Crane arrives as Baltimore port salvage begins after bridge collapse
A 1000 ton crane appears near the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge as Baltimore crews start clearing wreckage. Gov. Wes Moore calls the event an economic catastrophe while outlining plans using seven floating cranes, tugboats, barges, salvage vessels and Coast Guard boats to reopen the Port of Baltimore and recover four missing workers. The debris and wreckage weigh up to 4000 tons and will require cutting into steel trusses before lifting from the Patapsco River.
