Daily on Defense: Army Corps races to reopen Baltimore port, White House rolls out AI rules, Houthis target US warship
The Port of Baltimore is one of the busiest on the East Coast, with between $100 million and $200 million in cargo moving through the port every day. There are 10 cargo ships trapped by the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge on Wednesday and 8,000 dock and other workers idled representing about $2 million in wages. So the race is on to reopen the port to minimize disruption to global supply lines.
“We have a very specialized hazmat team onboard,” Gautier said. “And we have air monitoring them — there to detect if there are anything that are coming off of those containers. … Most of these things are things like mineral oils, and even though they’re hazardous, we’ve determined that there really isn’t any kind of threat to the public.”
The Francis Scott Key Bridge opened in 1977, and there have been some changes in bridge design since then. The National Transportation Safety Board is in charge of determining if there are design changes required to prevent a repeat disaster. “Our country put its arms around Florida when the Sunshine Skyway Bridge collapsed in 1980. America rallied around Minnesota after the bridge there collapsed in 2007,” Buttigieg said. “This will be a long and difficult path. But we will come together around Baltimore, and we will rebuild together.”. If signing up doesn’t work, shoot us an email and we’ll add you to our list.
