Cargo ship involved in Baltimore bridge collapse heads to Norfolk for repair 

@oldguydoesstuff120 You don't seriously expect the news media to be literate do you, my brother? Why the worst "journalists" end up reporting news has long been a mystery to me. Complete clown act; their job is to sell advertising, not tell the truth, or heaven forbid, create something easy to listen to or read.

Came here to say the same!

It worked . You're here .

They could have used the present simple or present continuous tense here with a modifier (e.g. 'the ship heads to Norfolk in 5 weeks' or 'the ship is heading to Norfolk in 5 weeks'), but the use of the present simple without the modifier is misleading, as it implies the action is actually happening right now.

@@neilreid9005 I'm an old guy. I remember when journalists actually knew how to compose a sentence on their own. Heck, in high school I had English teachers make us read newspapers to find examples of some bit of grammar. This headline would never have made it past an editor back then.

We all know the bridge has collapsed 8 weeks ago but the boat is sailing again

@@dillonwood3096 it’s been 8 weeks until it was moved to dock. It will still be in Baltimore for 4-6 additional weeks to remove the rest of the debris. Clickbait title is a lie.

Guns, drugs, stolen items of value. You name it and its on that ship somewhere.

this is all on the captain who should have been arrested and charged its his fault

@@lutomson3496 right like you know if and when a circuit breaker in your house or car will trip.

My starter and fuel pump went out at same time once

But my car doesn't float.

@@lutomson3496 While they were docked the crew member closed the exhaust port. There was a dock worker that talked about the issues they had due that mishap. Before they got underway they switched to another set of breakers, probably thinking the ones they had been using may have suffered some damage. It was that alternate set of breakers that tripped. You should watch esysman, Timbatsea, whattheship, jeffostroff, and minorcanmullet. All good channels that give good information. Also, incomplete or inaccurate information sometimes gets put out in breaking stories like this, so you have to keep checking back to see if there are updates.

The cargo will be loaded onto another carrier for delivery. Of course the damaged items will be handled as needed. Salvage workers are not customs officials. Most likely there are illegal goods in some of the containers. There is a chance some will be intercepted by customs when they are delivered.

Totally agree... Standing there with the podium and flanked, so officially, by four others, in my opinion looks absolutely ridiculous,.....

they will be off loaded there in baltimore.

Every container should be checked.

They will be put in a shelter, hopefully to be adopted by some deserving, loving families.

General Average - the shippers have to share in the cost of recovery - just as the shipper- no pay, no get cargo. much of the cargo will be held-up until the point of being worthless - the rest will be sold for pennies on the dollar by the courts (or stolen by organized crime in the meantime)...

@@__hjg__2123 "sold for pennies on the dollar by courts (or stolen by organized crime.....etc.) You're repeating yourself.

Like you could do better? Please....

He thinks that he is projecting authority .

@@stewatparkpark2933 Perhaps trying to bolster his self-perceived shaky legitimacy at the same time? Either way it looks like weakness to me. I am fascinated how seemingly the local-yokel is in ascendance -or is it just that the opportunity for self-exposure is greater nowadays?

I believe the man is running for office. He always has a line-up of "very important people" flanking him on both sides, and he always has syrupy platitudes, and he is always very dramatically giving a speech. He doesn't need that stupid podium either. All very theatrical, very formal, very absurd. He reminds me of the actions of Douglas MacArthur....always a parade.

Shippers are routing and re-routing vessels to handle the Far East overflow/ consignments. *ironically some of these ships are larger than MV DALI. ref: Lloyds Register. They drag bottom at 50', which is a common occurrence worldwide.

100 percent. Heads would roll. Could be the start of doing things in a legal fashion. Sorry, what was I thinking.

READ THE TITLE.

150 nm. Yes they will clean it and patch any loose items. The shipyard in Norfolk would do the final repairs. Not uncommon for a damage ship sail to a port that can handle big repairs.

It’s was stuck and is blocking the port where imports and exports come in, and there’s a back log of ships wanting to enter the port but can’t

There have been some very qualified investigators as well as reps from the equipment manufacturer looking at things trying to determine what caused the failure.

They need a bridge for hazmats and over sized loads to be brought in and out of the city.

Do you realize how expensive and time consuming tunneling under a body of water is? The bridge is the best option. It's the architect job to make it visually pleasing so hopefully they choose wisely there.

Besides there is a tunnel 4 to 6 km up the harbour.

That's AI for you.

Doesn’t require AI. This’d probably be how it would’ve appeared 15 years ago. There would have been a person that types phonetically on a stenographer’s keyboard, and a computer automatically translates that into English. Since Dali and Dolly sound pretty much the same the computer is going to go with Dolly, especially since that is an actual word and not a proper noun.

The COVERUP Has STARTED Give it a few more weeks and no one will even remember the ship.

Momentum did it .

​So arrest Newton !!!
