(45,621 posts)Nothing, absolutely nothing can be changed in the processes, policies, regulations, or laws that can stop a container ship from ramming a bridge if it is determined to do so. The people who died or were wounded have to simply pay the price of freedom because this is America. The right to keep and ship containers is in our constitution. What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand? The only solution to this problem is for Congress to appropriate funding for every bridge to be guarded by container ships. A container shipped society is a polite society. - the container ship industry lobbyists, or National Container Ship Association
Sailors have been as diverse as sailing itself. Ship workers have been diverse long before USA was a country.
I have not seen a single politician or talking head say the solution to this problem is thoughts and prayers or more ships. Or for kids to do their bridging and shipping at home.
