I didn’t realize Baltimore was so important for the car market of the Midwest and East Coast. Apparently 800,000+ cars are delivered per year through the Port of Baltimore, but with the bridge collapse today it sounds like shipments could cause some car market issues for a swath of the country.
Lol, a few days? The ship is trapped under the truss, they’re going to have to do a full engineering review and come up with a plan. It probably has hull damage from crashing into the bridge posts. Imagine the outcry if that ship sunk and dumps its fuel everywhere.
It’s going to be weeks.
Well… we don’t have to worry about the ship sinking actually.
We have a big problem about the ship getting grounded and permanently stuck in the mud though… the Bay is famously shallow. One of the shallowest ports in existence. There’s only 50-feet of water here, just barely enough to clear these container ships.
You know… barely enough room before these container ships have a damn bridge on top of them pushing them down and into the mud.
Pull it off?
Okay?
If it was going to sink it would have done so already.
