Marine traffic around the Port of Baltimore is at a standstill after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed Tuesday, an accident that is expected to disrupt shipping and supply chains.

A big container ship collided with a support pillar just before 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, sending the bridge crashing into the water. Authorities say two people were rescued but six are presumed dead after falling into the Patapsco River.
