Just when I wanted a Chinese POS

How many Asian-a-saws were lost?

Ten containers full of instant Ramen noodle soup went down too, 10$ insurance payout!
Or so I heard...

I hear the river is a soupy mess but the Asian Carp love it.

1 million ton crane with 3 million tons of scrap to pick up.

My guess is probably anywhere from 200 - 500 picks with 5 - 10 lifts a day.
Down to 3 - 5 picks underwater.

Plus weather and breakdowns I'm going to guess 3 months for clean up.

Many years ago when I was working for the Corps of Engineers there was a small tow boat that was trying to help break ice above the dam so we could all the barges south for the winter. The captain should never had the boat where he did as it was way unpowered for the job. It got caught in the ice flow and slammed into the dam rolling on its side. Thankfully all men escaped fine. There was no possibly way to recover it then so it was left until spring. I was amazed at how long it actually took to make the single pic to remove it.

with all the recent news stories coming out about Baltimore, it almost seems like the city is under attack.

Baltimore has been under attack from within, from a long time now.

The old crane the Corps had lifted 350-400 ton. This is the new one which will lift 500 ton.

And plans for the new bridge are already out:

O look…all the barriers that were supposed to have been installed so many years ago to prevent just this scenario are in the new rendering. Gee.
Nice job, Baltimore.
