Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses in Baltimore

[ChristianPatriot]

The bridge could theoretically be rebuilt/replaced in about a year.

“Could” theoretically yes.

It’ll take two to three years minimum.

Takeaways from the Baltimore Sun: https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/03/26/key-bridge-collapses-into-patapsco/

1. The harbor pilot was on board - A Coast Guard briefing report obtained by The Sun stated that “a harbor pilot and assistant were onboard and reported power issues, multiple alarms on the bridge, and loss of propulsion prior to the incident.”
2. Ship called Mayday, which got people on bridge to stop traffic - Before the collision, the ship’s crew notified authorities that the vessel had lost power. That “mayday” allowed Maryland Transportation Authority Police on the highway above to prevent many cars from driving onto the bridge just before the catastrophe.
3. Passage is blocked - But vessel traffic into and out of the port was suspended, state Transportation Secretary Paul J. Wiedefeld said, and a Coast Guard report stated that the “Patapsco River channel is fully blocked.”
4. Timing of power outage seems hinky if you don't believe in coincidences - “[If] that ship would have lost power a minute before or a minute after, it wouldn’t have hit the bridge. It just lost power at the exact wrong moment,” Mercogliano said.

However long it takes.. Lets build a big nice bridge back there.

As long as the engineering team isn't a bunch of women...

Let's be clear. The engineering team was only women until it collapsed...then women had nothing to do with the bridge.

Care to share your insight?

I’ve been through some of the worst parts where rows of houses were boarded up, trash was everywhere along with junkies sitting around. Most of the streets around there are garbage, and people will stand around all day and do nothing.even the areas outside of balmer such as Randallstown, and Owings Mill are total dumps as well. Which the probably has been seeping into Carroll County where I grew up via Eldersburg.

This is true. FIU promoted women in engineering by making sly associations with the bridge, like advertisements showing a woman with the bridge concept art next to her. When it collapsed that all disappeared. Probably a good thing for them overall, because now FIU would be charged with a hate crime for not using a transwoman.

Yeah, this was worth a block from me.

From the tweet: "Should have had a harbor pilot to pilot the boat. You are not supposed to traverse any obstacles without the harbor pilot."

Umm, they did. Two as a matter of fact.

And Biden says he’s basically going to shower them with cash to get it rebuilt. Wouldn’t the shipping company or owner of the ship be liable for the repair? I hit a power pole and broke it when I was in my 20s and I was charged 800 bucks for the replacement.

Listening to her on the warroom right now. She makes a compelling case.

Early this morning, the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD, collapsed after a cargo ship collided with a support column, causing the bridge to collapse.

Going to be a lot traffic going 695 west for awhile or crossing the smaller bridge downtown….

It depends on how much money the government wants to siphon from this project.

Well you would think. But some lawyer will probably argue that it was a 52 year old bridge well past its lifespan.

Do you think it's prudent to wait to clear the wreckage and start rebuilding the bridge until all of the legal hassling is done?

Just because government money is thrown at it doesn't mean you don't subrogate against those at fault.

It will help that no one in their right frigging mind will put a bureaucratic hurdle in front of such a project

Other than the 10% for the big guy?

False. Again: she makes multiple, easily-refuted claims. And GWP continues its slide into sensationalist obscurity.
