The incident on the Ohio River has made this look rather suspicious.

You talking about what happened in Pittsburgh?

You talking about what happened in Pittsburgh?

Yes

 

[Tomateaux Quinoa Gumbeaux]

Yes

I just googled that because I didn't hear about it until you mentioned it, so I'll refrain from commenting on it until I've read through what happened.

However, I was thinking about the Bridge scenario and that if terrorists really wanted to disrupt and destroy American cities, those would be the landmarks to target.

Imagine, on 9/11, if one of the planes that hit a WTC tower had hit the George Washington Bridge instead?

Knocking down the towers was startling, but knocking out a bridge like the GW would have taken decades to recover from fully.

Not really.

Those barges broke loose after historical flooding.

Hitting the towers was symbolic.

Hitting the towers was symbolic.

I get that, and that's why I said it was startling. It accomplished its goal in that regard for sure.

However, from a practical stand point, the bridge would've caused it to be a much bigger disaster.

Imagine destroy a major dam like Hoover dam.

Stop giving terrorists ideas.

Although.....imagine if they cleaned up the entirety of the floating plastic garbage patch in the Pacific. That would teach the fuck out of us.

I’ve been posting about putting tomatoes in gumbo for over 2 years now. If they haven’t adapted that yet, then there’s nothing that I am sharing today that will cross their radar.
