To be fair - it will take days at least, perhaps a few weeks, to assess the situation and determine the safest and most effective way to clear the wreckage. I despise Booty-Judge, but his statement here, while non-informative, is correct.

Even a stopped clock...

Exactly. I used to be an engineer (have a few degrees). They have to determine how tangled the metal is, what impediments might be in the way, do the pieces have to be cut up, and a lot of other things. Giving an estimate on a time frame now would be speculation at best.

I'd sure be thinking about cutting it up...

Our military can work miracles....if they're not busy...say...like in Gaza.

Less than a week.

Figuring out how to disassemble a tangled pile of twisted members without collapsing the pile and killing more people is a difficult task. How do you do the engineering calcs on a twisted mess?
