We really cannot rebuild the key bridge. We are in a climate emergency, and we need to move away from people using their personal vehicles on a whim. In other words, the need for a new bridge will naturally lessen over the years.

And here you are Jed WASTING electricity spewing your nonsense. Jail obviously disagreed with you.

Feel Free to take all of your climate nutter buddies and MOVE To Kenya or other African Country where the primary transportation is a Public Bus System Called Matus

Even Lucky for you they are rolling out Electric Busses

5 days later and I bet the first piece of steel or concrete still has not been moved, other than by the tide. Government needs to get out of the way and let private industry take over.
I thank God that I can’t relate to how you think, you just come on here, spout nonsense about the state of the recovery, while you sit on your ass doing nothing.

Video of hard working MEN today dismantling the remains of the bridge, they have been working non stop to clear the waterway.

I'm okay with 5 days. As we see by the gas pipeline, there are boxes to be checked. And taking a few extra days to make sure they get those remains out of there is fine with me.

When reading these articles we have to keep in mind negative headlines generate clicks. Well, they make a lot about the salvage teams wanting to review the safety of the gas pipeline. The fact is it's already been shut down. It's already been evacuated. If that review is not done in the next couple days, I'd be shocked given the extra planning and logistics you need to perform. I don't think we're losing any time here. You can have all the cranes in the world but has anybody seen a barge show up to place this debris on.

Yes, you could shove it aside to shave a few days off the process, but then you're doubling the cost because you have to lift that debris off the floor at some point and lifting it twice is just stupid.

You know what's funny. I disagreed with his take also but I didn't feel the need to insult how hard he works. Maybe because I have some faint inkling of how hard that is and it's a lot harder than I do.

Here's a tip if you need to insult somebody to make your point your point probably wasn't that freaking great to begin with.

I don't know who this we are you're talking about but the rest of us are by God going to have a new bridge there. His discussion about moving away from private vehicles. I'm not sure what reality you live in. How you logistically think a place like Southern Maryland works without private vehicles. Think about the public transportation requirements just for taking children back and forth to school a relatively small amount of locations. Now scale that up to every working adult in the county, the thousands of places they go to work.

I'm sure you are speaking to someone who doesn't have a job so they are confused by that explanation.

Where are they taking it? Work on the north end but once it is okay to move the ship, concentrate on the main channel.

yup you are right and I am wrong. Let me get up off my ass now so I can take me beating from you.

Since they haven't taken anything yet, we don't know but my guess would be Sparrows Point A lot of it still seems to be an industrial dumping ground so that would be a great place to park it and sort it

Experiencing a dual unit blackout at a nuclear power plant is/was a similar event, especially with backup diesel failures. But we weren't in motion headed for a bridge.

How many are starting to believe there’s far more nefarious and underlying problems with the Baltimore harbor maritime incident? CISA says it lost propulsion as it left port…yet it still took an hour to get to the bridge and then it slams into a main pylon…where were the tugboats that work 24 hours…? Still too many questions linger…sorry, that’s just me and the way I think.
