What the hell are people debating here? A 150.000 tonne object crashed into a structure made of thin sticks (comparatively speaking). There is no doubt that the bridge would collapse. Especially since an arch is only stable if it is undamaged.

Yes, but you forget: lots of people are stupid.

George Carlin never fails to be accurate: Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of them are even stupider than that.

He's not accurate, though. That'd be the median person. With the average person I'd expect much more than half to be stupider than that.

What measure are we using? Standard IQ is normal distributed so the mean and median are the same

“Can a cargo ship really lose steering even if power is lost?”

That’s the caption of a video I just went and found on Facebook shared by one of my distant hillbilly acquantances. I’m not even going to watch to see what it’s about.
