"Baltimore Bridge Collapse: NTSB's 90-Second Warning Ignored"

TL;DR Summary
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) revealed that police had just 90 seconds to stop traffic and evacuate people from Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge before it collapsed due to a cargo ship collision. The ship, DALI, was carrying 764 tons of hazardous materials, including corrosive and flammable substances, some of which leaked into the Patapsco River. The bridge collapse has halted shipping in and out of Baltimore's port, and the search for four missing individuals has shifted from a rescue to a salvage effort. Governor Wes Moore has requested federal funds for rebuilding the bridge, but the cost and timeline remain uncertain.
