"Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Crews Begin Wreckage Removal Amid Unsafe Conditions"

Crews are working to remove the first portion of the Baltimore bridge wreckage to open a temporary channel for vessels around the collapse site, aiding in the search for missing victims and reopening a critical port. The cargo ship involved in the collision has significant bridge debris hanging from its bow, and the economic impact of the collapse has affected thousands of dock workers. Cleanup efforts are underway, including isolating a natural gas pipeline, and small businesses affected by the collapse can apply for federal disaster loans. Diving operations for the missing victims have been paused due to unsafe conditions, and salvage operations will need to clear debris before divers can resume their search.
