Biden Addresses Baltimore Bridge collapses after powerless cargo ship rams into support column

A cargo ship lost power and rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, destroying the span in a matter of seconds and plunging it into the river in a terrifying collapse that could disrupt a vital shipping port for months. Six people were missing.
The ship’s crew issued a mayday call moments before the crash took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Maryland’s governor said. The ship struck one of the bridge’s supports, causing the structure to collapse like a toy. It tumbled into the water in a matter of seconds - a shocking spectacle that was captured on video and posted on social media. The vessel caught fire, and thick, black smoke billowed out of it.

Synergy should pay for damages and to rebuild the Key bridge, not from taxpayers money. This ship owners are billionaires.

[@Foofrarf23]

The shipping company's insurance (if I'm assuming they even have it) should be 100% responsible for this accident. It wasn't like someone driving over the bridge that caused it to completely collapse!
