Crews carefully start removing first piece of twisted steel from collapsed Baltimore bridge
==========
Teams of engineers are working on removing the first section of twisted steel from the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore; The bridge collapsed into the Patapsco River after a cargo ship crashed into one of its supports; Cranes and cutting torches are being used to cut and lift the steel beams; The steel will be lifted onto a barge and floated away; The process is complicated and will affect the timeline for reopening the ship channel and the blocked Port of Baltimore; Four workers are still missing and presumed dead; The ship involved in the collision is managed by Synergy Marine Group and owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd., chartered by Maersk; The cause of the collision is still under investigation; The Environmental Protection Agency has not detected any active releases or hazardous materials in the water; The bridge will be rebuilt, with the federal government covering the full cost; The closure of the port and the loss of the bridge will have economic impacts on dockworkers, commuters, and U.S. consumers; The port handles the most cars and farm equipment in the U.S.
