Ever Forward cargo ship could be stuck in Chesapeake Bay for over a week, officials say

It has been nearly a week since a massive cargo ship with thousands of containers on board got stuck in the Chesapeake Bay. And officials say it could be another 10 days before the ship is able to float again because it is a rare, complex mission.

On Friday morning, CBS Baltimore's Ava-Joye Burnett travelled out onto the bay with U.S. Coast Guard engineers and investigators as they tried to bring the vessel afloat.

"It's rare for a vessel to run aground in the Chesapeake Bay," Captain David O'Connell, the section Sector Commander of the Maryland-National Capital Region, said ahead of the excursion. He leads Coast Guard operations in the coordination of all maritime safety, security and environmental missions in the region.
