Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapses After Being Hit By Cargo Ship

[Chief Sapulpa]

One of the biggest cranes on the ocean has moved into Baltimore harbor to assist dismantling the bridge and getting the main channel open for commerce.
What's interesting is that this crane was once owned by the CIA and used to build the Glomar Explorer. A top-secret vessel built to recover a sunken Russian Submarine during the cold war.

I just watched a documentary on this a couple weeks ago. In it they said there were possibly two ships built with one being deployed, as a diversion, to the site where the Russians thought the sub went down while the other one went to the actual site where we, after a very long and exhausting search, located the sub. They also noted how the only person, outside of a few in the intelligence sector, who was granted access to some of the files regarding this incident was Tom Clancy who then used the material to write "The Hunt For Red October". Very interesting story of which, apparently, much remains clouded in speculation and likely classified.

Thanks for the history lesson.
I recently caught a yellow fin tuna off a drilling ship in the gulf, 75 miles offshore.

When I lived in League City, I'd take those 36 hour tuna trips out of Galveston.

Hwy 59 closed at Salisaw. Ship hit bridge.
Coincidence or terrorist attack?
