I’m stoked about the whole thing and if it was just me, I’d be 100% down for Frederick any day. But I gotta be old lame and responsible lol

What say @Matt ? Any day looking good?
A bunch of half ripped denim dogs descending on the folks for cocktails should make for interesting conversation on the flight home.
That is if youre on ze flight home. Just blue skying my friend. I know where they live. Is 11pm too early?

Y'all should go to the Mt Royal Tavern

[Matt]

I’m not sure an IH meet up will happen. Katie has us very tightly booked with friends and family. If anything pops up last minute I’ll be sure to post it though understanding that last minute is… well… last minute. ‍️

[steelworker]

I hear that .

[WhiskeySandwich]

well, i work close to BWI, if you're going thru there, holla holla if anything works out. otherwise, enjoy and be safe!

[Oaktavia]

My schedule is pretty crazy anyway and I don't always follow through with leaving my side of the mountain. Hope y'all have a nice holiday...I'll be in Bmore for the Dolphins game on NYE unless they change it to primetime.

Interesting, I live very close to Baltimore. I would be down for an informal meetup!

[Matt]

Plans are steadily changing. We’re supposed to spend Xmas night and two days after at my bro in laws in PA but now he has the Covid and Katie thinks she’s coming down with something. I’ll keep y’all posted if something breaks loose.

Oh hell that sucks!

Not sure this is the right place to post, but hoping that no one has been impacted (directly, or indirectly) by the Baltimore Key bridge collapse.

It is all I have been hearing bout on the local news. I work in Frederick, MD which is just a short trip down the road. Crazy stuff, tragic.

[WhiskeySandwich]

@Nocturama my workplace put iut an impact statement but I didn’t know the extent of it. Holy shit.

[Matt]

This is crazy.

[Oaktavia]

@Matt said in Baltimore, MD (USA):

This is crazy.

The craziest part is how exactly did that ship hit even the bridge? One would think there would be precautionary measures in place to prevent that kind of thing. Evidently not, or they were sleeping, drunk, loaded in someway.

[goosehd]

@Oaktavia They are saying the ship lost power. Probably couldn’t steer at that point…

[Oaktavia]

@goosehd Oh shit, did not hear that bit of info this morning on the radio. That must have been terrifying to slowly watch the ship hit the pillar, or wherever it impacted.

[pechelman]

wow they really didnt get very far from port. Can perhaps see in the track where they lost power and start to drift south.

Force = Mass x Velocity. That’s a lot of mass…

[pechelman]

technically f=ma, but the math still checks out with it being a huge mass moving and needing to transfer a very large amount of energy into the structure to stop its forward motion.
