The Francis Scott Key Bridge was considered a cultural and tourist icon of the city of Baltimore. Its structure and connection to American history attracted many tourists around the world.

After the collapse of the bridge, in the early hours of Tuesday, March 26, many Internet users have remembered the series The Wire in which the bridge was the scene of several dramatic scenes during its five seasons.

The Wire is a police series in which a murder related to the world of drugs is investigated. A police officer is in charge of arresting members of an important cartel. Police corruption, fragile loyalties within cartels and the misery linked to drug trafficking are some of the problems reported in this series.

The journalist and writer David Simon, who for years was a reporter for the black chronicle of Baltimore, is part of the team of writers and directors of the series, through his social networks, shared a message in the face of the tragedy.
