Raw: Never-before-seen footage, Key Bridge Recovery! Pt. 1

#francisscottkeybridge #collapse #demolition
Up-close, never-before-seen footage captures elite demolition crews dismantling The Francis Scott Key Bridge from heights exceeding 100 feet, strategically dropping sections weighing over 100,000 pounds into the water, later removed by clam bucket from the channel.

As a former scraper, I was very impressed by the job these people did. Well done!

[@gullreefclub]

Great video of the work dismantling the Key bridge Thanks for the video and look forward to watching more videos from you Have a great day and a better tomorrow

[@workingunderwater]

I appreciate the positive vibes and good feedback. Thanks! Stay tuned for lots of wild content coming soon on the channel .

[@Climbtodharma]

Whoa! Incredible point of view!

[@a-fl-man640]

watched the live stream daily and it was interesting at times but this is the best video of the disassembly i've seen. good job! bonus points for no movie soundtrack.

[@workingunderwater]

Much appreciated! If you liked that, just wait until you see part two.

[@JoeLinux2000]

@@workingunderwater I like to see detailed pictures of the removal of the concrete off the deck of the Dali after it left Baltimore.

[@kway7583]

GREAT point of view! Thanks

[@user-cn4rg2bs4p]

thanks for showing us this. media concentrated on 533 and Chessy but all you guys were working just as well. Caroline from the uk.

[@JimDog794]

Very good video view. That's some hefty steel and powerful cranes!

[@wickedcabinboy]

Interesting. The close ups give a more accurate perspective on the real thickness of these steel parts. All we saw up to now was long shots that that gave the impression of an oversized erector set.

[@Climbtodharma]

Thanks for watching! Yeah, the wreckage was nothing short of colossal, no video does it justice.

[@Pamudder]

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to part 2

[@workingunderwater]

Thanks! Part 2 is even more intense, you won't believe it.

[@JoeLinux2000]

Amazingly high quality pictures we haven't seen before. Some of the steel looks to be 1" thick or more.

[@workingunderwater]

Thanks. steel was up to 4” thick

[@joselucca2728]

Thanks for publishing these close up videos of the work. Simply amazing.

[@workingunderwater]

You're welcome. The USA needs to never forget this so we can protect and reinforce other vulnerable structures, ensuring a similar catastrophe can't happen.

[@akileshbadrinaaraayanan5989]

Nice work buddy!

[@Kevin-is-here]

Awesome point of view, hopefully you’ll have more to share, everyone did a great job dealing with that mess 👍🏼

[@workingunderwater]

Glad you enjoyed the video. We definitely have more; Part two is intense. Pt. 2 features up-close footage of Dali's damage.

[@sailingmollygrace4596]

What an incredible point of view! amazing 😮

[@albarosewilliams7443]

Very interesting. Thank you.

[@workingunderwater]

Interesting, yes, but it’s terrifying that something like this can happen.

[@SomeDumUsrName]

Wow! Amazing!

[@leeriffee4606]

Wow....very interesting! Unbelievable that just those relatively small chunks of the bridge structure each weigh as much as a herd of elephants! The Key Bridge looked rather delicate from a distance (and even driving across it didn't give a full picture) but clearly it was not. And yes it is sad to see what's left of it being dismantled....

[@workingunderwater]

Yes, the Key Bridge was structurally critical, meaning it heavily relied on the integrity of certain key components. When it was built, cargo ships in Baltimore were 1/3 the size of the Dali. Thanks for tuning in!

[@pinbuoy]

wow great job, thanks for the video

[@kwlanco2714]

those workers have a real Big set of ".....". Working from an 85 ft reach manlift which is sitting on a barge, or a basket hanging from a crane. You have to keep your hand steady enough to keep the Torch in the right position, knowing that the material that you re cutting is going to fall away. 1 or 1.5 inch thick steel.

[@workingunderwater]

When you're up there above the wreckage fully extended in the manlift and that barge starts rocking in high winds, you better have some kind of faith in God because you're in His hands at that point. After the first minute or two, you just shake it off and focus on the task at hand. Good observation, Thanks!

This is what hard working blue collar Americans do for a living 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@StringsandWings]

Awesome footage. I thought I knew something about Rigging. You guys are baddasses!

[@workingunderwater]

Thanks for the positive feedback! The rigging is actually pretty straightforward, just supersized and inspected thoroughly.

[@COYOTE_N8]

Sweet vid. All little explanation just on what you guys are doing would be cool to hear.

[@workingunderwater]

Thank you for your feedback. We wanted this series to feature raw, unedited footage.

[@frankchapp9904]

Cool, it sounds like they were using air gouging to cut the girders….

[@arcboutant]

I will never be able to get my head round WHY the traffic on the bridge when it collapsed was not a priority. People could have been saved from their vehicles - the world watched and watched ,replayed again and again the bridge collapse WHILE PEOPLE SLOWLY DIED in the water.

[@mr.shannon6137]

Awsum video, thanks for sharing.

[@workingunderwater]

Glad You enjoyed it!

[@ltdees2362]

Disturbing, viewer discretion is advised...the steel is screaming for its life while being torched 🤣

[@workingunderwater]

Thanks for your comment! We included the viewer discretion advisory out of respect for those impacted by the incident. Some viewers might find scenes of this disaster unsettling. Appreciate your consideration!

[@fucksusan420]

And it sure has alot of time to yell. I'm impressed how slowly these "men" can work

[@user-fs2hc9vf7j]

Oh my baltomor

[@workingunderwater]

She definitely took a hit, but Baltimore will bounce back.

[@goddukee]

Disturbing to some viewers ? Is there a "Save the Steel" movement I haven't heard about ? This is men making a living and doing it well. Nuff Said

[@carlosolivo5991]

Omg you’re right it is disturbing pieces of metal falling in the water my God get a life

[@daveyjones3884]

I am curious who from the UC approved the release of this video?

[@DwarkaDiscovered]

I've been on the ground for many urban disasters, and it's widely understood that the freedom of the press allows for documenting events like the bridge collapse. This bridge demolition has been extensively filmed, this video is no different than the thousands of others online.

[@Climbtodharma]

Yeah, exactly! Capturing moments like this helps keep everyone informed. There are many different workers who have made TikToks about cutting the bridge, so it's all over TikTok.

[@LSDiiZ]

In 1787, a group of visionaries approved the release of this video when they signed the United States Constitution 😂
