"Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Cleanup Challenges and Cultural Impact"

TL;DR Summary
Engineers have begun the complex process of removing the mangled steel from the collapsed section of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, which was caused by a cargo ship crashing into one of its main supports, resulting in six deaths and blocking shipping traffic into the Port of Baltimore. The removal involves the use of massive cranes, tugboats, barges, and salvage vessels, with the goal of reopening shipping lanes and stabilizing the site for continued search efforts for the missing workers. The cargo ship, Dali, reportedly lost propulsion before the crash, and efforts are underway to recover vehicles that fell from the bridge.
