Well said.

US military does not have the heavy lift (1,000 ton and more) floating cranes needed. Only some salvage companies have the needed cranes; they are likely working jobs somewhere in the world, not in the US & would have to make a sea voyage to begin.

I doubt it, although I’ll admit I’m no expert. I don’t think our military currently has the means and equipment to do the job. (This comes from What’s Going On with Shipping and G-Captain). For one thing the ship has to be moved out of the way, and before that happens, the part of the bridge hanging off of the ship has to be removed.

If it were wartime and all that was needed was to blow up what was left of the bridge, it would take time to clear the shipping lane. There are, apparently firms in Europe, especially the Netherlands, that have the equipment and expertise to do the job, but it will take time to get them in place in Baltimore.

I would imagine it will be weeks before we even get a ‘timeline’.

With or without explosives?
