I totally agree with most part of your comment Sir, just that crippled is not true. The largest port onward the bridge comes at bottom on top 10 ports of USA. There are many larger ports in east coast itself. The car import and export can be moved to most ports on the east coast. Those just RORO. Yes few of the farm equipment have local assembly which have impact. But no, US is not crippled.

Don't you think the responsible parties will be paying? Have you ever had an insurance claim? Did they cut you a check the day after your loss? As an example, in a car accident, you get a rental until the claim is settled. There is no temporary fix. The port needs to be open. In this case, every day the port is closed, billions of dollars are being lost. Do you want to wait for the insurance company to assess the damage and pay up or get moving ASAP to open the port?

@K.R.I.P.A.C • The vessel lost power, so started to drift out of the channel toward the pylons. The vessel deployed at least its port anchor to try to slow down. The channel "what's going on with shipping" has done some very good videos on this incident. In one, Sal marries the live stream of the harbor cam with the overhead of the ships AIS passage through the harbor. You may want to check it out because whoever posited an explosion isn't very knowledgeable about the speed & mass of vessels and bridge structures.
