The Coast Guard confirmed the worst: six lives were lost after a cargo ship slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Search efforts have ended, but the search for answers has just begun. The cause? A “power issue” that left the ship barreling towards the bridge at high speed. A distress call went out, but it was too late. Governor Moore vowed to rebuild the bridge, a monument not just to the city’s infrastructure, but to the lives tragically cut short.

President Biden stepped in, pledging to fully fund the rebuilding effort and get Baltimore’s vital port operational again. On the same note, even Davis felt bad for his hometown people. On X, he wrote, “Prayers out for all the families affected by the bridge collapsing in Baltimore this morning…” Davis is getting ready to face his next opponent, Frank Martin soon, but this comes as a great setback for the boxer.
