A portion of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after it was struck by a large container ship early Tuesday morning, sending construction workers and several vehicles plunging into the frigid water below. The collapse happened around 1:30 a.m. when the large cargo vessel Dali hit one of the bridge's support columns. The collision caused the span to buckle and tumble into the water in just a matter of seconds. A live stream camera captured the shocking spectacle on video.
Biden addresses Baltimore bridge collapseAccording to Marine Traffic and Vessel Finder, the Dali was headed from Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, and flying under a Singapore flag. The ship is about 985 feet long and about 157 feet wide, according to data from Marine Traffic."Never would you think that you would see, physically see, the Key Bridge tumble down like that. It looked like something out of an action movie," said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott at an update Tuesday morning.
