Immediately after the accident, it was predicted that up to 20 people would be missing, but as the ship reported distress before the collision and the authorities controlled traffic on the bridge in advance, the damage was limited to that extent.
It didn't come out. In the early hours of the 26th (local time), the Francis Scott Key Bridge, a large bridge with a length of 2.6 km at the entrance to the Port of Baltimore, Maryland, in the eastern United States, was destroyed.
Most of them were destroyed by a collision with a Tena vessel. The collision caused the bridge to collapse from its center. The ship reportedly had problems with its power and was unable to move properly.
At the time of the accident, road repair work on the bridge was underway and some vehicles crashed. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott said, ``Key Bridge collapses like this.''
I never thought it would fall. "It's an event straight out of an action movie," he said, calling it "an unbelievable tragedy." A total of eight people crashed, two of whom were rescued. One of them was seriously injured
He was injured and is receiving treatment at a trauma center. The ship involved in the collision was the Singaporean-registered container ship Dali, which departed from Baltimore at 1 a.m. and headed to Colombo, Sri Lanka.
I was on my way there. The ship collided with a pier and a fire briefly broke out on the ship, but the fire was quickly extinguished and all 22 sailors were found safe.
The Key Bridge is a 2.6 km long bridge that crosses the outer perimeter of the Port of Baltimore. Opened in 1977
This bridge is part of Interstate 695. The Port of Baltimore is one of the busiest ports on the eastern U.S. coast, and shipping traffic was disrupted by the incident.
