Forget the tongue in cheek second part. I think the ACOE will do this in less than 6 months? It will be a good talking point for Biden if he can get it done. |

Good for pleasure craft. But I;m not aware of any barrier capable of stopping a transoceanic freighter. |

My response was to the tongue in cheek part. Saw this on Twitter:

They won't get started within six months. Engineering and environmental assessment will take that long, let alone removing the old bridge. "but if you make yourselves sheep, the wolves will eat you." Benjamin Franklin |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18770 | I was trying to think of what I would at least attempt to do if I was one of those workers on the bridge. Looks like they maybe had 3 seconds to do something. If you were anywhere away from the railing you would likely appear to be weightless, which means you likely couldn't do anything. When the bridge hits the water it's going to slam to a stop, and you're going to slam into it. As you'd likely be dead, severely injured and/or unconscious, even if it hung above the water a second more, you'd likely be in no condition to do anything. OTOH, if you were near, or on the rail, it would probably be best to try to propel yourself away from the bridge hoping you could survive the fall into water and not be crushed or injured by the bridge. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

I think the majority of commerce will be fine once they get the bridge pieces out of the water. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Seriously, maybe there is something wrong with the guy. He's literally ruined himself, or seems on the way with his obsession with supporting Trump. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Lara Logan calls it an 'absolutely brilliant strategic attack' 'Should have had a harbor pilot to pilot the boat. You are not supposed to traverse any obstacles without the harbor pilot.' 'They chose a full moon so they would have maximum tidal shift - rise and fall. Brisk flow in that river on a normal day & have had a lot of rain recently so water was already moving along at a good pace.' 'Compulsory pilotage is a requirement that certain vessels entering or leaving a port or waterway must use the services of a licensed pilot. The purpose of compulsory pilotage is to ensure the safe navigation of ships through difficult or dangerous waters, such as narrow channels, congested ports, or areas with strong currents or tides.' https://twitter.com/laralogan/status/1772675651599770093 |

Lara Logan is a QAnon crazy. Why are you quoting her as if she has a valid viewpoint? “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |
