With the lone cone of the catastrophe, staying at its post, bravely doing what it is supposed to do, despite its charges being long gone and in another place, and for all time, resting in peace. The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was hit by the container ship  Dali  at approximately  1:28 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, March 26, 2024 . The vessel lost power and struck a key support pier, causing the entire bridge structure to collapse into the Patapsco River within seconds.
