Can America even manufacture the steel required to rebuild the bridge?

So. Who did it? And who gains? This was no accident.

Fortunately, we have the Port of Charleston, SC and the Port of Savannah, GA. These are two excellent, modern seaports that can take up the slack for a number of years.

It’s terrible for Baltimore and for Maryland as a whole, but the United States’ East Coast can bounce back in a matter of weeks. Trade will continue to flow.

As far as cocoa goes, if you have an Amish or Mennonite grocery store in your area, check their bulk section for cocoa. It's always been less expensive than grocery stores for me

My snide comment is wondering what the name of the new bridge will be. I don't think they'll use Key's name. My early betting money is on Elijah Cummings, the late and very much not great congress critter.

I lived outside Baltimore for 29 years. I drove over this bridge a handful of times but this will have a devastating impact on people who live in the southern portion of Baltimore, both city and county. Prayers for those killed and peace, comfort and eventually acceptance for their survivors.

O say does that star spangled banner yet wave, o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? Who else has noticed that the national anthem ends with a question? That's because it's up to us....not them.

After the Biden gang took down the Nordstream pipeline from Russia to Europe I have no doubt that Putin got his crack hack team to work and picked a nice juicy target to hit at the right time.

The blind leaders in Washington are playing checkers while the ♟️ Chess Masters take a critical piece of our side of the board. Sleep on wicked, godless nation.

Karma is a bitch. I've been telling people for years that 'Murika is going down. And so it is. Its collapse will be as total as the collapse of the bridge in Baltimore last night.

There is going to be a whole series of natural and unnatural disasters, like this one in Baltimore, bad as it is, and far worse. The sum of them all will bring the country to its knees, never to rise again.

The Pentagon and CIA have been repeatedly trying to destroy the Kerch Bridge in Russia in recent years, through their Ukrainian military proxy. Last night, a comparable bridge in the CONUS/U$$A, Inc. got wiped out.

I feel this may be some sort of a test or precursor to something bigger.. no accident, on purpose.... Like the sound and feeling of the Orchestra instrument's being tuned just before the Great Overture begins in the highly anticipated Concert.

@WarClandestine now believes this is nothing more than an unfortunate accident. If you've followed him since the Ukraine situation began, you'll tend to believe him over all the conspiracy theories being propagated, Michael's included.

From @WarClandestine on X: This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t see anything that would indicate the tragedy in Baltimore was some sort of terror attack.

Strategically, what would it accomplish?

If they wanted to terrorize the US, they would have picked a different bridge, at a busier time.

The bridge going down also does not inhibit US Military capabilities or threaten our production in any significant way. It will be a substantial inconvenience for the port of Baltimore, but it doesn’t really move the needle from a global transportation or economic perspective.

I believe you have misread Lara's posting on X. She mis-identified this bridge as being I-95, when in fact is is I-695. I-95 is open. Therefore, your statement about hazardous materials transport is inaccurate.

This is from the MDTA website: Harbor Crossings alternate routes will be I-95 or I-895 tunnels. Vehicles transporting hazardous materials prohibited in tunnels should use the western section of I-695 around tunnels. This includes vehicles carrying bottled propane gas in excess of 10 pounds per container (maximum of 10 containers), bulk gasoline, explosives, significant amounts of radioactive materials.

Vehicles in excess of 13’-6”, in height, or 96” (8 feet) in width are prohibited from using the Baltimore Harbor Tunnel. I-95 Ft. McHenry Tunnel restrictions are height – 14’ - 6” width – 11’ - 0”.

Does this mean less junk from China?
