damn you can see the ship is horribly damaged and even has the full road-deck wrapped upon it.
Of course, how did the bridge fare? To shreds, you say?
I’m not too worried about the boat, Bobs.

Did you know that there's a giant, treacherous bar of sediment in the Bay?
The SF Bar Pilots are little known but they provide the crucial service of navigating ships safely through the Bay and helping prevent disasters like the one that recently took place in Baltimore. https://sfstandard.com/2024/04/28/san-francisco-bar-pilots/

#BaltimoreBridge The BBC is reporting that "they" are to "open" an alternative / interim route for ships. Um? A water route? Was it shut before? Can someone explain this more https://www.keybridgeresponse2024.com/post/update-4-multimedia-release-unified-command-prepares-for-opening-of-temporary-alternate-channel-aro
and
https://www.dvidshub.net/video/917547/unified-command-prepares-opening-temporary-alternate-channel-near-key-bridge
and why is it "temporary" and limited in use ? The terminology is so odd - like they had to dig one? The information seems to me to be extremely vague and strange. Is the port able to open? -

As #BaltimoreBridge cleanup begins, fear of #environmental #contamination looms
Responders have currently found ‘no immediate threat’, but 14 of at least 56 containers carrying #contaminants were destroyed
by Dharna Noor in Baltimore
Sat 30 Mar 2024"In the meantime, more containers could fall into the water, including ones the NTSB says contain corrosive chemicals and #Lithium-ion batteries – materials that could leak #toxic #HeavyMetals into the water. And as long as the ship remains in the water, the possibility of the ship’s fuel container rupturing remains."

Before the first hunk of badly bent steel had a chance to sink into the silt at the bottom of the Patapsco River estuary, the right-wing conspiracy ecosphere was busy flailing for mean-spirited, politically advantageous causes for the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

My family often drove through Maryland for various reasons but usually avoided Bal’mrr because of traffic. I don't think I've been on the #BaltimoreBridge
But here is footage from just a few years ago showing what it was like.

I saw somone post on the #baltimorebridge wondering how long it would take to be rebuilt. The author then went on to compare how the US built 50 Casablanca class escort carriers in less than 2 years in WW2 and how we went from basically nothing in space to moon landing in less than 7 years.
Now we can't get back to the moon until 2027(?) with a program that started in 2017 and who knows how long it's going to take to get this bridge rebuild.
And I ask why just like the author who posted these thoughts

The cargo ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was carrying dozens of hazardous material containers, some of which were breached during the collapse, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced Wednesday.

The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore (blocking one of the busiest harbors in the U.S.) is rattling supply chains that were already being rocked by troubles in Panama and the Red Sea.
We spoke with a supply chain expert to explain the expected impacts:

It's nice of Prez Biden to say the federal gov't will pay for a new #BaltimoreBridge but, uh, can't we take the ship company's insurance to the cleaners? 💸🚢🌉💸

Admittedly I know nothing about sailing a massive transport ship like Dali, but I wondered if the port of Baltimore had required that tugs stay with & guide ships through the bridge, would they have been able to guide the helpless ship & avoided the tragedy?

Maybe we're half way there already, but in the future every tiny bit of news will prob spawn a tidal wave of AI-bot-generated conspiracy theories, such that sane people generally ignore all news except a couple of trusted news outlets.
"House fire in east end": conspiracy flood
"Traffic slow on Main st": conspiracy flood
"10% sale on milk": conspiracy flood -

Could the Baltimore bridge disaster happen here in the Bay? "We have seen accidents in the Bay Area involving large ships in the past," as Baykeeper attorney Ben Eichenberg told the East Bay Times. "If a ship loses power, taking out a bridge isn't the only disaster that can happen. It can run aground. It can leak oil. This Maryland accident should get us to review all of our safety procedures. There is going to be some soul searching here." https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2024/03/26/baltimore-bridge-disaster-could-it-happen-here/ #sfbay #sanfranciscobay #baltimorebridge
