Ship should have been name the S.S. James Franklin since that ship did about as well as Franklin's season at PSU.

So true - and we wonder why the deficit is where it's at - Government is never is able to get anything done anywhere near the "budgeted" cost and time - what a joke.
They outsourced the bidding oversight to the PSU BOT

Sheesh..... talk about a "For want of a nail" situation.
The updated cost estimates don't appear to be some type of conspiracy, or MD officials looking for Tiffany-type parts. The original estimate was simply a quick, ballpark figure, that was provided in large part to start the process of qualifying for the Federal grant. The most recent cost estimate seems to be a combination of more accurate details being used in terms of what is required, the need to install a pier protection system to avoid a repeat of this incident, as well as the costs of materials, which are substantially higher in all areas of construction over the past several years.

Maryland's Transportation Authority pointed to drastically higher construction costs as the main reason behind the updated estimate.

it is somewhat startling that the entire problem, and the crash into the bridge, can be traced to such a simple mistake. NTSB investigations are always of interest to me, as they get down into the nitty gritty, and provide answers (often, like in this case, that weren't speculated by any of the experts at the time), to the question of what actually caused the incident.
And 2030 is a long way out yet. Wild to think how long that bridge has been down for and when it's replacement will be finishedThe updated cost estimates don't appear to be some type of conspiracy, or MD officials looking for Tiffany-type parts.

I do not know. The Fedetal and State govt's should be suing to collect a large sum from the shipping or insurance companies.
Yes the shipping company should pay for every penny for the rebuild of the bridge
It's a Singaporean ship carrying Chinese exports - guarantee you that Chinese Sovereign Equity own a large portion of the equity of the companies responsible. IOW, good luck collecting.
We used to make s*** in this country, build s***. Now we just put our hand in the next guy's pocket.
The "What's Going On With Shipping?" channel has a good summary of the latest info. Sounds like the ship & the company were doing a lot of shady things.

I have watched some episodes of plane crash investigations, and I agree regarding the NTSB. They do a top notch job in diagnosing why accidents happen. Often with wreckage that is in many pieces. And it is shocking how many accidents are from the simplest of errors or malfunctions.

I watched video of that. Pretty horrific crash. At least it wasnt a passenger jet.
