Just a random thought about that truck. If it is one of the agencies maybe they are listening to or for some signals from the containers? Placed by a government agency or maybe a foreign entity.
Might be interesting to point a yagi at the containers and see what shows up on a spectrum analyzer. |

They drive them to concerts and park them in lots during parades, any time there's going to be a whole ton of text/voice traffic that needs to be around and reliable. I am guessing they were getting iffy service, they move one there and it runs a local tower and has a single high speed uplink to the network. Is that what people are guessing that it is a drone jammer or something? Drones run on the open 2.4 and 5GHz bands (freqs WiFi uses as well) and jamming one isn't a simple matter as they're spread spectrum, you'd need to white out the whole band to have an effect, and if the drone is linked via cell phone or starlink or other similar high end comms, there's no real jamming it. The new ones can be programmed with a flight profile and use GPS and IMU to travel a path and record and return to be downloaded as well. They're handy for terrorists like that. |

a ship passes through the newly opened channel on the Patapsco River |

View Quote Exactly 1 month later, ship still there, half a channel and 2 pseudo-channels I'd have thought the ship would have been a priority pulling the wreckage off of it and getting it out of the way to make room for the cranes. I suppose that's why I'm not in marine disaster recovery. |

Quoted: Exactly 1 month later, ship still there, half a channel and 2 pseudo-channels View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes I nailed it. Quoted: Channel, my guess is a month, but could be two weeks. I see them doing very little for two weeks as they investigate and recover the any cars and bodies. The cant go pulling pieces if the bridge out with divers in the water. So a week or two for that minimum. Then they can probably get the channel clear in a week or two. There will be some down times when the divers go back in as they take pieces of the bridge out and fine another car. |

I wonder how much longer until they torch the bridge off of the asshole boat that hit the pier and pull it the hell out of there.
I feel like that boat needs to go. |

HOW Will They Move Key Bridge Off MV Dali Ship? |

Here's a perspective e haven't seen yet:
unified command prepare to move pieces of steel aboard the M/V Dali |

Demo crews are going to use explosive charges to bring the biggest truss piece down. They are cutting and drilling points on it to place the charges. Not today though, it is pissing with rain there so far today.

The body of the last missing victim killed in the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore was recovered on Tuesday, officials said.
José Mynor López, 37, was identified as the final victim to be located in the wake of the March 26 disaster. He and five other members of a work crew filling potholes on the bridge were killed when the Dali container ship collided with one of the bridge’s support columns, triggering the collapse. Salvage teams located López’s body and notified authorities. “With heavy hearts, today marks a significant milestone in our recovery efforts and providing closure to the loved ones of the six workers who lost their lives in this tragic event,” said Colonel Roland L. Butler Jr., superintendent of the Maryland Department of State Police. “As we mourn with the families, we honor the memory of José Mynor López, Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, Carlos Daniel Hernandez Estrella, and Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez,” Butler added. In a statement, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said “it is with solemn relief” that López “will be reunited with his loved ones.” Referring to all the victims of the bridge collapse, he added: “We remain steadfast in our commitment to enduring support and will forever remember the lives of these six Marylanders.” |

When they cut that shit off the bow of the ship, I question whether it will refloat and be free on its own or if that will become a whole thing.

Is 'precision cutting' a made-up phrase to avoid the use of the word explosives? It seems rather contrived.

No kind of anything but I'd guess they would secure the bridge to the ship and then would blast the brigde out away from ship on both sides simultaneously so they fell into the water. Then remove the piece from on top of the ship while cutting up the rest lying on the riverbed to be removed. Flame away for my uneducated guess. |

Are they still going to do the controlled demolition tonight{sat} ?
|
|
|
I wonder if the controlled det will immediately free the Dali, or if additional work will need to be done.
|
|
I will be interested to see where the crushed and still trapped containers end up when they clear that truss from the port side of the ship. A lot of stuff going on when they set the charges off.
|

|
|
I'll be watching it around dinner time. Hope that truss comes down as planned.

I wonder how much weight will come off the Dali when the cuts are made and if we will see her bow rise in the water.

I believe the Dali rammed itself into the out of lane, shallow draft zone.
