No no no. Back the truck up. I was told here on INGO, wait, this very thread, this was nothing but an accident, nothing to see here....

The two aren't mutually exclusive. An incident can be both not an intentional act (including terrorism) and also an accident that incurs criminal liability.

Just saw an update on the port, it remains closed while terminals are operational. Carriers are advising it'll remain closed for 3-6 months.

Most shipments are being diverted to NY and Norfolk, although Norfolk is struggling with the increased volume.

And lifting the bridge deck off of the MV Dali seems to be the next big step.
