Transporting the removed Truss pieces from the Francis Scott Key Bridge on April 16th, 2024

[@chrishintz1077]

Scale of crane makes everything else look like tonka trucks. Loving the background, calming music. Thanks.

[@genny2287]

Great coverage of transporting this piece of wreckage. Impressive to see vessels along the route. Music is eerily appropriate. Thank you!

[@peacefullife1115]

So amazing to watch…

[@annmariesikorski5364]

Piece by carefully piece. What an undertaking. Safety to all the people working on this project.

[@GilbertWadsworth-wu6qq]

Great Job! Pro's!

[@chrishintz1077]

Impressive. Dicey deconstruction project on water, yet. More power to them.

Never again! America must be protected in all businesses.

The biggest concern here is making sure the load, the steel structure, does in no way hit the boom section on that crane, or would be a huge catastrophe.

[@verdebusterAP]

The scale of that truss shows the difficult task the salvors have

[@studioopinions5870]

Thanks for your reporting, keep it up until the Dali is gone, then I quit watching. I enjoy seeing this main Sea Channel get opened up again. Terry

Music is like we are floating in space .

So incredibly sad to watch🙏🏻

450 TONS, INCREADIBLE CRANES!

[@danromeo6571]

It’s amazing what man can accomplish when we have only good to accomplish…

[@carmensmall932]

Amazes me how that huge crane with all that weight can get through that part of the channel

[@robertlane3513]

I would say he is already on the down river side, and is just heading to the lay down area.

[@TandNFox]

The man made machines are truly a miracle compared to steam propelled of many years ago !

Give me a lever and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I can move the word. Archimedes

[@pkfan5112]

Wait for several hours those big trust still waiting to unload, not cooperating

[@williamdavis1474]

Are they going to try and reuse this piece, if so they will need to do a lot of inspection as well as magnaflux a good portion of that piece.

[@williamdavis1474]

So is this crane a stiff leg or does it rotate on the barge, the gantry cables look like they are attached to the barge but don't see any counterweight anywhere.

[@GilbertWadsworth-wu6qq]

Huge but a small piece,

[@CyPhi68]

Anyone know if they have drones up giving them real time feedback on the move.

[@davidwilliams1086]

Are the trusses sitting on pontoons?

[@donniebrown499]

how far out to sea is the large crane able to go?

[@seanmurphy2302]

Wherever it has to. Interesting story about the rigs inception. Built for the CIA to retrieve a sunken Russian Sub, way back when. I just read the article. Give it a search. pretty cool

[@retired0307]

Radio chatter sounds like someone is high on caffeine.

[@chrishintz1077]

Lol. Yes. They’re really into it. 10-4. ;)

[@chrishintz1077]

Copy that. ;)

[@ralphaverill2001]

The spooky audio really isn't needed. In fact, it detracts from the solemnity.

[@seanmurphy2302]

The crane was built for spooks, though. CIA

[@ivomedic5745]

Somebody milking money’s.

[@UQRXD]

It's the way. Greed rules always has.

[@rjb6327]

Old news.

[@timbentley3536]

This bridge should already be gone. The channel should be open quit dragging it out. Army Corps of Engineers is a joke back in World War II. They raised the battleship in six weeks. You can’t even move a bridge you ever considered when they blast the bridge. They do the same thing and it don’t take them, but about two days to move the bitch out of the waterway big freaking.

[@bobh6728]

When they blast a bridge they break into pieces that can be fairly easily picked up. This bridge is all twisted and parts are under a lot of strain. There is also a boat in the way and bodies to recover so they can’t just blow it to pieces.

[@markmallia179]

Nice 4:32

[@williamdavis1474]

Back in WW2 there weren't as many safety rules as there are now, it was a war zone, actually weren't any rules just get it done, needed it done yesterday.
