Context: The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore (the USA) collapsed early 25th March 2024 after a column was hit by a large container ship, sending vehicles and people into the Patapsco River.

Explanation:

• The Patapsco River is a 39-mile-long (63 km) river in central Maryland which flows into the Chesapeake Bay in the USA.
• The river’s tidal portion forms the harbor for the city of Baltimore. With its South Branch, the Patapsco forms the northern border of Howard County, Maryland.
