Biden Addresses Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse: Accidental Incident Amidst Transport Misstatement

President Joe Biden addressed the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge following a collision with the cargo vessel Dali.

Biden clarified it as an accident, dismissing claims of a terror attack. He mistakenly claimed to have transited the bridge by train, sparking criticism for its lack of train tracks. Conservative commentators like Collin Rugg and Alan Sanders highlighted this discrepancy.

Biden pledged federal support for recovery efforts and emphasized the incident’s accidental nature, vowing to rebuild the port. Despite his gaffe, he maintained the administration’s stance that the collapse was not intentional.
