BALTIMORE -- A container ship lost power and rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, March 26, 2024, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers searched for survivors.The operators of the ship issued a mayday call moments before the crash that took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Maryland’s governor said..
Cartwright called the collapse a “developing mass casualty event,” though he didn't know at the time how many people were affected.Synergy Marine Group — which manages the ship, called the Dali — confirmed the vessel hit a pillar of the bridge at about 1:30 a.m. while in control of one or more pilots, who are local specialists who help navigate vessels safely into ports. The ship is owned by Grace Ocean Private Ltd.
