Baltimore has 'very long road ahead' after bridge disaster - as update given on ship crew

The governor of Maryland has said Baltimore has 'a very long road ahead' following the city's bridge collapse - as it was revealed all the crew on board the ship that crashed into it are in 'good health'. Governor Wes Moore's comments came as he spoke about the clean-up operation following the Francis Scott Key bridge disaster during a news conference on Thursday.

The stitches have been given, and he's then gone back to the ship. Our embassy is in close touch with the Indians, onboard and also with local authorities in this matter.' It comes after authorities said a pilot on board the vessel tried to swing it clear of the bridge by dropping its port anchor to pivot it away. The pilot and a second senior member of staff on board at the time are to be interviewed by the National Transportation Safety Board on Thursday.
