    In the US, in California in particular, squatters can be a problem. A serious problem, they just move in and change the locks. The Police won't respond to a call about squatters, so you have to start legal actio,n which can take years, to get the squatters out. One lady had this problem so her son decided to help. Now he has started a business helping others in this situation.

    It's really weird that he had to do this but here is how it works:

    This is massive and tragic. The ship sent a mayday which enabled the authorities to close the bridge to traffic except for any vehicles already on the bridge and a maintenance crew.

    Afterthoughts:

    That mess is going to take some clearing. Baltimore is one of the biggest ports in the US. Every ship that's in there is stuck there, and no more ships can get in until the bridge wreckage is cleared. It being the US presumably they have big cranes on barges or whatever they'll need to clear it. It'll take some time to get the equipment there though. That bridge was part of the main road around Baltimore, very busy.

    The bridge staff did well. They closed the bridge within 90 seconds of receiving the emergency call apparently.

    The nut job conspiiracy theories are creative. One suggested the captain had been recently vaccinated and collapsed on the controls. Never mind the ship was under the control of the pilot at the time. It was a terrorist attack. It was illegal immigrants. It was caused by DEI (positive discrimination, hiring somebody female, black, or gay...) The most extraordinary one so far though, it was to distract us from the 'fact' that Katherine the Princess of Wales is currently being replaced by a body double.
