Key Bridge Response Unified Command planned to use precision cuts with small charges to remove a large portion of the bridge debris over the span.
Key Bridge Response Unified Command said in a statement that the safest and fastest way to remove bridge fragments from the top of the cast is with precision cuts made with small charges. This is an industry-standard device I have controlled by demolition that will break the span into smaller pieces, which will allow the work of re-floating the ship and removing it from the Federa Channel.,
The 2.6-km-long, four-lane Francis Scott Key Bridge over the Patapsco River collapsed on March 26 after being struck by a 984-foot-long ferry. The crew aboard the Dali consisted of 20 Indians and one Sri Lankan. The crew has been on board since the accident and is cooperating with the investigation.
The exact timing of precise cutoff will depend on several environmental and operational factors.
Officials said the small charge, a standard controlled demolition tool, would split large sections of the truss at specific locations to create multiple smaller sections, allowing rescuers to already use cranes and barges to dismantle and eventually remove these sections of the bridge. Allows to use.Cast from th channel.
"We are focused on restoring the maritime transportation system while ensuring the safety of the public and the environment," said Captain David O'Connell, Bridge Response federal on-scene coordinator. Crews can safely and efficiently continue clearing the channel to the Port of Baltimore.
Key Bridge Response Unified Command coordinated with the Maryland Department of Emergency Management to issue a cellular notification prior to the controlled demolition to maximize awareness in communities near the bridge.
Unified Command has advised that hearing protection is not required outside the 2,000-yard noise radius. The sound level outside the noise limit will not be louder than a standard fireworks show and will last 2-5 seconds.Harry W. in Charles County, Maryland in March 2023 Similar methods were used in the area for the controlled demolition of the Nice Memorial Bridge.
Last month, US authorities launched a criminal investigation into the Baltimore bridge collapse, which is also looking into whether the ship's crew, which included Indians, acted "knowing that the ship had serious system problems." "Had left the port.
The Washington Post reported that the FBI had launched a criminal investigation last month focusing on the giant container ship that sank the Francis Scott Bridge in Baltimore — an investigation that will at least partially look at whether the crew caused it. Left port knowing the ship had serious system problems."

In the days following the accident, US officials began interviewing personnel, including Indian crew members, aboard Dali.Synergy Group said in a statement that the NTSB boarded the ship on Wednesday and collected documents, voyage data recorder extracts and other evidence as part of its investigation.
