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.

Another Didn’t Earn It (DEI) Idiot!!!!
The lanes they have now are 11’ and 14’, suitable for tugs and barges. Heck, I have 11’ at my dock at the lake, that’s NOTHING!
Getting to that “next” to enable large ships to pass is nontrivial. Watch that update I posted just above.
remarkably complex for an idiot who knows nothing
Clearing out the main channel is likely to be somewhat difficult. Parts of the bridge maybe embedded in the muck. Both the fallen roadway and bridge structure have to be cleared in order to use dredging equipment and get the deepest draft vessels through. It will be interesting to see how long it takes..
“what you find difficult, I find simple”
“remarkably complex“
It’s times like this that gender studies graduates are in high demand.
Will they even have the debris cleared by then?
“Complex” in that they’re determined to control evidence, facts, and communications to prevent the truth from coming out, which means they know who caused it and it conflicts with their narrative.
“its remarkably complex” = don’t get angry, this is going to take us years!
He sure is! And we have been telling them!
Mike Holmes could have that sucker done in a month.
Wes Moore is the next Democrat presidential pick that bridge won’t open until 2027 at the earliest.
>My money is on 10 years minimum to replace bridge
Yep. 10 years, $10B. That’s my wager.
It might take a whole year to open a deep channel for the container ships, this may be a real case of “you can’t get there from here”.
Spiro T. Agnew, another son of Maryland. After Nixon won in a landslide and with Agnew as VP, the dems (deep state) were deathly afraid of a 16 year run of Republicans in the White House so they took him out. What they got him with sounds very similar to so many politicians, particularly in Maryland, and particularly with the present occupant of the WH.
They didn’t clear two lanes. The Coast Guard went in and put in channel markers based on the existing depth charts of the harbor. One has a depth of 11 feet, the other, a depth of 14 feet. these new marked channels are suitable for tugs, barges and other shallow draft vessels.
Already making excuses for what figures to be a 30-year romp in political corruption known as getting dems and unions to build something, anything.
Compare and contrast the generational attitudes.
8==4 + 2 ????????
GLAD I WENT TO A ONE ROOM SCHOOL
RIVER BOTTOM Is about 25 feet.
NOT exactly the Marianas Trench
Everything is ten times harder when idiots are in charge.
