    The bridge is basically valueless compared to everything else about the ship and cargo plus the lawsuits from various contract breaches and other damages. Port shutdowns, environmental cleanup, insurance losses. $100m is a rounding error.

      It’s cost is both material and in the business of links from one side to the other. It’s almost certainly worth multi billions at this point.

      Think it’s probably more appropriate to say recover instead of rescue by this point. Unfortunately the Atlantic is pretty cold this time of year.

          So they’d free fall for ~3.4 seconds and hit water at around 75mph. That part could be survivable depending on angle of impact and safety features of the car. Assuming they survive impact, getting out in the dark with cold murky water coming in car and surviving the hypothermia as well and odds are slim to none.

            and they would have to be lucky enough to not have the bridge structure fall on top of them.

            Unfortunately it wasn’t freefall. If you watch the video its over 5 seconds from when the bridge collapses till they’re in the water.

              I replayed the video a zillion times to focus on each car going down. It’s horrifying

            Vehicles are designed for impacts from both sides, the back and the front, and maybe to roll around a few times… But not for what these people experienced.

            The remaining victims were part of a construction crew filling potholes.

    They were on the phone with bankruptcy lawyers before dawn. That is the ones that didn’t just disappear into hiding.

      Sir I will insure your ship for just a $1000 premium. I only take payment in iTunes gift card.

      Ship insurance is somewhat how modern capitalist world trade came into existence: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_East_India_Company?wprov=sfla1

      Bunch of people putting money together for ship to have a try going and returning with lots of goodies, is like an insurance I’m some way.

      I think insurance isn’t just possible, it’s obligated to be allowed to enter certain ports with certain shipsizes.

      I think that’s when it was built. A superstructure like a major port bridge will be well into the billions in 2024 money.

        Remember to also factor in losses due to transport disruptions in the calculations regarding the value of the accident

    It would not just be the bridge cost, some Corps. could try suing for business income lost. Do not think they will get very far.

    Like, most people still are not aware how this is going to fuck a bunch of market sectors that is theich bigger problem until the port is fully operational. Most (if not all) European car imports come into Baltimore. Cocoa comes there too. There are dozens of products. Ramifications are dire. On top of just to the local economy. Not to mention the pain of worst traffic.

    Expect price increases on some specific markets. Surely someone with more time and better knowledge will do a much better write up soon enough. Either here or on the news.
