A lot of us older gamers started on this system. Once my parents figured out they could give us an Atari, go out and party while leaving us at home, and we would still be sitting in front of the TV when they got home it was game on after that.

The original FASFA form was a complete joke anyway. It’s hard to imagine it being worse. My favorite was having it pull my previous year tax return from the IRS and then immediately have me manually fill in the info again.

Yeah they won’t get by, in bound traffic will reroute to Norfolk, Philadelphia and NY until a plan is in place. I would guess they have the channel open in 2 weeks or less.
The Left Coast Lifter is in NY and can be on site in about 24-30 hours depending on currents going up Delaware Bay. It can make picks up to approx 1,600 tons, it would laugh at what the Key bridge weighs.
It won’t come out in one piece, but it can come out in much larger pieces with a big crane. This one specifically was used to build bridges and put in far larger sections than this job would require. Smaller crane barges will work on the smaller pieces simultaneously. They’ll clear half the channel (most likely the section away from the Dali) and open it to one-way traffic while they continue clean up.
The first one is usually worth more. In an odd addendum, my kids are in their 20s and my wife found a “serial killer” amount of baby teeth is a dresser drawer. We’re not sure what to do with them.
