The creator of 'The Wire,' David Simon, spoke out against the conspiracy theories surrounding the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge. The collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge is being speculated to be a terrorist attack. David Simon, a former reporter for The Baltimore Sun and the author of “Homicide: Life on the Street,” specifically targeted politician Marjorie Taylor Greene for fueling rumors about the tragic event.
He responded to Greene's words by calling her 'a complete submoronic pratfall of a human being.'
Greene tweeted a video investigating the collapse, questioning whether it was an intentional attack or an accident, to which Simon replied with his criticism.
Greene also tweeted about the need for a serious investigation into the bridge tragedy, suggesting it might have been an intentional attack.
Simon also responded to a tweet from Anthony Sabatini, accusing him of being an empty, racist demagogue.
He also had a harsh response to another tweet, criticizing the person's racist and empty rhetoric.
On Tuesday morning, a large cargo ship lost power and crashed into one of the bridge’s support columns, causing the collapse. The crew was able to issue a “mayday” before the collapse, minimizing the potential death toll.
Despite this, several cars were knocked into the Patapsco River, and authorities were searching for six construction workers who were repairing potholes on the bridge. According to The Baltimore Sun, two workers were rescued, one of whom was briefly hospitalized.The collapse has significant implications for the port city and its industries, as noted by Simon in a tweet.
Simon initially expressed concern for the people on the bridge and the impact on the port city's industries. He also mentioned the auto-ship imports, Domino Sugar, coal exports, dockwork, and the potential loss of container traffic to Norfolk. The TV producer also echoed the question raised by the politician regarding the bridge collapse.
