Body camera video captures first reactions to Baltimore bridge collapse

Body camera video captured the shocked reactions of first responders in the aftermath of the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, which killed six men. The recordings show officers from the Maryland Natural Resources Police expressing disbelief as they approached the collapsed bridge site. The collapse was caused by a massive container ship crashing into one of the bridge’s support pylons, leading to a criminal probe by the FBI. The responders were unsure of how many people needed rescuing and were assessing injuries, with one responder noting the catastrophic nature of the incident.
