The Baltimore Bridge in the United States was hit and collapsed in March, and overseas media broke the news, and it can be seen from the pictures at the scene that there was almost no progress, and only some workers were found at the scene, and they demolished it with their bare hands, which made the American people quite disappointed.
1. The time when the bridge in the United States was crashed
On the day of the incident, the container ship flying the Singapore flag broke anchor when passing the Baltimore Bridge in the United States, so that the container ship was out of control, and the crew had no way to leave or right, and then hit a pier of the bridge, due to the strong force, about 1/4 of the bridge collapsed directly into the water, and other places were also in a state of scrapping.
It's been a long time, as of April 1, some time ago, the 4 people who fell into the water and disappeared have still not been found, you must know that the week after the disappearance is the best time to find it, if it is more than a week, then the chance of finding it will become more and more slim.
Overseas media broke the news that local sources said that they are now trying to do everything possible to complete two things, one of which is to find the missing people, and then dismantle all the scrapped bridges, and then salvage 1/4 of the bridges that fell into the water and resume normal shipping.
However, there are many details in the pictures that have been revealed by overseas media that are really disappointing, and they do not look like the behavior of an industrial power at all.
The photos revealed by overseas media were taken in early April, and it can be seen from the photos that they are almost the same as the appearance of the incident at that time, the ship that hit the bridge pier is still parked in place, and there are many bridge structures scattered nearby, and the remaining 3/4 of the scrapped bridges have not changed at all.
The only difference from the day of the incident is that there are only a few temporary pontoon bridges, and then a few staff members are cutting, and the tools they use are only hand tools, which are very simple, hand-held cutting machines, and there are not many construction personnel.
Overseas media came out to explain: "The staff need a professional budget when cutting the bridge, if there are many staff, or use professional tools, it is very likely to affect the safety of the construction, and it is very likely that the collapsed steel frame will hit the construction personnel, and there is no way but to proceed slowly."
Second, the heat caused by the photo
After this set of photos broke the news, local netizens said: "According to this progress, it will take at least a year to clean up the collapsed bridge", indicating that it is a big country and an industrial country, and I don't know what the government thinks and why it is so slow.
There are some netizens who belong to professionals in the industry, and they think that such a project has a huge workload, and if it is only workers working with bare hands, it is obviously very unreasonable and the efficiency is particularly slow.
It's really like what netizens said, it will take at least a year, and you must know that it will take a year to resume shipping, which will have a great impact, of course, there is no way to run on the bridge, and the impact on the people is huge.
Professional analysis, in fact, want to be efficient, the method is particularly simple, is to set up a floating platform first, and then like a flat ground, using large circular saws and other heavy industrial equipment to dismantle, so that the speed will be fast, at least a week or so can clean up the remaining parts, do not need to use manual demolition, manual demolition safety is very poor and the efficiency is particularly low, this is a method that has no guarantee for staff.
It is worth noting that senior U.S. leaders have allocated $40 million for the bridge, but the $40 million is obviously not surprising to be cleaned up and repaired, and it is now estimated that at least $2 billion, equivalent to 14.3 billion US dollars, will be needed to rebuild the bridge.
Because of this incident, there was also infighting in the United States, and many Republican members united to attack Biden, believing that Biden should not bear such a responsibility and should not let the country suffer, but some netizens commented that if the United States does not take responsibility, when will the bridge be rebuilt.
epilogue
The United States is one of the powerful countries in the world, belongs to the industrial power, according to estimates, if you use large-scale industrial equipment, you can clean it up in about a week at most, and it is very fast to repeat the appearance of the previous bridge, but it needs funds, at this time, the United States, as a powerful country, can't even take out this bit of funds, which will surely make netizens particularly disappointed.
