In the rush to cover the Baltimore bridge disaster, Sky’s Sharri Markson broadcast dramatic vision of an explosion on a bridge, reporting it was the same Maryland crossing.

Sky News guest Steve Price speculated if terrorism was at play.

But the vision is not from Baltimore, it is from Crimea and of the Kerch bridge in 2022.

Soon after, Markson acknowledged the error but did not apologise.
