The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has provided an update on the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore that occurred early Tuesday after being struck by a container ship. The incident has left at least six individuals unaccounted for, prompting ongoing search and rescue efforts. Authorities have confirmed that a crew of construction workers was present on the bridge at the time of its collapse.
In response to the tragic event, the NTSB swiftly deployed a specialized investigative team, known as a 'go team,' to examine the circumstances surrounding the bridge collapse. This team comprises technical experts and specialists from various disciplines within the agency, all of whom are on rotational duty assignment to ensure a prompt and thorough investigation.
