"Baltimore Key Bridge Collapse: Search for Missing Workers Continues Amid Unsafe Conditions"

TL;DR Summary
Workers have begun removing the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore from the water, with a 160-ton marine crane lifting the first section onto a barge. President Biden has approved $60 million in federal funds for the bridge's reconstruction, with estimates suggesting the total cost could reach $2 billion. Four bodies remain unaccounted for, and rescue divers are on standby. The rebuilding process could take 18 months to several years, and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has condemned misinformation surrounding the cause of the collapse. Governor Wes Moore emphasized that the emergency response is a "round the clock operation."
