A container ship did the bridge boogie in Baltimore, causing a whole section of the Francis Scott Key Bridge to take a nosedive into the Patapsco River. Cars went for a swim, authorities played rescue rangers, and Gov. Wes Moore swooped in to bathe in the limelight during a press conference.

The ship made the bridge go kaboom, cars went splash, and heroes on the scene stopped traffic like traffic-stopping superheroes. Moore was probably loving every minute of his spotlight snatch.
While the investigators are tugging at their Sherlock Holmes hats, here’s a hot take—accident or not, policy-pushers are quick to reassure it was not the boogeyman’s doing. No car pool parties happening in the river, they say.
Paul Wiedefeld, the Maryland Transportation Secretary, probably had a bad hair day with all this bridge drama. He spoke about repairs and a chilly dunk in the river at 47 degrees.
And lo and behold, Gov. Moore busts out his trump card—a state of emergency declaration! It’s like Oprah giving out freebies, but with a dash of fear and chaos.
