The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has significantly impacted 8,000 Port workers and disrupted U.S. port and shipping operations, with potential for "opportunities for foreign adversary exploitation" and "reduced the resiliency" of the national infrastructure. Governor Wes Moore announced a program to support impacted Port of Baltimore businesses and workers. Companies with goods on the vessel involved are being asked to share financial losses, as a 'General Average' has been declared by MSC. The cleanup effort involves removing 50,000 tons of debris, with police divers continuing an investigation. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has authorized the "full dismantle" of the bridge's structural steel, highlighting the importance of the expansion joint. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers released 3D sonar images of the underwater debris. The incident serves as a reminder of the contributions of immigrants and has prompted discussions on federal support for rebuilding efforts.

Earlier this week, I met with @GovWesMoore to offer my support as he grapples with one of the worst infrastructure tragedies in recent time. I believe the federal government can help bear some of the burden of the Key Bridge collapse and begin to rebuild. https://t.co/cPKCULRjts

The NTSB has gave the go ahead to fully dismantle the structural steel from the Francis Scott Key Bridge. There is an important component that I have not yet seen a photo of that I hope is not missed. The expansion joint. This accommodates the thermal movement of the bridge. https://t.co/uEZteLEjiC
