasons)?

Yes!!

Ghouls are capable of rapid mutation and adaptations, so for the most part ghouls can acclimate to any environment. The one factor that decides if they can live somewhere isn’t the environment, but whether or not there are humans, and if they are healthy and plentiful enough that at least one can go missing every month to feed them

The most obvious place where there are no ghouls is Antarctica. Although there have been extreme cold adapted ghouls in other places, they never made their way there because there was no prey. There’s been a story in the news once about a ghoul that ended up in the arctic somehow, but that ended with a research facility being massacred for meat before the ghoul was exterminated. Even though humans are starting to go there in small groups, there isn’t enough to support a ghoul population

Madagascar. It’s a lovely land with plenty of humans inhabiting it, but historically the people there did not take kindly to ghouls and did a very good job of eradicating them. The Malagasy created a fighting style of cornering ghouls and using a thin blade to go through their eyes where their skin isn’t protected, and managed to completely rid the island nation of ghouls long before any other large scale ghoul extermination operation in history. Pretty soon mainland ghouls got the memo not to go there, because they were the single most effective group of ghoul hunters before the invention of quinque steel

Parts of Siberia. This is another case of their simply not being enough meat. Russian ghouls have specific adaptations for surviving on small populations, the ability to consume the blood of live humans without killing them so they can continue to feed on the same people, but sometimes it’s still not enough. The remote and extremely cold sections of Siberia had ghouls once, surviving on this method of live feeding, but when the bubonic plague reached Russia it had catastrophic effects on the ghouls. Ghouls in large populations struggled enough to find healthy meat, but those in these isolated villages were left with little to no safe options, and their feedings actually spread the plague to those few uninfected. Soon enough ghouls in those places completely died out of starvation or the sickness picked up from their prey, and by the time travel got easier, so was the spread of information, and those remote settlements now knew to check anyone coming into town for fangs

Sri Lanka. It was a single event that wiped out the ghouls there, and it wasn’t hunting or a lack of food, but a rabies outbreak. The ghoul community there was close knit and when one ghoul got it, it spread between them very fast. Those ghouls who did not already have it had to flee to India, and once the infected ghouls died off there was a period of history where there were no ghouls. The refugees had no way of knowing if it was safe to come back and many had made new lives for themselves that they weren’t going to lose to risk going back to where the danger may still be present. There were no ghouls there until colonization brought European ghouls, who in turn spread the information that the plague was gone and some Sri lankan ghouls began returning. It was quite the surprise to the European ghouls when this land of humans who were no longer used to being hunted started having its own ghouls return and chase them out of their nation. The ghoul population is back in full swing in modern times, and with a very interesting history

Just a reminder that special status is also attached to being "His/Her Royal Highness". The HRH, in itself, is a diplomatic status as it means the HRH individual, in their capacity as a royal, represents the monarch and the royal household. This applies when they travel for work to another country. If they travel for holiday or leisure in a.pricate capacity it's different.

But .. then it also depends on the individual. Who they are, How seriously they take themselves, their official threat assessment and most importantly where they stand in the line of succession.

So, for example, if William or Camilla or Catherine travel to, say, Hawaii or Sri Lanka or Seychelles for a private holiday, they would inform the govt of the host country because that's a security and diplomatic requirement. But we have seen in recent years that at least these 3 individuals travel for private holidays without making any fuss and news doesn't even come out. They are given discreet protection, but mostly their RPOs, who have diplomatic status as well, are their security. All travel+lodging logistics are coordinated between the host country and UK security agencies and RPOs and a security officer is the point of contact.

When Charles travels, being King, he has to announce before and say which country he is traveling to. The arrangements and setup is all the same as above. And yet, in a private capacity the king remains low key.

Someone like Anne or Edinburghs or York girls travel for holiday, they do so as the rest of us common folk. They usually do not have security. Anne doesn't. Sophie and Ed may have 1 RPO if the security agencies say so, otherwise not.

Long story short, taking away Harry and meghans HRH was a big deal. And why they insist on their kids having titles and implying that the kids may be HRH (but in reality they don't, because that's what was agreed at the Sandringham summit).

At the end of the day, there HRHs weren't officially stripped, they were simply asked to no longer use them. We all know Harry and Meghan's word is worth nothing.

Beatrice and Eugenie are also HRHs but are not working royals, therefore they do not represent the monarch. Not all HRH's represent the Monarch, but all working royals do.

Killer Whales of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is probably not the first country you think of when you hear “killer whales.” But indeed, they can be found cruising the waters off this island nation if you look hard enough.

Research on Sri Lanka’s killer whales is still in its infancy. Back in 2013, Orca Project Sri Lanka (OPSL) was born, a community science effort founded by scientists in order to learn more about the killer whales around Sri Lanka. They began with only 9 photo-identified individuals, but thanks to the work of photographers, community members, and whale watching companies, the catalog stands at 39 individuals as of 2019.

The project has provided insight into the lives of these mysterious killer whales. Like other killer whales in tropical areas, Sri Lanka’s killer whales are a bit brownish in color, posses very faint saddle patches, and have somewhat shorter dorsal fins compared to their northern counterparts. Information on their diet is scant, but there are records of them preying on sperm whales and beaked whales (and there’s a chance they may go after blue whales on rare occasions).

For several years, the range and movements of these killer whales remained a mystery. Were they “resident” to Sri Lanka, or did they venture elsewhere in the Indian Ocean? In 2015, OPSL discovered one pod of Sri Lankan killer whales, pod 6, had actually been seen in 2008 near Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. In 2019, those same whales were documented making the 3,300 kilometer trip a second time. Why might these whales be traveling such long distances? Right now, it remains a mystery.

Engage your target audience effectively by crafting personalized content that resonates with their interests and travel preferences. One effective strategy is community building through interactive posts that encourage participation and dialogue. By creating a sense of belonging and fostering discussions around travel experiences in Sri Lanka, you can deepen the connection with your audience.

Local partnerships play a vital role in audience engagement. Collaborating with local businesses, influencers, or organizations allows you to tap into their existing networks and reach a wider audience. Consider organizing promotional events or campaigns together to attract attention and generate buzz around your tourism offerings.

Interactive posts such as polls, quizzes, or contests can pique the interest of your followers and keep them engaged. Encourage user-generated content by asking for travel photos or stories, showcasing them on your social media platforms to create a sense of community and inclusivity.

Increased Website Traffic

Driving more visitors to your website is crucial for maximizing the online visibility and reach of your Sri Lankan tourism offerings. By leveraging social media marketing, you can significantly boost your website traffic through organic growth and SEO optimization.

Organic growth refers to the gradual increase in website visitors over time through unpaid channels such as search engine results. Implementing effective SEO optimization strategies can enhance your website's visibility on search engines like Google, making it easier for potential travelers to find your Sri Lankan tourism content.

Through engaging social media posts that link back to your website, you can attract users who are genuinely interested in exploring the beauty of Sri Lanka.

Maximizing website traffic through social media efforts can lead to increased bookings, higher brand awareness, and a stronger digital footprint for your Sri Lankan tourism offerings.

Influencer Partnerships

To enhance the online visibility and reach of your Sri Lankan tourism offerings, consider forging strategic partnerships with influential individuals in the travel and lifestyle industry. Collaborating with influencers can bring forth a powerful combination of authentic storytelling and creative collaborations that resonate with audiences seeking unique travel experiences.

Influencers possess the ability to craft compelling narratives around your destination, weaving personal experiences and recommendations that showcase the beauty and culture of Sri Lanka. Through their authentic storytelling, they can capture the attention of their followers, sparking interest and curiosity about what the country has to offer.

Real-time Customer Feedback

For immediate insights into customer experiences with your Sri Lankan tourism offerings, leverage real-time feedback mechanisms to gather valuable input directly from visitors. By implementing real-time customer feedback tools on your social media platforms and website, you can actively monitor and respond to reviews, comments, and messages in a timely manner. This proactive approach not only shows visitors that their opinions are valued but also allows you to address any concerns promptly, improving customer satisfaction.

Real-time customer feedback plays a crucial role in shaping your online reputation in the competitive tourism industry. Positive reviews and quick responses to feedback can enhance your credibility and attract more tourists to explore what Sri Lanka has to offer.

On the flip side, addressing negative feedback promptly and professionally can help mitigate any potential damage to your reputation.

Cost-effective Advertising

Harness the power of targeted social media campaigns and strategic partnerships to maximize your reach and engagement while keeping costs low in your Sri Lankan tourism advertising efforts. By focusing on budget-friendly promotion strategies, you can effectively increase your online exposure and achieve marketing efficiency.

Social media platforms offer a cost-effective way to showcase the beauty of Sri Lanka's landscapes, culture, and attractions to a global audience. Utilizing targeted ads on platforms like Facebook and Instagram allows you to reach potential travelers based on their interests, demographics, and online behavior. This targeted approach ensures that your advertising budget is spent efficiently, reaching those most likely to be interested in visiting Sri Lanka.

Additionally, forming strategic partnerships with influencers, travel bloggers, and other tourism-related businesses can help amplify your message at a fraction of the cost of traditional advertising. These collaborations can significantly expand your digital reach, tapping into new audiences and markets that may have been previously untapped.

Incorporating these cost-effective advertising strategies into your marketing plan can help you achieve maximum impact with minimal expenditure, ultimately driving more visitors to explore the wonders of Sri Lanka.

Improved Customer Service

Enhance visitor satisfaction by implementing tailored customer service strategies that cater to the unique needs and preferences of travelers exploring Sri Lanka. By engaging in personalized interactions and providing quick responses to inquiries and feedback on social media platforms, you can significantly elevate the overall experience for tourists.

Moreover, utilizing social media for reputation management is crucial in ensuring the positive portrayal of Sri Lankan tourism. Promptly addressing any negative feedback or concerns can help mitigate potential crises and demonstrate a commitment to customer satisfaction.

Through effective crisis communication on social media, you can't only resolve issues swiftly but also showcase transparency and accountability, which are vital for maintaining trust and loyalty among visitors.

Strategic Content Distribution

Maximize the impact of your social media marketing efforts by strategically distributing compelling and relevant content to attract and engage potential travelers interested in exploring the wonders of Sri Lanka. Content creation plays a vital role in capturing the attention of your audience.
