The Maryland Transportation Authority says the state will rebuild and recover from a bridge collapse in the U.S. city of Baltimore. A cargo ship lost power and crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge last week, collapsing it.

At a monthly board meeting on Thursday – delayed in the wake of the tragedy – officials hailed emergency responders and vowed to clear the debris as soon as safely possible.

The vessel is still lodged in the tangled metal, blocking a vital shipping route in and out of the port. Benji Hyer reports.
