What do we know about the Francis Scott Key Bridge?
The metal truss-style bridge at the center of this story was one of three ways to cross the Baltimore Harbor and saw around 31,000 vehicles cross it a day - that's a staggering 11.3 million vehicles a year.
Opening in 1977, the now-destroyed structure had four lanes and sat 185 feet above the Patapsco River. It spanned 1.6 miles (2.6 km).
Francis Scott Key wrote 'The Star-Spangled Banner' aboard a British ship sailing the Patapsco River during the War of 1812. These days, a red, white, and blue buoy marks the spot where the ship (HMS Tonnant) was anchored at the time.
