Jeff Ostoff shows you the latest updates on the engineering disaster aftermath of the MV Dali ship striking the Francis Scott Key Bridge causing the bridge collapse in Baltimore, Md. on the Patapsco River. The video also shows some design concepts for the new Key Bridge to replace the old Francis Scott Key Bridge. You'll also see the incredible new massive underwater hydraulic claw in operation, dredging up massive sections of bridge debris of the now re-closed channel. They closed this limited access channel on April 29, 2024, after the first ships to pass through the new limited access channel, a deepwater 300 ft wide, and a 35-foot deep access channel for larger ships, the first time since the MV Dali collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD on March 26, 2024. You'll see progress so far in this Baltimore bridge collapse.

They barge the bridge collapsed bridge debris to the new 10-acre laydown yard used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to process wreckage from the Francis Scott Key Bridge site. An estimated 50,000 tons of concrete and steel collapsed; once removed, the wreckage is sorted and transported two miles away by barge to Sparrows Point. Debris and wreckage removal is ongoing in support of a top priority to safely and efficiently open the Fort McHenry ch

    Breaking news of the day is that the last worker was recovered.

    they used a diamond wire saw to cut the bridge support. The drive unit can be seen on the deck of the Dali in that image, right above the concrete slury marks on the hull. Its the baby blue colored box with the black tire and grey spools on the side. They used a similar process to cut the Diamond Ray shipwreck apart, but in that case they used a diamond coated chain as a hack saw, with 2 cranes as the power source.

    My friend works for the Maryland State Police with the underwater recovery dive team. He pulled most of the bodies out of the Key Bridge catastrophe. He is an expectational individual who is dedicated to his service. Please remember to keep the people and the families of those lost in this disaster in your prayers, if you subscribe yourself to prayer. If not, thank your fellow police officers for doing the work that no one else is able or willing to do

    2:46 This picture reminds of Sunshine Skyway Bridge that was replaced by the old bridge that was hit and damaged in 1980.
  • @malcolm20091000
    Inspiring. WeBuild Group threw down the gauntlet with this design. I'm sure other design teams are in the same process, but being "first in" sets the level that has to be met. Good strategy.
  • @fullraph
    1:52 the machine responsible for the cut is right there in view! A diamond wire cutting saw.

    BTW: Minorcan Mullet has reported the body of 6th and final lost worker has been recovered.

  • @JoeLinux2000
    I believe they must be talking about the main span. Thanks for your efforts to provide detalis.
  • @mandydominguez1025
    This new bridge design looks a lot like the new International Gateway Bridge in Long Beach, CA that replaced the old Gerald Desmond bridge. It is a gateway from Long Beach Harbor into the docks for the container ships. Took years to build but was an awesome sight to watch it go up.
  • @hotchihuahua1546
    I always look forward to your updates ! 👍👍 Although a tragedy , the massive effort and speed at which this is getting cleaned up is impressive !
  • @KennethAGrimm
    I remember when the first original proposals for the "Outer Harbor Bridge" were published in the Baltimore Sun, circa 1970. It was nearly identical to the design they are now calling the "new design". But it cost too much, and they went with the much cheaper truss bridge, with the narrower center span giving no margin of safety around the ship channel.
  • @FrankMuchnok
    One advantage that the new bridge designers will have is that they can build it in the same spot using the existing approaches instead of building it alongside of an existing functional bridge and redesigning all of the approaches.
  • @user-nd7wy6jl4s
    Thanks Jeff, you have certainly been a professional reporting on this tragedy.
  • @brentsarazin6597
    Very smart Italians swooping in on a potential Big Win contract for this new bridge but good on them. The fact that they found the last victim can now put closure and Move On....Great information video Jeff...TY
  • @mjmohn
    Jeff, great update. Thanks.

    I watched your new double upper cabinet install video. WOW you are awesome.
