As divers assisted crews with the complicated and meticulous operation of removing the steel and concrete from the fallen Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, some near the site took time on Easter Sunday to reflect on the six workers presumed to have plunged to their deaths.
Cranes stand idle above farm equipment on Thursday, March 28, 2024, in Dundalk, Md. The deadly collapse of the historic Francis Scott Key Bridge has shaken Baltimore to its core and challenged its cultural identity as a port city that dates back to before the U.S. declared its independence. BALTIMORE -
The bridge fell early Tuesday as the crew of the cargo ship Dali lost power and control. They called in a mayday, which allowed just enough time for police to stop vehicles from getting on the bridge, but not enough time to get a crew of eight workers off the structure. It can also alter the course of the National Transportation Safety Board investigation, which Moore said is important to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Along with clearing the shipping channel to reopen the port, officials are trying to figure out how to rebuild the major bridge, which was completed in 1977 and carried Interstate 695 around southeast Baltimore and was a vital link to the city's centuries of maritime culture. “This matters to folks in rural North Carolina, in Kansas, and Iowa. This matters to the global economy. And it should not be something that has anything or any conversation around party. We are talking about an American tragedy to an American city,” Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott told CBS' “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
