The return of MurryMom! LOL

Do the hand-wringers on this thread have any idea how quickly the Army Corps of Engineers can throw up a bridge when necessary? If, God forbid, terrorists took out all the Missisippi crossings, I bet we’d have limited escorted commercial traffic flow back up within a week, whether by temporary bridge or barge.

The end of the world as we know it is not that easy to make happen.

Very limited, and I wouldn't exactly call it 'flow'. Taking out many or all major Mississippi crossings would take a long, difficult and very expensive time to remedy.
