"Key Bridge Collapse: Safety Concerns and Liability Cap Amid Wreckage"

TL;DR Summary
Salvage operations to remove the wreckage of the Francis Scott Key Bridge from the Patapsco River have been complicated by the bridge sinking into the riverbed and adverse weather conditions, including lightning. Divers have found the wreckage extending below the mud line, making it challenging to plan the removal process. The search for four missing bodies has been postponed due to dangerous conditions, and temporary channels for smaller vessels have been established to navigate around the crash site. Legislation has been proposed to provide economic relief to workers and businesses impacted by the bridge collapse and port closure.
