Heard some data estimates that 14 million vechiles
cross that bridge span each year !!!
It may be over a year before authorities can clear
the channel under the bridge.
Port of Baltimore is the import destination hub of nearly
100% of all foreign vechile imports.
This is a major economic blow to the United States economy.
w Equipment is en route already. I suspect channel will be open within 90 days.Maybe so, but probably not if it turns out to be a Union Job !!!  w

Can the bridge, tunnel it.
In the meantime all hands on deck, cranes on barges, cutting torches, inflatable bags to lift and get the channel open. I do not see why it will take years plural to clear that 450’ shipping channel.

When disasters hit, normal rules go out the window. Have heard of railroad tracks washing out in floods and the railroad was pushing boxcars full of rocks into the hole while the flood waters till raging. In NW MO during 2011 flood event, railroad had a tug push barges full of rip rap rock from river across farmer's fields.........pulling right into the hole while flood was still raging. As soon as flood waters stopped, they were replacing bed and track. That took days......not weeks or months.
They can come in a cut up the bridge with explosive charges and then drag the pieces off to the side with tugs and cranes. That is the Chesapeake. They have knowledge, equipment and resources the rest of us cannot even imagine. I'll be shocked if that takes more than a week or two to clear.

I just can't see it not being on purpose.
It was going past that piling, and all of a sudden , the black smoke from the stacks, and a hard right, right into the piling.
The more I look at the videos , the more it just doesn't look right.
We have met the enemy and the enemy is us!

That’s exactly what the RR did here during the last big flood. It was nuts! More and different types of equipment than Ive ever seen. Miles of trucks loaded with rock on the side of the highway. I thought it would take all summer and they were back up and running in about a week.
