Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
So this is the actual news reporting on the so-called civil rights complaint about the train tunnel: https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/baltimore-residents-file-civil-rights-complaint-against-amtraks-frederick-douglass-tunnel-program/ Anyone can file a compliant and the applicable agency is com...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
A cash shakedown for a bored tunnel seems a bit ridiculous. I mean, technically I do own the mineral rights beneath me... but if they build a railroad tunnel underneath my property, I have a difficult time seeing how I'm being harmed. As far as exhaust goes, it can't be much different than the exha...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
It is a driven tunnel,using a boring machine. It is the ventilation structures as well the “we were not consulted “ line, in spite of meetings that have gone on for a five year period. I heard Al Sharpton is involved, so it is almost certainly a shakedown for cash. And then we see the real reasons ...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
Out of curiosity, do you have a link for that? All I've been able to find are articles about the lawsuit that the city of Baltimore is filing against the owners of the Dali. CORRECTION: There are groups pushing to not name the replacement bridge after Francis Scott Key, but I'm not seeing anything ...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
Is there a reason that a train tunnel that goes UNDER people's communities is a problem? I would think it kind of depends on how it is constructed. If it is a shallow "cut and cover" type of tunnel then we are talking about perhaps half a decade of severe disruption of a community and lot...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
Is there a reason that a train tunnel that goes UNDER people's communities is a problem? It is two of the ventilation and escape shafts they claim will expose the neighbors to harmful fumes, from the diesel locomotives. However, the tunnel will be able to accommodate electric trains only, and no fr...

Re: Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse
Thee is a lawsuit brewing that has the possabilaiy of holding the whole thing up until they resolve the "name" issue. Let's hope they throw that one out before it delays things. Out of curiosity, do you have a link for that? All I've been able to find are articles about the lawsuit that t...

Re: Is it wrong to use nuclear bombs against civilians?
Russian historians like to mark the start of their WW2 with the German invasion in June 1941. But in truth it started in September 1939 when they cooperatively invaded and partitioned Poland together with Germany. Why pick that as the start of the WW2 rather than also include the actions of the sur...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
Folks, "Left Wing" murders are not pardoned, they are simply not prosecuted to begin with, or witnesses are too intimidated to come forward. PLEASE try to tell me the largest gang in my fair city is not a left wing political entity. Just look up "Black Guerrilla Family." Than try...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
They pay for necessities with money they receive through government assistance. Sounds like this area is being run exactly as the government intends, actually. It is also more of a rural problem than urban problem. Disability rates are higher in rural areas than urban areas: https://www.census.gov/...
