U.S. bridge collapse accident: military dispatched to secure shipping route; rescue operations for missing persons canceled.
Coast Guard believes six missing people may be alive after a large cargo ship collided with a bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, eastern United States. In this accident, the entrance to the Port of Baltimore was blocked by a collapsed bridge, making it impossible for ships to enter or leave the port. American media have reported that many ships will be forced to use other ports on the East Coast, such as New York.
