Container ships like freight trains need a long time to be
able to stop
The cargo coupled with the weight of the ship overcomes the
reversing strength of the props
The SS Dali crashed into the Francis Scott Key bridge
spanning the Patapsco River and the outer harbor of Baltimore
1.6 miles of spans into the water immediately collapsed and 6 workers on
the bridge quickly became the fatality score
But the adverse economic of the collapse and harbor closure
will really soar
Too early for time and cost estimates for construction to
the bridge restore
Unlike his avoidance of the train derailment at East
Palestine
Mayor Pete, looking disheveled, was on the scene quickly
this time
While as a crusader at DOT for DEI he loves to bask
Repairing this transportation disaster many believe he's not up to the task
Biden, upon rising in the morning, his response was that federal
dollars to rebuild would be there
Hard to believe the SS Dali was not at fault and most
of the costs the owners would have share
We need additional federal expenditures like a hole in the
head
As our growing national debt even in the slightest we cannot
shed
