New sonar images released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reveal the sunken remains of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, which collapsed on March 26 after being struck by a cargo ship. Salvage crews are working to remove the wreckage and containers from the ship, while the bodies of three construction workers have been recovered. The images show the bridge wreckage in the federal shipping channel, and plans are underway to create a Limited Access Channel to accommodate larger ships in and out of the Port of Baltimore.
Sonar images reveal the mangled remains of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge at the bottom of the Patapsco River, aiding in the challenging salvage operation ahead. The bridge collapsed after a cargo ship struck it, causing at least eight construction workers to fall into the water. The 3D renderings will assist divers in navigating the chaotic scene with limited visibility, as recovery efforts continue to remove steel and concrete debris and locate the remaining victims. The ship's owners have filed a court petition to limit their legal liability, as investigations into responsibility and compensation unfold.
Former US air force pilot Tony Romeo claims to have possibly located the wreckage of Amelia Earhart's plane at the bottom of the Pacific using sonar images, reigniting the mystery surrounding her disappearance in 1937. His images, posted on Instagram, show a blurry mass that could resemble a plane, and he plans to obtain better images. This discovery would be a significant breakthrough in the search for Earhart's plane, but it follows previous attempts, including the forensic analysis of bones and other expeditions, to solve the enduring mystery.
