Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore...
Those underwater images seem to show the structure to be mostly intact. I wonder if that makes it easier to be able to remove?A second temporary channel has now been opened in the waters around the wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, to get trade and movement of goods in and out of the port back up and running.
The first temporary shipping route opened on Monday, with Captain David O’Connell describing it as “an important first step along the road to reopening the port of Baltimore”.
Officials said the second route for deeper vessels launched on Tuesday, with a third channel for larger vessels planned for the coming days.
New underwater images were released by the US Navy on Tuesday, capturing the wreckage deep in the Patapsco River.
This comes as the Dali ship’s owners have denied all responsibility for the deadly crash and seek a cap of $43.7m for any lawsuit payouts.
In a court filing, the ship’s owner Grace Ocean Private Limited and operator Synergy Marine PTE denied fault or neglect over the collapse that killed six construction workers: “[It] was not due to any fault, neglect, or want of care on the part of [ship owner & operator], the Vessel, or any persons or entities for whose acts [ship owner & operator] may be responsible.”............
