Crews detonated carefully placed explosives to break down the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, clearing the way for the grounded Dali container ship to be refloated.
The controlled demolition was crucial in restoring traffic through Baltimore's port, providing relief for impacted workers and small businesses.
Next steps involve assessing remaining trusses on the ship's bow to ensure smooth refloating, then guiding the Dali to a terminal for temporary repairs.
Officials expect the ship to be refloated within days, with eventual plans for more substantial repairs at a shipyard after temporary fixes at the terminal.
