Baltimore Key Bridge collapse: Section of roadway that fell remains unbroken across container ship

Condolences to the workers and their families who lost their lives.

MV Dali must be the first container ship to ever deliver a section of highway to a port.

I'm no expert but I'm fairly sure that ships are not supposed to have two bridges.

It’s unbelievable that a 4 lane highway could look that small, Think about how wide that is as you’re driving on the interstate. I could only imagine how enormous the Dali is seeing it in person.

It would have been a completely different story If this ship breaks up during impact. It's a miracle (and an amazing feat of engineering) that they were able to re-float it and move it away. Kudos to all involved. RIP for the six workers that died in such a horrible way.

`damaged, but unbroken´? 🤦 It IS BROKEN!!!

Just the weight of the roadbed laying across the bow of the Dali - I would estimate that approximately 6000 ft.² of roadbed. Given the average concrete or blacktop roadbed for a span the width of the bridge would be roughly 64 pounds per square foot. So just that section of roadbed weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 190 tons! (384,000 lbs!). Boggles the mind and slightly amazed it didn't simply tear off the bow entirely! I believe they will repair the ship and my guess is they might very well section off the entire damaged bow and replace it. Might be the cleanest possible way to fix it.

Hopefully they fix the potholes in the hwy before unloading it.

Wow that pice of the bridge is still on there it's not light by any means. It shows the strength of the ship and shipping containers.

They can take that piece of roadway home with them,,,To remind them,,,,Dont run into bridges

People in the comments are funny. It's unbroken because the piece as a whole has not broken off into small chunks. It's an unbroken section if you ask me. Obviously it's fractured but the way the bridge is built that section remains held together since it's laying on the deck. I'm sure if they lift it then it'll start falling apart. Then it will be a broken up section.

Kind of eerie how a street lamp that was once way up on the bridge is now just a few feet over the workers heads!

Yes, I saw that on Marketplace. "Former elevated section of slightly used roadway, never submerged, must sell make offer".

I noticed the anchor chain severed. Will the MV DALI get her anchor and chain back or is that scrap that goes with the FSK bridge?

Just think, if those workers were parked right there,😢

I guess my definition of unbroken is different.....

My Goodness What dangerous work above and below the surface.Excellent closeup of the Dali.The highway light amazes me across the strip of asphalt on the ship.What skill to get the Dali to the Marine terminal.

"unbroken" ???

I know I’m not the only one thinking this… but it is really weird seeing a piece of road on a boat… in one major piece none the less! The dividers, the marks on the pavement. Even that weird metal lookin pole that’s bent managed to hang on there! It just looks so surreal…

L'absence de soutitrage est regrettable dommage
