Overview

• A cargo ship, the Dali, crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing it to collapse and killing at least six construction workers.
• Investigations into the cause of the crash are ongoing, with power failures on the Dali identified as a key factor.
• The collapse has had a significant impact on Baltimore's economy, particularly the Port of Baltimore, which is now facing disruptions.
• Federal and state officials, including President Joe Biden, have pledged support and funding for the bridge's reconstruction and the port's reopening.
• The National Transportation Safety Board expects the investigation to take one to two years, while the search has shifted from recovery to salvage operations.
