Collapse of Baltimore Bridge

A container ship collided with a crucial bridge over the Baltimore Harbor, causing a major collapse. The ship, named the Dolly, lost propulsion while leaving the harbor, leading to a direct collision with a key support beam of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. This disaster resulted in the collapse of nearly the entire bridge, with numerous vehicles, including six construction workers, falling into the water. The bridge was a vital part of Baltimore's infrastructure, being one of the longest trust bridges globally and a crucial link for millions of vehicles annually. The federal government announced plans to cover the costs of reconstruction, emphasizing that the incident was not linked to terrorism.
