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.
  • @jimw1615
    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.
  • @hdhxhebdh

    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.
  • 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 .

    Apparently a ton of people are structural engineers on YouTube. Who knew?
  • @user-by8fv6fk9r
    how was there no radio communication with the workers on the bridge deck?
  • 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
  • @evilchaperone
    God speed. Be safe out there. We want to see the best outcomes for everyone.

    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.
  • New bridge? Go for the Cable Stayed design. Strong and cost effective
  • @gomez2724
    apparently the news crews can't get any other footage of the workers cutting/removing anything.
  • @HobbyOrganist
    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

    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 hope they find the four missing construction workers so the families can have some closure. May God bless their souls.
