baltimore: The Francis Scott Key Bridge over the Patapso River collapsed Tuesday morning after a cargo ship collided with a pillar. This bridge was constructed in 1977. When the cargo ship hit the bridge, one of its pillars collapsed, causing the bridge to collapse. Along with this, fire also spread in the ship. It is noteworthy that this bridge, built in 1977, was named after the poet Francis Scott, who wrote the American national anthem 'Star-Smangled-Banner'. It was known as K-Bridge for short.
Baltimore is partially. It is a little far from the beach. There is land inside also. But the water flow of the river is very high. It has been learned about this accident that happened at midnight when this container ship moving from the port of Baltimore collided with a pillar of the bridge.
Baltimore Mayor Brandom Amscott Chen and Baltimore County Sheriff Johnny Olszewski (Jr.) wrote in their posts that emergency personnel were called into action after receiving news of the tragedy. And the rescue work is going on rapidly.
