“It was like, ‘OK, this is a horrific event. And how are we going to recover from this?'” says Dawn Speakman, founder of Drayage Solutions in Baltimore.

The ironworkers, painters and others who constructed the bridge thought it would outlive them.

Many who worked on the Francis Scott Key Bridge considered it to be a monument to their work. What happens when that monument is gone?

Tradepoint Atlantic, southeast of the collapsed Francis Scott Key bridge, is the only terminal accepting cargo ships. And it’s expanding.

Previously, 30,000 cars and trucks would traverse the Francis Scott Key daily. Now all those vehicles have to find other routes.

Ship crews are used to a life in motion. Now the mostly international workers could be stuck in port for weeks.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse left eight cargo ships and crews stranded indefinitely. The port’s chaplain is offering chocolate, wi-fi hotspots, and rides to the shopping mall.

We tag along with a port chaplain who’s helping care for stranded crew members, some of whom lack visas and are unable to go ashore.

Work has been disrupted for tens of thousands of people.

That includes longshoremen who unload container ships, warehouse workers who store the goods and restaurant servers who feed them all.
