Remember a few years back when we suddenly started getting train derailments all over the country?
It seemed like a new one each week, sometimes even daily!
Are we starting to repeat that same trend right now except with Floating Barges and Cargo Ships?
Seems like it.
Here’s the latest — 26 barges break loose and float down Ohio River, causing damage and prompting bridge closures in Pittsburgh:
26 Barges break loose and are floating down the Ohio River, closing all the bridges in Pittsburg.

Grok confirms:
And from CNN:
A marina in Pittsburgh sustained extensive damage after 26 barges, most of which were loaded with dry cargo, broke loose late Friday night and floated uncontrolled down the Ohio River, according to authorities.
Two Pittsburgh-area bridges about 2.5 miles apart were closed after the barges broke free.
The McKees Rocks Bridge was shut down out of “an abundance of caution,” McKees Rocks police said shortly after midnight.
“They may or may not come into contact with sub-structure but we are not willing to take the risk,” police said of the barges.
The West End Bridge was also closed in both directions and rail traffic was shut down on the rail bridge to Brunot Island, according to Pittsburgh city officials.
No hazardous materials were on board the barges, according to the city. Of the 26 loose barges, 23 were loaded and carrying dry cargo, including coal, according to the news release.
Eleven of the barges were located and pinned against the river bank by Brunot Island, according to a news release from the City of Pittsburgh. They were being held by a tugboat.
Meanwhile, 14 continued down the river and six have gone over the Emsworth Dam, the city said.
While there have been no reports of people injured, Peggy’s Harbor – a family owned and operated full service marina located on the Ohio River – was damaged, the release said. It’s unclear exactly what the damage to the marina looks like.

Here’s what I wrote a few weeks ago:
Planes, Trains and Shipping Vessels — What Comes Next?
Plains, Trains and Automobiles was a hilarious movie. Maybe Top 20 comedy of all time, especially since Hollywood has been incapable of writing comedies for about 10+ years now and doesn’t appear able to recover anytime in the foreseeable future.
But Plains, Trains and Shipping Vessel derailments? Not so funny.
Two things happened yesterday that caused me to consider this topic and write this article.
First, someone mentioned to me how it seems like there has been a huge increase of tragic events under the Biden Regime (remember all the train derailments? Now planes falling apart every day. Now capped off by a Shipping Vessel taking out an entire key bridge).
But don’t worry, this guy is on the case and going to fix it all real soon:
Of course we covered all of those on a daily basis, but stepping back to view the forrest from the trees, it was stunning to really think about.
Then they asked me the question: what do you think happens next? Between now and the election. Do you think it gets better or worse?
Neither of us really needed to answer that question because we both knew.
The second thing was I ran across the meme posted above.
Sometimes a picture truly is worth 1,000 words.
I don’t recall much, if any, of this crap happening under Donald Trump’s watch.
Oh we had some mean Tweets, but the world was mostly at piece and under control.
Now?
Well, I thought it might be good to turn to the actual data and take a walk down memory lane.
This is by no means a comprehensive list, that would take far too long, but here is just some of what we’ve endured over the pat 4 years of the Biden Regime.
How much of this must happen before it becomes “not a coincidence”?
I don’t know, but see how far you can stick with me as we walk down memory lane….
Of course probably the most notable and tragic derailment was in Palestine, OH.
I’m sure you all remember this:

Wow, right?
And that was just a SMALL sample, I stopped before it got unreasonably long.
And that was just trains.
I probably don't need to remind you too much about all the airplane incidents recently....planes literally falling apart during takeoff, midflight and during landing.
Here are just a few:

Anyone excited about flying the friendly skies these days?
Me either.
Then of course we have the infamous incident from yesterday which was horrific:

And I saved perhaps the best (worst) for last.
Don't forget about all of these:
STUNNING: Map Shows All Food Processing Plants That Have Burned Down, Blown Up or Been Destroyed Under Biden
Folks, this is truly stunning.
They are trying to destroy our food supply!
As someone who sits in this chair and covers the news each day, I see this firsthand.
Heck, we covered this one just this morning:
I knew there have been a lot of food processing plants and other food supply buildings that have burned down, blown up or otherwise met a catastrophic, untimely end in the last 3 years, but I had no idea just how many until I saw it all together in one place.
I've been here to cover each of these, but it's really jarring when you see it all in one place.
