May 13. Using explosives to break up the section of the bridge resting on the ship. Normal speed Wide Shot, normal speed Close Up, slow motion Wide Shot.
On March 26, 2024, a container ship lost power and crashed into a main support for the Francis Scott Key Bridge, bringing down the bridge and blocking access to Baltimore's harbor. Six workers on the bridge died in the collapse. Efforts are underway to remove the wreckage and reopen the harbor channel.

Nice video. Thanks John.
What's that big chunk of what looks like concrete sitting on the bow? It looks like a piece of the bridge support, but it's sitting so square and level you wouldn't think it could have fallen there.

It is a chunk of the bridge support. It is nice and square because they cut it with the diamond wire saw you might have seen in the other video. Here is a closeup photo of it:

Thanks. I remember seeing the diamond wire saw in your prior video, but didn't understand what it was working on.
