Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Work Underway To Clear Collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge Sections

The collapse of the iconic Francis Scott Key Bridge in the United States' Baltimore led to devastating scenes that left a trail of wreckage and a massive container ship, the Dali from Singapore, stranded amid the debris. Crews have been working to remove steel and concrete from the bridge which collapsed after a 22-Indian-crew ship rammed into it last week.
