Maryland Bridge Collapse: 6 People Missing in Tragic Incident
The Maryland bridge collapse has sparked concern as six individuals are reported missing following the tragic incident. The collapse occurred under circumstances yet to be determined, raising questions about infrastructure safety and emergency response protocols. Authorities are actively conducting search and rescue operations to locate the missing individuals amidst the rubble. Stay updated on the latest developments and safety advisories regarding this unfortunate event.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed at 1:27 a.m. ET Tuesday after it was struck by a 984-foot cargo ship.
If you're just reading in, here's where things stand now:
Biden wants the federal government to pay: President Joe Biden said Tuesday he wants the federal government to bear the full cost of rebuilding the collapsed bridge, noting that it will not wait for the company that owns the container ship DALI to shoulder the costs. Funding could come from the Federal Highway Administration as well as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, but it may require additional funding from Congress.
Six people remain missing: Maryland Transportation Secretary Paul Wiedefeld confirmed in a press briefing that eight people were on the bridge at the time of the collapse. At least two people have already been rescued — one was taken to a hospital and has since been discharged, and the other is fine. The search continues for the other six.
Tide conditions could complicate search: Authorities are carrying out a search and rescue operation using sonar and infrared technologies as well as drones, officials said. However, weather conditions in and above the water of the Patapsco River could complicate things. Officials may have to deal with coastal flood advisories, dangerous rip currents, cold water temperatures, and tidal flow. So far, they have identified vehicles submerged in the water.
How authorities minimized impact: Radio traffic in the moments before a cargo ship collided with the bridge captured how authorities stopped traffic and worked to clear the bridge seconds before the impact, including warnings of the ship approaching the bridge. CNN has confirmed that the bridge collapsed at 1:27 a.m. ET.
