#Baltimore #Bridge #BridgeCollapse
Interesting way to remove the rest of the bridge.
Rather than remove the bridge as a whole, freeing the ship, according to the video. The remaining pieces of bridge (at least, the larger ones that fell to the bottom) still would need to be fished out if they are in a position to damage ships.
A port with steel bars pointing up in its entrance is likely not quite safe.
Has anyone gone onboard the Dolly and checked on the crew?
Considering that from the beginning it was said that the crew was alright, that footage showed authorities boarding it to start the investigation about how on Earth the ship hit the bridge, and that this video mentions that the crew sorely need to carry on with their jobs and lives – it appears that yes, several people have checked on the crew. Even more when there was (is) a possibility of the crew hitting the bridge by mistake or negligence.
(By the way, the ship’s name is Dali.)
4/10 no jet fuel
He kept calling the cargo ship a shipping container. 😅
If this was China, the bridge would already have been repaired.
United Snails of America, what a fast service.
