I had no idea that the ship was still caught up in the mangled wreckage of the bridge. wow.

High on a threshold yearning to sing
Down with the dancers having one last fling

An incredible amount of steel to be dealt with now - and that's just the ship.

Is the ship aground?

Low tide?

It didn't appear to move at all with what I'd think considerable weight removed.

I have no idea where the waterline is supposed to be, but it didn't appear to change.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.

About 14 minutes of that 15½ minute video could have been edited out. Also, why weren't there any horns, whistles or 'FIRE IN THE HOLE' warnings?

Evidently a big chunk of the bridge remains on the Dali. This article explains it: [www.wbaltv.com]

The bow is embedded where the channel bed rises towards the bridge pier. How much of the rest of the ship is aground has not been clear from the sources I have read.

Also, they are offloading containers.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

I relation to the bow not appearing to rise after the weight of the bridge truss was removed I came across mention that they have ballasted the ship forward to keep it from moving during these operations. The intention is to remove that ballast when they are ready to move the ship from where it is aground.

Interesting. This makes sense now that I've heard this.
