"Baltimore Key Bridge Collapse: Recovery of Two Bodies and Latest Updates"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by The Washington Post
Divers have recovered the remains of two people from a red pickup truck submerged in the Patapsco River, nearly 35 hours after a container ship crashed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing it to collapse. At least six people from a construction crew are presumed dead, with two others rescued. Recovery efforts for remaining victims have been called off due to unsafe conditions, and a salvage operation will now begin. The collapse has disrupted supply chains and severed ocean links to the Port of Baltimore, with experts estimating that rebuilding the bridge will take years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
