The boat was also on fire so presumably they wanted to put that out.

GolfHole posted:everybody trying to figure out how to prevent a 95000 ton ship from destroying anything it hits are cute Maybe they should build the bridge out of 95000 ton ships so that anything that runs into it gets destroyed instead.

It's Baltimore. Just leave the ship parked and everything of value will be gone by morning.

Don't be foolish, nobody would be desperate enough to get goods delivered to waiting Americans to risk braving the frontier challenge of driving an extra 10 miles. They've cut us off. CUT US OFF!

It won't take 10 years. It'll be rebuilt in 18 to 36 months.

Time_pants posted:It's a huge project. There's a lot of corruption they've got to get through. A project like this one, which will have lots of eyes on it all the way up to the feds, isn't likely to get mired in corruption. It's the less-closely-watched state and local public works projects that usually get milked.

And, worth noting, the WTC rebuild project wasn't noted as having any level of corruption. Just the political and legal arguing delaying any final decisions being made. Once things were locked in, it went up pretty quickly and smoothly. Those political and legal roadblocks won't exist for the Key Bridge replacement, because it's purely public works, nobody really gives a poo poo what a bridge looks like, and there's no need to fit a memorial that nothing can ever be built on again ever in the middle of the site. The I-35 Mississippi River bridge collapse killed more than twice as many people as the Key Bridge collapse, and its replacement was completed faster than anticipated -- in 13 months (but it was also not a megaproject like the Key Bridge replacement will be, so the number of months here isn't as important as the fact it was done on a greatly accelerated schedule, successfully). When major interstate bridges come down, replacements get put up pretty quick without a lot of faffing about or corruption. biznatchio fucked around with this message at 16:43 on Mar 31, 2024 |
