The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland collapsed into the Patapsco River early Tuesday morning, after a cargo ship struck one of its support columns. The ensuing collapse triggered a mass casualty event.
FBI Baltimore personnel are on the scene and assisting with first responders at the site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said Tuesday. The FBI investigated if there was any terrorism connection to the disaster, which there is not, Maryland Secretary of Transportation Paul Wiedefeld told reporters at a press conference.
It looked like something out of an action movie,” Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said, calling it an 'unthinkable tragedy.' Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace told reporters that two people were pulled from the bridge, one in serious condition. He said authorities 'may be looking for upwards of seven people,' but that number could change.
