Like...by himself or did he have a helper? Because either way I can't get a bathroom remodel done in 3 days.

I think there were some illegals there for sure!

In my bathroom? I mean...maybe noise ordinance violations.

Wish I could see a destructed picture of the same shot as the reconstruction don’t get me wrong I love desantis BUT media can be misleading both ways. The pic above would lead you to believe the entire bridge was washed away….. when I am betting only taking 3 days they repaired something instead of reconstructed.

Motivated people can get a lot done in a short time. I remember reading about how the badly damaged Yorktown came into Pearl for repairs and 72 hours later was off to participate in the battle of Midway.

Pic 1 is the damaged bridge. There is only one bridge to Pine Island so same bridge in all pics.

It's a temporary bridge. I don't know if they used prefab pieces or how, but it's apparently legit.

However, as one would expect, the permanent bridge will take much longer to build.

Surely Florida like every other state has spare bridges just for this kinda thing.

There is no way a complete new bridge was constructed in place of the old one. Getting material for such a thing would be a least a couple weeks if it was expedited by governor's orders.

I'd believe it if it was a pontoon bridge!

The bridge looks to be all precast concrete. It is very possible that some sections were already made for other bridges to be built at a later date. No matter, if it was repaired in 3 days it's a damn good job.
I'm sure the liberal fact checkers will blow holes in the story if possible.

Joe and Kamala helped!

I’m wondering if they were simply set back onto the supports.

Must have been non union!

Just waiting for the concrete to cure properly would take days, wouldn’t it?

…and the OSHA and environmentalists were locked in their offices.

Yes.
But that's also because They fixed Yorktown 'just enough'.
And they used 1,400 workmen.

 

[indykid]

Fake - they repaired all the buildings too??

In case anyone's bored...

Battle of Midway: Repairing the Yorktown After the Battle of the Coral Sea | Defense Media Network

A history of the emergency repairs conducted on the USS Yorktown after the Battle of Cora Sea in order for the ship to participate in the Battle of Midway.

The next morning, after Nimitz had cut orders voiding the safety rule of spending a day purging her tanks of stored aviation fuel,

To satisfy the enormous power needs of the repair crews the Navy contacted Leslie Hicks, president of the Hawaiian Electric Company, who arranged a series of rolling blackouts in Honolulu. Only the most urgent repairs were made. Instead of individually fixing the hull’s ruptured seams, an enormous steel plate was welded over the damaged section.

On the morning of May 30, more patched than repaired but fit enough to fight, Yorktown steamed out of Pearl Harbor




Sometimes.. good enough is.. good enough
