"Race Against Time: Clearing the Key Bridge Collapse in Baltimore"
TL;DR
Salvage crews are using a massive crane to remove wreckage from the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, with the heaviest section weighing 450 tons. The operation aims to recover the remaining bodies, open a temporary channel for commercial traffic, and reopen the Port of Baltimore's main channel by the end of May. The salvage work is complex and dangerous, involving underwater surveys and careful dismantling, while also addressing the dynamic hazard posed by the cargo ship Dali.
