Interesting, Non Political News

The article is worded pretty vague. it says he bought one drink, but he could have drinks bought by others. I would hope he wasn't that sloshed after one drink. Alternately, they might have been at a bar previous to that one.

Curious. What state you live in that they aren't heavily inspected/regulated?

I have never in Boston seen a food truck that wasn't pristine.

Now those roach coaches that serve construction sites? HTF do people eat off those?

OR. I have no idea the details of food truck laws here. I only know I've looked in several food trucks and always wished I hadnt.

Every state has plenty of regulations. The key part being which state/city still actually enforces them and which turn a blind eye. Look no further to New York which now has people bbq'ing on shopping carts on the street corner while little Mary's lemonade stand in the suburbs is getting shut down because she doesn't have a license.

Yeah, its about enforcement. The food trucks I'm referring to were in towns with populations of 1000 and 7000. Not a huge amount of local enforcement, and what are the chances some blue haired city dwelling health department goon ever makes it outside of Portland?

It bugs the shit out of me cause most people, even in a restaurant environment, dont wash their hands anywhere close to enough. If your handling food you should be washing your hands with hot & soapy water an uncountable number of times each shift. Don't even get me started on fucking home cooks.

When the sink's a little halfass portable thing, about knee high, attached to some 5 gallon water bottle, ain't nobody washing their hands. Fucking gross.

Holy crap

holy shit, a simple link doesn't do this one justice:

Only silver lining is this happened at a non-busy time - if this happened during rush hour/business hours, you'd be looking at hundreds dead

Holy fuck! In NYC I was thrown on how large those bridges were when I first went over them. How large was that bridge? That's straight terrifying.

The part that collapsed was over 1000 feet long

Those 40 foot shipping containers on the ship are half the width of the road deck ( perhaps a little more than ). Gives a good sense of scale.

That footage of the collapse is horrible to watch, you can see the headlights and pick out individual cars as everything just drops away below them.

It’s looking like an engine/electrical failure - apparently the crew was able to notify the transportation department in time so they could start to shutdown the bridge to traffic

Most of the fatalities are suspected to be road repair crews

WTF is it once you get rich/famous you turn into shit?

The crew tried to max power fix it after the first power outage, but the second screwed them and ensured impact.

They booked her on a slam dunk lesser charge, that doesn't mean she will go to trial with only that level of murder.
