And it takes a national government organization senior investigator to read a manifest and copy info on container contents...so simple a 5th grader could do it.
It looks like the vast majority of the cargo is intact. Hopefully they will quickly dock the container ship, go through the manifest and contain any leaks. They need to drag enough of the bridge away asap to create a channel for shipping.
"A senior hazmat investigator with the agency determined that '764 tons of hazardous materials', which includes corrosives, lithium ion batteries and flammables, now threatens the water surrounding the downed bridge.
Some of the containers 'were breached,' said Homendy, noting that a sheen of hazardous material could be seen on the waterway.
The exact number of breached containers should be available in a preliminary report, which will be ready in two-to-four weeks.”

How disgusting
