A bridge in Baltimore collapses with a boom
The largest portion of the bridge that collapsed in US’ Baltimore has been imploded to free the container ship Dali, which is resting on it. Authorities said no injuries or issues were reported during the detonation, and no injuries or problems were reported on board the ship during the explosion. The Dali was carrying about 2,00,000 containers when it hit the bridge.
It will take at least several weeks to clear Baltimore’s shipping channel
The US city of Baltimore has closed its port for several days after a huge container ship crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The debris from the ship’s crash is being removed so that maritime traffic can resume. The closure of the shipping channel is costing $191 million a day in lost economic activity, the International Longshoremen’s Association Local 333 said.
