Was the Captain drunk?

US again

Hmm

The bridge wasn't busy at that time, if not we would be saying something else by now

How did the ship knowing wanted to tru a bridge dt is too low for it.

WriterNg Oya come and do ur usual thing of hating the US


Nairalanders, pls avoid this this troll.. He is the same person using different moniker

(Prigidypogodo Xosh leisuretym Alhajicso bukkiexchange01). What they do is to blackmail you with no evidence

Americans do commit errors too.. We are all humans

America under Joe Biden has become almost third world country

Idiot. The entire thing will be remedied in a maximum of 2 months. If it were to be your Tinubulation piloted Nigeria, 20 years and you still on it. Yet, America is your problem.

they'll fix it sharp

It was crazy, looks like something from a movie. I had to put my car in reverse and race out of the melee like a real life Vin Diesel

open ur head n recieve sense, say amen

In SANER CLIMES this can't be possible. hahaha

It's not the fact that the bridge collapsed that is the problem. It's the swiftness of the reaction to the accident that lies the problem. Accidents are bent to happen but, it is the mechanism put in place too minimize the effect of such accidents that's important. If it were to be in a country in Africa it would have been a case of OYO for the next 24 hours after the required agency had waited for files to be submitted to the oga at the top.

The bridge was constructed by a nigger that's why it didn't last long

Only god knows what many would have said if this had happen in Nigeria or any African Country!!!


Guess how long it will take them to reconstruct the Bridge....
