The devastating impact of the Baltimore Bridge collapse is being felt by the United States economy.
CNN reporter Tommie Clark says 15,000 jobs “depend directly” on the port of Baltimore.
“More than 100,000 other jobs linked to it,” she said.
“The port handles billions of dollars worth of foreign cargo each year. It also manages heavy farm machinery, imported sugar and coal exports.
“The extent of the impact hinges on how long the channel is closed.”
