Baltimore and Maryland wishes it wasn’t real. It’s going to be a huge mess!

Above is the UK’s Times livestream over the area.
Joe Biden can rest easy. This was not a railway bridge. Amtrak is unaffected.
The harbor is likely going to blocked for a while.
I live northeast of Baltimore and rarely take the Key bridge. However, my employer has a plant a mile or two away. Many shipments come in to the plant via the bridge and through the port.
I presume we’ll be if Force Majeure soon on a few items.
The real problem is that there is noting but incompetence at every level. Local, State and Federal. Between Scott, Moore and Biden, none of them have the intelligence to work through this problem.
I’d have crane ships and demo guys already underway to clear the debris. I’d also have people calling every ferry company in America and globally to arrange leases of 2-3 large ferry vessels. Temporary wharves can be set up by the Army Corps of Engineers to move some traffic and take up the slack. Limited to vehicles with deliveries within 15 miles of the bridge or something like that.
Instead, Scott, Moore and Biden are probably wringing their hands trying to get someone to do an environmental impact statement.
