Also, we need to make a much bigger deal about the supply chain fuckery this is going to lead to. With the Panama canal water levels being too low for it to run properly, and the attacks in the Red Sea semi-paralysing the Suez, this has added to pressures on international chains.

The port of Baltimore is a major hub for transporting goods. This is going to massively increase pressure on other ports on the East coast - assuming they even have the facilities to deal with all of the materials the Baltimore port would normally work with. If your stuff is being imported to non-baltimore ports, it will still be affected because of the fallout.

Supply chain managers do a lot of problem solving but this is not a tiny blip, this is a major disruption and with several chains STILL struggling the lingering effects from covid (be they because people left the industry, lockdowns or closed boarders preventing trade at the time), this is going to have huge ramification across the entirety of the US, and will likely have effects on other continents too as exports from Baltimore have to be moved to other places to be shipped away!

The harbour is shut, every single thing in the harbour ready for export will need to be moved somewhere else to be exported which adds to other port pressures. Any shop heading into the port has to be diverted - and Ships Are Not Fast. This is a really, really, huge deal

There is some pretty shocking footage out there of the Baltimore bridge collapse early this morning. I've already seen some incredibly wrong, incredibly insensitive Hot Takes about how shitty the bridge was to have fallen after being bonked by a boat, etc

Please don't be that person.

The facts will come out. Speculation is silly. In addition to loss of life, the Francis Scott Key bridge was a major arterial in that region's highway system. Its loss will be felt for years, and not just to daily commuters.

Baltimore harbor is closed. No shipping at all. This will impact supply chains in ways we cannot even assess yet.

It's pretty fucked up.
