Baltimore bridge: Massive US crane to haul wreckage after deadly collapse

The largest crane on the eastern US seaboard has arrived in Baltimore as part of a massive clean-up effort after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.

Shipments in and out of one of the country’s busiest ports are suspended while the wreckage hangs over the cargo ship that crashed into it.

The search for the bodies of four workers remains on hold because of the dangers of diving amongst the wreckage.

Some $60m (£48m) in federal emergency funds will go towards recovery efforts.

I was about to ask what the nationality of the crane had to do with anything but then I remembered it’s 2024 and this is America. I had a sad instead.

Nevertheless! Largest crane on the US Eastern seaboard! Pretty nifty. Can only lift 1,000 tons tho, with about 3,000 or 4,000 tons of brodge balanced across the back of the Dali. They have to cut away debris and not spill (or ignite) the hazmat onboard, which sounds like it’s basically paint thinner, in part.

Glad I’m not the risk &compliance guy on this job. Yikes.

The weight involved is absolutely nuts.
