Key Bridge in Baltimore Collapses After Hit By a Ship

Here is a CNN link that everyone should be able to read.

Six people are unaccounted for following the collapse of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, according to officials. Rescue teams continue to search for missing people in the water.

Eight people were on the bridge when a cargo ship crashed into it early Tuesday. Two of them were saved from the water earlier today.

The crew on the ship issued a "mayday" call before it collided with the bridge, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said. Video shows the collapse of the 1.6-mile-long, four-lane bridge after it was hit by the vessel.

The bridge extends over the Patapsco River and serves as the outermost crossing of the Baltimore harbor. It is an essential link of Interstate-695, or the Baltimore Beltway.

I'm curious if the state of MD could sue the steamship company for damages? They must carry insurance. nt mitch96 Mar 2024 #1
