Marking a solemn year since the Francis Scott Key Bridge's collapse, Maryland Public Television and WBAL-TV have joined forces to offer a documentary that delves into the catastrophe and its aftermath. "Key Bridge Disaster: Reflect, Recover, Rebuild" is scheduled to air on March 19th at 8 p.m. on MPT-HD, with an additional airing on WBAL-TV at 7 p.m., as reported by the Baltimore Fishbowl. The collaboration has spanned over nine months, promising a comprehensive examination of the events, from when the container ship Dali collided with the bridge, causing its destructive fall, to current rebuilding efforts.

The documentary is set to premiere online and can be streamed live or on demand through the PBS app and MPT's digital platforms. Through interviews with local stakeholders and personal accounts from heroes on the front line, the film aims to take a poignant look at the salvage operation, the hardship the community bears, and the economic aftermath. Offering a narrative of restoration, viewers will hear stories from longshoremen to truck drivers, unfolding the collective bid to not only recover but also to re-establish Baltimore as a vibrant economic landscape. However, the necessity to quickly secure federal government funding for a new bridge design has been one crucial step towards this recovery, as reported by the NottinghamMD.

The Middle River Volunteer Fire & Rescue Company, the U.S. Coast Guard, and other responding agencies speak candidly about their efforts in the critical moments and days following the disaster. Their personal narratives underscore the resilience and spirit of Maryland's response teams, according to an interview conducted by MPT anchor Jeff Salkin and captured in the documentary.
