"Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Challenges and Cleanup Efforts"

The New York Times was allowed to ride aboard a U.S. Coast Guard boat to witness the aftermath of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, caused by the cargo ship Dali striking the bridge and resulting in the deaths of six construction workers. The scene revealed maroon containers larger than cars twisted and crushed, massive steel beams warped into crooked arches, and pillars of jagged concrete poking out from the water. The Coast Guard boat approached the cargo ship, where crew members from India remained to keep it operable, and a thin yellow boom floated around the ship to contain spills.
