Collapse of Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, which recently collapsed after being hit by a cargo ship, holds historical significance due to its proximity to the site where Francis Scott Key witnessed the failed British bombardment of Fort McHenry in 1814. The bombardment was a key event in the War of 1812, inspiring Key to write what later became the U.S. national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner.
