New economic landscape rises where historic steel mill stood

The Bethlehem steel mill in Maryland was once the largest working mill in the world, employing 30,000 people at its peak in the 1950's. The collapse of the American steel industry forced the mill into bankruptcy, closing for good in 2012. Now, new economic opportunities are rising on the land where the mill once stood. Special Correspondent Karla Murthy reports from Baltimore County.
