Woke up to this shocking news and couldn't believe my eyes! What the hell was the ship captain thinking? Some have said it is likely intentional, but highly doubt it. These days, there is no news without an element of conspiracy.
- Rescue workers in Baltimore are searching for as many as seven people after a major bridge in the city's port was struck by a container ship early Tuesday, officials said. It is an "active search and rescue" situation, the city's fire chief said, and the number of missing people could change.
- Two people have been saved from the water so far, Baltimore Fire Department Chief James Wallace said.
- Video shows the collapse of the 1.6-mile-long, four-lane bridge after it was hit by the vessel. An official told CNN conditions were unsafe for rescuers due to objects hanging from the structure, freezing conditions and limited visibility.
- The bridge extends over the Patapsco River and serves as the outermost crossing of the Baltimore harbor. It is an essential link of Interstate-695, or the Baltimore Beltway.
