RESTRICTION SUMMARY:

ASSOCIATED PRESS
Baltimore -- 26 March 2024
1. Various shots of container ship, damage to bridge, shot from boat in river
2. Long shot of boat, bridge from shore
STORYLINE:
A container ship lost power and rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore, causing the span to buckle into the river below.

The collapsed bridge, the container ship and a Coast Guard patrol vessel can be seen from a boat in the river.

The collapse plunged a construction crew into the dangerously cold waters. Rescuers pulled out two people, but six others were missing and presumed dead.

The ship’s crew issued a mayday call moments before the crash took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The Maryland governor said the mayday enabled authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span.

The ship struck one of the bridge’s supports, causing the structure to collapse like a toy. It tumbled into the water in a matter of seconds
