I was a grad student at the time. My university ended the semester early so we could get the national guard off campus, put out the fires on US 1, and get the tear gas out of the buildings. About twenty years later at the college where I was working, an applicant to our grad program was initially denied admission because the that university said they had no record that he graduated. They hadn’t produced final transcripts for that graduating class (the administrative building were blockaded and occupied) , but would do it when the student submitted a request.
The ship was almost a hundred thousand tons, so almost 200 million lbs. The length is about 2/3 the height of the Empire State Building. Imagine a skyscraper crashing into the bridge.
Thanks so much for pointing it out. I was just back from the a stay in hospital and didn’t see the comments yesterday. I’ve added Georgia to my Patreon support.
