Wreckage and clean-up operations at destroyed Baltimore bridge | AFP

Destruction and demolition crews work on clean-up operations of the Francis Scott Key bridge, which collapsed when the Dali cargo vessel lost power and struck it on March 26 , killing six people. Authorities hope that removing the bridge -- by cutting it into smaller sections and lifting them out -- will help rescuers recover all the victims' bodies as well as reopen the crucial shipping lane.

Fantastic video showing the scale of the damage of this deep tragedy. Thank you

The first few seconds of this video are so revealing. The bridge just took a massive chunk out of the cargo ship.

AFP News Agency, This is fantastic! I subscribed because I love it!

That's what i want to see more of. The actual details of the hardware involved and its removal. And less political posturing and less drama over six dead workers.

Funny how the cost of bridge fenders doesn't seem so expensive now.

Too bad. Such a catastrophic tragedy that was 100% preventable in more ways then a few. Prayers to the families of lost loved ones.

20 people on stage talking about it and 2 guys out cutting the bridge up.

The bridge portion that's on the ship partially out of the water. Could you partially flood a larger barge and slip it under flood it more for rigging to barge and refloat with help of crane and move whole section once barge pumped out. Maybe the large airbags too.

What happen with the cars that went down with the brige

[defhoez]

Just imagine how bad this would have been (6 is still bad enough) if this happened during rush hour traffic?
Kinda reminds me of the Nimitz Freeway collapse during the earthquake of '89 during the World Series in San Francisco...thousands of people were either at the game or had called "sick" to work and stayed home....had their not been a World Series that day @ 5:04pm, hundreds or more would have been crushed to death.

Прекрасная работа капитана! Работайте братья на территории СГА!)

[nunyabuziness]

Them bodies got to look pretty bad by now

[brianhummel]

The ship company better be paying for this and not the tax dollars...

[goedelite]

I am full of the reports on the bridge. I want to know what on the Dali caused the power failures? Why the HexL should it take the NTSB 2 Damx'd years, as it claims to tell the public what and/or who caused the power failures? Why was the Captain not held as a material witness, instead of allowing him to leave the US? This stinks!

I kept thinking of what Pearl Harbor looked like after it was attacked.

Salvador Dali has a paint named The Broken Bridge and the Dream coincidence ?

Как корабль назовёшь, так он и поплывёт.

Понастроили мостов, кораблям не пройти
