Following the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge due to a wayward cargo ship nearly three weeks ago, salvage crews are diligently working to remove the wreckage from the waterway. The operation involves the use of the largest crane on the Eastern Seaboard to lift heavy sections of the bridge, some weighing up to 450 tons.
Workers at the salvage yard are employing propane torches and giant shears to disassemble the metal trusses, making them more manageable for removal. The Chesapeake 1000, a renowned floating crane, is playing a crucial role in the salvage efforts.
