Everything we know about the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse

Everything we know about the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse



One week has gone by since a massive container ship struck a critical support column of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, sending the structure and a group of construction workers who were fixing potholes on the bridge into the water of the Patapsco River. Of the 8 men who were working on the bridge that night, six have been pronounced dead since last Tuesday. As more details have emerged about the accident, and the city and port authority's plans for clean-up and reconstruction, The Real News convened a panel of journalists working all sides of this story to get a sense of what we know, what key questions still need to be answered, and what happens next.

Joining this timely discussion are Marc Steiner, host of the Marc Steiner Show on The Real News Network; Real News Network Editor-in-Chief Max Alvarez; Dharna Noor, who leads "Big Oil Uncovered," a Guardian series focused on the fossil fuel industry's attempts to thwart climate science, discourse, and policy; and Clara Longo de Freitas, a neighborhood reporter covering East Baltimore communities for the Baltimore Banner.
