Baltimore bridge: Massive US crane to haul wreckage after deadly collapse

RNZ

The largest crane on the eastern US seaboard is heading to Baltimore to launch a massive clean-up effort after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse.

Shipments in and out of one of the country’s busiest ports are suspended while the wreckage hangs over the cargo ship that crashed into it.

The search for the bodies of four workers remains on hold because of the dangers of diving amongst the wreckage.

Some $US60 million ($NZD100m) in federal emergency funds will go towards recovery efforts.
