Early Tuesday morning, a section of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed into the Patapsco River after the Dali, a 213-million-pound cargo vessel, lost power and crashed into a structural pillar. As a team from the National Transportation Safety Board is gathering evidence for their investigation and crews search for six members of a construction crew that were repairing potholes on the bridge at the time of the incident — who are now presumed dead — right-wingers are slinging conspiracy theories relating to the collapse and what "really" led to it.
A recent report from Mother Jones runs down the wildest of the finger-pointing, with Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo listed at the top, suggesting a “wide open” immigration policy at the border could be a factor. A theory she arrives at due to the fact that the cargo ship had been flying under a Singaporean flag. Also making an appearance on the list is Alex Jones, co-signing a theory from Andrew Tate that the ship was "cyberattacked," to which Jones adds, "WW3 has already started.."
