A quick update on the Key Bridge disaster, via the Balmer Sun, Environmental groups grateful but vigilant after Key Bridge collapse. No significant leaks of hazardous materials from the cargo or ship so far. "Dennison . . . said he heard the sheen could have been a small amount of “hydraulic fluid from the ship’s bow thruster.” “It’s a very contained, small leak, considering the magnitude of what was carried on the ship,” Dennison said. “They were ready to go to Sri Lanka. They had a full load of fuel.” Only a million gallon. Families of Key Bridge collapse victims rely on translators to navigate life: ‘When someone cries, I cry’. So they don't speak English, but there's no word on whether they are/were legal or illegal immigrants. I'm guessing that means the later. Can a new Key Bridge keep the old, slave-owning name? The Sun staff waffles.
