You can only see about 1-2 feet in front of you, on a good day. Today is not one of those days.
“Immediately once you’re in the water, it gets real dark real quickly,” Evan Woodard said, describing what he saw when he dropped his underwater drone into Baltimore’s harbor.
Woodard is a treasure hunter of sorts. We first interviewed him in October about his magnet fishing expeditions. He bought the drone to help him explore the depths of the waters around Baltimore and continue his search for interesting items lost to the harbor’s floor.
But this week, he’s using the technology to give people a glimpse into the conditions at the Key Bridge salvage team’s underwater job site.
“I can’t imagine being down there right now in these conditions working, basically feeling around with your hands trying to find something that’s maybe like a foot in front of you and you still can’t see it.”
