Maxar Technologies captured satellite images of the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, which was struck by a giant cargo ship early on Tuesday (March 26). Most of the 1.6-mile (2.57 km) long bridge crumbled within minutes, sending people and vehicles into the icy waters of the Patapsco River.
The 984-foot-long cargo ship, named Dali, was just 30 minutes into its 27-day journey to Colombo, Sri Lanka when it lost all power and rammed into one of the bridge's critical pillars. Two of the eight workers who were fixing potholes on the bridge at the time of its collapse were rescued on Tuesday, after which rescue efforts were halted due to dangerous river conditions.
