In other news

In other news

In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there are important, interesting or just plain weird things happening out there and a group of people can find these better than one.

I thought I would test with a thread for linking general news articles about "other news" and discussion. Perhaps it goes into the abyss that is page 2 and beyond, but it is worth a try.

Some guidelines:
- Try to find the "clean link", so that links to the news site directly and not a social media site. Avoid "amp-links" (google).
- Write some cliff notes on what it is about, especially if it is a video.
- It's not an excuse to make outlandish claims via proxy or link extremist content.
- If it's an editorial or opinion piece, it is polite to mark it as such.
- Note the language if it is not in English.
- There is no demand that such things be posted here, if you think a piece merits its own thread, then make one.

PB sees explosions in his morning cereal.

Snap, crackle, and POP!

by Luciom P

I don't know which explosions you are referring to, I didn't see any

The ones behind the grassy knoll, silly!


Stackin Ls. These next several months are gonna kick ass


How much money and time been lost on this I wonder …
Amazing .


I thought the larger explosion on the left was the ship. It caught on fire after the crash.

I'm interested in what happened on the ship. Has any news reported how many people were on it and who the captain was? Wondering if the captain had some medical incident which led to the crash.

The bridge took over 4 years to build in the 1970s, so it won't be a quick repair job.

Harbor pilot from Baltimore was in control.

Ive read there was a fire, crew tried to anchor, but the silt in the harbour prevented full stop


i think people in general, myself included, are just really really bad at judging the size scale of things outside of our immediate vicinity. the boat is more than 200 million pounds. the transfer of force at even a slow speed must be enormous.

Sparks from the power line shorting out/breaking on the metal bridge?

It was more than just sparks though, they were fire balls about the size of a car (there's construction vehicles on the roadway right below one of the fireballs, and at one point the fireball looks even bigger than one of the trucks below it).

I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything but I'm just curious why these huge fireballs came shooting out of only those key (no pun intended) parts of the bridge.

The captain is from Ukraine. They said they lost total power and control of the ship.

Good to know.


Pb, i watched the legit video for the first time and i wouldnt say those were large explosions, but pausing a spark at the perfect time can certainly make it look like one.

We dont know how this bridge is powered but a high voltage discharge can cause all kinds of **** to happen, including explosions or nothing at all. Nothing here looks suspicious.


I can't think of a better place to place explosives if I want to bring down a bridge.

I do agree the definition of large is subjective, but these were about the size of a bus when it was at full flare-up. Sparks from a wire powering a flashing beacon's light bulb on top of the bridge can cause that? Hopefully the conspiracy theory nuts don't turn this into something different, just trying to give them the correct scientific answer on what could cause these bursts of flames through the metal to shut them up

Ikr. I was beginning to wonder.


These broke-brains and their aidsnalysis of pretty much any externality lmao


So they set bombs to go off right after the ship hits? lol

It's obviously a clever distraction.

Obviously a next level double bluff triple range merge ldo.

Also, these guys were spotted near the scene:



The prominent right-wing are all unscrupulous weirdos.

Even Playbig doesn't want to share the conspiracy theorist label with luckbox.

I'm fine being called a Truther.

It's better than its antonym.

Pick something you think I'm wrong about if you want. I doubt you even have a clue what I think about anything though.

That can go for anyone. I'll debate anyone on any topic I have a view on.
