I saw another clip that said they declared a Mayday with just 90 seconds before impact so quick action on PD in stopping traffic when they did was huge-no cars went in water just the poor souls working. Had this been a DOT crew they probably would have had radio contact but contractor crew-doubtful. thanks for that...too bad about the hired hands...bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Horse Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 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😎 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

67RModel Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 CNN not the greatest source IMO but this article isn't really political and is pretty insightful as to how maritime insurance works. Pretty interesting.

tjc transport Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 interesting how they claim "the largest crane barge on the east coast" is on the job. the Left Coast Lifter is almost twice as large. with a 1929 tons lifting capacity compared to the 1000 ton chesapeake 1000 they are calling the largest on the east coast.
