Baltimore: A controlled demolition rips through wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge on May 13 in a bid to free the stuck cargo ship that crashed into it. An estimated 500-foot bridge section, weighing up to 12 million pounds, was shifted in the final stage of efforts to move the Dali into port. Its crew, 20 from India and one from Sri Lanka, have not been allowed to leave the ship stuck in the Patapsco River since the March 26 collision that caused the bridge’s collapse, killing six construction workers. The men have been maintaining the vessel and helping investigators.
