  1. Glomar Explorer……haven’t heard that name in a while. . https://www.yahoo.com/news/baltimore-bridge-collapse-powerful-crane-174530934.html
  2. The EPA is setting unachievable emission reduction targets, this time targeting heavy trucks which are responsible for an enormous portion of freight movement in the U.S. The technology needed to electrify the trucking industry is nowhere near ready, and this rule is setting us on a collision course for supply chain disasters. By increasing the cost of shipping with this rule, the Biden administration is once again demonstrating their lack of concern for American families who have been hit hard by inflation and the onslaught of rules and regulations that are making it increasingly difficult to do business in the U.S. American Energy Alliance President Thomas Pyle . https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13252607/Now-Biden-announces-toughest-emission-rules-trucks-buses-R-V-s-latest-climate-crackdown.html
  3. The German Liebherr 995 crane and the company behind it. https://www.donjon.com/ches1000.htm But major crane operator McLean (Maryland-based) is in this too.

  5. Yellen walks back Biden’s comments that taxpayers will pay for Baltimore bridge collapse https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/janet-yellen-walks-back-biden-s-comments-us-taxpayers-on-hook-for-baltimore-bridge-collapse/ar-BB1kEj4t?ocid=mailsignout&pc=U591&cvid=f97793c0e7bb4786bbd1fcca1ecea735&ei=26

  9. Well exactly, that is why shipping companies purchase insurance from Lloyd's of London. JB saying the US taxpayer will pay for reconstruction is silly.
  10. I believe it was a cyberattack. They took over the ships controls, steering it towards that bridge column for maximum effect and then shut off power, causing a loss of steering (hydraulic rudder control) and propulsion. Thus it was weaponized, transformed into a floating projectile. If you look at the ship's path, it was on course and then suddenly turned to the right.......directly for that bridge column.......and then power shut off. Now the Port of Baltimore* is effectively shut down, and it will take months to clear. Someone sent a message. They're attacking our water supply at this very moment, according to the White House in a letter to the state governors dated March 18th: https://www.epa.gov/system/files/documents/2024-03/epa-apnsa-letter-to-governors_03182024.pdf And the mainstream media hasn't seen the need to mention America's drinking water is under threat? * The Port of Baltimore is the busiest U.S. port for imports of cars and light trucks, plus agricultural and construction machinery. 52.3 million tons of foreign cargo passed through the port in 2023, that valued at $80 billion.

  12. Yes sir, it is indeed a glider kit. The glider kits were assembled in Allentown by a third party (R.D. Knorr Industries) from parts we supplied. I never liked that arrangement. Rather, I wish they had been built in our assembly lines. It was done because one mindset was it would hamper the flow of complete trucks on the line.
  13. The president angrily addressed the nation on Thursday night telling Americans 'I know what the hell I am doing!' and insisting that 'my memory is fine.' However, moments later he committed another startling gaffe, referring to the Egyptian leader as the president of Mexico. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13063725/joe-biden-address-nation-news.html

  15. You can't make this stuff up.
  16. And, Yellen says prices don't need to come down. Hmm. .
  17. I have a lot of respect for Senator John Kennedy.
  18. Vlad, the CH has different front springs.
  19. Yes, the WS/WL did use R-model springs, e.g. 2QK3378 (10,500lb) and 2QK3378P2 (12,000lb). But the Super-Liner II (aka. RWI), well the RWI 600 was an Ultra-Liner chassis while the RWI700 was a heavier variant of that chassis. And the MH/RWI used a new family of springs.
  20. It's stamped right there on the front of the axle. Also, if I researched the front axle assembly number also in your picture (it appears to be 1QHA5745P2), it would tell me the axle model and show all the parts.
  21. It's a Mack model FAW537C 12,000lb steer axle.
