Maryland governor: Baltimore bridge recovery operation ‘remarkably complex’

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) said the Baltimore bridge recovery operation is “remarkably complex” as crews work to remove the cargo ship that hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge last week as well as the debris.

Moore joined NewsNation’s ‘Cuomo’ late Thursday, telling host Chris Cuomo the ship is “literally the size of the Eiffel Tower, and the weight of the Washington Monument.”

Moore said 27,000 tons of bridge debris is“pancaked” at the bottom of the river.

When the ship struck the bridge, an eight-man construction crew was working to repair the road surface. The collapse was so fast they had no time to evacuate. Two of them died and four are still missing.

Math is hard!!!

Read elsewhere they’ll have one lane cleared by end of April and fully reopen by May.

They haven’t even started clearing anything yet.

Translation: we will be stretching this bridge repair job out as long as possible to maximize kickbacks and other fraud.

He’s right. This stuff ain’t easy. And being on water makes it harder. People watch too much TV, the real world rarely presents problems that can be solved in 42 minutes.

I believe they have already cleared two lanes. The next one will be for the largest ships.

Amazing.

Donald Trump shut off her to do this at cost and he’ll be done in 6 months

“Complex”. Word of the month. Learned it from Buttplug. It seems to have worked for him.

“We’ll use the word “complex” so people won’t catch on that we’re really disrupting and ruining trade while looking like we care...”

It all depends on how fast we can get all the materials, from China.

Right. Trump would have it done “early and under budget”.

People with the can’t-do mind set see problems as excuses, not obstacles.

It’s complex because Maryland is a communist state and full of government employees who get paid to obstruct progress
