However, in Baltimore, there is no land access to the collapse site. In Minneapolis, the river is narrow enough to enable operations from shore. That is a huge difference, especially in the process of removing the wreckage. It's very, very difficult to do heavy lifts like that from the water. That's going to be a huge delaying issue in getting that shipping channel opened back up.
