BALTIMORE BRIDGE
Ryan Garcia tweet: Did the boxer predict that the Baltimore bridge was going to collapse?
In a series of bizarre tweets, the boxer seemed to claim he was a prophet from God after ‘predicting’ the tanker crash.
The Baltimore bridge disaster has had the internet awash with conspiracy theories. One of the most surprising may come from a boxing celebrity, Ryan Garcia.
In the days leading up to the tragedy, in which nearly a dozen people are confirmed to have been killed, Garcia seemingly tweeted that “Something bad is going to happen in Baltimore, Maryland on 26 March 2024.” Lo and behold, the Dali careered into the Francis Scott Key bridge, destroying it.
However, users in the community notes have said that the image was altered and that Garcia never made the claim. However, in reply to one user he said only God could “determine” if he was the chosen one. Whether he made the tweet or not, maybe Garcia thinks he did actually predict the crash.
