Cranes arriving to start removing wreckage from deadly Baltimore bridge collapse
SUMMARY: A massive crane capable of lifting 1,000 tons was deployed near a collapsed highway bridge in Baltimore as crews prepared to clear wreckage blocking the vital port. Governor Wes Moore described the bridge collapse as an “economic catastrophe” and highlighted the challenges of recovering missing workers and reopening the port. Efforts to clear debris, recover bodies, and assess the damage involve a complex salvage operation with various equipment and experts. The U.S. Coast Guard is focused on removing the bridge and container ship remnants to reopen shipping lanes. President Joe Biden's administration has approved immediate aid for rebuilding the bridge.

SUMMARY: A barge struck a bridge pillar in Galveston, Texas, causing oil to spill into surrounding waters and closing the only road to Pelican Island. The incident occurred when a tugboat lost control of the barges it was pushing, resulting in one barge hitting the bridge. No injuries were reported. The collision caused oil to spill into the bay, prompting cleanup efforts. The bridge, rated as “Poor” in a 2023 federal inventory, will remain closed until deemed safe. The incident occurred weeks after a cargo ship crashed into a bridge in Baltimore. Plans are being made to provide transportation for those stranded on Pelican Island.
