they are saying it will take several years to repair/replace. Traffic will suck but... having lived and worked in and around Baltimore for 3/4 of my life i can say that it is far from bringing "East coast traffic to0 its knees" with the Harbor tunnel and various ways around the city without the need for either the bridge OR tunnel it will be fine. If you were traveling 95 through Baltimore then you were never taking the bridge anyway.

the people most affected are those that live east of the city in Dundalk, Edgemere and Sparrows Point.

I thought they were talking about the bridge replacement and the port only when they were talking about years.

I dunno...could be wrong.

Tragic. At least it happened in the middle of the night.

I was shaking my head at some of the STUPID questions that those college edumacated journalists were asking the city officials at the press conference. Like: "How much will it cost to replace the bridge?"

My mind goes there too (Military Intellignece programming is tough to quit!) as well, but it's looking like this wasn't terrorist related OR they're doing a great job burying that angle.

I can't believe they are showing the complete video on T.V.???

Usually , when people actually die...which they did...it is censored...

This shows everything, cars dropping, semi trailer trucks falling ,
but no audio at all...
I can only imagine how those poor ROAD WORKERS FIXING THE BRIDGE OVERNIGHT FELT...IT had to be a rough ending...I would been swearing the entire way down...

Prayers sent to the victims ...

Demented Joe misremembered something again.

Biden claims he took the train over collapsed Key Bridge, but it had no rail line

The White House later clarified Biden's remarks, claiming he only meant to reference prior drives by car over the bridge.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday claimed that he previously crossed over the now-collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge near Baltimore by train while commuting from Delaware, but the bridge did not have a rail line.

A container ship struck a main column of the bridge around 1:30 a.m., resulting the bridge's swift collapse. While discussing the incident in a press conference, Biden said he'd "been over many many times commuting from the state of Delaware either by train or by car."

Ship clearly lost power twice before London Bridge came rolling down, rolling down….

I seriously doubt that’s haji work, they like beheadings, bombs and animal husbandry.

I think it’s rather convenient timing for Sean Combs. And that’s got me rethinking the Bad Boys 2 song “Shake ya Tail feather” and Will Smith in that movie….and Martin Lawrence getting shot in his butt by Will Smith…and the scene in the TV store.

I agree with the above. Diddy is indeed benefitting from the tragedy- right now. But, it's too big of a story to not capitalize on.

Another update Q&A on the Dali accident.

They discuss how it may have been bad fuel that disabled the engine. Apparently the bunker oil used to run ocean going ships can be contaminated with plastic material. Clean air restrictions dictate low sulfur fuel, ironically the sulfur would tend to dissolve the plastics, hence engine troubles caused by "cleaner" fuel.

I drove by a gas station today and a “Blue Solar” van was gassing up at a gas station.

I don’t know why but that stuff just cracks me up.

Day after bridge collapse, Republicans are blaming Democrats, floating unfounded and sometimes racist theories

WSJ[

Following Tuesday’s deadly collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, some Republican officials, candidates and right-wing pundits attempted to connect the tragedy to some of their most frequent political targets: diversity initiatives, illegal immigration, coronavirus lockdowns and the Biden administration. And early reaction to the incident also provided fresh ground for unfounded theories that the collapse was not an accident at all.

The collapse along a key East Coast corridor early Tuesday sent at least eight people into the Patapsco River. The remains of two people have been recovered, and four others have been presumed dead. They were immigrant construction workers making bridge repairs at the time of the collapse.

Since the incident, several sitting Republican officials have sought to tie the Biden administration to the collapse of the nearly 50-year-old bridge.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) told Newsmax on Tuesday that the government is focusing on spending federal funds on “waste,” “when it could be going to things that are the government’s purpose, just like this.”

“We’re not spending it on roads and bridges. Look at the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill that was done a couple of years ago that the left hails as this massive success. But it was mostly Green New Deal, actually, in that bill,” Mace said, referencing the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure bill signed into law by President Biden.

Republicans previously criticized Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg as not visiting East Palestine, Ohio, quickly enough after a toxic train derailment there last year. But after the secretary visited Baltimore on the day of the bridge collapse, Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.) suggested without evidence that the visit was politically motivated and that Buttigieg was preoccupied with diversity policies.

“Well, this is an election year, so he probably, if it was two years ago might have been a month before he went at all,” Van Drew told Fox Business Network’s Maria Bartiromo on Wednesday. “He’s worried too much about pronouns, worried too much about DEI policies, worried too much about being the cool kid on the block. … I’m disappointed in the job that he does.”

Along with Van Drew, conservative political candidates and right-wing media personalities have turned to blaming diversity, equity and inclusion policies — a loosely defined term broadly used to refer to efforts to diversify the workforce and academia — for the collapse. It’s the latest in a series of issues that the right has blamed on DEI.

Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman (R) blamed DEI policies for the bridge collapse. The Utah gubernatorial candidate running against Gov. Spencer Cox (R) shared a post online attacking Port of Baltimore Commissioner Karenthia Barber, a Black woman whose biography says she owns a consulting practice that takes on work related to DEI. Responding to the post about Barber’s background, Lyman wrote on X on Tuesday morning that “this is what happens when you have Governors who prioritize diversity over the wellbeing and security of citizens.” In a subsequent post referencing the collision, he said: “DEI = DIE.”

Lyman told the Salt Lake Tribune later Tuesday that he had not authorized the comments before they were posted by his team, saying the post about Barber “was not our best moment” and that it “was a knee-jerk reaction to some of the things others were putting out there.”

Anthony Sabatini, a Florida congressional candidate, also blamed DEI for the bridge collapse in a post on X the morning of the collapse.

And, here I thought tragic accidents simply happen unrelated to politics...

It doesn't matter what they say or do...NOTHING is going to prevent an accident like that. It happened. No amount of maintenance or care would save it.

True, like many other highly engineered bridges, the failure of one part, will cause the entire structure to collapse. What they could have done was build an artificial island around the bridge supports, that might have saved the bridge, but a few thousand tons of moving shipping has many thousand tons of energy.

I blame Transportation Secretary Pete Butthead, while he was crusading against racist roads and wasting zillions of dollars doing so, he ignored critical infrastructure like the Key Bridge.
