Tragedy struck in Baltimore as the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in the early hours of Tuesday, leaving six people presumed dead. The catastrophic event occurred when a cargo ship collided with the bridge around 1:30 a.m. ET.
According to officials, eight individuals were on the bridge at the time of the collapse. Two people were rescued, with one being discharged from the hospital. The Coast Guard has ceased its active search-and-rescue operation for the missing construction workers, transitioning to a different phase as hopes of finding them alive diminish.
