The collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has disrupted shipping at one of the largest ports in the country — and the busiest U.S. port for car shipments. Automakers are scrambling to deal with new supply chain issues.

I didn’t realize Baltimore was so important for the car market of the Midwest and East Coast. Apparently 800,000+ cars are delivered per year through the Port of Baltimore, but with the bridge collapse today it sounds like shipments could cause some car market issues for a swath of the country.

    The ship is trapped under the truss

    Pull it off?

    It probably has hull damage

    Okay?

    Imagine the outcry if that ship sunk and dumps its fuel everywhere.

    If it was going to sink it would have done so already.
