"Ship Collision Causes Baltimore Key Bridge Collapse: Crew Missing, Port and Economy Impacted"

TL;DR Summary
A cargo ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing it to collapse into the Patapsco River and leading to a massive search effort for six missing construction workers. The ship's crew reported a power issue before the collision, and two people have been rescued so far. President Biden pledged federal support for rebuilding the bridge, and the port of Baltimore has suspended vessel traffic. The incident has prompted comparisons to a similar bridge collapse in Florida in 1980.
