In the early hours of Tuesday morning in Baltimore, a cargo ship lost power and collided with a major bridge, resulting in the bridge’s rapid collapse and immersion into the river below. This devastating incident, which occurred in mere seconds, poses significant disruptions to a crucial shipping port for potentially months. Tragically, six individuals are missing and presumed deceased, prompting authorities to suspend search efforts until Wednesday morning.

As Maryland's governor revealed, the ship’s crew issued a distress signal just moments before the collision, allowing authorities to minimize traffic on the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

In response to the tragedy, Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott is receiving accolades online for his compassionate response to a question about the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Maryland. During a press conference on Tuesday addressing the incident, Scott fielded questions regarding the timeline for rebuilding the bridge. His response was swift and emphatic. “We shouldn’t even be having that discussion right now,” Scott said. “The discussion right now should be about the people, the souls, the lives that we’re trying to save.”
