"Key Bridge Wreckage: Baltimore Cargo Ship Dali's Ongoing Danger"

TL;DR Summary
Recovery efforts for the ill-fated cargo ship Dali, which caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore Harbor, are complicated by the need to stabilize the ship and remove the steel wreckage. The Army Corps of Engineers aims to prevent the ship from shifting in the current while supporting the wreckage, and plans to use anchors, tug boats, and heavy lift cranes to lift and remove the 4,000-ton section resting across the ship. The presence of a natural gas line under the ship and bridge wreckage further complicates the recovery efforts, while the need to clear the channel of debris to accommodate large ships adds to the challenge.
