"Just tow it down river and install the masts elsewhere."

When I first read about the plan to dismantle the bridge so his yacht, and masts could past through a while back, I asked at the time if they couldn't put the masts on after it passed through the bridge. I'm glad somebody else thought of it too. There should be no reason to dismantle that bridge, especially since it was the first bridge of its kind built in 1927, was destroyed in WWII, and rebuilt. Bezos thinks he's the king of the world. I'm glad the company has withdrawn its request for a permit. Let Bezos hire a transport plan to lift the damn thing from its moorings, and fly it where he wants to store it, or let him find another route to move it.

#13 the ship is made of carbon fiber!!
He has a second support yacht that is 246ft long!!
It will follow along the 417ft main yacht.
Jeff Bezos will put out media stories about being carbon neutral...
