One of the big things I took from the videos is that the Dali is now resting on the bottom of the bay due to the weight of the bridge on top of it. We knew it wasn't going to be moved until the bridge was moved, but it's going to be really complicated and we still don't know the state of the hull under the water. Thankfully the bay is mostly silt and mud so it may be undamaged from being run into the ground. The bridge is also over the hazmat cargo, which further complicates things.
I'll link the article (https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/2024/03/29/dali-ship-crew-baltimore-bridge-collapse/?utm_campaign=wp_main&utm_medium=social&utm_source=reddit.com&utm_source=reddit.com) but I can't actually read it since I don't have a Washington Post subscription. Was linked and summarized on reddit. The Dali crew are still on board the ship and will remain as such since they don't have clearance to be in the US. It's common for shipping crews to never leave the ship at port, so they don't have the visas. (And someone needs to stay and maintain the ship.) I wonder if they have power and/or running water, though. The snippet I could read was unclear.

Current goal that has been shared is to have a channel that is 35ft deep open by the end of April, and have the full 50 ft deep channel open by the end of May.
Cargo ships are now leaving Baltimore. Being escorted by tugs, but they are getting the ships out, and some hopping to get a couple in this weekend. But, this temp channel will close again for 10 days.

I saw the sugar ship came in to the Domino factory, which is like....not actually a big deal. But it's just so Baltimore it made me feel good.
