Baltimore Bridge Debris Blasted on Dali Cargo Ship

Debris from the collapsed Key Bridge in Baltimore was exploded May 13 to free the cargo ship underneath the wreckage.
To watch the precision blast of the section of the bridge’s steel truss on the ship Dali, check out the video clips above shot by U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 3rd Class Jackson Henderson and Christopher Rosario, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
After the May 13 blast, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Baltimore District plans to float the ship back to port over the next couple of days on a high tide. The crew on the ship sheltered in place during the precision blasting and will return to port with the ship.
Crews strategically placed multiple small explosives in incisions in the debris.
After that, the corps will focus on removing the rest of the debris from the 700-foot-wide, 50-foot-deep channel. It estimated that 50,000 tons of debris fell into the river, blocking the channel.
About 6,000 tons have been removed as of May 12. Alternative temporary channels have been opened for limited traffic. Full reopening is still planned by May 31.

the slow motion at 1:47 looked like the same type of explosion as when the vessel first hit the bridge
