Someone asked me to look into these girls.  Holy fuck. I think there might be a classic British comedy fan choreographer involved...

One of my cats is a little more, how do you say it, aggressive when he wants food.

The bottle of fish flavored cat urinary tract supplement was on the kitchen counter. A walking distance of approximately 20 feet to where I was sitting.

I heard a little bit of a ruckus but I was busy doing something.

The industrious cat who has learned the command of "lay down" rolled the damn bottle all the way to me...

Cargo Ship strikes Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge causing great collapse

Wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Scott_Key_Bridge_collapse

The ship involved, Dali, is a Singapore-registered cargo vessel. The 229-metre-long (751 ft) ship left Baltimore at 01:00 EDT for Colombo, Sri Lanka.[8] It struck a column of the bridge at 01:27 EDT. The bridge strike and collapse was recorded on video.[9] The bridge broke apart in several places following the collision.[10] A Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD) spokesperson said vehicles were on the bridge at the time it collapsed, including one that was the "size of a tractor-trailer". The Dali caught fire and appeared to sink,[6] with a section of the bridge landing on its front part.[7]

Tugs get the ship out in the channel and then peel off. Then haul balls to the accident.

That is totally insane.

They lost power a few times and then tried to slam their shit in reverse.
Alien attack.
Has to be.

Or all the sour luck in the world concentrated on that ship at the exact wrong time. Probably the Aliens tough. Nasty bastards.

Serious thought here I thought tugboats regularly patrolled channels like that. I guess, if all their power was out, they probably didn't have any radios working either...

While seated in your car with a seatbelt on, a straight drop would probably be survivable, drownings another story, but with all that infrastructure falling around, I would imagine there's some pretty concussive shit going on that would incapacitate anybody in the cars...

I doubt any of the construction workers survived.  Falling into frigid water with heavy work boots on would make it almost impossible to swim.  Also, it definitely looks like the vessel was experiencing some type of propulsion / rudder problem, as we all noticed the ship's power blinking on and off.
