As Victim Recovery Stalls, Baltimore Bridge Cleanup Launches

The NTSB has given a preliminary timeline of its collapse

Authorities are turning their focus to “salvage” operations to remove wreckage from the Patapsco River after a massive container ship caused Baltimore’s Key Bridge to collapse.

“We have exhausted all search efforts in the areas around this wreckage,” said Col. Roland L. Butler Jr., superintendent of the Maryland State Police.

Two bodies were recovered Wednesday; four more missing people are presumed dead. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Shannon Gilreath said reopening the waterway into Baltimore’s port is the “number one priority.”
