Aside from the unimaginable losses, here is what I’m curious about.

1. How are they going to remove the old bridge debris? I know there are barge cranes enroute but they can’t lift an entire bridge section.

1a. How do they cut the bridge sections into liftable segments without shock loading the crane?

1b. How do they get a man into position to cut the bridge sections? Is this torch work or some crane mounted ‘jaws of life’ type pincer machine?

2. How do they get the barges to the bridge and keep them there? Presumably they would set the anchors upstream and the barges would be positioned downstream where the bridge debris is. Likely they would triangulate the anchors to prevent side shifting. It seems like the barges need to be upstream of the bridge but they can’t get there… yet.

3. It appears to me that some sea cans fell from the Dali. How do they deal with that and the contents?

4. Will there be criminal charges against the captain or pilots? 6 people died.

5. How many ships are stranded in Baltimore right now? Who pays for this?

6. If they have to unload Dali partially before they move it, how do they do this?

7. How deep is the water there? Is Dali aground? Is there risk of it sinking there?

8. Is it time to buy Maersk stock?
