David M.

lakelady<p>it's interesting to me that along with the search and rescue efforts most posts are mentioning the traffic congestion that will be caused by the Baltimore bridge collapse. Few are saying anything about a large port being closed indefinitely. Any ship in port is now stuck there until debris is removed along with a large disabled container ship. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Baltimore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Baltimore</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BridgeCollapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BridgeCollapse</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/PortClosed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PortClosed</span></a></p>
