Notice how quickly and efficiently they can blow up bridges and dams, and probably more.

Hey! This gas generation plant is still working; blow it up.

If they were leaving the ship stuck aground and the Port of Baltimore blocked off, somebody would be whining and complaining about that.

Heading out to get ringside seats!

Will this be a spontaneous controlled demolition like WTC7?

Who gets to say “PULL IT!”, the Baltimore mayor?

No. It was an actual controlled demolition, very much UNlike the World Trade Center.

Yes, like the Nord Stream gas pipeline.

It’s too bad that the outrageously overloaded container ship didn’t sink along with the bridge. /spit

American taxpayers should demand that their tax dollars not be used to rebuild this bridge. If azhos calling themselves “americans” are triggered by the man who wrote the National Anthem, they should start a Go Fund Me page, have car washes and bake sales to pay for the new Kunte Kinte Wakanda Bridge.

Yea I think we missed the big boom this is the aftermath. Still though it shows they have a lot of steel to remove.

I believe that the demolition of the Francis Scott Key bridge was more controlled than they are letting on to. We see your distractions joke biden.

In the videos I saw the ship did not move and if it did it was very little. I wonder how they got the guys up the steel girders to place the explosives?

They would be at an angle on slick steel.

The ship is stuck in the mud, and still has a section of concrete and steel bridge deck on the bow.

The explosives were set by men in buckets attached either to JLG type man-lifts on the ship or hoisted by the big cranes.

A youtube channel called “What is going on with shipping” provides regular detailed and intelligent updates on the effort.
