Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott joined CNN on Tuesday to discuss the state of a collapsed bridge in the city and urged news networks to stop airing the footage of the collapse as it is “traumatizing our community.”
The Francis Scott Key Bridge, a major bridge in Baltimore collapsed on Tuesday after being hit by a cargo container ship, sending at least eight people into the Patapsco River. As a National Transportation Safety Board team is dispatched to the site of the collapse, preliminary investigations indicated that the incident was an accident.
