    I’m your retired military, and I’m telling you to open the channel because this is the exact sort of thing you have to do during a war. You need the practice and this is important for the economy. Get it done and thank you to everyone that’s already working on it.

      ​@@TA-wg9oiBack 47 years ago, it was deemed sufficient to the people who designed and the people who approved it. Cargo ships of this size going thru the harbor, were unheard of in 1972, when the bridge was started and still hadnt gotten much bigger when it opened in 1977. It's the state of Maryland's fault for not appropriating money for barrier improvements. That being said, it would still take a helluva barrier to hold back a 948 ft cargo ship loaded with 4700 TEU's, and weighing 95K tons (empty). And the DALI is considered mid-size. But hey, let's send all our money to Ukraine, the Gaza strip, Iraq and so on, while shutting down our energy companies. Doom and gloom is in charge. Just think, in the USA, we could have the best of everything, but no, somebody's gotta f it up.

      @@janetphillips2875 That's not true. A steel arch continuous truss bridge has little support from collapse so being 'deemed sufficient' would come down to cost! Most ports around the world have tug escorts especially being so close to a bridge of this type.
      But hey, lets put US military bases in Ukraine on the border with Russia when it becomes a NATO member.........Obviously Russia didn't like that idea.....
      If you are going to start unrest, be prepared to pay for it!
      All rich developed countries pay some form of aide to those countries in need. the USA pays more because of it's political attitude.
      Most other rich countries already have the best of everything but most Americans couldn't understand that!

      The port exports a lot of stuff. If we refuse imports, our exports will be refused. Domino sugar imports raw sugar and refines it in Baltimore. Should everyone be fired since you don't want any imports?

    If they are not using shoreline powers then you'll see them trying to lift beyond capacity.
    Not using the support of the wreckage to winch from and tie back to with the smaller and most dangerous submerged parts then lifting a corner of the most critical point with the cranes then tow it with shoreline resources, hopefully to be used in some ways in the reconstruction and final defenses to protect the new structures so they don't have to move the selected parts but a few hundred yards.
    Right now they need docking space and working platforms capable of some rough water, the stuff to make what they immediately need is right there, use it to it's best possible. It's been paid for once already.
    Be safe.

    Many of the same people who said it would take months and months to open the channel are now reversing their opinions, but only after those tasked with the responsibility and present on the scene have had an opportunity to survey what can actually be done, and have provided the Maryland Governor and the mainstream media with a plan and realistic time lines.
    It would be nice if we listened to those responsible with this daunting task as opposed to being bombarded by outside opinions that range from impossible, to dredge a new 50ft channel, to it will takes months and months to complete.
    It boils down to those that know, and those that know not.
    My vote is for those on site that are in the know, as real experts don’t guess.

    As an ex marylander, this move doesn't surprise me one bit. First off, this isn't anywhere to be a poor state. I should know that by having paid hefty taxes, see my opening line if you're not following me so far.
    Bmore isn't a poor city despite the image and the dynamics it reflects. Just that bridge alone generates millions on tolls every year. And I've crossed it as recently as the week before the incident. And let me tell ya, it wasn't structurally safe and in dire need of repair 20 years ago.
    But the greedy commie Republic of md can't miss out on that cheddar. Even if it supercedes safety. There are a few of us, the brighter ones who've jumped the Potomac river for an economic change for the better in our lives. And those of you sheeples who enjoy denying yourselves the ability to maintain repairs to your vehicles, house and livelihood. Well, stay in md, you deserve it.
