Six workers presumed dead after crippled cargo ship knocks down Baltimore bridge

Six workers were missing and presumed dead after a cargo ship collided with a bridge in Baltimore Harbor, causing a section of the bridge to collapse. Active search-and-rescue operations were suspended due to treacherous conditions in the water. The ship reported a power failure before impact, and all 22 crew members were accounted for. The closure of the port could have a major impact on supply chains. President Biden promised to visit Baltimore and rebuild the bridge. The incident may be the worst U.S. bridge collapse since 2007.
