- Crews have taken major steps toward reopening Baltimore's port after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse last week. Workers have begun cutting the bridge into pieces and have removed tons of debris in what is now a 24/7 operation. CBS News' Nicole Sganga and CBS News Baltimore reporter Alexus Davila have more.

Props to the authorities for getting the bridge closed so quickly, preventing the loss of more lives.
Thanks to police being near the bridge controlling traffic while workers fix the potholes
I cannot imagine the two to four seconds of terror had someone driven off the edge of that approach ramp to their demise at 60+ mph in the blackness of night.😢
Thanks to the HERO POLICE! Hope they are acknowledged publicly 🙌
You're a day late and a dollar short with this comment.
We've moved on.
@@lyndarowe7191what did they do? Literally nothing. No heros in this story.
A good amount of information pertinent to the bridge demolition and stabilization of the ship in this report. Thank you for not just repeating the same old information.
Yesterdays video
My condolences to all of the families affected
Be careful workers!
This is so sad 😢. Pray for them lost there life and to there family!! ...god bless yall
Those guys have been cutting that same girder for the last 3 days.
How about spending a couple of bucks and get some new footage CBS.
DAMN RIGHT
Real heros dont wear capes, they wear high-vis
Or they chose to live à lifestyle that hurts others minimally.
Another safety concern I know they are keeping in mind is the JLG’s , boom basket lifts , the Ironworkers are in have to be in a position so when each piece is cut that piece will not swing out at them from the energy in that piece. The energy I am referring to comes from the amount of stress the collapsing of the bridge put on that piece .
The power line poles have gaurds around them, but the bridge supports didn't? WTF?
Power lines would not be protected from, say, a crashing aircraft.
@@Smannellites-- We aren't discussing air crashes here.
The power lines were added years later
@@GH-oi2jf
Speaking of air crashes, how about that Hindenburg?
You see so lost on what happened mike
how was there no radio communication with the workers on the bridge deck?
Thats a good question and is part of the investigation. There will be a lot of new safety features on the new bridge.
Why would there be? Who would the coms be with?
Why did CBS News put a broken video link in the end card at 5:06 in this video? It's a private video, so it's of no use to anyone.
I understand the cops stopped the traffic but did anybody warning the workers on the bridge?
No.
the recording from the police, tell one of the cops plannered to get out on the bridge to the workers, but that he was waiting on his backup. I guess they were like a single police car in both ends, so He risked cars starting to drive out on the bridge again, if he din't kept his position until help showed up. The safety setup wasn't designed for a ship collapsing the bridge with only a very short warning.
What about the missing workers?
apparently the news crews can't get any other footage of the workers cutting/removing anything.
Same picture from yesterday
Maybe they are being kept away for their own safety
Looks at the shot at 5:14 and ask yourself again, why can’t the news get new shots of work being done. It is miserable out there with zero visibility. It’s a harbor in a rain storm, they literally can’t get you any new footage and it’s supposed to rain here in Baltimore til Wednesday.
They’ve cut that same price of steel 8 times. There needs to be a current video of a massive pile steel on land. I get that it’s dangers but the progress sure is slow.
@@jonathantaylor6926 I think they are more concerned with doing the job safely than getting you nice pictures or video of every beam they cut through.
We've lost 6 lives to this tragedy already, they shouldn't risk more lives for the sake of a photo op
It is very unpredictable how the tree will fall down and break up. Cutting the steel structure into pieces over water is 100x more dangerous than cutting down a tree.
Well you hire an army of engineers to analyze the tree and use computer modeling and make precise cuts, you could infact predict how a tree will fall.
What tree?
You want to recover as much of the steel bridge structure as you can without having more of it fall into the water. The cranes can only lift so much weight, so you can’t just make a bunch of random cuts and end up with pieces that are too heavy to lift or fit on a barge.
Geniuses..........absolute Geniuses!
Interesting... If a tree is so unpredictable... Then why are so many are felled to land within +-.5M?
I hope they find the four missing construction workers so the families can have some closure. May God bless their souls.
The original bridge took 5 years to build BUT that included approaches, foundations for the towers and the rest of the superstructure, the approaches likely can be re-used
I believe that they will go with a whole new bridge from scratch
Those original structures are all over 50 years old. At that age, its simply more economical to build a whole new bridge from the start.
It shouldn’t take 5 years this time! Bridges can now be prefabricated like houses ! And assembled quickly, I’ve saw bridges assembled using large slabs of cement roadways, saving many months of work!
They won't build the same type of bridge again. It'll probably be a modern cable stay bridge with two tall towers each side of the channel. It'll take years just to build the towers.
So four years?
@@EtherealVirago He is right , these days with CAD design and robot assisted beam lines they could punch the sections out in multiple factories all over the country.
4 years could be pretty close . I bet you they dont use Miami FIU for the design.
No two bridges are the same. What you see being built is already years of work done prior. Your lack of education does not change the complexity of the world around you.
@@Look_What_You_Did when they are not in a rush it could be 2 - 3 years of design , but given the financial losses from this situation i bet the survey and design could be done in 6 months with modern CAD and FEA
This is bad because I have to go to Baltimore I think across the bridge for a field trip for my 3rd grade elementary school and they are not rescheduling the trip so I hope I’m ok
I know it is important to open the port. However, for Gods sake. If I had my say, that waterway would not open until the other 4 workers are found. May God look upon these family’s with loss.✝️
If a small boat sank or someone jumped off the bridge, they wouldn’t close the port until they found them.
Apparently a ton of people are structural engineers on UA-cam. Who knew?
And iron-workers and underwater demolition experts.
We also have a lot of Armchair Admirals on here as well. We have experts everywhere. LOL
@@gregorylyon1004
The Constitutional Law experts have switched to Maritime Law.
And don't forget all of the "Doctors" that were on here during Covid.🤦
I’m not an Engineer but I did sleep in a Holiday Inn.
God speed. Be safe out there. We want to see the best outcomes for everyone.
How long before they say what actually caused the ship to hit the bridge?
Years. LOL
Literally months to years. The NTSB takes their time.
Jewish space lasers,no doubt
New bridge? Go for the Cable Stayed design. Strong and cost effective
Secretary Pete popped in to tell us the bridge was racist.
the bridge didn't collapse; it got knocked-down
What's Chanel's @?
Can the channel be opened with the ship still aground?
No way
Where are the job openings? Where to sign up somebody give the people the information
Skilled trade ironworker company non union. Extreme skilled traders no videogame playing. No skinnyjean rappin black guys allowed. No smiling and joking much.
@@HarvardArchaeology😂 why you say it like that.
Do you have experience in iron work or welding or diving or anything like that? No? Well maybe you can go sell water bottles to the actual workers or something. They wanna hire pepper that have experience and have been working. Not people sitting around waiting for an opportunity
@@HarvardArchaeologywhat has being black got to do with it?
As the most skilled tradeworker in this comment subsection, you all could have been nicer about it.
So what is it? To hell with the rest of the families loved ones? gotta get that money flo that's the most important hee. No they need tobget their priorities straight and really quick. It's ridiculous to even think if they have stopped looking at all. That is very sad. Prayers go out to the families of all that was involved. Shame goes out to the government
Can you sell Pieces of the bridge for remembrance.😢
Heartbreaking!! Thank you to all the fast-thinking port authority workers that stopped that traffic. And to the police. Hats off to all that are helping with this huge amount of devastation. Continued prayers to all the families that have lost someone and that are still waiting for closure.
Respectfully... the police did not think. They did what they were told... which came from the port authority.
I wonder why mainstream media is not covering the story about the other barge that hit the bridge in Oklahoma a few days ago. Oh maybe because it only took out a chunk of the support column but didn't collapse... 🤔🤔
Almost Impossible to do in 3 years.,,,, Probably gonna have to move the bridge over and build another one.
The liability for this disaster goes in many directions. The ship operator, examination of maintenance records of the vessel, The Captain, Engineers, and records of clearance from port. The American Tax Payers should not have to cover one single penny of the price to clean up the mess, restore and replace the bridge and infrastructure. Insurance companies involved with this are going to go under, and I have not one ioda of sympathy for them PAY UP !!! 😮
9 cents per pound ($200 per ton) for scrap steel. Who's cashing it in?
the cronies
Back to costs for navy!
😂😂WHO TOLD YOU 9 CENTS PER POUND FOR SRAP STEEL ? OR DID YOU SIMPLY MAKE THAT UP IN YOUR PEA 🫛 BRAIN. TRY $ 1.93 PER POUND
Hunter.
But it costs 100 bucks a pound to get it out of the water.
I understand Jlow said she's from Baltimore
Oh ok NOW its 24/7... guess they were packing up at 5pm on Friday before this huh?
Why are they not also removing the containers...? People waiting for their stuff and reduce the weight of the ship. Ain't no boom crane barge?
Because they want to inspect all the containers for damage
There was nothing wrong with the bridge. The fault was not having prevention of a vessel hitting the bridge. There are preventive methods that should be incorporated in the new building of the bridge. They are separate from the bridge, but in the water.
in the video footage for this story it shows that diversion markers were in fact present and they appear to be on somewhat substantial peers. But they were not close enough to the bridge to deflect impact as the ship does not appear to hit either one.
Cool story bro. Please tell me more.
Let's hope they don't rebuild the same cheesy bridge. That would repeating a bad mistake. This calls for a suspension bridge with a main span longer than the three original spans, and provide barriers around support foundations to deflect, and, if necessary, impale and hold ships of any size. We don't need a repeat performance; imagine if it had been rush hour.
I hope and pray they will take all of this into consideration and build something modern and more fail-safe.
It hasn't been a cheesy bridge for 47 years, as thousands of ships passed underneath. I'm sure the people in charge of building the new bridge will use your comments.
The new bridge will be whatever can be built as quickly and cheaply as possible while also being safer.
I hope they do a diligent search for 'passengers' to ensure that they have food, water, and air in their containers!
Hadn't realised baltimore was so bad.
LOL
Politicians didn't do their work there.. channel is poor.. tugs unused.. bridge not properly protected.. its almost like they are incompetent or some other factor..
RAIN SOUNDS
CBS = Where are crews taking all the debris removed from the bridge?
Some brainstorm ideas, how to use the small emergency side channels when cleared:
- Barge platforms towed by a tugboat that can pass through the temporary emergency channel
- Floating cranes that are strong and large enough to transfer containers at sea from ships to these barge platforms. The same idea can also be used to slowly unload the container ship at the bridge. Also good enough to pull free if the ship is not taking water
- It is many Sisyphus work, but small drops to keep the harbor alive until the main channel is free
By brain storming do you mean trying to pitch ideas that have already been communicated as being your own independent thoughts and ideas...
@@Look_What_You_Did If you say so, then it must be real
I hope they have a plan for heavy storms increasing the river's flow.
Dozens of lives. An act of God. .Akexus Chanell , Nicole.. Damn only the best.journalists flow baby.
DO they even have the broken vessel engine repaired yet???
My guess is that they will pull that ship away and maneuver to some other place using tug boats. There will then be a top to bottom investigation Just like a crime scene, nothing is to be touched.
they can't do any repairs till the investigation is done.
All they need to do is restart the ship, why weren't the ships anchors dropped?
This was no accident!
@@josepha.levesque806hope your tinfoil hat is keeping you dry in all this rain!
@@josepha.levesque806The anchor was dropped. And don't insist that it was not an accident until the investigations are complete.
If cops could stop traffic wht couldn't they get the workers off the bridge?
They had LESS THAN TWO MINUTES ...
Cops were at the ends of the bridge; workers likely in the middle or somewhere past where the cops blocked traffic.
Because of the language barrier.
@@seeharvester One of the workers had been in the USA for almost 20 years. You can pick up a bit of English in that time.
The casualties could have been a lot worse.
3 months will pass till bridge will become clear from wreck.
If it takes more than five years to rebuild, I’ll be highly disappointed
Bridge selection based on material availability are the critical risks. How soon can a given material be produced and delivered.
So has found the dead bodies in the missing vehicles? All have been mentioned is the 6 dead crew workers which made it sounds like only 6 crew workers were killed and no one else. I don't believe so. There are more missing vihicles and people trapped in the vehicles killed. But why all media didn't even mention that, to make audience feel no more victims. That's disgusting and fooling the public.
There was only 8 workers on bridge n vehicles 2 were saved the same day .2 bodies were found next day and the other 4 are still missing ..Where do u get there is more missing people...there was no one on bridge but the workers
There aren't anymore people. CBS has said that 60 cars went into the water. There lying to us to make it seem worse than it was for viewership. There's even an interview with the man who was the last car to cross the bridge. If you watch the many vidoes out there you can see that the cars were off the bridge when it collapsed. Thank goodness for the quick response by the police. Just more poor journalism to get you worked up for your views.
Be safe good bless
Surely better than a bad bless
Why don’t they cut all that stuff off the ship first and get it out of the way?
They have to remove weight first. You don't cut pieces that can affect the stability first. There's 50' of structure below the water which divers will have to cut. The last thing you want to do is make it harder for them by have those big sections fall completely under.
These comments are wild
Very good job dudes!! Congratulations 991.31% yo. Splendid story but be careful workers!
Is the ship sinking?
No
Pete on the job. Tony on the jab. Great.
They can clear channel in couple weeks with crane barges. Build from both shores to replace bridge. Underwater cutting wire to section bridge
Near zero chance they will do any significant cutting underwater. Dumb move that increases risk for no gain.
@@Look_What_You_Did do you know how underwater rope cutting works?
Why no talk of making the ship owners pay for reconstruction?
Those talks are in process.
We'll collect later. No ship is insured for a $2 billion dollar bridge collision
@@gregorylyon1004 Wrong.... They easily have 2B.
Who's the insurance company??? Loyd's of London???
Would love to see a national and international bridge design contest and find something that would last forever and be beautiful functional and beautiful
My condolences to the family's but when it comes to rebuild. They will drag this thing out on purpose bloat the cost spend like 7 years rebuilding it like they always do when it could probably be done WAY faster.
No they won't. They are using non Union workers. No setting around for coffee break. LOL
@@gregorylyon1004 I hope so but just watch when it comes to building it forget it things will change.
there should be military temporary bridge in place by now, this is 21st century... you're telling me there's no plan B when the bridge collapses...
no point. No temporary bridge can be made high enough for ships to travel under, and once the bridge wreckage is clear, ship traffic will resume.
You're telling me you are the direct result of the US's education system? Shocking...
Someone is getting a nice bill on the mail in a few months 😂
It won't be that bad a bill. I heard that they are only hiring NON UNION scabs for the Job.. LOL
Lots of transportation stuff happened on his watch,
Lost and much need to be rectified!
Should not take them long. The bridge was made out very thin steel.
Steel made in China. LOL
Well Russian bridges use Chinese steel and N.A.T.O missiles, or military grade high explosives could not bring it down.
Where this bridge made with American steel, was brought down by being bumped into by a boat.
Tells a story, does it not.
YES, 7/24. Finally America woke up to reality...
How is working around the clock waking up?
All the major infrastructure projects built in the USA in the past ALWAYS delayed then delayed and doubled or tripled the original budget. 7/24 in this time shows the determination to finish ASAP without sacrificed quality and safety. America has all the resources to become FIRST, but comfortable life style made Americans weak.
WOW money talks.
Gotta get that
"merchandise" thru QUICKLY....the merchandise that never stops " giving "📹.
I thought the cranes were doing humanitarian effots first by getting those loved ones in cars pulled up.
The governor is not concerned about the dead construction workers. He's getting nervous because no Port of Baltimore, no money coming in to pay the lifetime defined benefit pensions for retired workers. His state is flat broke paying lifetime pensions and he knows it
The closed captioning on this video call it "The French is Cocky " bridge..
I mean… they’re not wrong
it should be replaced with an underwater tunnel...
An underwater tunnel will cost a lot more than a new bridge. If you want the tunnel to last that is
They already have underwater tunnels
Money
As opposed to an air tunnel?
Please KEEP Secretary Pete B. away from the Baltimore harbour to increasing productivity debris removal & reduce his incompetent inputs.
terrorists at play was anyone arrested or in prison like most countries would do, no because it's the new thing like else where😮
I blame the robots
To old to reconstruct bridge.
We didn't lose any Americans on this? Great news
You were already lost
Ghoul
Unfortunately it’ll be years before that bridge is rebuilt. Clearing debree, reengineering a new bridge to new codes, environmental impact studies, plus getting on the list for the bridge beams to be fabricated by China or overseas companies (it’s real).Then shipped over and put together onsite.
Wrong.
they should worry about the body's in the channel instead they trying to open the channels for shipping, what's wrong with this picture??????
It is dangerous to have the waterway blocked for ships/vessels out in the open water. Imagine a vessel in trouble that cannot get to shore or Coast Guard who cannot get out. They found who they could but need to get the channel open.
They have searched without success. It's awful to think about but the bodies might have been washed away from the site by water currents
The two run in tandem, the bodies are trapped beneath debris in the channel. As they remove debris from the channel they will be able to pull the bodies.
Surely... There can't be many more commentators???
Don't cut tugs loose until AFTER passing the bridge.
Check. ✔
Congrats to the on site reporter using all the correct words in the correct order.
Same video that I have seen for 2 days……
We can put a man on the moon, but we cant use a magnetically mounted remote controlled plasma cutter to do this? Crazy...
You tell um peewee!!
The governor wants the cheapest method possible
does anybody talk about the insurance that the boat owners have why should we pay for this FJB
FDT
Because there was no Insurance for Terrorism on the bridge.
There is a UA-cam channel called what going with shipping that explains how the insurance in this accident.
Because no ship is insured for a $2 billion dollar bridge collision
The Simpsons did it first. They must be looking to The Simpsons for ideas and inspiration
The last reporter needs to work on that news accent 😂
I sure like to see how far was the stop from the other cars that was on the bridge I wonder why they didn't have walkie talkies that could have got them to move off the bridge
Very dangerous work getting the bridge cut up. I wouldn't be surprised if more lives aren't lost. They should have robots do all that. We have the technology 🤔
Technology costs money. Money the governor doesn't have
Lets see this alleged technology... Fing emoji using loser.
Where's the investigations seems pretty suspicious power cut off when it's going in between the pillars only to cut back on Direct it toward the pillar and cut the power off again
Is the steel getting put on a barge and sent to China before it can be inspected? Just like nine 1 one
Wtf?
Sure is go cry
There was a complete lack of urgency or authority in the Radio comms on the bridge - they got lucky.
You wanted panic??
Yeah, the lack of panic doesn't equate of a lack of urgency.
Did you want screaming and yelling? What a silly thing to say.
Doing your job and stopping traffic without risking your life is now heroism to. Sorry military heroes, and civilians rescuing people at risk of your lives, firemen running into fires to rescue lives and even some police rescuing folks. Your actions are meaningless now. Hero is now a meaningless word.
The ship company should responsible for everything
Nice try
5 years to build a bridge US now i see why China leading in infrastructure & 5D billboard buildings etc.
Move to China.
Ah yea, OSHA the donuts are over there. Don't look out there.
Boo hoo! 😨😨😨
Pete BOOT EDGE EDGE
Another aspiring comedian. Don't give up your day job
I was looking to a better design Bridge a wider span for the ships or put in a tunnel instead of a bridge that could be started right now since Biden's paying Park
What??
What??
Huh??
