Crews in Baltimore are preparing to use precision explosive charges to free the Dali container ship from underneath wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Salvage crews will detonate explosive charges to separate the bridge truss pieces strewn across the bow's containers from the ship, according to Unified Command Petty Officer Ronald Hodges. Officials have deemed it safe for the ship's crew to remain on board and shelter in place while the explosives are detonated.
“Safety is everyone’s top priority,” spokesman Darrell Wilson said, adding he trusts the experts’ assessment and plan. “Within the salvage community, some of the best experts in that field are in Baltimore working on this response.' The latest development comes as salvage teams located remains of construction worker José Mynor López, the final missing victim of the collapse, Tuesday.
