Massive cleanup underway in Baltimore following bridge collapse
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 мар 2024
- The largest crane on the Eastern Seaboard was being transported to Baltimore so crews on Friday can begin removing the wreckage of a collapsed highway bridge that has halted a search for four workers still missing days after the disaster and blocked the city's vital port from operating.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said the crane, which was arriving by barge and can lift up to 1,000 tons, will be one of at least two used to clear the channel of the twisted metal and concrete remains of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, and the cargo ship that hit it this week.
"The best minds in the world" are working on the plans for removal, Moore said. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Baltimore District told the governor that it and the Navy were mobilizing major resources from around the country at record speed to clear the channel.
"This is not just about Maryland," Moore said. "This is about the nation's economy. The port handles more cars and more farm equipment than any other port in America."
He warned of a long road to recovery but said he was grateful to the Biden administration for approving $60 million in immediate aid. President Joe Biden has said the federal government will pay the full cost of rebuilding the bridge.
"This work is not going to take hours. This work is not going to take days. This work is not going to take weeks," Moore said. "We have a very long road ahead of us."
Thirty-two members of the Army Corps of Engineers were surveying the scene of the collapse and 38 Navy contractors were working on the salvage operation, officials said Thursday.
The devastation left behind after the cargo ship lost power and struck a support pillar early Tuesday is extensive. Divers recovered the bodies of two men from a pickup truck in the Patapsco River near the bridge's middle span Wednesday, but officials said they have to start clearing the wreckage before anyone can reach the bodies of four other missing workers.
State police have said that based on sonar scans, the vehicles appear to be encased in a "superstructure" of concrete and other debris.

I live off the first exit from the Key Bridge. Whenever I was coming home from somewhere and I finally got to the bridge it meant I was almost home and I loved it for that. I still can't believe she's gone.
I could see it across the water from my house. On a clear day you could see the cars crossing. Devastating
How long is the reroute?
@MuvaaLandd459 Although I drove over the bridge daily for 9 years, I now work closer to home. My coworkers are reporting that their commutes are taking an extra 45 minutes to an hour longer than before.
@@MuvaaLandd459a good 50 miles with Put it this way the people having to take alt. Routes it will take a good extra 2 hrs to get to the port side of Dundalk Sparrows point area

lol I love how field reporters just ignore the anchor's questions and just say what they want to say.
the anchors don't care, they're just reading the teleprompter. Once the control room goes to the field anchor, they usually start texting a friend, chat amongst themselves, run to the bathroom, etc.
@@wisdomcb
lol, yup, they're just teleprompter readers
Thanks to the police for quickly closing the bridge to car traffic as they heard the ship was coming out of control.
This was planned and the officers rejected the memo to leave the bridge open, and closed it anyways. Ship makes MayDay call 3 mins b4 impact at the 6 mins make they were to close to the bridge. THIS WAS PLANNED right down to the min. If you look at the ship it HAS POWER RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK. Explain that it loses power 3 mins before impact but has POWER NOW.

Prayers for the families
Rip guys. God bless you all.
This is definitely going to affect the economy. Not only all who traveled this bridge for work, but everyone 😓
Yup. No biggy our economy is robust under the biden regime.
"Obviously, no cars in sight today..."
Brilliant observation! 😂
😂😂😂
Obviously not a car in sight today. Uh Duh
They're bringing in 1100 engineers,
and maybe even a couple laborers.
90%of ships entering and exiting the bay have as little as 12ft clearance from the bottom, so the recovery will have a hard time making sure no future ships scrape any debris left behind.
@user-lm1li8eo1r ugh... who told me? The news did. I watched the news. These cargo shops are massive, and their displacement, when loaded, leaves the vast majority of cargo ships with as little as 12 ft of clearance. Before you JAM a shoe in your mouth, you really should take 4 seconds to Google something you dolt.
Thankfully I didn't travel on that bridge. Not too sure it was built too well to begin with. Prayers for the families.
Who is footing this bill? I hope the shipping company.
Even if the company pays for some of this, it will be years before the payout happens. Do you want tax payer dollars spent on this now, or do you want the wreckage to just sit there?
Oh no it's another opportunity for the WH to throw more money into the wind...they love it..its the goal
Sit there
The red tape process should be expedited. It has been before they just don’t want a crisis to go to waste, or an opportunity to take taxpayer money
Since the bill is going to be well into the billions, I seriously doubt that the shipping company has adequate insurance and assets to cover all the damages. Sure, we should recover everything from them that we can, but we're likely well into "getting blood out of a turnip" territory here. And litigation is likely to drag on for years. We can't afford to wait for that process to play out to get the port reopened and the bridge replaced.
What about a temporary ferry service? Sure it would be limited but it would be something.
Or can't Army Corps of Engineers get a floating bridge up fast? If it can hold tanks and huge army trucks it should be able to take cars and semis.
Excellent report 👌
I Retired at the end of 2022 after 50 years working at almost every port facility in Baltimore, When the Key Bridge was built in the mid 70's ships were nowhere near the size they are now. Containers were fairly new and pure container ships like this were not yet around. These ships now are many times the size ships were then. What are we supposed to do? Tear down and rebuild every bridge every 50 years?
Hang in there Baltimore! I am so sorry your all are having to deal with this! BALTIMORE STRONG! love to you all

What does Baltimore export ? Why is this bridge referred to as the only bridge in town hazardous waste can be taken out on ?
It's a port. It exports everything. And why do you care about local bridge regulation? Some conspiracy nonsense.
Try to act like human beings some of you. Those are innocent people suffering from this, finding it hard to get to their jobs, losing time better spent with families, their employers suffering harm as well and the impact spreading. I have never asked how the people suffering from a disaster vote. Some people though have no heart at all and that is also a tragedy.
You say "act like human beings" then talk about financial losses. like a robot. People died. "But think about how much money rich people are losing" you say
Looks like the electric poles had better protection than the bridge piers!
Hopefully they will get everything sorted out and this will become a distant memory. 😮
Good thing the bridge was insured and the boat has damage insurance. No reason for taxpayer dollars to be involved
Whos the guy running the ship?
So what has the ship’s company offered up for damages?
Fried rice
Looks like the power poles were protected by big barriers but the bridge wasn't.
Must be a federal roadway. They are the negligent ones.
Notice how the anti-collision bumpers around the power poles are much bigger than around the bridge pilings. In fact, the second set of bridge pilings are completely unprotected against ship collisions. In addition, the bridge was so poorly designed that taking down one piling destroyed the entire bridge instead of just the sections impacted. I only hope they don't hire the same company to design the new bridge. An errant ship if forgivable, but not a defective bridge design. Prayers go out to the good people impacted by this entirely preventable disaster.
How old is the bridge? It was described as “iconic” which I’d assume means old. Meantime the port and the size of the ships have increased many fold.
Some of the bridge needs to be inspected
What can't the people that own the cargo ship take care of the family's and the bridge because it the captain of the ship is responsible for what happens when he's driving where he tried to go under the bridge look like he's was in the wrong spot to go under the bridge my condolences go out to all the family's and friends that loss their life and the city of Baltimore GOD bless them all Amen 🙏.

Massive clean-up? Really? Darn, I thought it would be a Small clean-up...
😂😅😂
Is that the Crimea bridge?
It’s in Baltimore!
Keep up
Explain why the were paying for this? If I'm in an accident I pay. So why isn't the shipping company liable?
Your car isn't vital to the national economy. This bridge and shipping way are. The federal government has an interest in getting the shipping way and bridge back to normal as fast as possible. If the shipping company is found to have been grossly negligent, you can bet they're gonna be ordered to reimburse the government.
Every time I pass on the Vincent Thomas bridge in San Pedro (Los Angeles harbor) I get really nervous !this is sad to know there still people underwater drown and yes dead 😢

Nope. Ol Joe already said taxpayers are covering it. Like within 24 hrs of it happening.
Instand? An investigation is just that. You ignorant people really are clueless how the real world works.
@@user-po3ey4zl2o Thanks Russkie.
@@cinder-nu3pk that company is only one of two that controls global shipping
Why hasn't fox news interviewed the senior harbor pilot aboard the Dali at the time of the crash?
To fix that bridge will not take months 😂 probably years
It’s election year. That will be up really soon.
They said up to 10 years!
AT LEAST WE ARE GOING INTO WARM WEATHER #2) I BELIEVE THE WATER THE BRIDGE STANDS IN IS AROUND 50 FEET ?
This is not a taxpayer responsibility.
Insurance companys of that ship have to pay. Not taxpayers ......
Yeah please don’t let any pollution into the pristine waters there😂
Where's the Investigation.
They said the investigation will take 2 years
Funny, I just noticed that the Electrical line poles are better protected than the bridge supports are/were…. That is sad.
Electrical lines must bemore protected to prevent electrocution
The new name will be the RAINBOW BRIDGE LOVE
Who’s the ONE boss? What are his qualifications?
Que destrucción!!
It would have been a good investment to upgrade the bridge with fenders around the pylons as container Ship grew in size by a factor of 10 since it was built. A similar accident happened in Florida in 1980 and a lot of older bridges around the country have been upgraded since the accident. Not good planning to defy Murphy's law.
* Who was steering the ship approaching the port? A local, or the ship's own captains?
* Where were the tug boats?
* MEDIA had reported about sonar detecting multiple automobiles in the water. Was it factual?
As has been reported, the ship was under control of a local, licensed, harbor pilot.
As has been reported, the tug boats had withdrawn from the ship after pulling it away from the dock, and could not get back in time,
The media is repeating official reports of sonar detected vehicles, some entangled with the bridge debris, consistent with the videos showing that only the construction vehivles were on the bridge when it went down.
So what is keeping you from recognizing all this?
As reported by a media house at Mar 28, 2024, 5:07 AM PDT: The Baltimore bridge cargo ship asked nearby tugboats for help just before it crashed. It was too late.
So no one is going to blame the company that owns the ship?
when the ship had power was going the wrong way Yes or No?
Outgoing ship, lost power, strong tide pushed huge ship, inertia, mass hit bridge
Gonna need more than 1 crane to get that mess out of water anytime soon to get millions of goods an thousands of jobs going again. Be interesting to see how 1 crane how long an fast it can get that mess cut an lifted on to scrap barges.
I thought that too but I think at this point they are still looking for the missing bodies underwater so it isn't big time removal time yet.
Where did it say they're only gonna use one crane? I missed that part.
Saying you're going to bring in the largest crane on the eastern seaboard doesn't mean you're not going to use other cranes as well.
@@toddsmith8608there is only 1 crane on the video doing work
@@toddsmith8608Exactly. I heard the second crane is also on its way.
So when are we going to clean up our Southern border?
Maybe her sister ship that went first can be brought back empty and help.
Have they said who the pilot was?
It was a harbor pilot from Maryland who takes ships out of the port on a regular basis.
So in other words, you have no idea either. Thanks for being captain obvious.
Wow as if the cranes were on standby they started coming in to out harbor YESTERDAY
Was the guy navigating that cargo ship ,im sure he was a truck driver!!!
So was Biden.
They can try to reweld existing bridge structures or send the steel to the Mexican border and use it to build the wall.
No, there is other recycled steel closer to Texas, but at least you are trying. No you can't reweld what has gone bad, you can reinforce some parts that did not fall that might though have had some damage.
@@wolfgang757 But you know the Government ain't just gonna build another bridge. They're gonna build a work of art with a price tag that could've built a border wall completely around the country made of concrete and gold.
What, you didn’t get it paid for by Mexico like someone promised?
Some employees aren't very responsible
Guarantee it was the company not doing maintenance
thats alot of engineers
Wow that was the fastest investigation ever. It’s like they already knew what happened 🙄
Right on cue, here come the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists…🤦🏽♀️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾
And maybe they didn't.
...but maybe they did.
Conspiracy Denier! 😂
The investigation will continue for years most likely.

@Macarena22279 look at the facts watch the video and see the 3 controlled blasts also how did the person on the bank of the river know to film the bridge starting before the ship came???
And the moon is made of cheese.. true story!
Why don’t we let the insurance companies do an investigation?
THANK goodness Congress passed that trillion dollar infrastructure bill a couple years ago, should be plenty of money to get this bridge up and running. 2 billion out if a trillions shouldn't be an issue and Biden shouldn't have to ask for money for this project.
BLAH BLAH....
WHO TURNED OFF THE SHIP..😮
need a ferry, eh instead of paying the salary of those affected.
🎉🎉🎉🎉why was the bridge not inspected?Excuse me Moore...Scott..why did this happen. I know the truth.Dont u owe that much to the people.🎉
A cargo ship hit it. It didn't just fall over. Do you know how big cargo ships are?
It'll be a long time for a rebuild of lives and jobs. The smartest and best minds will have to be patient and go back to common sense thinking to deal with the issues at hand in this tragedy.
China would have this bridge replaced in a week.
Made of noodles
They are trying to find evidence linking the disaster to China?????😂😂😂

$10,000,000,000.00 To Ukraine 😂 What a Joke!
Plus 10% for the big guy.
hamas dug a tunnel into the ship and made it crash
Ship was ordered from wish
A quick cover up without investigation, but we know, can't hide
Cover up of what?
Who said there was no investigation? Multiple agencies will be involved and it will go on for years most likely.
Send the bill to Singapore and their friends in Ghina
In fact, Singapore is supported by the USA, not by China
All crews are Indians. Ship was built by Korea. Goods from US to Sri Lanka.

Someone please tell me how could this be an accident. With all the technology available on these 🚢 ships, how could this happen. It would not. In a little while, some of the players will come forward and tell the truth.
