A Singapore-flagged cargo ship, The Dali, collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing its collapse.

The incident led to at least two rescues and eight victims identified, with one person hospitalized and six bridge workers missing.

Search and rescue efforts are being conducted by the Baltimore Fire Department and the U.S. Coast Guard, facing challenges due to nighttime conditions and the river's depth.

Bridge contractors were conducting repairs during the collapse, and support facilities with mental health professionals have been set up for families of the victims.

President Joe Biden has committed to federal funding for bridge reconstruction, while Governor Wes Moore has declared a state of emergency in Maryland.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash, with the American Pilots’ Association highlighting the rarity of such power loss incidents.

Synergy Marine Group has not made a formal statement about the crash but emphasizes their commitment to safety measures.

The collapse disrupts Baltimore's transport infrastructure, significantly affecting working-class community access to employment in the harbor area.
