Barges break loose in Pittsburgh, causing damage, closing bridges before some go over a dam

 This is the second major transportation disaster in two months and this one is similar in cause and effect to the other, and yet where is Pete Buttigieg (Pronounced Booty-judge) Joe Biden's Secretary of Transportation?  Shouldn't he be getting to the bottom of this disaster and investigate why it keeps happening? 

And where was he just last year when a train derailment dumped toxic chemicals in a river near the city of Palestine Ohio threatening the lives of the people there? 

That was a major ecological disaster and yet neither our so-called President or his equally useless Secretary of Transportation ever visited the disaster site or even had much of anything to say about it, and no new policies were either then or now being considered to ensure that similar rail or shipping disasters can nevr take place in the future. 

But this exactly what can be expected when you have people in positions of authority with no real capability or understanding of what t that position requires but are given the position solely because of what they superficially represent, such as being the first openly Gay secretary of transportation, and as long as they maintain that status, nothing more is expected or required of them.

Barges break loose in Pittsburgh, causing damage, closing bridges before some go over a dam

 Associated Press Apr 13, 2024 

PITTSBURGH (AP) — A large group of river barges broke loose and floated down the Ohio River in Pittsburgh, damaging a marina and causing bridge closures before the boats were pinned to the riverbank or went over a dam downstream, officials said.

Pittsburgh police, fire and emergency medical services responded around 11:25 p.m. Friday to reports of the barges “floating uncontrolled” down the river, Pittsburgh Public Safety said in a statement. The area had been hit by flooding after heavy rains Thursday.There were no reports of any injuries after the 26 barges broke free, including 23 loaded with dried cargo including coal. There were no hazardous materials on board the vessels, the city said.

Peggy’s Harbor, a marina on the river, sustained extensive damage. The city said 11 barges were held against the riverbank and secured by a tugboat near Brunot Island, while 14 continued further down the river and six went over the Emsworth Dam.

The West End Bridge was closed in both directions and rail traffic was closed on the Brunot Island bridge, which the city said were both temporary measures.

The McKees Rocks Bridge was closed “in an abundance of caution,” the McKees Rocks Police Department said in a social media post.The barges were owned or operated by Campbell Transportation Company, the city’s statement said.

The Coast Guard, Pennsylvania State Police and other agencies were alerted. (But not the Federal Department of Transportation since this is the second major transportation disaster in two months?)

Butt fudge was either nursing his new baby or cheating on the guy with the butt he loves.  One thing is for sure.  He has no idea of what to do about anything, he's just another mental deficient from Biden's administration composed of the dregs of humanity.

Pedo joe says booty-juice. Now there's a mental pic that'll stay with ya!

Once is an incident.

Two is a coincidence. 

Three times is an enemy action.

Though I don't think they'll do anything really big until after the election.

I don’t think Jo has a single competent Secretary in his cabinet.  They are all sock puppets appointed by the deep State Cabal actually running this country.
