I was about half a mile from the I35 Bridge in Minneapolis when it collapsed. Within a week local officials were sorting through bids from contractors, and within just a few weeks up to 400 workers per shift were going 24/7 to build the replacement bridge. It ultimately was open about 3 months ahead of what was already a wildly accelerated construction timeline.
I suspect we’ll see some similar replacement schedule in Baltimore.
I hope they will opt for a more secure design.
When the Sunshine Skyway bridge was rebuilt there were barriers referred to as dolphins but around the legs of the bridge.
I don't know whether the Key bridge either had them around the legs or whether the dolphins would have prevented the disaster.

Minnesota had a Republican governor in 2007 and W was president. They got that bridge rebuilt in a year with clever contracting and incentives. In the 1994 Northridge, California earthquake, they rebuilt I-10 in three months under Pete Wilson.

Then wouldn't you think the GOP governor is responsible for not properly maintaining the bridge that COLLAPSED in MLPS? Talk about cherry picking. Low IQ genius over there
Tucker Carlson, 2022: “And whatever you do, don't go to Baltimore. Baltimore is a major American city. It's only about 40 miles from where Jen Psaki lives. It's one of the worst places in the western hemisphere. It's a little bit of Haiti in the mid-Atlantic. Baltimore is exactly what happens when you appliy Jen Psaki's ideas to governing. Baltimore is a city run by people who fervently believe in the equity agenda and consider gender studies a legitimate academic discipline. In Baltimore, pretty much everyone in charge is Black, yet it's a matter of religious faith that the main thing holding the city back is White racism.”
What city isn't blue? Do you think a redneck is going to be able to design anything?
Hard to say on structural engineers. Consulting engineers are more likely to be Republican, which is typically what is hired to do a structural appraisal.
As much as HR might wish it wasn’t so, politics are part of the workplace. From pleasant enough water cooler talk to heated discussions, nearly half of Americans talk politics at work. However, depending on your job, what tha...
There are a number of rednecks and ag engineers that are quite good at their jobs. The contractors building the bridge are far more likely to be Republican.

This. But I will argue somewhat that it isn't totally out of left field to wonder if this will have an inflationary impact. Especially with autos as the Port of Baltimore is one of the busiest RO/RO terminals in the USA, I believe. Not giving undue credence to whatever channels you guys are getting this from, but just as a general concern.
For Sally, I don't think you need to worry about DEI in this situation as Harbor Pilots are often chosen for their familiarity with the channels. In some situations, they are groomed for the role (in a positive way) from a young age. It is a coveted role that is not just doled out to anyone.
I was hoping we might get some insight from Michael Wardian. I think he is a shipping broker whose day is probably turned upside down by this tragedy.
Whether this or any other major issue at a port could cause a ripple in the economy, supply chain, etc., is a fair question.
Asked within hours of the accident, while they are hunting for bodies, and coming from election denier Maria Bartiromo... that's not someone asking a fair, journalistic question. That's jumping on a tragedy to help Trump.
Maria's not a journalist. She's a professional Nazi.
(She's also one of the stupidest f***ing people on TV.)
Why do you assume that a woman wouldn’t be qualified?
Because If there are policies in place that enable preferred treatment it sows doubt. I think thats quite obvious. Thats a reason many women who are competent oppose preferred treatment
I realize guys like you are vastly too stupid to comprehend this, but the way things were done for the last thousand years before those policies that make you idiots quake with rage 24/7 GUARANTEED 'preferential treatment' about a hundred times worse than what makes you so furious now.
Sit down in a quiet room for an hour, slow your brain way, way down, and maybe you'll finally begin to get it.

Do you think that a redneck or one of the students from the 40% of high schools that have zero students proficient in math would do better in redesigning the bridge?
