"Assessing Vulnerability: Sonar Images Reveal Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse Aftermath"

Underwater 3D images released by the U.S. Navy show the mangled remains of the Francis Scott Key Bridge at the bottom of the Patapsco River in Baltimore, Maryland, following a cargo ship collision. Salvage operations are hindered by murky water and mud, limiting visibility for divers, and rough weather has slowed debris removal. Two bodies have been recovered, two survivors rescued, and four others are presumed dead. A second temporary channel has been opened, but the challenging salvage operation ahead is underscored by the difficult conditions and the need for detailed verbal guidance for divers due to poor visibility.
