Hong Kong's Tsing Ma Bridge reopens after two-hour shutdown sparks traffic chaos

[Mr.Cyan]

For Society's Child:

An incident in Hong Kong last night; where a barge collided with the Tsing Ma's bridge structure; which led to the highway/bridge being shutdown down for 2 hours during damage inspections. The things is, this bridge is the only main road & rail linking the city-state of 7 Million to their International airport - and this incident caused traffic chaos, and paralysed the airport & subway systems, where flight crews and passengers could not reach their scheduled flights. I guess this is an example, how in the coming times ahead; chaos could manifest quickly when sudden unexpected events happen in cities jam-packed with residents.

Earlier last night on the same day the ferry accident happened, a man crashed his Ferrari in Hong Kong Island, while swerving avoiding an "Animal" driving at night around 1am - what the animal was, they don't say, and the driver passed the breathalyzer test after the accident.....the BBM is definitely getting interesting....
