In a tragic update, officials have announced that the body of a third victim has been retrieved by divers from the wreckage of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The recovery effort remains ongoing as dive teams face challenging conditions to search for any remaining individuals.
This development comes as President Joe Biden visited Baltimore on Friday to meet with the grieving families of the victims. Accompanied by Marine One, the President took an aerial tour of the site to assess the extent of the damage caused by the bridge collapse.
The US Army Corps of Engineers is working tirelessly to expedite the recovery process. They have announced that a new channel, set to be completed by the end of April, will finally allow one of the busiest ports in the country to gradually reopen. At present, the port has two temporary channels in operation, but they lack the necessary depth to accommodate large container ships.
Consequently, the container ship involved in the crash, the Dali, continues to remain stranded at the port. Authorities are working diligently to ensure a safe and efficient resolution to the situation.
As more information emerges, new video footage has been released, shedding light on the challenging conditions faced by dive teams as they enter the water around the wreckage. This footage emphasizes the complexities of the operation and the determination of the authorities to navigate through these difficult circumstances.
With the ongoing recovery efforts and the upcoming completion of the new channel, there is hope that the Baltimore port will soon be able to resume its vital role in facilitating trade and commerce. The tragic incident serves as a reminder of the importance of infrastructure maintenance and the need to prioritize safety in all aspects of transportation systems.
