The morning silence shattered as the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore met its unexpected fate, crumbling into the sea in a breathtaking cascade of steel and concrete.

Imagine if Key got his wish of sending them back to Africa.
The WH - Fedgov was awfully quick to volunteer our money to fully fix/replace that State bridge. I’d say a name change is 100% guarantee.
