Large-scale deployment of rescue workers in Baltimore after a bridge collapsed. On Tuesday night, a container ship rammed the Francis Scott Key Bridge. A few moments later, most of the bridge collapses. A YouTube live stream records the moment.
It can be seen that several vehicles were apparently driving on the bridge at the time of the collapse. According to authorities, at least twenty people are being sought, although more are suspected to be missing. According to a spokesman for the fire department, the situation is currently still confusing and dangerous for the rescue workers because individual parts of the bridge are hanging on the pillars and could fall into the water. According to the shipping company, the ship's crew was uninjured.
The bridge is a good 2.5 kilometers long and crosses the Patapsco River in the port of Baltimore.
