The bridge will have to be renamed, per the park service:
“Despite any objections Key had to the institution of slavery, he chose to take part in its proliferation. Key most likely purchased his first enslaved person in 1800 or 1801, and by 1820 he owned six enslaved people.”
There should be insurance through Lloyd’s or some other insurance agency. That’s what should be paying to costs.
In an amazing coincidence, Humper Biden is CEO of a construction company.
This creep can’t spend our money fast enough!
Really? There’s no INSURANCE for situations like this? How about charging the vessel that CAUSED THIS DISASTER in the FIRST PLACE? GTF OUT of MY pocket, Brandon, ya pandering d-bag!
Yeesh!
I’ll wager the bridge was part of the Federal Highway system and the feds would have paid for it anyway.
They can claim the damages from the insurance company to the extent of its policy limits, and the shipping company if they prove fault for any damages above the policy limits, assuming the policy limits are tendered for settlement.
They may also sue the designers of the bridge if the statute of limitations has not run, and if there was some aspect of negligence in the design.
They may also sue the inspectors, if they were inadequate and not up to industry standards.
Liability for anyone depends on the proof, and on the absence of a terrorist act that caused the damage.
Biden is promising what would likely happen anyway.
Biden likes to use “pay” to mean “incur punishment,” like the Border Patrol agents falsely accused of whipping border crashers.
President Trump would have the bridge built within 3 years, and the government would not pay for it.
Lloyds of Lonfdon would pay for it, the multi billion dollar insurer of the ship Dali.
WHen TRump looks at this tragedy , he sees a hurting America.
When Biden looks at this tragedy, he sees millions of dollars of pork to be handed out in Baltimore on a DEI basis.
The collapsed Baltimore bridge didn't stand a chance against such a huge cargo ship, engineers say
And if Deep State gets its chance, it will replace that piece of crap with another poorly designed piece of crap.
Joe is wasting political capital on people who are going to vote for him anyway.
Corruption in government... Pay the ticket, take the ride.
The Republicans need to get ahead of this, but they won't.
Also; needless to say, the name of the bridge will be changed to that of a person "of color". Anyone who votes against that will be deemed "racist".
It sounds like an admission of liability.

Then you need a wheelbarrow full of deutchmarks to buy a loaf of bread
Ah, excuse me
Oh, will ya excuse me
I’m just trying to find the bridge
Has anybody seen the bridge?
Please
Have you seen the bridge?
I ain’t seen the bridge!
Where’s that confounded bridge?
2 trillion and 15 years, minimum.
They’ll pass a bill to get it fixed, but will add on all kinds of pork, and will say that anyone voting against it is heartless.
How about the owners of the bridge who failed to bolster the piers to account for ever larger ships?
Interesting that Angela Chao’s company owns that ship and she just happened to accidentally kill herself in a pond a few weeks ago. 🤔
Point of comparison:
The eastern part of the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge (from Buena Vista Island to Oakland) was damaged in a 1989 earthquake and judged to be needing replacement.
The replacement was finally opened in 2013. You do the math. During that time there were five different CA governors
Deukmejian 1983-1991
Wilson 1991-1999
Davis 1999-2003
Schwarzenegger 2003-2011
Brown 2011-2019
There was a 700% cost overrun. The replacement bridge has defects in design, construction and materials that will me it a forever maintenance headache.
Good luck Baltimore.
Baltimore, black minority city. Insurers,shipping company state and municipality funding should be on the hoof. Biden is in a rush to have the Federal taxpayers foot the full bill because that’s what identity politics folks do in attracting that particular group’s vote. No surprise here
