Baltimore Cargo Ship Explosion: A dramatic explosion on a registered cargo ship registered in Liberia, sent a fire ball and thick smoke feathers to the sky via Baltimore on Monday evening, and this year’s bridge disaster caused concern. The explosion was close to the point where the Francis Scott Key Bridge hit another ship in W-Sapphire, a ship of 751 meters through the Patapsco River. Authorities, the explosion came from an inadequate fire on the deck, but the exact why is still under investigation, he said.

Security measures
While researchers were trying to determine what triggered the explosion, the US established a security zone of 2,000 yards around the Coast Guard Zone. W-Sapphire, built in 2012, was reported to go to Mauritius Port Louis during the incident.
The video images shared on social media showed the clouds of the big dark smoke rising from the ship and triggered the first fears of the repetition of the previous sea accident.
It still bothers the city
Many calm, especially because Baltimore Port is an important entry point for imported automobiles and cargo, reminded the collapse of the tragic Francis Scott Key bridge, which demanded six lives and has a great impact on US supply chains. Some witnesses initially believed that the explosion on Monday was about demolition work in the bridge area.
Currently, the authorities say there is no connection between this explosion and the March bridge disaster – but for Baltimore, two events hit a similar nerve.
