Big news coming in Baltimore Bridge that's collapsed.
A ship that has collided with the bridge,
eventually bringing down the bridge many of the vehicles there.
That's plunged into waters on Cam footage there showing a
large ship ramming into the Maryland Bridge that's led to
this collapse.
Francis Scott Bridge collapse that's
caught on cameras. There you see many cars that were
flying through have plunged into waters they are of course
trying to recover those people who have
with their cars plunged into the waters below.
In Baltimore, a very, very tragic visual there coming in
of a bridge,
The Baltimore Bridge that's collapsed,
cars plunging into water as the bridge caves in
chopper and rescue teams that are currently on the crash
site.
The cargo ship has slammed into the support column
that's led to the bridge collapse.
Authorities say they are trying to rescue at least seven
people after this Baltimore Bridge collapse.
Very
gripping visuals that are coming to four that you see
that bridge there that's going down,
literally collapsing like a pack of cards.
The Baltimore Bridge
that's collapsed, leading to multiple cars
that's plunged into water. In fact,
at this point, rescue teams are trying to recover those
people,
At least seven people they believe have fallen into the
water with their cars.
The number could increase at this point.
The Baltimore authorities say that they are
aware of the incident where rather the number of cars
that have fallen in,
they have zero down to seven people who may have
fallen into the water with their cars.
Recovery is currently on, but this
1.6 mile 4 Lane Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore
has collapsed and that's the visual that's coming in.
I am going to cut across to Geeta Mohan.
Joining us for more on that Geeta,
very shocking visuals there showing the Baltimore Bridge which is
quite a busy one,
a four lane bridge. I can only wonder the number
of cars that replying on it have literally collapsed like
a pack of cards.
What happened? Well Nabila, this is a ship that was
was going under the bridge and surprisingly because
we've not seen or or witnessed such an accident where
it has gone under the bridge and without gauging the
distance or the OR the space between the bridge and
the ship it did hit the bridge which led to
the collapse of the bridge also the destruction of the
ship its a container.
But we what we were given to understand last from
reports is that seven people were feared in.
We do not know whether if there have been any
reported confirmed casualties so far.
But this is a very serious one because there were
no alarms that went off.
And the fact that there are no alarm systems that
went off and the ship went and
and and led to the
crashing of the bridge clearly shows that there will be
an investigation that will have to be carried out on
what really happened,
what really transpired. These are initial reports that are coming
in but the visual speak volumes of what
what really took place over there with the ship going
under the bridge,
hitting the bridge and the bridge leading to its collapse
and also fearing there could be casualties in this entire
incident in the case.
All right, well what we know here is that seven
people with their cars have plunged into waters but very
hard to believe that that they were just seven cow
cars flying through. This happened at what time Geeta was
it midnight that then we then we can expect low
traffic.
Give us more details on the the key link that
this bridge establishes.
Well, a very important point Nabila you make.
It was about 1:30 AM that this incident took place
and the reason why there aren't many vehicles.
There weren't many vehicles flying on the bridge,
but this could have been if it were any other
time
or peak out. This could have spelt disaster.
It already is a disaster with the kind of loss
that that that the state
would would be seeing collapse of a bridge,
the destruction of a tanker of a container vessel and
people now
in water, their rescue operations that were underway.
Those are the reports that we that we have of
when the incident occurred and as of now we do
not have details but yes
the Mayor and and Brandon M Scott and Baltimore County
Executive
both posted those emergency personnel who were responding
to the to the to the entire incident that took
place.
So rescue efforts underway. All
right. Thanks very much Geeta for joining us.
We're very shocking visuals that are coming in off the
Baltimore Bridge where a cargo ship is said to have
rammed into a support column leading to this bridge collapsing
quite literally like a pack of cards.
Seven people in danger with their cars were plunged into
waters,
their rescue efforts currently on.
