[Scan-DC] Baltimore Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse

[Joseph M. Durnal]

Seems like the first call from the broadcastify archives was from Key
Bridge Maintenance at 1:28:14am (those time stamps can be a little behind,
but usually not much).  Video timestamp shows the  impact at 1:28:45am.
MDTA Police first call at 1:32.  Baltimore City Fire  dispatch 1:39.
Baltimore County sent an engine to the EZ Pass at 1:41, and dispatched a
rescue assignment at 1:49.  Can't seem to find any marine radio recordings
for the area.

Having boated in the area, I know there are concrete pillars in line with
the main bridge pillars, it had to be pretty unlucky to miss one of them
and hit  the bridge.
