Baltimore Shipping Channel Reopens After Bridge Collapse

The main shipping channel into Baltimore's port has fully reopened after being blocked by wreckage from the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. The bridge collapsed on March 26 following a container ship losing power and crashing into one of its supporting columns, resulting in the deaths of Latino immigrant workers who were filling potholes on the bridge at the time. The Port of Baltimore was effectively closed for several weeks while the wreckage was removed, with crews eventually clearing over 50,000 tonnes of debris from the channel.
