Like many Americans, I was gob-smacked the other morning when I saw the video of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key bridge collapse. Disasters of such magnitude take lives as well as forever changing those that survive. Living in the Baltimore, Washington area, I’ve often driven over the Key Bridge, as have family and friends. The 1.6-mile-long bridge is a major route up and down the Atlantic seaboard, handling over 11 million vehicles annually. Had the collapse occurred during rush hour, the death toll could have been staggering. As it is, lives were lost, and the destruction of the bridge is going to have significant economic consequences for Baltimore, the nation, and the environment.
