Baltimore is deeply fucked by this port disaster
Poast new message in this thread
Date: March 28th, 2024 8:14 PM Author: avocado magical alpha The training pipeline for new workers has already vanished. The way it worked before was that newbies only worked when they needed extra labor for some reason, so these guys were collecting a paycheck maybe only once or twice a week and doing something else the rest of the time until they graduated to full time worker.
Now they only need like 10% of their full time workforce for the next like decade. So Baltimore is det that whole time. Then you gotta fire up the port and attract a new workforce to...Baltimore?
The best thing to do right how would be to offload more Federal agency work to Baltimore, get that shit out of DC. Bulldoze Lexington Market using eminent domain. |

They can take up as much of that street as they want, use the rail tracks or re-route them underground or something. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5510534&forum_id=2#47535288) |

Date: March 28th, 2024 11:10 PM Author: Charismatic Fiercely-loyal Market Voyeur I thought about making a separate thread on this but seems more relevant here for scholarship such as your title.
My main thesis is to view the current event in the context of its FUBR time. If this happened in 1990, I wouldn't think twice. But in today's world, when stars align, mother philosophy guides my view.
1. we have a ship in transit impacting critical infrastructure. A key term.
2. said ship loses power but manages to steer directly into the bridge like an episode of paw patrol gone wrong
3. Prior to said ship striking said bridge, three minutes notice was given to a police force organized solely to patrol the bridge. That is enough time for an average driver to cross the 1.5 mile bridge and back again before the strike happens. No motorist are impacted by this coordination.
4. HOWEVER, the maintenance crew, made up of immigrants working on a state highway bridge, who are at the top of the bridge doing work in the lane of travel, roughly .75 miles from either side of the bridge, sitting inside of their vehicles on "lunch" at 1:30am, are not notified of the pending dome 3 minutes away.
5. In response to the tragedy, within 48 hours, DEI is inserted into the debate by both political parties and becomes an issue of debate on national television while regular people in that city suffer.
what a string of bad luck.

Date: March 28th, 2024 11:30 PM Author: deep brindle lodge It will take 2 weeks to 1 month to open the shipping lanes. Not 10 years.

Do you get what I'm saying now faggot? |

Date: March 29th, 2024 9:37 AM Author: Azure Lascivious Ticket Booth Faggot Firefighter Whatever would have gone over the bridge will now go by train to a truck depot outside the city or by truck in a big loop around Baltimore.

Date: March 29th, 2024 3:20 PM Author: spruce hilarious field people who are hurt The bridge only did like 30k cars a day. That's very, very low for an urban bridge.
Green Bay, Wisconsin has 3 bridges that beat that in volume.
The 35W bridge that collapsed in Minneapolis did like 5x the volume of the Key Bridge |
|
Date: March 29th, 2024 4:15 PM Author: avocado magical alpha No one drives their personal car on that bridge unless they took a wrong turn somewhere. The bridge was essential for cargo traffic however. Without that bridge there is no way to ship any sort of chemical or fuel through that port, because we don't allow that stuff to be transported through tunnels.

Date: March 29th, 2024 4:40 PM Author: spruce hilarious field people who are hurt Here's a sample bridge crossing:
I count seven vehicles you'd need a CDL for. The vast majority of the traffic is personal cars. |
|
Date: March 29th, 2024 4:42 PM Author: avocado magical alpha Yeah I know there are SOME people who live in Glen Burnie. The point is no coal or construction equipment or anything flammable is going through that port until a new bridge gets built. That's going to depress cargo traffic enough to kill jerbs in Baltimore. It's going to make it difficult to restore that kind of traffic to the port, since the training pipeline is screwed up. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5510534&forum_id=2#47537463) |
|
Date: March 29th, 2024 4:21 PM Author: deep brindle lodge This is like debating with a 12 year old girl.
The bridge opened in 1977. There was no crossing there prior to. From 1606 to 1977 they somehow made do. They can just drive it through the city. There is no rush hour downtown traffic to contend with in Baltimore |

|
Date: March 29th, 2024 4:46 PM Author: avocado magical alpha Government regulations apparently do NOT require cargo ships to have any kind of redundant steering control to prevent these kinds of accidents. That would be too expensive for them, you see. Guess who's paying to replace the bridge btw. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5510534&forum_id=2#47537474) |
|
Date: March 29th, 2024 5:56 PM Author: beady-eyed digit ratio Every ship is its own entity which is then contracted with by the shipping line so when it wrecks there is nothing to sue. Thanks Exxon!
PS I have no idea this is true, but why the fuck would the government say it was paying to replace the bridge. |
|
Date: March 29th, 2024 5:59 PM Author: hairraiser sanctuary bbw Government built a defective bridge without proper fendering so it’s probably mostly the bridge’s fault when it’s all said and done. Ships have been striking bridges for millennia so this risk was well known and foreseen. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5510534&forum_id=2#47537725) |
|
Date: March 29th, 2024 6:07 PM Author: avocado magical alpha Ships can crash into a lot of shit, not just bridges. God damn, I guess we don't need to worry about cargo plane safety either since they hardly ever fly into bridges. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5510534&forum_id=2#47537738) |

They never shot any scenes of The Wire there I don't think. It's not even part of the City of Baltimore. That's out in the county. BTW Baltimore County is the 4th richest metro in the USA by some measures due to a confluence of factors, but whatever go back to making fun of the mayor of the Baltimore City. |
