Early Tuesday morning, a cargo ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, causing a section to collapse. The cause was attributed to a power issue onboard. Footage captured the ship striking a bridge column, leading to its fiery collapse. Rescue efforts ensued as workers repairing potholes and vehicles were affected. The U.S. Coast Guard and local emergency responders reported two survivors and six missing individuals. Governor Wes Moore of Maryland disclosed that Buttigieg reached out to him at 3 a.m. on Tuesday, highlighting the swift federal response to the incident. President Biden, speaking from the White House, pledged extensive federal assistance for recovery and reconstruction efforts, emphasizing the Port of Baltimore's vital economic importance and the challenges ahead in rebuilding essential infrastructure. Buttigieg echoed the president's commitment and acknowledged the arduous path to recovery. Despite these efforts, some sought to exploit the incident for political gain. One conservative X account named U.S. Ministry of Truth posted, “Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg to address Baltimore Bridge collapse as soon as he’s done chestfeeding.” A sort of anti-gay joke conservatives like to crack. George Santos also jumped on the bandwagon, attributing the bridge collapse to Buttigieg's discussion of racism in 2021. In 2023, the Port of Baltimore ranked as the 11th largest in the country. It is a premier port for car imports and exports. #Queer Up The USA View
