Watch: Baltimore bridge demolished with controlled explosions

Part of a collapsed bridge in Baltimore has been deliberately destroyed, clearing the way for the eventual full return of shipping through one of the busiest sea routes in the US.

A ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge on 26 March, causing it to collapse and killing six construction workers.

Monday's demolition broke apart chunks of the collapsed bridge.
