UPDATE: DHS and Coast Guard Say Cargo Ship that Struck Francis Scott Key Bridge Was Transporting 1.8M Gallons of Fuel and 56 Con...
Early Tuesday morning, the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD, collapsed after a cargo ship collided with a support column, causing the bridge to collapse.
I don’t think most people understand even remotely how large these ships are. That bridge is colossal and it makes it look like a toy, they can dwarf the tonnage of the largest fleet carriers the US operate. Similar to trains, I’m starting to think people don’t realize the industrial quantities of hazmat that are transported around the world every second.
