I didn't realize Baltimore was so important for the car market of the Midwest and East Coast. Apparently 800,000+ cars are delivered per year through the Port of Baltimore, but with the bridge collapse today it sounds like shipments could cause some car market issues for a swath of the country.

Thanks for the perspective in the comments! Been though a few wrecked bridges in Florida. It's a far, far, far bigger deal than most think.
