Officials are currently engaged in search and rescue operations in Baltimore following a tragic incident where a cargo ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge, leading to its collapse. The Maryland Transportation Secretary has reported that at least eight individuals were on the bridge at the time of the collapse, with six individuals still unaccounted for.
The search and rescue efforts are facing challenges due to adverse weather conditions in the area. Meteorologists have highlighted that a full moon spring tide is causing coastal flood advisories around the Chesapeake Bay and dangerous rip currents. These conditions could complicate the ongoing operations and pose risks to both rescuers and potential survivors.
