Baltimore (AFP) - The cargo ship that collided with a Baltimore bridge nearly two months ago, collapsing it and killing six highway workers, was refloated on Monday and towed back into port. Live television images of the operation showed a flotilla of tugboats slowly pushing and towing the M/V Dali away from the remains of the shattered Francis Scott Key Bridge and towards a marine terminal. The Key Bridge Response Unified Command said the complex operation involved the Coast Guard, the US Army Corps of Engineers, the Maryland Department of the Environment and other agencies. It said the Dali,...

Baltimore (AFP) - Demolition experts used explosives Monday to remove part of a collapsed bridge in Baltimore and free a cargo ship that has been trapped since it rammed into the structure in March. The demolition will eventually allow workers to remove the nearly 1,000-foot (300-meter) Dali container vessel which has almost entirely blocked access to one of America's biggest ports for the past six weeks. The Francis Scott Key Bridge, a major transit route, was destroyed in seconds when the Singapore-flagged ship lost power and plowed into a support column, causing the bridge to collapse and k...

Washington (AFP) - The FBI has launched a criminal probe targeting the container ship that crashed into a major road bridge in Baltimore last month, collapsing it and killing six people, US media reported Monday. The Washington Post described it as a "criminal investigation," and cited two unnamed US officials as saying the probe will look "at least in part" at whether the crew knew the ship had serious systems problems when it left the port. In a statement to AFP, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said that as a matter of policy it does not confirm or deny investigations. But it did say its...

Baltimore (AFP) - With a huge, runaway cargo ship bearing down on one of Baltimore harbor's busiest bridges, local police had just moments to react to a last-ditch Mayday call from its crew. Stopping the drifting container ship Dali was impossible. But officers could still try to prevent drivers from heading into what was about to become a death trap. "Hold all traffic on the Key Bridge. There’s a ship approaching that's just lost their steering, so until they get that under control, we've got to stop all traffic," an officer can be heard saying in police radio excerpts published by Broadcasti...

Washington (AFP) - At least two people were killed and 28 wounded in a mass shooting at a street party early Sunday in the US city of Baltimore, police said.

The motive for the latest chapter in America's gun violence crisis was not immediately known, and police appealed for anyone with information about who was responsible to come forward. "Treat this as if it was your daughter, your son, your brother...

Baltimore (AFP) - After years of staff cuts, shrinking budgets and declining readership, the Baltimore Sun finally has some good news to report about itself: a deal for a new nonprofit group to take over, and potentially revive the struggling newspaper. The plan unveiled in February comes in response to an extraordinary movement -- supported by civic and business leaders, sports figures, journalists and others -- to rescue the 184-year-old newspaper and bring it back to local ownership. The nonprofit Sunlight for All Institute, led by businessman Stewart Bainum, struck the tentative deal to ac...

Baltimore (AFP) - Demon Lane says his east Baltimore neighborhood will still be blighted by drug dealing, deadly gunfire, rat-infested vacant houses and hopelessness, no matter who wins America's presidential election in November.His area is overwhelmingly Black, deeply poor and devastated by decades of neglect, which stands in stark contrast to the pricey condos, new stores and safe streets a few miles away in overwhelmingly white and affluent areas.Baltimore is nearly two-thirds Black, yet it's also been ranked one of the nation's most segregated cities, where experts say the poorest African...
