TL;DR

Workers have removed a 200-tonne segment of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge from the Patapsco River, with no timeline yet for reopening the Port of Baltimore. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott responded to racist remarks falsely attributing the incident to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs, calling the disaster a "national economic catastrophe." Meanwhile, a barge struck a bridge in Oklahoma just days after the Baltimore tragedy, and one of the last drivers to cross the Key Bridge narrowly escaped the collapse. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg stated that the operation to clear the debris is complex, and the mayor called for bipartisan support for the bridge repair.
