the only DC related thing I will say "Biden says the US will fully pay for the reconstruction"

No shit sherlock.


Watching more video on the news. Incredible. This could have been so much worse.
But those poor road workers. Had no idea what was coming.

Yep, they said the biggest hurdle is just getting the floating cranes.

Eh, infrastructure projects are often paid for by a combination of state and federal spending, so his statement isn't a foregone conclusion. He can't technically even allocate funding for something like this - that's Congress's responsibility - so I take his statement to mean, "I'm going to push Congress to allocate 100% funding for this out of the federal budget rather than expecting Maryland to pay for some of it."

Man, if there's anything positive to take from this, at least it didn't happen during rush hour, and at least they had enough time to stop traffic and prevent more loss of life.

We have a lot of shitty bridges in this country. Piss poor infrastructure. East Coast and Midwest have a ton of steel garbage we all drive over daily.

There is no bridge in the world that can withstand a direct impact with a fully-loaded container ship.

It's that possible?

The amount of energy being delivered by that much tonnage is immense.

And remember, amoebic dysentery is usually treated with drugs such as metronidazole and tinidazole.

It will take a lot of ferries to get 35,000 cars across each day.
