VIDEO: Detonation of Francis Scott Key Bridge Wreckage to Clear Baltimore Harbor

Salvage crews detonated a large section of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge today.  That bridge collapsed into Baltimore Harbor after being struck by a large ocean container merchant vessel, sending the I-695 Bridge crashing down on top of the ship and into the water.

The vessel has been pinned beneath the Bridge wreckage for about a month, severely limiting vessel traffic into and out of America's third largest shipping port.

Today, salvage crews who had planted explosives at key point of the wreckage, detonated them, which caused a very large collapsed section of bridge to fall off and away from the pinned ship.

PREMIUM CONTENT:  

This section of the article is only available for Subscribers who support this web site with $1 a week billed either Quarterly ($13) or monthly ($5).

This is necessary because this is a CLOUD-BASED web site.  The way it works is YOU READ . . . I GET BILLED for "Data Transfer."

Despite being politely asked for voluntary donations, few people ever bothered to donate. Then, despite being asked to click an ad within a story to generate ad revenue for this site, the majority of the general public couldn't be bothered with that, either. So there's no reason to give the general public free news anymore; they don't pull their own weight.

With tens-of-thousands of people reading stories here every day, the costs nearly drove the site out of business.

In order to be able to continue providing cutting-edge news, often hours or even DAYS before Drudge and most of the "mass-media" -- if they even cover it at all -- I need to be able to sustain this effort. To do that, I rely on folks like YOU contributing a pittance of about $1 a week;  which is chump-change that you won't even miss!  Yet that small amount makes all the difference in the world to the continued existence of this web site.

In the final analysis, knowledge is power.  Getting information first, or info that other sources simply don't report, is usually well worth a few bucks in the long run.
