This bit of archaeology (is it still "archaeology" if the time period in question is "only" a century old?) is interesting.

If they don't do something looters will do the job for them.

It’s already shaping up to be that way, sadly enough.

That middle dude, Georg, looks eerily like my nephew who is 1/2 German and 1/8 German-Swiss.

I'm sure that shrimp will be welcome down in the bottom of the ocean!

Fantastic story - there are still good people in this world. You should have put up a warning about that video, though ...... my eyes are still leaking.

No leaking for me but I had a big shit-eatin' grin on my face through the whole read that wasn't going to budge. I wish the MSM would cover more stories like this and not just as the last 60 seconds or a tiny throwaway in print/display. These are the kinds of stories that inspire other people to good.

Hear! And it's nice to see that fraternity brothers can grow up to be kind men who don't forget people that helped them along the way.

This morning at about 0530 a truck transporting a crane managed to hit an overpass on probably the most heavily trafficked road in the area. I 87 (The Northway) is the gateway to Canada and the Adirondacks. Its also the only major high speed/volume north south road in our area. The bridge will be out between three and five weeks. No idea how many lanes will be open while this is going on. I call your attention to the last photo showing the extent of the damage to one beam. I'm no expert, but I can tell you to do the same amount of damage with C-4 would require about 10- 15 lbs of the stuff. The kinetic energy required to actually tear an I beam is beyond my knowledge. Here's the link. The photo showing the torn I beam is the last one in the series. wnyt.com/saratoga-county-ny-news/northway-crash-exits-9-and-8a-new-york-state-police-/6074698/?cat=10114&fbclid=IwAR12_bZ4Tw4OfQJJsF2UXJoDSUZGYgY1UKPRMh-xP_Rn3MaIGvehZCKkzEg
