It has been nearly a week since a massive cargo ship with thousands of containers on board got stuck in the Chesapeake Bay.
"Right now it's 24 feet, so basically as it traveled outside the channel, it almost buried itself into the bank," O'Connell said."That's why it's not an easy operation of just putting some tugs on it and pulling it free.""You think of something that's 1100 feet long and around 160 feet wide… it's just massive," said Geoffrey Donahue, director for the Office of Emergency Preparedness and response for the Maryland Department of the Environment.
A team of engineers, investigators and even divers are working on a plan to move her. The department of the environment is there too, because with 2,200 tons of fuel onboard, they want to make sure nothing is leaking.
