Man this is going to fuck shit up for a whole bunch of reasons:

  • the obvious loss of life.

  • the clean up will take a very long time and during that time nothing will be able to get in or out of the harbor. All those ships in the harbor stuck. All the ships in the Chesapeake Bay will need to be rerouted to Philly, NYC, or Charleston.

  • traffic in the tunnels will be even more congested for years until a replacement bridge can be built.
