The city said the companies’ effort to limit responsibility for the vessel and the cargo’s value to $43.6 million is “substantially less than the amount that will be claimed for losses and damages” arising out of the Dali’s collision with the Key Bridge.
The owners of the Dali cargo ship were negligent and should be held fully liable for the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which killed six people, the city of Baltimore said in court filings Monday.
In response to the vessel owners’ petition filed in U.S. District Court this month seeking to limit their liability, Mayor Brandon Scott and the Baltimore City Council argued Grace Ocean Private Ltd. and Synergy Marine Pte Ltd. “put a clearly unseaworthy vessel into the water," and they called the companies’ actions “grossly and potentially criminally negligent.”
The city of Baltimore is demanding a jury trial, saying the companies’ effort to limit responsibility for the vessel and the cargo’s value at $43.6 million is “substantially less than the amount that will be claimed for losses and damages arising out of the Dali’s allision [collision] with the Key Bridge.”
You’ll be downvoted again, but it’s more that you’re an ass than your being wrong. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess you were being a dick last time too.
I’d rather be an asshole than a petulant child.
Not only are those two not mutually exclusive, but they’re often comorbid symptoms under the larger diagnosis of being a “douchebag” or “prick”.
On a related note, I have some bad news…
Both at the same time though, now that’s worth aspiring to
ill take petulant child actually between those two options. Im someone from the peanut gallery but man asshole is way worse than petulant child.
