Recovery efforts resumed Wednesday for the six construction workers who are presumed dead after a cargo ship hit a pillar of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing the structure to collapse.

1 hour agoThis satellite image provided by Maxar Technologies shows a view of the Francis Scott Key Bridge that was struck by a container ship in Baltimore, Md., on Tuesday, March 26, 2024. The container ship lost power and rammed into the major bridge causing the span to buckle into the river below.

Federal and state officials have said the crash appeared to be an accident. Investigators on Wednesday plan to collect evidence on the ship, including electronics and paperwork, said National Transportation Safety Board Chair Jennifer Homendy. Police said there is no evidence anyone went into the water other than the workers, though they had not discounted the possibility.

“I know that a month ago, I was there, and I know what it feels like when the trailers pass,” Campos said. “Imagine knowing that is falling. It is so hard. One would not know what to do.” “Losing this bridge will devastate the entire area, as well as the entire East Coast,” state Sen. Johnny Ray Salling said.

The 985-foot-long Dali was headed from Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, and flying under a Singapore flag, according to data from Marine Traffic.

Dallas Police Officer Shot in Undercover Operation on Road to RecoveryThe Dallas police officer who was shot overnight Wednesday said he is on the road to recovery. Tyler Morris suffered a bullet wound in his hip while working undercover in Southeast Oak Cliff. Police said he was following a car that was driving erratically. Someone in that car fired at Morris, and the round went through the driver's side door of the officer’s unmarked car. Morris wrote in a social media post that his hip is broken, and right now, he doesn't have much feeling in his left leg. But after two surgeries, he said his prognosis is good. The Dallas Police Association president said he's disappointed to hear the suspects are all very young. "It's shocking and it almost leaves you speechless. How do you answer that? Because the things that these individuals are thinking, these kids, what they are thinking of wasn't what we were thinking when we were growing up, so it’s very difficult to understand," Jaime Castro said. Jaheart Nickleberry, 17, faces several charges, including aggravated assault, and a 15-year-old girl is charged with evading arrest.
