President Joe Biden called the collapse a 'terrible accident,' and pledged to get the port reopened and the bridge rebuilt.
This picture shows part of the steel frame of the Francis Scott Key Bridge sitting on top of the container ship Dali after the bridge collapsed in Baltimore, Maryland, on March 26, 2024. Authorities on Tuesday suspended their search for six people missing after a packed cargo ship slammed into a Baltimore bridge, causing it to collapse and blocking one of the busiest US commercial harbors.
He said the temperatures and currents were making it difficult for divers to continue working underwater, but that boats would continue patrolling overnight.Video footage showed the packed container ship slamming into one of the bridge’s supports, causing the 1977-built steel structure to collapse like a deck of cards.
Governor Moore, a rising star in the Democratic party, told CNN that the focus was now to make sure victims’ families “can find closure.” “Just prior to the incident, the vessel, Dali, had experienced momentary loss of propulsion. As a result, it was unable to maintain the desired heading and collided,” said the maritime authority for Singapore, where the Dali is flagged.
Butler, with Maryland state police, said divers on Wednesday morning will “begin a more detailed search to do our very best to recover those six missing people.”
