Summary
- Controlled explosions were set off to remove a portion of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge from a container ship in Baltimore.
- The detonations were to break the bridge’s truss into small sections for removal.
- Reconstruction of the bridge is estimated to cost up to $1.9 billion and is expected to be completed by autumn 2028.
- The FBI has opened a criminal probe into the collapse, and safety investigators recovered the ship’s “black box” recorder.
