TL;DR Summary

Crews in Baltimore have begun the complex process of removing the twisted steel from the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge, which fell into the Patapsco River after a cargo ship crashed into one of its supports. The intricate work involves cutting and lifting the steel before floating it away on a barge. The bridge collapse has led to the closure of the Port of Baltimore and a major highway link, impacting thousands of dockworkers, commuters, and U.S. consumers. Investigations are ongoing to determine the cause of the accident, while officials plan to rebuild the bridge with federal aid approved by President Joe Biden's administration.
