The impact of the Baltimore bridge disaster

Hindustan Times  

Editor’s note : Police in Maryland said that the six people who remain missing following the Key Bridge’s collapse are now presumed dead. “Never would you think that you would see…the Key Bridge tumble down like that,” Baltimore’s mayor, Brandon Scott, told reporters. “There is no question that the bridge would collapse due to the impact on the columns.” President Joe Biden promises to foot the bill to get the bridge rebuilt as soon as possible. Daraius Irani, of the Regional Economic Studies Institute at Maryland’s Towson University, says the port closure alone will probably cost roughly $50m a day in lost activity.
