Parts of the Francis Scott Key Bridge remain after a container ship collided with a support Tuesday, March 26, 2024, in Baltimore. The major bridge in Baltimore snapped and collapsed after a container ship rammed into it early Tuesday. A part of a Baltimore bridge serving as both an essential highway artery and a hub for shipping along the East Coast collapsed early Tuesday morning after a container ship crashed into it, sending people into the water.
The collision has spurred a large search-and-rescue operation, and it was unclear how many people were in the Patapsco River. However, Kevin Cartwight, the Baltimore City Fire Department’s director of communications, told NPR that seven people had fallen into the river and were being searched for. He called the collision and collapse a “developing mass casualty event,” The Associated Press reported.The ship that collided with the bridge was the Dali, a 948-foot container ship, U.S.
The bridge is part of I-695, an arterial of Interstate 95, a major highway running north-south along the Eastern seaboard of the U.S.and is located about 45 miles northeast of Washington, D.C.Copyright 2024 NPR. To see more, visit https://www.npr.org.
