Baltimore bridge collapse: Who will pay for the destroyed bridge, lost lives and harmed businesses?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 мар 2024
- The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland is a multi-layered tragedy: For the families and friends of those killed or presumed dead, it's a profound and personal loss. For businesses that rely on the Port of Baltimore, it's an economic nightmare.
And for the federal courts, it will soon become a balance of dollars and facts, with a network of insurance companies expected to foot at least some of the bill.
The disaster happened early Tuesday when a cargo ship lost power and rammed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge. Eight people were on the highway bridge when it collapsed. Two were rescued. The bodies of two more were recovered, and four remain missing and are presumed dead.

Who will pay, simple answer. Everyone except those responsible, who else?
Conservatives love conspiracy more than reality
I know this is sarcasm, but it's just too real and idiotic to be humorous, it's ridiculous to make taxpayers yet again foot the bill
@@mattpoules9225 just say you don't understand how government works and move on. Of course taxes pay for it then they go after the company for they money later. You're just asking for even more money to be lost waiting for the legal processes to play out.
@@SurelockohmsThey don't understand that litigation takes years and individual workers and companies need to be paid as the work progresses.
Wrong. MEXICO will pay! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 #MAGA
The shipping company & there insurance should be on the hook for everything, not the taxpayers
But if you wait for all that to play out then it will take many years. The government should pay for it then go after the company. Duh
In planet Biden world, good luck with that.
@@Surelockohmsyea the government should cover it first that way it can give the company time to restructure and their shareholders can pull funding and shut down so the government doesn’t get paid back and the tax payers can cover it all.
@@Tsubakibb either way conservatives are just advocating for it to take even longer to be rebuilt and lose billions because a major port is shut down.
@@Tsubakibbuhh hun, they can do that anyway. At any time. Regardless if the federal government steps in or not. Not only is it not a US based company, it’s also very rich and can buy its way out of responsibility and accountability just like any other global business. Don’t kid yourself…
That container ship company should be paying the bill for being completely incompetent.
which one? the vessel owner, the charterer or the operator?
Unless our Government planned this, the shipping company should be made to pay for this! NOT the taxpayers!!!
gematria 128
Ain't it a shame that we even have to think our gov might of planned it?
@lynsylva-bb6ss Looked like they aimed and drove right into it. Watch the video of it hitting. The engine is running and at full speed, you can tell by the black smoke from the stack
Coincidence that it happens the year of election?
@jaybird5877 didn't look close enough. The ship lost complete power twice, and they even tried dropping the anchor on the opposite side to force the ship to turn left. You can tell because the ship lighting goes out twice. The black smoke was them trying to restart the engine. I'm kinda worried about your outlook when you assume everything is intentional instead of an accident.
Tax payers are not paying for this. The USA better make the company that wrecked into it pay for it.
What specifically are you gonna do to prevent taxpayers from paying...?
Israel isnt paying for anything.
Thank you.
Ukraine isnt paying for anything.
Money is coming out of the taxpayers pockets, going to ukraine and get laundered
That was not a natural disaster. The USA, the State of Maryland, and the City of Baltimore need to take that company to court and make them pay for everything, including the lives of people that happened to be on the bridge, either working or driving, as well as their vehicles.
Who approved the receipt of dirty fuel at the port and why $$
The ship has fuel polishers on board. It’s the owner of the ships fault.
And you assume this will all be accomplished in like, a day?
We are more likely to send more money to Israel for this than any responsible party being held accountable.
@@lucky7even622 As long as it needs to take, but the company needs to pay eventually.
Don't you just love how they keep stating that the bridge collapsed and they never say nothing about the ship the container ship that made it collapse
Yes, I had noticed.
Mainstream media also keeps trying to build support and sympathy for the sailors rather than victims and their families. That's what got me. As well as the fact the government released no names or photos of the Sailors. Like they destroyed a fu*ing national monument. Accident or not PUT THEM IN JAIL AND TELL US WHO THEY ARE.
We should not be responsible for the cost they have insurance and there a multi-billion dollar company
The shipping company and their insurance should be shouldering all the cost to rebuilt the bridge, not the public tax monies.
And when it’s done, only the insurers who paid for it get to use the bridge and it’s no longer public?
Everytime you cross that bridge as a member of the motoring public, you are wearing it out. Every time a FedEx truck crosses with a package for you, you are wearing out the bridge. So all will pay including the taxpayers who work at the insurance companies.
It wasn't their fault. It's the damn engineers too stupid to build abutments to protect the bridge. Who would build byways without guardrails? A busy channel water needs abutments to protect its bridges.
@@eduardohoover2127 They hit it pretty much head on and at full speed. Watch the video, you can see the smoke from the stack and it only comes out that much and that dark if you floor it fast
They will but only up to the limits of the policy. Insurance is not wide open...they have policy limits such as one million per loss or 10 million etc. Thats all they will pay.
@@eduardohoover2127 That idea won't fly. Hitting a stationary object is always the liability of those doing the hitting.
The corporations need to pay every red cent. Stop coddling these corporations and make them pay up
No one is arguing against that.
And which corporation should pay in this case? Have you even bothered to look up who owns the ship that crashed? Because that is the first step in actually making change instead of whining about "the man." Vaugely shaking your fist at authority while doing nothing to actually challenge is the opposite of rebellion. It's actually a total bootlicker move to give credence to the idea of protest or dissent without actually doing anything about it.
The ship is owned by a Chinese company Bidum will make the pay
I met Bidum will not make China pay.
@@user-dx5eh1yo3u Biden is racist against Chinese people and wants to start a new Cold War with China, so he probably will.
Global shipping should pay, otherwise no more junk barges allowed here.
@@Novocaine33 Why not? Anything that drives up the cost of global junk is probably a good thing for the earth in the long run.
The effort to rebuild and recover is truly astounding. The entire operation is clearly well-coordinated and the positive impact on the economy once the rebuild is complete is going to be immense. Wishing everyone involved in this massive endeavor the very best.
It will take lawyers and courts years to figure out the Baltimore disaster.. In the meantime here is what may happen and we taxpayers will take the hit. Please read below.
Here is a Joe Biden solution. Election year politics. Joe selects what disasters to key on. Not much help or Presidential publicity on Palestine, Ohio ( toxic train wreck) or the "wide open border".

Of course, Joe Biden says the Feds should pay to rebuild the bridge. It was one of those "black swan" events that comes out of nowhere. What Joe really meant to say was: Of course all American taxpayers should pay for a new bridge. This is going to be a picture book example of how compassionate Joe handles difficult situations when America is in need.
You see, Joe and the Federal Government have no money. No rainy day fund. Nothing. Zilch.
Joe Biden could have said, "I am going to require Americans to pay a “special one time tax” for this new bridge. It is the least we can do as Americans to help Baltimore through this terrible crisis". Will it happen? Not in your life. This is an election year!
So what is Joe Biden going to do? With Congressional help, he is going to add it to the National deficit which stands at $34.4 trillion dollars. See how easy that was.
Let's project that the bridge will cost $500,000,000 dollars and the government pays 4% interest a year for this loan. It will cost the American taxpayers $20,000,000 in interest payments every year. What a neat way to borrow money and never have to pay it back! That is why the National Debt is $34.4 trillion dollars. The loan amount is never paid down, only the interest payment on the loan is paid every year. The bridge loan amount is just added to the National Debt.
So, American taxpayers (you) will be paying the interest payment on this loan every year for the rest of your life, your children will be paying the interest payment on this loan every year for all of their life, etc, etc, etc.
After 30 years, American taxpayers will have paid $600,000,000 dollars in interest payments and still owe the original $500,000,000 dollars.
So what about that $34.4 trillion National Debt? Well it keeps growing larger and it is projected that by 2026, American taxpayers will be paying one trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) dollars in interest payments every year. This figure will also continue to grow every year.
So whether Joe uses a “one time special tax” or throws the loan amount in the pot with the rest of the National Debt; you will end up paying for the bridge. I hope everyone gets to enjoy traveling on the new Baltimore Bridge, when it is completed, at some time in their life.
"Pay attention to what Joe Biden does, because his actions will tell you everything you need to know."
Insurance. 🤷🏽♀️ WTH is it for?!
Believe it or not, scam.
😂
My dad was a Farmer's Insurance Group agent for 40 years and he had other agencies as well including Traveler's Insurance Group. I am now 52 years old and I have seen so many claims get denied by companies like AON, Progressive and Lloyd's of London more frequently now. I have a business in the south Pacific and we got typhoon insurance that we paid the premium monthly. A typhoon came and damaged much of our business but AON denied the claim and said they don't cover typhoons!! I flipped out and filed a complaint with the department of insurance. Our policy clearly defined the coverage and we were rightfully insured. The complaint is still being processed almost 8 years later. Not to mention a childhood friend of mine died of a heart attack and had a life policy of $500,000 and the company (Mutual of Omaha) denied the claim after an autopsy revealed he had black lung from smoking. He stated he was a non smoker a decade earlier on his application. The insurance industry is a scam now. I worked for a small tanker ship company that had a contingency account primarily for covering perils so that a claim made on insurance wouldn't put them out of business with a higher premium. They used the contingency money in place of the actual insurance company ( Lloyd's of London) to cover perils that happen often in the shipping industry.
If an insurance company pays for it they will do an independent investigation. They don’t want that
Insurance companies make money on fear. They don't want to pay out. That's why they make you pay more if you're high risk
If you hit something with your car, you and your insurance are responsible.You're telling me that the company does not have insurance on their shipping
They do, bjt not for this. The builders of the bridge are responsible.
@@annielee9271 Not, the owner and captain of the boat are
Does everyone have $500 million insurance limits? Insurance is going to pay what their limits are...most likely that number is less than the damages.
@@annielee9271
Yes, there should have been protection against this, as learned elsewhere many years ago. The collapse itself was entirely 100% preventable.
The way nobody is talking about the construction workers who were on the bridge????
The federal government should not pay for this. The insurance company of the boat should! Why isn’t that being talked about in the news! You can bet! If you or I caused it we would be personally on the hook for it or in jail!
Because the people who did it own the news.
@@mahdithabarber1354 🤔
@@BigMarv652 I mean it’s like monopoly the people at the top own everything.🧐
The ship has insurance, let them pay.
No one is arguing against it.
True. However we will reap the investment back through commerce. There is always one person or a few, who say we as America shouldn't spend money on our selves. How dumb is that?? Yet we send boatloads of money to other countries and not one got damm word is said. The only recent negative comments have been about sending money to Ukraine, and that is all because of politics! Go figure!! 🤔
@@tedthomas3436it’s almost as if they didn’t see the value chart the port imports and exports and how much more that is versus the $1B high end estimate of the repairs? But I always have to remind myself that 5 out of 4 Americans can’t even do fractions, so math will never math to them… 🙃
Insurance will sue who is responsible and will get paid genius
Umm, insurance (of any kind) is never to be trusted.
The shipping company should pay, but they'll probably declare bankruptcy, forcing taxpayers to foot the bill. With a project of this scale, money will be "missing".
10% for the big guy .

People here CLEARLY don't understand how insurance works.
Yes and its maritime insurance which is more complex.
@@Garth2011 Insurance is insurance... a policy is a policy. I love maritime coverage!
Sure they do. Insurance pays, then everybody's rates go through the roof for the next 20 years. Doesn't matter who pays....us, taxpayers, or those responsible. Everybody that had nothing to do with any of this will pay one way or the other.
The bridge is insured, as is the shipping company, with both policies underwritten by Lloyd's of London, which reported a pre-tax profit of nearly $13 billion last year. There should be no necessity for the US Government to contribute any funds. However, it seems they are inclined to do so, likely through the passage of a bill, which opens the door for additional unrelated provisions. The nine most terrifying words to hear are, "I'm from the Government, and I'm here to help."
I agree. Here is what I fear will happen.

Privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
It's typical for government to fund things because it takes so much time to for the legal side to sort itself out. You're just asking for the bridge to remain down long than needed and that will cost even more money.
@@Surelockohms i'm sure once the legal side is worked out, those taxes will be repaid to the taxpayers! NOT
@@Surelockohmsjust because it takes longer doesn’t make it morally wrong. taking money from people who had nothing to do with it is morally wrong. i couldn’t care less how long it takes.
edit: and to say that would cost more money? how? im sure there are other alternatives to get across the river.
I pick up cargo in sparrows point It used to take me 20 minutes to get there. Now it take me an hour. I’m burning more fuel, at a rate of 4.5 miles per gallon. working longer hrs, and sitting in more traffic because the 30000 cars per day that cross the key bridge now have to take one of the two tunnels. That’s how it costs more money. You may not care how long it takes to rebuild the bridge because it doesn’t affect you, but I care and so do the thousands of people who work on the other side of the bridge.
Very well said. @johnhaywood954
So that figure of between 300$ million to a billion$ depends on how much the politicians feel like pocketing that day? 🤔
Can't expect them to get by on their salary, insider trading and lobbying money alone.
Well the big guy and his crime family will get at least 20%. Pelosi, Schumer and Barry and Big Mike want in too
Bidens already calling for $60 billion to fix this bridge... $60 billion! The most expensive bridge in the world (in Hong Kong) cost $20 billion to build.
As usual the price will be falsely escalated so they can rob more money form the citizens.

What company owns that boat? They should pay!
The country that owns the cargo ship should pay for rebuild.
Isn’t there supposed to be insurance that covers the bridge by whoever owns it, as well as insurance coverage the barge has for accidents??!?
The owner of the ship died six days before the accident. She was a BILLIONAIRE who allegedly was drunk enough to reverse her car into a river, and drown. However her toxicity tests were way higher than someone who could even drive drunk. She was provdbly dead before entering her car.. Sounds like another conspiracy
Yeah, no one is arguing against it.
It's part of the interstate highway system. So it's owned by the Fed, and the State of Maryland as equal partners.
The Federal Government paid to build it, and the State of Maryland had the job of fixing and maintaining it.
@@bennyboogenheimer4553 yes but if it’s civilian damages the bridge in a car accident or a fire they are expected to file with their insurance to cover stuff like that. That is what insurance is for it is not the taxpayers responsibility to pay for a shipping accident. That’s ridiculous to think that the person that built it and maintains it should be the one to have to replace it even though we has taxpayers did nothing to cause this. Come on now.
Yes the owner has insurance. He will make a fortune on this one.
The Documentary about this accident is going to be crazy. 100% it will be on Netflix.
Modern day documentaries are all flash and no substance
And you’ll believe any and everything on that documentary.
sounds like the most boring documentary ever
Will be filled of lies😅
The Amy Winehouse (if you like her) was a great documentary! Plenty of Substance.
Insurance Company should have to pay
How is this even a question? The shipping company responsible should be paying with insurance and then out of their own pockets.
Watch the insurance companies find a way to weasel out of paying.
Yeah they will drop them from their coverage like some auto companies do if you crash your car lol
Funny thing,they haven't even mentioned Insurance companies,very suspicious.
I bet they pull something like well the captain was not in control of the ship so we aren’t paying.
The families of those lost workers shouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of their lives.
Really? Then sue the Singapore company that owns the boat and no one else.
@@michaelperkins3003 whatever... don't really care who pays for it. Bottom line is those workers families shouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of their lives.
@@michaelperkins3003that's their point...
@@michaelperkins3003no one else cuz systemic failures mean nobody is responsible
Hand outs are just hand outs at that point. I'd rather see accountability.
That shipping company needs to pay for the damages they caused. Nobody did that except them.
The news stations need to stop inciting such a nasty degree of panic upon society. Our Nation is all ready falling apart. Nothing else is required to frighten a lot of people
But you tell people Jesus is comming and they don't believe you!! If you were born in the 80s you see it's gotten worse during our generation simply look at T.V.
@BOBBRADLY-gh3dhfinally someone realizes how biased they can make these comment sections 😩
Indeed. People should just boycott the news media.
Follow the money folks, I would NOT be surprised if the winning bid or any clean-up and rebuilding is connected to somebody holding a position of power in Washington.
That's always been the case.
of course, they're all funneling taxpayer money to each other, how else do you suppose they all became billionaires
@@mattpoules9225 So let's elect a billionaire that will give tax breaks to billionaires and deregulated industries so more accidents happen?
Biden, Biden, and Biden Inc?
Or China
Why would it take years? Set up a foundry on the shores of where the bridge is going to be built. is it even possible to create a tunnel and how long would that take? Is the problem with our country. Managing projects should be an open source where every engineer in the land can come forward with solutions it’s not just a small group of people making these decisions.
The shipping company should pay, not the taxpayer. What’s the point of insurance if not for cases like this?
If the tax payers have to pay then the orange stained dumpster fire with 91 felonies is off the hook since he doesn't pay taxes and is the king of grift.
They cover the cost of miner incidents .Not this scale.
The cost is going to be in the billions it's not just building a new bridge it's also the loss of buisness that port does.
Question: How does the loss of the F.S.K. bridge significantly affect the loading & unloading of cargo,
or passengers, in the port of Baltimore? Once its debris is cleared & there are alternate ways to move
cargo to ships, why does the loss of the bridge present a major problem?
This is how the modern news media functions....inflate every story for profits and huge viewership.
THE WHO EVER DESTROYERS DESTROYED IT!
Let me get this straight, are they working on this "24 HOURS A DAY?"
24 hours a day for 24 hours a day
By now, the Chinese would have already removed all the debris and be halfway through rebuilding the bridge.
That’s true, USA is slow on everything 😂
Can't make it public.
They'd have old pictures of the unfinished original bridge, being passed off as current, for all the international press.
Something something, paper tiger.
i wouldn't hesitate to believe it. But I would not trust any chinese-made bridge with my life, precisely becos of the speed they construct things.
thats cause they got to divide up whos friends get what contracts and kickbacks...
Baltimore and the insurance company should pay for the bridge not the taxpayers of the United States
I mean, that’s great and all… but how about we talk about how this happened in the first place. And how the two minutes before the boat hit the bridge is just completely gone from the black box?!! It wasn’t no power outage. Those things have their own power supply and backup!!
Redacted looked at the company’s website and discovered that the ships captain is Ukrainian. Could mean nothing…or…
I think you may need to readjust your tinfoil hat.
Who the heck do you think will pay for it, the American taxpayers will be forced to take up the cost as always!

What a neat way to borrow money and never have to pay it back! That is why the National Debt is $34.4 trillion dollars. The loan amount is never paid down, only the interest payment on the loan is paid every year. The bridge loan amount is just added to the National Debt.
So, American taxpayers (you) will be paying the interest payment on this loan every year for the rest of your life, your children will be paying the interest payment on this loan every year for all of their life, etc, etc, etc.
After 30 years, American taxpayers will have paid $600,000,000 dollars in interest payments and still owe the original $500,000,000 dollars.
So what about that $34.4 trillion National Debt? Well it keeps growing larger and it is projected that by 2026, American taxpayers will be paying one trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) dollars in interest payments every year. This figure will also continue to grow every year.
So whether Joe uses a “one time special tax” or throws the loan amount in the pot with the rest of the National Debt; you will end up paying for the bridge. I hope everyone gets to enjoy traveling on the new Baltimore Bridge, when it is completed.

The ship owner SHOULD PAY FOR EVERYTHING AND THAT IS THE ONLY WAY AND ONLY
NOT tax payers money period
The state of Maryland should be held responsible as well for the bridge not being structurally sound
ChyNaa
The owner of the ship died six days before the accident. She was a BILLIONAIRE who allegedly was drunk enough to reverse her car into a river. Sounds like another conspiracy
@@michaelnelson1128Dumb take
@@lionintu for real? I would love to see where you learned that because that sounds fascinating.
The vessel company and its insurance policy. Clearly a technical incident and the insurance should cover for the most part.
Just leave it down. Clean up the mess, don't rebuild. Who the hell is going to trust that bridge anytime soon?
Why we gotta pay?? Does the ship have insurance??
Why is this in question when they don't even have all the innocents bodies recovered? And were worried about a new bridge and who will pay for it? Imagine your daughter, son, mother, father or anyone else is under that bridge? And people Are worried about who is paying for it and when it'll get rebuilt. Sad.
Open your mind
Who is going to pay for the recovery of the bodies?
With the tides coming in and going out plus the flow of the river, those bodies are likely very far away from the bridge.
@@markstevenson6635 not Israel !
Because believe it or not the economy is pretty important.
Ship insurance is responsible for damages done by the ship that way you have to have insurance in the states for that reason.
Thank you for such positive words
no new taxes for billoionairs, just raise prices on the poors.
So if I work hard and become a billionaire, I should pay more taxes to help the poor? Out of curiosity, does that really make sense to you?
Only 60% of Americans pay income tax, you can't raise the taxes on someone who pays no taxes to begin with. Also 37% is enough tax for anyone, billionaires, millionaires, and everyone else who makes more money than you definitely pays their fair share.
In the US, - the capital of false flags - it is unclear whether this bridge demolition ( like the controlled demolition on 9/11 ) was staged, probably to bring down the old bridge.
Also government is tight lipped about the number of workers killed - a tribute to the evil media that runs the country today
If you are tax wise you should pay very little or no tax hopefully getting a refund after government and bank held your money for a year or more like 'christmas clubs' of the 40's or 50's
Yeah, real smart, tax billionaires so they take their money elsewhere. This isn't the 1930s, they're not beholden to the US.
There goes the prices of everything going up more because of this mess and the sad part is that the people that are on a fixed income are not able to afford to buy everything that they need and how very sad that this is.

@@spookymiraclepreacher6037carbon tax how ludicrous
Corporation insurance should pay. Not the tax payers.
Prayers for the families and friends who have someone involved in this incident. The ship company and captain should take responsibility on this, not the tax payers. It's not a natural disaster, and you cannot convince me that it is the engineer's fault when every ships were able to navigate through the bridge fine since 1977.
That would be the right thing. But do shipping companies carry enough insurance to cover such a huge accident? Is there any international maritime law requiring shipping companies to have that much coverage? The funding is needed immediately too. A very unfortunate situation.
I would think so. I bury cable and we have to have up to 10 million coverage insurance in some states
I feel that the company that owes the ship, should have to pay for all of it and more.
This was crazy
the cargo shipper should be paying !
why is the government just looking past assessing the costs to the insurance of the company …
our economy doesn’t need the burden ! 😡
That boats insurance will pay for the bridge. Whatever the insurance doesn't cover, the shipping company has to pick up the rest
Who owns the insurance company? Imagine how much they’re worth.
Who should pay? The shipping company and/or their insurance. That's what insurance is for!
That ship has insurance and needs to pay the bill. Not the federal government!
We need to see the service record of that ship.
The ship should be insured and they should get the bill. But the way things work, all of our rates will go up to cover the cost while we pay for it with our taxes as well.

I hope you're aware of that. It's a zero sum game where every dollar spent overseas will be returned two fold, the political ruling elite along with their Wall Street cronies are who reap the benefits, not the American people...
America gives zero f***s about these other so called nations you speak about
I assume the ship’s insurance should be responsible
To file a lawsuit against the shipping company could take years of postponements and waiting. There needs to be a remedy now. Getting the pieces moved to clear a path is a good idea. This problem will years to fix with funds and salvaging. The people of Baltimore and other cities that depending on shipping need relief yesterday.
Meanwhile someone out there is hungrily looking at the possibility of being contracted to make the replacement bridge… “No crisis goes to waste” and all that.
The company that owns that container ship should have to pay for whatever their insurance doesn't cover.
Must be owned by gov because the mob boss is coughing up millions .
Noone has addressed the real issue here... those container ships have simply become far too large for the infrastructure of many of our ports.... period. What I find amazing is that no other huge ship ran into that bridge.... considering it was so easily brought down?? Wow.😢

Having not seen a single thing about this event until THIS STORY, I have no idea WTF happened. Couldn't bother with a quick little recap? Catch up the late comers?
Also, $1 Billion for a bridge? Is American money worth nothing or are they just calculating graft and extortion ahead of time now? Little bit of both, maybe?
Out of curiosity, how much do you think removing a fallen bridge (millions of tons of metal) from a waterway and building a new bridge would cost (since you think a billion dollars is not a reasonable high-end price)?
"Who will pay for the destroyed bridge, lost lives and harmed businesses?"
That's pretty simple... The owner of the ship and the company that insured them.
In NO WAY should the American taxpayer foot the bill.
The owner of the ship died six days before the accident. She was a BILLIONAIRE who allegedly was drunk enough to reverse her car into a river. Sounds lime another conspirscy
No one is arguing against it. The government pats for it now so they can rebuild and get they money back later because it will take a long time to get the insurance money... Conservatives really showing their ignorance in comments.
Yep, maersk has made a mint shipping junk to our country for 50 years. They have it.

Unfortunately lives were lost but this is likely one of the best things that could have happened to Baltimores economically depressed condition. A huge influx of taxpayer money will “fix everything”. Just as the governor attempted to use the “Baltimore strong” language reminiscent of the 9-11 attacks, American taxpayers will eventually pick up the tab in a vain attempt to restore Baltimore to its former glory. Only way to do that is restore government with big changes, forcing cities to be fiscally responsible.
It won't change

I was born and raised in the state of Maryland Glen Burnie to be exact. Grew up fishing on that Waterway and swimming I have known that bridge my entire life. I am a Republican and I would like to know the Republicans names that are against the federal government supporting the financial end of this tragic situation. For these Republicans are not those that I would choose or vote for to contribute to running our nation . If our government can send trillions of dollars overseas over these last three years and squabble about the cost of infrastructure in our own country why would anybody want these people to represent our nation. I would really love for the new station to respond with the names of the Republicans who are against this.

What Joe really meant to say was: Of course all American taxpayers should pay for a new bridge. This is going to be a picture book example of how compassionate Joe handles difficult situations when America is in need.
You see, Joe and the Federal Government have no money. No rainy day fund. Nothing. Zilch.
Joe Biden could have said, "I am going to require Americans to pay a “special one time tax” for this new bridge. It is the least we can do as Americans to help Baltimore through this terrible crisis". Will it happen? Not in your life. This is an election year!
So what is Joe Biden going to do? With Congressional help, he is going to add it to the National deficit which stands at $34.4 trillion dollars. See how easy that was.
Let's project that the bridge will cost $500,000,000 dollars and the government pays 4% interest a year for this loan. It will cost the American taxpayers $20,000,000 in interest payments every year. What a neat way to borrow money and never have to pay it back! That is why the National Debt is $34.4 trillion dollars. The loan amount is never paid down, only the interest payment on the loan is paid every year. The bridge loan amount is just added to the National Debt.
So, American taxpayers (you) will be paying the interest payment on this loan every year for the rest of your life, your children will be paying the interest payment on this loan every year for all of their life, etc, etc, etc.
After 30 years, American taxpayers will have paid $600,000,000 dollars in interest payments and still owe the original $500,000,000 dollars.
So what about that $34.4 trillion National Debt? Well it keeps growing larger and it is projected that by 2026, American taxpayers will be paying one trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000) dollars in interest payments every year. This figure will also continue to grow every year.
So whether Joe uses a “one time special tax” or throws the loan amount in the pot with the rest of the National Debt; you will end up paying for the bridge. I hope everyone gets to enjoy traveling on the new Baltimore Bridge, when it is completed.

will tell you everything you need to know."
We have some real fools in this comment section. Nobody seems to realize how little a billion dollars actually is when it comes to our government's budget. Not to mention, the port is responsible for billions of dollars worth of goods being both imported and exported.
that's why they should make examples out of those that created this, maybe it was planned for all we know, an act of sabotage , knowing we'd be stupid enough to pay for it ourselves and wouldn't investigate it thoroughly that it was truly "accidental", what flag does this vessel fly under? What kind of "maintenance " causes a ships engine to stop less than a day after, and what was wrong with the rudder, looks like it targeted one of the supporting sections to get maximum dammage.
It will take lawyers and courts years to figure out the Baltimore disaster.. In the meantime here is what may happen and we taxpayers will take the hit. Please read below.
Here is a Joe Biden solution. Election year politics. Joe selects what disasters to key on. Not much help or Presidential publicity on Palestine, Ohio ( toxic train wreck) or the "wide open border".

Who's going to pay for it? We will as taxpayers which is freaking ridiculous!
Put a sales tax on imports to pay for it . The insurance company covering the ship has to pay .
Money we don’t have? How about not building a bridge and removing the old bridge. People can drive the long way around

The person maning that boat should be sent to jail for killing people if they locked up a truck driver for his negligence then the same should apply no excuses
It wasn’t negligence tho, have you even read into what happened on board?
@@owencribbs3019 If it wasn’t the boat would’ve never hit the bridge “losing power” …. They were reckless they let these people get away with murder and knock a whole bridge down that now possibly working Americans need to pay for….
@@owencribbs3019 They didn’t even have tug boats like they were suppose to have to help them move around when working in the tight of space if they did have them they would’ve avoided all this….
Under law the shipping company will not have to pay for the bridge. The law states they are only liable for the cost of the ship and cargo. Thats it. Been law for over 100 years.
The ship company should be sued to help out. These ships need to be inspected. Why did the crewmen not return to the port right away after they noticed the ship was not functioning good? Why did 'nt the workers not have radios to alert them to get off the bridge? Why is are these ships not fixed well ,before taking off? Sad for the workers and their families. Lo siento mucho por las familas que perderon un familar .
Why did the owner mysteriously die 6 days before the"accident"? She was a BILLIONAIRE who allegedly was drunk enough to reverse her car into a river, and drown. However her toxicity tests were way higher than someone who could even drive drunk. She was provdbly dead before entering her car.. Sounds like another conspiracy
It's hard to return to port when you have no power.
It is ALL about $ .
That’s why I don’t like going on bridges and being scared to it cuz of things like that happening. Like people say you never know what could happen
And what if a title wave comes in... an asteroid falls ...a 10 day continues snow fall at a rate of 5 inches per hr.....that tree that hangs over your house suddenly falls....ALL we can do is live our lives the best we can...accidents happen...nature happens...BLESSINGS!!
Been over thousands of bridges in my life....itrational much?
You don’t need the bridge to open the port , clear the channel and open the port.
La Haina residents NEED HELP TOO!!
