Congressman weighs in on Key Bridge collapse On March 26, eight construction workers were working a late shift when the Key Bridge collapsed, sending the workers into the water -- six were presumed dead. The collapse came after a container ship leaving the Port of Baltimore collided with the bridge, sending shock and pain across communities.
Since the collapse, Moore declared a State of Emergency , saying that the preliminary investigation shows the collapse "points to an accident," and that there is no credible information to tie the accident to terrorism.Last Friday, a large crane arrived in Baltimore to begin the clean-up process of the Key Bridge collapse. Since then, pieces of the bridge have been removed from the water. This comes after federal officials approved $60 million in emergency relief funding.
Officials said more funding may be requested as efforts continue to take place to clean the debris out of the water.
