The U.S. Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command and Supervisor of Salvage and Diving released sonar images of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, with plans for a challenging salvage operation. Six construction workers died in the collapse, with one body recovered and three still missing. The Navy divers captured sonar images 50 feet below the river's surface, showing the metal framework under the mudline. The salvage effort involves clearing debris, removing a cargo ship, and creating a shipping lane by April's end, aiming to restore vital activity to the Port of Baltimore by May. Laser and sonar technologies are crucial in the recovery process.
