"Baltimore Bridge Collapse Cleanup Raises Environmental Contamination Concerns"

Teams of engineers are working on the intricate process of removing the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland, while also trying to recover the bodies of four missing workers. The bridge collapsed into the Patapsco River after a cargo ship crashed into one of its main supports. Salvage operations involve using floating cranes, tugboats, and salvage vessels to remove the wreckage, which is blocking ships from entering or leaving the Port of Baltimore. The victims were members of a crew fixing potholes on the bridge, and the collision has caused significant economic impact, with the port disruption affecting thousands of dockworkers, commuters, and U.S. consumers. President Joe Biden’s administration has approved $60 million in immediate aid for the recovery efforts.
