A significant portion of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed early Tuesday after reportedly being struck by a large container ship around 1:30 am (US local time). Authorities confirmed the rescue of two individuals, with seven still missing, raising fears of potential fatalities. The Baltimore City Fire Department labeled the incident a 'mass-casualty incident,' as reports indicate multiple vehicles fell into the river below. Rescue operations are underway amidst challenges, including a large search area. The vessel involved, 'Dali,' owned by Grace Ocean Pte Ltd, collided with a pillar of the bridge, prompting investigations into the cause.
