GP: SHOCK VIDEOS: Major Explosion Under Panama Canal’s Bridge of the Americas Kills at Least One – Investigation Under Way #PanamaCanal
If you think the Strait of Hormuz is the only choke point the US has their eye on, don't forget the #PanamaCanal. Suddenly 3 tanker trucks burst into flames magically under the Bridge of America, now?
It isn't closed... yet.

Trial by Fire: Fuel Tanker Explosions Imperil Critical Bridge Over Panama Canal #PanamaCanal
A fuel tanker explosion at the #PanamaCanal Pacific entrance injured four and briefly closed the Bridge of the Americas Monday, raising concerns at a critical #maritime chokepoint. #PanamaCanal operations remained unaffected as authorities investigated the #industrialaccident. #logistics…
Yet another #BottleNeck ...
( #PanamaCanal still in operation)

So far, I haven't seen any credible reporting claiming this was a deliberate action, but it's still worrisome. #PanamaCanal seems to be open for ship traffic, but one has to wonder whether risk / insurance will go up regardless of what caused the explosion...

@ponderingpolitics.bsky.social discusses legendary Fox "news" host #KarlRove, who sounds the alarm for #DonaldTrump over his #IranWar's effect on the #midtermelections. But Karl recently recommended widening the #PanamaCanal using NUKES. So, grain of salt...

A new level of MAGA insanity has been unlocked-- let's detonate a bunch of nukes to create a radioactive Panama Canal in the Middle East 🤡 Newt Gingrich @newtgingrich Instead of fighting over a 21-mile-wide bottleneck forever, we cut a new channel through friendly territory. A dozen thermonuclear detonations and you*ve got a waterway wider than the Panama Canal, deeper than the Suez, and safe from Iranian attacks. Keith Olbermann @KeithOlbermann Newt, I used to think you were evil but smart. Now I realize you're evil and incredibly stupid. Nuclear detonations To dig a channel. That will be operational in... 20 years? Really dude check yourself into a home Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan Nothing to see here, just top Trump ally and former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich calling on Trump to use nukes in the Middle East
A new level of MAGA insanity has been unlocked-- let's detonate a bunch of nukes to create a radioactive #PanamaCanal in the #MiddleEast 🤡
And Trump doesn't even have the nation's hospital ships ready! The #USNSMercy (T-AH-19) is or has just passed the #PanamaCanal and #USNSComfort (T-AH-20) is currently drydocked undergoing REPAIRS Ffs!!
Panama Canal could gain as Mideast conflict drives fuel costs higher 🇺🇸 #Panamacanal #TrumpIranwar #Mideastwar #straitofHormuz www.dailysabah.com/business/eco...
Trump’s policy goals re #PanamaCanal received a boost with the PanamanianSC cancelling a HongKong’s Panama Ports Company PPC canal contracts with its decision that they are unconstitutional

If @uaegov wants to change the world, they should commit to building a canal to bypass the #StraightOfHormuz. It could be 104 KM, only 24 KM longer than the #PanamaCanal, would cost $266 B and would be a massive economic boon for the region, and the #UAE #Government.
@governor.ca.gov Maybe next Presidential Election, after your POTUS, you can start building a #StraightOfHormuzCanal like was built in the #PanamaCanal granted that will take time but one day it would be built, take that option away from Iran!
