The Port of Baltimore is shut down indefinitely until wreckage of the 1.6-mile bridge is cleared from the Patapsco River, which could take two months and cost hundreds of millions of dollars.
A significant bridge collapsed in the Baltimore port area following a collision with a container ship, leading to the suspension of traffic. The port, known for its car shipments and handling of agricultural products, also serves as a major hub for coal exports and liquefied natural gas.
Up to 20 people fall into the Patapsco River following the incident. All crew members, including two river pilots, on board the vessel Dali have been accounted for
