United States: heavy economic consequences after the collapse of the Baltimore bridge. Baltimore City's largest bridge collapsed early Tuesday morning, March 26, after being struck by a container ship in distress.
Rescuers suspended searches around the bridge on Tuesday evening, with American authorities believing that the six missing people were now presumed dead. This serious accident also blocks one of the busiest ports in the country. More than a million containers and 52 million tons of goods passed through the port of Baltimore last year, including 800,000 cars imported or exported.
