The Key bridge, seen Friday from my window seat on approach to #BWI.
On my last day of work before retirement last year I took some photos in Baltimore. This one is from the 8th floor of the parking garage facing southeast toward the harbor. In the center is Orioles Park at Camden Yards and in the background is the Francis Scott Key Bridge which is no more. It collapsed March 26, 2024 after a cargo ship struck one of the piers.

The Dali is finally underway and headed for Norfolk. The crushed containers visible. The ship hit the #keybridge in March. Four of the original 21 crew had been on the ship from the beginning. They did not have shore passes or visas to enter the US. Four #tugboats accompanied them. Traffic was shut down for an hour on the #baybridge while the #ship passed under.

WBAL · Exclusive: Dali crew uncertain, anxious over future after bridge collapseDali crew members are uncertain, stressed and anxious over the future, according to a nonprofit organization that serves seafarers in Baltimore.
The cargo ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has been refloated and towed to port with the assistance of five tugboats. The ship, named The Dali, had been trapped under debris from the destroyed bridge since March, when the collapse killed six construction workers. CBS News has more on what’s next for the Dali and the bridge.

More than six weeks after the Key Bridge collision and collapse, M/V Dali remains trapped under the wreckage. The unified response team just revealed its plan for blowing up these segments. #Baltimore residents may get a small fireworks show this weekend.
(Page features computer-generated video simulation of the plan.)

I haven’t said much about the #keybridge collapse but I will say this: all this talk of making bridges able to withstand ship collisions is wrongheaded. What we should be focusing on is preventing ships going out of control. Had there been a couple tugs guiding that ship, or had they had a more robust power plant the crash would not have happened.
The things we take for granted…..

“We're excited to welcome back The Jonathan, which regularly delivers shipments of raw sugar to our Baltimore Refinery. The vessel was able to return to the Inner Harbor this morning using the new deeper 20-foot navigation channel”

This picture from the second to last press release from the Key Bridge Response 2024 Unified Command is just such a strange scale I had to share it:
"Response crews began removing shipping containers using a floating crane barge at the site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge on April 7, 2024. The Unified Command is continuing efforts in support of removing the M/V Dali, which is required to fully re-open the Fort McHenry Channel. (Key Bridge Response 2024 Unified Command photo.)"
