  1. Multiple plumbing demo permits along the right of way on the future sunken portion IH69/59.
  2. Automakers General Motors and Ford will reroute shipments heading toward the Port of Baltimore as a result of the bridge collapse, according to multiple reports. The port is recognized as the most prominent port in the country dedicated to auto shipping. Last year, 847,158 cars and light trucks were shipped through the port, setting a record for the 13th straight year, Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D) said in a February press release." "We expect the situation to have minimal impact to our operations. We are working to re-route any vehicle shipments to other ports," GM said, according to Reuters. Similarly, Ford Chief Financial Officer John Lawler told Bloomberg TV that the collapse would also impact Ford operations. "We'll have to divert parts to other ports... It will probably lengthen the supply chain a bit," Lawler said. Ford has “already secured shipping alternatives," the company confirmed to Reuters. Moreover, Stellantis, the company that owns Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram, is pushing for “an uninterrupted flow of vehicles” as a result of the incident, according to The New York Times. Some automakers — including Toyota, Volkswagen Group of America, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Volvo Group — stated that they do not expect to face significant issues in the aftermath of the collapse for various reasons, according to Reuters. According to The New York Times, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and BMW also use the port. “The path to normalcy will not be easy,” Pete Buttigieg, the U.S. transportation secretary, said on the topic of rerouting, according to The New York Times. “It will not be quick, and it will not be inexpensive.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/baltimore-bridge-collapses-ship-crash-live-updates_n_6602c0dfe4b07e12857811fb
  3. A total of eight workers who were fixing potholes on the bridge fell into the Patapsco River below. Two people have since been rescued, officials said. https://news.yahoo.com/live/baltimore-key-bridge-collapse-live-updates-as-search-continues-for-6-missing-people-114855558.html
  4. News says there was a construction crew working on the bridge, if you look closely at the last video you can see the flashing lights just right of the middle portion of the bridge. Flashing lights were probably for a lane closure.

  6. Years after the project was first announced, Houston-based developer Satya Inc. has hired Ludlow & Associates as the general contractor and set a groundbreaking timeline for Tiara on the Beach. The project will be among the first new condo projects on Galveston Island in about 15 years, the Houston Chronicle reported in February 2022. Construction could take 24 to 30 months once it begins. Satya CEO Sunny Bathija told the Chronicle at the time that the building would draw inspiration from Miami beachfront condos, with floor-to-ceiling windows, concierge services, private wine storage, dog grooming, housekeeping services and an activities coordinator to plan things like yoga and water aerobics classes. The residences will range from 1,661 SF to 4,306 SF. https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/construction-development/galveston-gulf-front-mid-rise-condo-construction-set-for-this-summer-123514
  7. I wonder why there weren't any tugs attached to it or near it in order to assist it during transit? I'm pretty sure that oil, chemical tankers coming in to the port of Houston have to have at least 2 tugs during it's travel up the ship channel, other ships don't require any until docking.
  8. You can see the ship lost electrical power several times before it hit the bridge, this video is sped up.
  9. Architects - https://jensen-jensen.com These architects have a bunch of Portillo's in their portfolio.
  10. I saw that the little pocket park above the stormwater detention vault will be a tiny soccer field.
  11. The butterfly mural by mural artist https://www.instagram.com/mantrarea/
