An illustration depicting the Baltimore bridge collapse is being slammed on X, with netizens describing the cartoon as racist.
The graphical representation shared on March 27 by an X handle called Foxford Comics showed men of Indian origin dressed only in loincloths preparing for the impending crash.
The graphic also had the audio of people swearing at each other with a strong Indian accent in English. &nbsp;
Many netizens slammed the racist depiction of Indians and also showed the tragic incident in a poor light.
"It's shameful that people are mocking Indian Crew for the tragic incident," an X user who goes by the name Pooka Sangwan said.
"This racist trash is one of the reasons that many Indians still don&rsquo;t prefer the United States, apart from the cheap way in which your gun laws enable your citizens to dispose our brethren due to the same racist agenda without fear," another user said.&nbsp;
"I can&rsquo;t believe that in 2024, someone would make light of such an unfortunate incident by exposing their small-mindedness and racialism to the world in such a non-humorous way!" the user added.
As many as 22 Indian crew onboard the Singapore-flagged container ship Dali died after it lost power and crashed into a concrete pier supporting the bridge on March 26.
Within seconds almost the entire bridge collapsed and plunged into what officials said was roughly 50 feet of frigid water below.
Biden praised the ship's crew, most of whom were Indians for their prompt Mayday call which prompted authorities to scramble to shut down traffic to the bridge, potentially saving lives.

Authorities plan a salvage operation to remove the superstructure, so its safe for divers to go back in and recover the rest of the bodies.

Two bodies found as Baltimore bridge collapse moves from recovery to salvage

Authorities plan a salvage operation to remove the superstructure, so its safe for divers to go back in and recover the rest of the bodies.

The bodies of two construction workers were found in the cold waters of Baltimore harbor Wednesday, trapped in their red pick-up truck after a giant cargo ship slammed into the bridge they had been filling potholes on, causing a thunderous collapse.
Maryland police announced the grim discovery at a press conference, adding that sonar shows what they believe are more vehicles trapped within the concrete and twisted steel debris of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
Six of the eight-man construction crew are believed to have been killed, with four bodies yet to be found.
Warning that it was not safe for divers to try to penetrate the wreckage, police told a press conference that they were shifting to a salvage operation, removing the superstructure and then sending divers back in to recover the rest of the bodies.
"Based on sonar scans, we firmly believe that the vehicles are encased in the superstructure and concrete that we tragically saw come down," Colonel Roland Butler, the superintendent of Maryland's state police, told a press conference.
The container ship Dali, about 1,000 feet (300 meters) long, and piled high with cargo, was leaving the busy port at 1:30 am Tuesday en route to Asia when power failed and the vessel crashed straight into a support column.
Nearly the entire steel structure -- crossed by tens of thousands of motorists each day -- collapsed within seconds, cascading over the bow of the ship, blocking one of the busiest US trading ports.
The ship issued a Mayday call in the moments before the collision, prompting police to rush to stop traffic on the bridge -- likely saving lives.
But there was no chance to evacuate the eight workers filling potholes on the road directly above the oncoming ship.
Butler named the two victims found Wednesday as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, a 35-year-old who had lived in Baltimore but was originally from Mexico, and his 26-year-old colleague Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, who lived in the suburb of Dundalk but came from Guatemala.
They were found in 25 feet of water, he said.
Two others were pulled from the water alive in the moments after the collapse early Tuesday. One was uninjured, while the second was released from hospital Wednesday, Butler said.
Four more workers are presumed dead, vanished into the swirling currents and crumpled tangle of wrecked girders and pylons.

The Baltimore bridge collapse has threatened the 2.5 million tons of coal, hundreds of cars made by Ford Motor and General Motors, lumber and gypsum

Baltimore Bridge Collapse threatens global supply chain 

<h2>The Baltimore bridge collapse has threatened the 2.5 million tons of coal, hundreds of cars made by Ford Motor and General Motors, lumber and gypsum</h2>

The catastrophic collapse of Baltimore bridge is set to disrupt the global supply chain in the days to come. As per Bloomberg, as much as 2.5 million tons of coal, hundreds of cars made by Ford Motor Co., and General Motors Co., and lumber and gypsum are threatened with disruption after the container ship Dali slammed into and brought down Baltimore&rsquo;s Francis Scott Key Bridge in the early hours of Tuesday.
<h3>Supply chain disruption</h3>
The global supply chain which has already weakened by drought in Panama and missile attacks on Red Sea shipping by Yemen-based Houthi militants has come under the spotlight again. As per Bloomberg, docks in New Jersey and Virginia face the threat of being overwhelmed by traffic that&rsquo;s being forced away from Baltimore which is one of the busiest ports on the US East Coast.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s a large port with a lot of flow through it, so it&rsquo;s going to have an impact,&rdquo; John Lawler, Ford&rsquo;s chief financial officer, told Bloomberg TV. &ldquo;We&rsquo;ll work on the workarounds. We&rsquo;ll have to divert parts to other ports along the East Coast or elsewhere in the country.&rdquo;
<h3>Baltimore's capacity</h3>
As per S&amp;P Global Market Intelligence, Baltimore only handled 3% of all East Coast and Gulf Coast imports in the year through Jan. 31. However, Baltimore is important to cars and light trucks with European carmakers such as Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Volkswagen AG and BMW operating facilities in and around the port. The port is also the second-largest terminal for US exports of coal, with a shutdown potentially hitting shipments to India.
As per IHS Markit and Wood Mackenzie&rsquo;s Genscape, about a dozen large vessels are stuck inside Baltimore&rsquo;s harbor as well as a similar number of tug boats. The list also includes cargo ships, automobile carriers and a tanker named the Palanca Rio.
Meanwhile the American Trucking Associations have estimated that the annual value of goods is going over $28 billion.&nbsp;
&ldquo;We rely on our infrastructure systems for our daily needs, for a huge amount of the goods that we get in the United States from overseas and to have it cut off so suddenly, it&rsquo;s a huge crisis,&rdquo; Yonah Freemark, a researcher at the Urban Institute told Bloomberg.
The bridge was constructed in 1977 and took 4 years to complete. The cost at the time of construction was around $141 million, according to one estimate.
United States President Joe Biden has said that the federal government would pay for the reconstruction and vowed &ldquo;to move heaven and earth to reopen the port and rebuild the bridge.&rdquo;

All six presumed dead were members of a nighttime construction crew who were repairing potholes on the Francis Scott Key Bridge when a packed cargo ship slammed into a it.

Authorities on Tuesday suspended their search for six people missing after a packed cargo ship slammed into a Baltimore bridge, causing it to collapse and blocking one of the busiest US commercial harbors.
"Based on the length of time that we've gone in this search, the extensive search efforts that we put into it, the water temperature... at this point we do not believe that we're going to find any of these individuals still alive," US Coast Guard Rear Admiral Shannon Gilreath told a press conference as night fell.
All six people were members of a nighttime construction crew who were repairing potholes on the Francis Scott Key Bridge when disaster struck not long after midnight.
"We're going away from the search and rescue portion to a recovery operation," said Roland Butler, Maryland's secretary of state police.
He said the temperatures and currents were making it difficult for divers to continue working underwater, but that boats would continue patrolling overnight.
Video footage showed the packed container ship slamming into one of the bridge's supports, causing the 1977-built steel structure to then collapse like a deck of cards.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore said earlier that quick thinking by authorities once the ship issued a Mayday call allowed them to stop vehicles from driving onto the bridge.
"These people are heroes. They saved lives last night," he told a press conference.
The FBI and other agencies stressed that there was no known connection to terrorism.
"The preliminary investigation points to an accident," Moore said.
The governor, a rising star in the Democratic party, also said there was no indication that the bridge was structurally at fault, noting that it "was actually fully up to code."
"The crew that was out there working was basically repairing potholes, just so you understand that had nothing to do with a structural issue at all," Paul Wiedefeld, the Maryland transportation chief, said.
President Joe Biden called the collapse a "terrible accident," and pledged to get the port reopened and the bridge rebuilt.
Two of the missing workers were from Guatemala, the country's foreign ministry said.
<h3>Attempt to drop anchors</h3>
Details emerged on how the crew tried to avert disaster after their ship lost power and began careening toward the bridge.
"Just prior to the incident, the vessel, Dali, had experienced momentary loss of propulsion. As a result, it was unable to maintain the desired heading and collided," said the maritime authority for Singapore, where the Dali is flagged.
This authority said the ship's management company, Synergy Marine Pte Ltd, reported the crew "dropped anchors" in a last-ditch attempt to hold the ship back.
Federal investigators expect recordings from the vessel to be critical to help determine what happened, said Jennifer Homendy, head of the National Transportation Safety Board, which is overseeing the investigation.
