A big ship named the Dali crashed into a bridge in Baltimore, USA. This is a big problem because it’s stopped a lot of goods from being delivered around the world. The bridge was an important way for ships to get into the Port of Baltimore, which is a very busy place where ships unload and load up goods.
The crash happened early on Tuesday morning. It made a part of the bridge fall down. This is a big deal because the Port of Baltimore is one of the busiest places in America for sending out cars and trucks to other countries. Lots of well-known car brands like General Motors, Ford, and Audi send their vehicles through there.
Check out the drone footage of crash:
Because of the crash, the port is closed until they can fix the bridge. This is causing problems because many goods can’t be shipped in or out. Even though Baltimore is a smaller port compared to others nearby, it still handles a lot of stuff, like coal and cars.
The US government says they’ll do everything they can to fix the bridge and reopen the port. But it’s going to take some time. Meanwhile, companies are trying to figure out how to send their goods through other ports.
Luckily, the crash didn’t affect the natural gas terminal nearby. This is good news because it means gas shipments aren’t disrupted.
There were people on the ship when it crashed, but thankfully as of now, no one got hurt. The exact reason for the crash isn’t known yet, but officials think the ship had a problem with its power.
Now, experts are trying to find out what went wrong. They want to look at the ship’s data recorder to get clues about what happened.
So, this crash is causing a big headache for businesses and the people who work at the port. But everyone is working hard to fix the problem and get things back to normal as soon as possible.
