A major disaster struck Baltimore as the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed following a collision with a container ship. The bridge, which carries Interstate 695 across the Patapsco River, suffered a partial collapse, sending vehicles and people plunging into the water. Emergency crews raced to the scene to rescue two individuals while several others remained missing. Video footage obtained by CNN captured the dramatic moment when the bridge crumbled after being struck by the ship.
The chaos unfolded in the early hours of Tuesday, leaving the city in a state of shock and disbelief. The bridge, a crucial transportation link, now lay in ruins, with authorities scrambling to assess the extent of the damage. Questions arose about the design factors that may have contributed to the collapse, with structural engineers weighing in on the potential causes. The cargo ship's crew reportedly issued a distress call, indicating a loss of power and propulsion before the fateful collision.
As investigations into the incident continue, the impact of the bridge collapse reverberates throughout Baltimore. The community grapples with the aftermath of this catastrophic event, emphasizing the need for thorough review and safety measures in infrastructure projects. The Francis Scott Key Bridge, once a bustling thoroughfare, now serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of man-made structures in the face of unexpected challenges.
