"Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Recovery Efforts and Legal Disputes Unfold"

Two bodies have been recovered following the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, and authorities are searching for the remains of four more people presumed dead. The collapse has shut down ship traffic at the Port of Baltimore, creating a logistical nightmare along the East Coast. Recovery efforts are focused on investigating the cause of the collapse and reopening the shipping channel. The cargo ship involved was carrying hazardous materials, and the investigation could take 12 to 24 months. The federal government has declared a state of emergency and pledged to pay for the reconstruction of the bridge.
