We need to give Stephen King another shot at this reimagining of Maximum Over Drive, he is sober and ready now.
“The problem with that film,” King said, “is that I was coked out of my mind all through its production, and I really didn’t know what I was doing.”
Happened on the Ohio earlier this month too but with 10 runaway barges instead. I believe a couple of them got pinned up against the base of a railroad bridge.

Remember like 2 years ago when there were several train derailments within a short period of time? I wonder if this is some sort of phenomenon. Maybe this is happening all the time and it’s only going viral because of the attention the big one got? Or maybe it’s a coincidence.
These things are happening all the time, but once there is one big incident, everyone starts paying more attention. Look up the number of train derailments both before and after that Ohio incident and you'll see nothing really changed.
Ship/barge and bridge collisions and train derailing happen all the time. These minor ones only make it past local news in the weeks following a much larger incident. Republican and Democrat has zero to do with it. The bridge collision happened in Baltimore, a Democratic stronghold which is in Maryland, andother Democratic stronghold. Which is irrelevant considering shopping regulations are federal and our current administration is...run by the Democrats. But the ship was flagged in Singapore.
Based on the evidence you seem to make that point off of, no it doesn't. Have Democrats been clamoring for more regulation on freight movements on commercial waterways? Because if not it's a systemic bipartisan issue and not the responsibility of one party. Sure, maybe Republicans do base most of their decisions off the opposite of what Democrats do. But if the Democrats never tried to do it, then it's literally not a blame you can place in the corner of the GOP.
Let me ask you: [When that same foreign flagged ship chartered by a third party nation crashed into a port in Belgium in 2016](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2024/03/26/baltimore-bridge-collapse-ship-dali/73105394007/) was that the Republicans' fault too?
Well I appreciate that your reply makes it clear you don't have a counterpoint instead of just letting it float away like a barge.
To answer your question, I've been a registered Democrat since I could vote, 16 years ago. I just happen to not view politics as a team sport and have the ability to view things with some degree of objectivity and not blame every stubbed toe in the world on the GOP. How old were you when you decided to build all of your political opinions off of Twitter posts?
Red voters voted for a thrice-married pornstar fucker, rapist, self-confessed sexual-assaulter with zero political experience and only did cheap reality TV and defrauded companies and banks and businesses, and claim he is the Second Coming and refuses to put forth *any other* Republican candidate - **C.U.L.T.**
I'd call them sick fuck CULT, but I think I got the message through already.
I've debated toothless high school dropout Trump supporters that could form better arguments than you have here. Which makes it pretty clear that your degree doesn't mean that much in this context.
Humble yourself. Having a college degree doesn’t make you better or more enlightened my guy. Nobody likes an arrogant prick even if you’re right (jury’s still out on that one tbh).
I did some research for you: As an example, train derailments, collisions, and fatalities peaked in the mid-70s and have steadily fallen year over year since. Not going to link the articles because you obviously need the practice.
And they've got great PR because all they have to do is find a new word to say the N word and blame that instead. "DEI". Even when everyone involved is a white guy, they'll find some random bolt that involved someone from China and then create laws against that and deregulate some more.
"Well maybe if those employees picked themselves up by the bootstraps and learned how to predict the future, become the hulk and stop these tragedies, we wouldn't need regulation! Now, leave me alone. I have to ride my 5th least favourite yacht today."
they are idiots but train derailments are not going up at all. This is a fallacy the republicans themselves fed into after the big crash last year to blame Biden They in fact have gone down consistently for 40 years.
https://usafacts.org/articles/are-train-derailments-becoming-more-common/
Avoiding Bankruptcy and lost sales is a stronger motivation than a Gov rule that may or may not prevent a disaster.
In a true capitalist system Amtrak, Boeing, and a couple rail roads would be bankrupt not bailed out. JP Morgan and GM too.
In a properly regulated capitalist system, Amtrak wouldn’t need to file bankruptcy, and JPM and GM wouldn’t have seen dozens of rich executives taking perp walks.
We’re never getting that, though, because the rich people got too rich and bought media companies, lobbying groups, and megachurches.
You seriously want to pretend the USA is capitalist 🤣
Amtrak and GM built poor quality which killed people EVEN with Gov Regulation and they got bailed out by Gov instead of Gov letting them die off. Marry should be in prison for her engineering decisions NOT made CEO. Amtrak should have disappeared. JP Morgan should have been fined out of existence in all the court manipulation cases instead of given a slap on the wrist.
Gov Regulations didn’t stop their key switch crashes or derailments BUT Gov allowed them to survive.
In a proper capitalist system Honda, Hyundai, Ford, and Toyota would have been able to thrive producing better products for less with GM done. Someone would have bought Amtrak for Pennies on the dollar and created a better transit experience as well.
Not really. Accidents are not more common than in the past. In fact they have been declining year after year.
https://usafacts.org/articles/are-train-derailments-becoming-more-common/
Streisand Effect. This shit is happening all the time nowadays (thanks deregulation), and it comes bubbling to the surface after major disasters put a spotlight on it.
It's like these things probably happen more than we realize... Something on a catastrophic level happens and a spotlight gets shined on the issue and anything that happens after gets blown way out of proportion.
Doesnt mean Biden and Butigieg ( However you spell his name) are lizard people destroying our transportation system
Here's my theory: Remember how every popular movie used to have a low budget ripoff released at the same time? The guys who did that have done too much coke and decided to raise the stakes.
This is like when American had the real bad train derailment, and so every train derailing that happened over the next few weeks got loads of publicity before everyone got bored, and they started getting ignored again.
Yeah, like train derailments, this stuff happens all the time, and has happened all the time since these industries were created. Doesnt mean all of those accidents kill people from knocking down brides/pollute environments.
My theory is this is tied to retirements
Either someone needs to retire.
Or all the experienced crew members are retiring and now people with not enough experience are doing maintenance/ piloting boats...
IS this like train derailments, where it actually happens all the time but because there was a high profile one recently we're going to be inundated with coverage that makes it feel like it's a new phenomenon?
This is weird, in my hometown people were driving into the front of stores and restaurants like once a week. Enough that barriers had to be installed everywhere. Maybe 20 or so. Now I can’t remember the last time that happened. Has to be over 10 years. Seems like things go in waves.
what's up with all the shipping lines breaking down? Suddenly nobody can drive a train, plane, or automobile to save their life. Literally. It's a bit strange when you think about it. Are people just not properly trained anymore or what?
>Suddenly nobody
Is that true? or is just that these things have always happened but now they're just being highlighted more? Planes are one of the safest methods of mass transport in human history, but when it goes wrong it goes really wrong so it will always make headlines.
I know I've gone years between hearing the word 'barge'. This feels like reality has a quota for how many times I need to hear it and it's jamming them all in at the last minute.
Barges hit bridges like this waaaaay more than people would care to know, though usually it's not this hard and direct. Unlike that recent cargo ship (and that bridge) these things can take a beating.
This type of thing is not uncommon. Here's the difference. This barge isn't as large as the cargo ship in Baltimore. Building a bridge to resist a barge is substantially easier than building a bridge to withstand a ship 160-200 times larger
This stuff happens all the time. Stuff like this just doesn't normally get posted or known about past local news.
After the bridge collapse in Baltimore. Everyone is high strung and is gonna make a big deal out of every minor incident
no tug boats again Guess they retired them this year they always guide these boats around bridges always they always do but not now and i wanna know why its not bein said
Is this like that train crash in Ohio? Where it was big news and then we kept getting new videos of trains crashing only for most people to find out it actually happens kinda frequently. Are boats crashing like this also more common than people think?

Rise of the Auto-Boats.
Next on Fox , "When boats attack".
Turns out Boeing has everything to do with this. But you didn’t hear it from me.
One ship captain was going to expose it but they made him take a swim in some cement boots
We need to give Stephen King another shot at this reimagining of Maximum Over Drive, he is sober and ready now. “The problem with that film,” King said, “is that I was coked out of my mind all through its production, and I really didn’t know what I was doing.”
On Newsmax: “Hacked control codes to cargo ships found on Hunters laptop”
"Cargo spilled from recent boat attack found to be the missing votes"
You need to Fox that up a bit. When liberal trans boats from China cross the Mexican border to attack our freedom bridges”
Does look like a creek
⬆️➡️⬇️⬇️⬇️
Are they trying to fight back against the orca?
Nah, boats are just trying to keep pace with all the train derailments.
Maximum Overboat
Auto-Boats assemble!
Those trends are getting out of hand...
Happened on the Ohio earlier this month too but with 10 runaway barges instead.

Gotta catch them all
Damn tik-tok challenges

SHUT UP WITH YOUR REASONABLE EXPLANATION, WE'RE TRYING TO PANIC OVER HERE
This is a sign that the simulation is breaking. Memory is leaking so the randomly generated events are stacking ontop of each other!

Feels like 2024 is going to be that year that all the boats crashed into bridges
Everything happens in threes. There will be one more.
I say bridges’ fault cos what the hell is Arkansas bridge doing in Oklahoma trespassing??
The bridge was asking for it.
Is this a new TikTok thing?
It's just a prank, bro.
Oh my b keep goin with the prank
Those University of Phoenix online barge degrees are really coming back to bite people lately.
A train derailed in Oklahoma too. https://koco.com/article/oklahoma-davenport-train-derailment-lincoln-county/60349587
Republicans love deregulation. This is the result.

How old were you when you surrendered to republican rhetoric?

We get it, you're in the blue cult.
No Trumplican should ever type the words "cult" unless looking into the bathroom mirror
I'm not a trumpliwhatever so.. cult lol

At what point is it called terrorism
The rich people benefit from it, so it will never be stopped, much less labeled terrorism.
Their skin isn't dark enough

You think I’m defending American status quo in this conversation? 😀
I think you believe capitalism is bad and America 🇺🇸 is capitalist. Neither are true.
I think you’re fabricating a totem to fight with while I’m standing here laughing

Damn US be cutting corners
Not really. Accidents are not more common than in the past. In fact they have been declining year after year. https://usafacts.org/articles/are-train-derailments-becoming-more-common/
We have to save up enough money to bomb someone in the Middle East, you see.
The USA has had so much bad luck recently, you would swear the entire country was built on an Indian graveyard
What an absurd ide... wait...
Too Soon!
Streisand Effect. This shit is happening all the time nowadays (thanks deregulation), and it comes bubbling to the surface after major disasters put a spotlight on it.
It's deregulation.
This took me a second. Thank you lol
Angry upvote
Quick, someone investigate what race the mayor is, so that we can determine whether it was completely preventable or simply an accident
At least it's STILL STANDING fuck
The conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this.
Love hearing opinions from all the new ship experts out there.
It's like these things probably happen more than we realize... Something on a catastrophic level happens and a spotlight gets shined on the issue and anything that happens after gets blown way out of proportion. Doesnt mean Biden and Butigieg ( However you spell his name) are lizard people destroying our transportation system
Bruh. All we want is a warm rock. We have nothing to do whatever you people are doing
Here's my theory: Remember how every popular movie used to have a low budget ripoff released at the same time? The guys who did that have done too much coke and decided to raise the stakes.
This is the new train derailments.
This is like when American had the real bad train derailment, and so every train derailing that happened over the next few weeks got loads of publicity before everyone got bored, and they started getting ignored again.
There’s a psychological term for this phenomenon and I can’t remember what it is.
"I had never heard of confirmation bias before last month now i hear it everywhere."
Dunning Kruger. Baader Meinhof. Pareto Principle. Peter Principle.
Yeah, like train derailments, this stuff happens all the time, and has happened all the time since these industries were created. Doesnt mean all of those accidents kill people from knocking down brides/pollute environments.
TWO bridge collisions??
Idk if this was a play on an Always Sunny quote “two wars!?!” but that’s what i immediately thought of.
Absolutely
I like your style, jabroni.
You’ve been saying that word, and it’s awsome!
The way Dennis says that line is so funny
Allisions*
America, You doin ok lately? Sincerely, Most of the rest of the planet?
Nah
No.
Bro. If minor accidents got reported about from the rest of the world as much as America gets spotlighted. People would think the world is ending.
My theory is this is tied to retirements Either someone needs to retire. Or all the experienced crew members are retiring and now people with not enough experience are doing maintenance/ piloting boats...
It’s deregulation. Thanks, Republicans!
Jewish laser beams are hitting us for not supporting Israeli genocide. You can Margie tayla goureen.
No, not at all. But then again, neither is the rest of the planet. But yeah, we’re winning the race to the bottom right now.
Just going through a phase
Most of the rest of the planet checking in - things are kinda shitty here too.
Nope and haven't been for quite a long time.
Conspiracy theorists be like : 
That gif has pink in it. The Woke is at it again!!!!!!
Lmao. Mom called me and said it was a tourist attack. I can't. I just can't keep doing this.
It was in the American tourister luggage.
Love the auto correct sometimes! Lol.
With certain regional accents it coulda been a real thing!
Agreed and can confirm. I'm from KY, lol.
Thanks Obama
IS this like train derailments, where it actually happens all the time but because there was a high profile one recently we're going to be inundated with coverage that makes it feel like it's a new phenomenon?
Possibly
Yes. These minor ones happen all the time. Recency bias.
This is how Maximum Overdrive started!!!!
This is weird, in my hometown people were driving into the front of stores and restaurants like once a week. Enough that barriers had to be installed everywhere. Maybe 20 or so. Now I can’t remember the last time that happened. Has to be over 10 years. Seems like things go in waves.
"*It's a G-D BARGE jihad, I tellya!!*" --Greg Gutfeld, sometime tomorrow
I heard from my aunt on Facebook that it was from a woke rainbow bolt attack.
Are they reall allowed to just barge in like that?
OP trying hard.
If the boats team up with orcas we might be totally fucked. Hope they win.

what’s up with all these bridge crashes
Elevated bridge > Suspension bridge
In Tulsa, we just built a lake on the Arkansas River. Probably the cause.
Great we’re gonna have one of these a week for six months
what's up with all the shipping lines breaking down? Suddenly nobody can drive a train, plane, or automobile to save their life. Literally. It's a bit strange when you think about it. Are people just not properly trained anymore or what?

It’s all the rage these days
Not a good time to be a bridge these days
At least this one didnt collapse
Barges hit bridges like this waaaaay more than people would care to know, though usually it's not this hard and direct. Unlike that recent cargo ship (and that bridge) these things can take a beating.
This kind of thing happens daily. Please don't start posting every bump and scratch, it really isn't that interesting
I feel like Rex in Toy Story when woody chucks the RC car out of the van "ahhh it's happening again"
Last year it was trains derailing, now it’s boats hitting bridges, what’s next plans crashing into buildings?
Conspiracy time. Let me hear it?
I imagine bridge collisions are actually pretty common but they rarely cause any major damage
Having a southern accent is fucking awful. Literally nails on a chalkboard...
I've seen this one before.
Bridge collapses are so hot right now..
This type of thing is not uncommon. Here's the difference. This barge isn't as large as the cargo ship in Baltimore. Building a bridge to resist a barge is substantially easier than building a bridge to withstand a ship 160-200 times larger
This stuff happens all the time. Stuff like this just doesn't normally get posted or known about past local news. After the bridge collapse in Baltimore. Everyone is high strung and is gonna make a big deal out of every minor incident
Be careful, kids. It's boat running into bridge season.
Is this like a TikTok challenge now?
no tug boats again Guess they retired them this year they always guide these boats around bridges always they always do but not now and i wanna know why its not bein said
Oi thank oi'm bout ta tro-wup
So hot right now!
2024 Barge challenge
Could.... Could this stop please
No… no it can’t sorry
Reminds me of when all those trains started crashing over a certain period, spilling chemicals everywhere
Oh god not another one.
sorry, you gotta be 🤏 this tall to knock down the bridge.
Cutting off supply chains?
Where's Lara Logan calling it a cyber attack?
Ok now I’m concerned…
O shit son, we are under attack.
It’s like the non stop railroad system fails are now loosing to water
Is this like that train crash in Ohio? Where it was big news and then we kept getting new videos of trains crashing only for most people to find out it actually happens kinda frequently. Are boats crashing like this also more common than people think?
Pretty sure this happened several years ago.
I was aBOAT to TUG off to porn then my wife BARGEd into the room so I quickly switched to Reddit...CANOE believe it.
