US EditionCountry club saw a chance for growth — then the Key Bridge collapsed
- On the one-year anniversary of the catastrophic Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore on March 26, 2024, Maryland leaders honored six construction workers who were killed when the bridge collapsed after being struck by the cargo ship Dali at 1:29 a.m. While they were repairing the road.
- The collapse occurred after the cargo ship Dali lost power as it approached the Key Bridge, experiencing blackouts twice in the hours before leaving the Port of Baltimore en route to Sri Lanka, prompting investigations by the National Transportation Safety Board and the FBI into the circumstances leading up to the incident.
- During an anniversary ceremony, six wreaths were laid in the water, followed by a prayer and a moment of silence, to honor Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera , Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez , Jose Mynor Lopez , Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval , Carlos Dorlian , and Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes , the victims of the collapse.
- Maryland Governor Wes Moore, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, and other leaders reflected on the tragic event, its immediate aftermath, and the weeks that followed, with Moore stating, "Everything that has happened in that past year, it starts and ends with them," and Scott describing it as "just one tumultuous and really seismic shift of emotions."
- A new cable-stayed bridge, estimated to cost upwards of $1.7 billion and fully funded by Congress, is planned to be completed by 2028, incorporating the latest pier protection technology and increased height, while the Port of Baltimore rebounds with 45.9 million tons of cargo passing through its facilities in 2024, despite potential economic impacts from tariffs.
