@Trumpsucks-hn7oh "The president cannot just close the border." we want it secured, not closed...

@davidhamilton6612 "then explain how bridges could be bombed several times in WWII and still be standing and able to hold the weight of several tons of armoured vehicles. Better engineering and design maybe?" you have to understand that it is simply not feasible to design and build every bridge in the country to withstand the impact of a fully loaded cargo ship traveling at 6 knots. it is not economically viable. they are simply not designed for such a thing. that's not what they are built or designed for. they are designed and built to carry road traffic. that's it. are YOU going to fund the design and construction of bridges that can withstand such impact loading??

america last! vote blue!

@arthurscott9549 "the president can close all of it. Half of it. 3/4 of it. You not knowing that speaks volumes" what makes you think that I dont now that?? (did you reply to the wrong post with this??)

@arthurscott9549 must have... brandon could reinstate the executive orders trump used to secure the border tomorrow morning! (but won't) all part of the "fundamental transformation"...

@davidhamilton6612 "that simply shows there was a defect in either the design or the engineering of the bridge, if not both." bridges are not designed for this... good grief.

@davidhamilton6612 "My point is that there are still bridges in the world that have been bombed to hell and back and they show zero signs of collapsing" if you say so, it must be true..

@davidhamilton6612 "Experts were reported as saying this morning that the bridge that collapsed shouldn't have collapsed as the cargo ship struck the protective barrier around the piles (20 years ago they were rated to withstand the damage of a fully loaded cargo carrier driving into it at 15 knots) " umm.... there was no protective barrier that I saw. rip rap, yes... protective barrier? not that I saw.. the ship hit the supporting pier. what do you do for a living?

@davidhamilton6612 "(20 years ago they were rated to withstand the damage of a fully loaded cargo carrier driving into it at 15 knots)" so these "experts" told you that this bridge was 19 years old????? use your brain...

@davidhamilton6612 "The bridge was built in 1990, that is 34 years ago. Are you that dense?" why the adolescent insults david? does that make you feel better? is it really necessary? YOU stated: "Experts were reported as saying this morning that the bridge that collapsed shouldn't have collapsed as the cargo ship struck the protective barrier around the piles (20 years ago they were rated to withstand the damage of a fully loaded cargo carrier driving into it at 15 knots) and also stated that while the bridge was "up to code", the code referenced had been obsolete for at least 3 decades." so which of these codes were in place when the bridge was built? and where did you see this expert say this? why do these questions make you angry?

@davidhamilton6612 "Look at all the bridges in your local area. They all have some sort of barrier at the base to protect the upright pilings." you are obviously not an engineer, nor do you work at a shipping container port... what you see at the base of these piers is called "rip rap". Riprap is a layer of large stones that protects soil from erosion in areas of high or concentrated water flows. It is especially useful for armoring channel and ditch banks, among other features. it is not designed to stop fully loaded cargo ships... it is to prevent "scouring". Bridge scour is the removal of sediment such as sand and gravel from around bridge abutments or piers. Hydrodynamic scour, caused by fast flowing water, can carve out scour holes, compromising the integrity of a structure. you're welcome
