Honestly - they should be asking the SeaBees for help as clearing this is WELL within their wheelhouse of skills.
Exactly, get the harbor opened back up, asap.
Had this have happened in China the lanes would most likely be open by Monday[at the latest].
I assume tho - we're operating a little slower to recover bodies. China wouldn't, they'd dynamite the thing and go. I get that. But you ARE talking about tons of metal, debris in what, 45 feet of water and a monster current. Plus it's not like that debris and metal is there like legos and will come apart easily. It's a pile of work for sure.

Funny, on our siblings text string this morning one of them mentioned some Navy vessels stuck because of the wreck and how they can't get out. I mentioned that if the Navy wanted them out, they'd be out within a week.
Seabees or private contractors, wouldn't matter. Teal is likely on to something there with our societal norms requiring the dead be located first. Other societies might say F it, lets get this harbor open again.
