ER Editor: We confess to having a deja vu over the Baltimore Bridge collapse back in March of this year. A section of the Carola Bridge over the Elbe River in Dresden collapsed in the wee hours yesterday, 9/11/24. To our uninformed eyes, the bridge section is there one moment and literally gone the next. The practical result, aside from a lack of hot water to local residents, is that the River Elbe is non-functioning for an unspecified period of time.
Dresden is in Saxony, which just went to the polls, in the former East Germany, next to Czechia.
This is what Dresden is known for, a city-wide holocaust over two days in February 1945 in which the ‘Allies’ repeatedly fire-bombed and thus murdered many thousands of civilians. Prior to this date, Dresden had been known as a safe city and had taken in a lot of refugees from the region. Note that February 1945 was very close to the end of the war:

They don’t want us to examine the bombing of #Dresden for fear that we might ask questions about #Gaza

German bridge collapse caught on camera (VIDEOS)
Traffic has been redirected and boats stopped after a 100m section of the Carola Bridge in central Dresden fell into the Elbe River

A 100-meter section of a bridge in the German city of Dresden collapsed in the early hours of Wednesday, seriously congesting local traffic and severing water pipes, local authorities have reported.
No one was hurt in the incident, though a tram passed over the Carola Bridge just minutes before the collapse, according to Bild.
Local police reported that officers heard a loud noise at around 2:59am. By the time law enforcement arrived at the scene, the bridge section had fully collapsed, a spokesperson told the outlet.
Security footage shows the moment the collapse occurred, accompanied by a burst of what appears to be dust and steam. A section of the structure with a footpath, cycle lane, and two sets of tram tracks over 100 meters long fell into the River Elbe below.

“In addition, due to the bursting of two large district heating pipes, we have the problem that the supply of hot water has come to a complete standstill in the entire state capital of Dresden,” fire brigade spokesman Michael Klahre said in a statement later in the day, warning of the risk of further collapse.
Water up to 115C burst out of the piping and ran into the surrounding area, Bild reported.
Streetcar and automotive traffic is diverted, the municipal transport company DVB announced on X.
While the Carola is one of four bridges over the Elbe in downtown Dresden, the regional capital, river traffic has been halted for an undetermined amount of time, according to city officials.
In June, Deutsche Welle warned that as many as 5,000 highway bridges in the country are in urgent need of repair (ER: Is this really what is going on here?). The same month, several German construction associations warned that planned federal budget cuts could prove “fatal” to the country’s infrastructure.
