The Navy released sonar images Tuesday morning of the Dali, the cargo ship that slammed into the bridge, resting on the bottom of the Patapsco River.

The last time I saw that ship it had part of the bridge resting on it, but it looked seaworthy and was riding high in the water.
And now it has sunk? what happened?

It is so good to see competent can-do projects on a massive scale like this one.

The weight of the bridge has it pinned to the sea floor

They're unloading containers, but that's not the solution in itself. It won't be seaworthy without steering. That would have to be fixed first. It might be maneuvered with tugs if the containers are offloaded first. Tug Tide could probably answer that for us. At any rate, the bridge is going to have to be removed from the bow first...

Apparently it wasn't seaworthy when it left the dock.

The main pylons are planned to be positioned in shallower waters, away from the navigation channel.

Didn't see this coming but sure looks like a good idea to get that truss off the Dali........

Most was blasted away but some parts were not removed because of hazardous materials on Dali. I cant find who did it but I'm guessing CDI since they are a local company.
