#ArticleSummary: The Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed after being hit by a container ship, sending vehicles into the river. The incident is being treated as a developing mass casualty event. Emergency responders are searching for people in the water, and rescue efforts are ongoing. The bridge, which spans the Patapsco River, is a vital transportation artery. The Key Bridge, inaugurated in 1977, crosses the Patapsco River, a crucial waterway that, in conjunction with the Port of Baltimore, serves as a central shipping hub on the East Coast. The bridge is dedicated to Francis Scott Key, the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner", the writer of US national anthem. Francis Scott Key was a prominent lawyer and poet who penned the lyrics to the anthem during the War of 1812. The naming of the bridge after him reflects his historical importance and his connection to the city of Baltimore. Authorities are still determining the full impact of the collapse and working to rescue those affected.

Firstly, I am sorry U.S. for this tragic accident. My condolence for your loss and hope safety is soon restored.

US was the first place I lived abroad and the longest I lived abroad was in US, not to mention my scientific research training began in US with PhD. Sure I had MS in India thanks to Great Britain who made opportunities for women to get education (before that women were not allowed education in barbaric India, like how you see now in barbaric jihadi Muslim countries). I got another MS in US too in addition to PhD in US, but its in PhD that one starts exploring the unknown, before that you're just catching up with whats known, doing projects exploring the known, its in PhD that you become a scientist (see to know more about PhD, making of scientist "Naturally Obsessed: The Making of a Scientist" by #ColumbiaUniversity #US #IvyLeague #IMDB https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1470891). When I became a scientist, it was a turning point, cause its where I became one with my true self, that of being a scientist, something I always wanted to be.

Taken together, I am very grateful to UK and US, for my education and research, ergo my life. Ergo, its very hard for me to revisit the part of US-UK history that Francis Scott Key and Thomas Paine are connected with, that is the War of 1812 against you know who, UK (see ref). Let me explain. US were not terrorists like those of India and South Africa, who used terrorism in name of freedom fight. US and UK actually fought a war fair and square with armies no terrorism, similar to say 100 year war between UK and France. I am glad there is peace now between them, and between North America, UK, EU, Australia/New Zealand, sure there differences but these get handled as kin and friends should, diplomatically through negotiation, many examples explained by #RogerFisher #WilliamUry #HenryKissinger (ref). I do hope someday, US will join Commonwealth, acknowledging their proud British and European origins, and make amends for plagiarizing Edith Piaf song La Vien Rose, France's national symbol, this same France gave US their national symbol statue of liberty, so its really shameful to steal their national symbol. UK also I hope will seal their position as epitome of justice forever, by revisiting the miscarriage of justice for Sir Issac Newton vs Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz case handled by Royal Society, acknowledging that the latter did original work with calculus and did not steal from Newton's work (their works are very different and Leibniz never saw Newtons's work as he was accused, the Princess of Whales of that time had supported Leibniz). In my fantastic 222 dedications of fairwissenschaft, I have actively avoided adding Francis Scott Key and Thomas Paine, but I will include them in fantastic 250.
