The Biden administration swiftly approved $60 million in emergency funds on Thursday.
Initial reports from the National Transportation Safety Board and videos of the collision shared on social media suggest that the Dali suffered a power outage in the critical minutes before colliding with a key support pillar of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
“The federal emergency funds we’re releasing today will help Maryland begin urgent work, to be followed by further resources as recovery and rebuilding efforts progress,” Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said in a statement. Moore compared the process of clearing the channel to the Port of Baltimore to the blockage of the Suez Canal in 2021, when the cargo ship Ever Given blocked the key waterway for global trade.
Initial reports from the National Transportation Safety Board and videos of the collision shared on social media suggest that the vessel suffered a power outage in the critical minutes before colliding with a key support pillar of the structure. The breached containers held soaps, perfumes and different resins. Officials haven’t detected any flammable vapors, but have placed 2,400 feet of hard containment booms around the vessel in an effort to prevent any spill from spreading and are using air monitors to assess any contamination.
