Around 1:30 AM yesterday, a cargo ship crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland. It led to the structure collapsing, and six city workers are presumed dead. We've learned that no civilians were on the bridge when it failed. The city workers were repairing potholes and were on a break when the ship crashed into the bridge. Maryland Gov. Wes Moore declared a state of emergency. Joe Biden called on Congress to provide the funds required to repair the bridge.

Yet, during his remarks about the bridge collapse, Biden made another of his gaffes, saying that he has memories of traveling over the bridge by train and car commuting from Delaware. Well, the latter part is right—Biden could travel over the bridge by car, but rail is not possible, sir:
Biden claims he commuted over the Francis Scott Key bridge by train many times.

The bridge doesn’t have any rail lines and no trains run over the bridge. pic.twitter.com/up854zb6Ws
It’s almost a throwback to when the president proposed a railroad connecting the Indian and Pacific Oceans:
BIDEN: "...moving ourselves, having railway to go all the way across the southern two-thir—the, from the Atlantic Ocean to the, to the Indian Ocean in Africa!" pic.twitter.com/F94G0hyfxL
