An explosion shook the waters close to Baltimore’s Key Bridge Monday night however fortunately, it wasn’t the tragedy it may’ve been.
Baltimore Metropolis Hearth officers say the blast broke out aboard a 751-foot bulk service full of coal round 6:28 PM, simply after leaving the dock. The huge ship — carrying 23 crew members — instantly drew an emergency response by each land and water. Officers say everybody onboard is secure and accounted for.
The aftermath appeared intense as an enormous black plume of smoke shot into the sky, hovering over the water, startling close by residents. The Coast Guard says they’re investigating what brought on the hearth.
Backside line — it was a scary scene on the water, however a fortunate escape for the crew.
