The impact sent pieces of the bridge, which connects Galveston to Pelican Island, tumbling on top of the barge and shut down a stretch of waterway so crews could clean up the spill. The accident knocked one man off the vessel and into the water, but he was quickly recovered and was not injured, said Galveston County Sheriff’s Office Maj. Ray Nolen.

Another barge hits another bridge? Seriously?
-
Worst camera work ever.
-
When people start to realize this is coordinated then the country will officially wake up
-
A helicopter can hover. Show the part of the bridge where the damage is, not 15 miles of the bride where the damage isn't. One job and failed at it miserably.
-
? How hard is it to miss a bridge; answer: no one will ever know
-
The United States of America should start running background checks, and seriously start vetting all employees in and that operate around critical infrastructure, like bridges, sailors, water plants, electricians, power plants/grids, dam operators, hospitals, game and wildlife, etc. The activity and damage happening to them is beyond suspicious as the incidents are on the rise, and thoroughly examine from diagnostics to the basement, walls, and roof of their facilities, an, or infrastructure.

Wonder who is handling the controls of these barges, thats two now
-
So how is it that we are seeing so many of these emergencies with bridges collapsing, food plants and farms burning, planes falling apart, trains derailing, and all of these other similar situations within the last 3.5 years? Does anyone else find that to be odd and suspicious? To be fair we have seen these kinds of accidents happen in the past, but never one after another consistently for a span of years. It really starts to make you wonder about why this is happening so often.

Don't tell Mayor Pete. He has more "important" things to do.
-
Oh look another "accident"
-
The barg driver and the camera guy must have graduated from the same place.
-
This is funny how after one bridge destroyed now another one…
No accident!!! -
But see if that bridge had just been armed...
-
This was planned...
-
The news: we are here at Galveston reporting on a collision resulting in an oil spill.
Me watching : 😵💫 Sheesh who was in charge of the filming! -
Just another barge hitting a bridge. Happens all the time.
-
This is the state of America
-
Oh boy not again!
-
This is on purpose just like the other one.
