Baltimore Bridge Collapsed “Like A House Of Cards Crumbling Down” | Rescue Operation Continues

A massive freight ship stacked high with containers smashed into a bridge while sailing out of Baltimore in the early hours of of Tuesday, sending cars and people into the river below and closing one of the busiest ports on the US Eastern Seaboard.

Rescuers pulled out two survivors, one of whom is in a critical condition in hospital, and were searching for more in the Patapsco River after huge metal spans of the 1.6-mile Francis Scott Key Bridge crumpled into the icy water at around 1.30 am.

The ship reported a power issue and officials halted the flow of traffic on the bridge between the mayday call and the collision, Maryland Governor Wes Moore said at a briefing.

The Talk panel Ian Collins, JJ Anisiobi, Emma Woolf, Esther Krakue and Lord Ed Vaizey discuss the story.
