Well the bullshit is flying for sure..all the "bad news that means higher prices"....

They talk about "Months" for the port being shut down.  I saw an interview with a guy from the port authority.  He said a 500 ton-yes 500- heavy lift crane will be on site Saturday.  The wreckage is localized.  The immediate need is to open the channel and they don't have to even remove everything-I would think just get it pulled aside into the shallows along side the bridge.  Smit Salvage is a huge company based in Holland also with equipment in Houston.  would not surprise me if they were underway yesterday.  It would not surprise me if the channel was opened in `10 days.

Then anyone see the genius from one of the "elite" schools?  Guy had a heavy euro accent but he said words to effect.."not a problem, we have other east coast ports and also big ports on west coast".  Guess what...any thing going through an east coast port is sourced through that port because that is what the distance  from the source for outbound or the distance for the destination of inbound goods makes Baltimore the most economical port.

Bottom line the biggest disruption will be the loss of the bridge to vehicular traffic..but the Port will be operating very soon..again my uneducated guess.

So Sleepy Joe, you can stop blaming bad economic news on this tragedy.

And KSC, you might be right on a an electronic hack but I would bet lousy fuel or bad fuel system maintenance will be the cause..can't imagine the filter system on a huge marine diesel is as simple as a Ph-8 Fram😎
