"Diving Hazards and Safety Concerns: Baltimore Key Bridge Recovery Operations"

TL;DR Summary
Army Corps of Engineers divers are facing "lethal" hazards, including "razor sharp" steel, as they work to clear wreckage and search for bodies in the aftermath of the Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore harbor. The twisted metal of the bridge, submerged cargo ship, and surrounding waters present a complex and dangerous challenge, with divers working in darkness 50 feet below the surface. The Corps is tasked with clearing the channel and ensuring safe transit of vessels, while also prioritizing the recovery of missing workers' bodies.
