A major bridge collapsed in Baltimore on March 26, 2024, blocking one of the busiest US commercial harbors, after a heavily laden cargo ship lost power and smashed into a support column despite desperate attempts to stop in time. Six people -- all members of a nighttime construction crew repairing potholes on the Francis Scott Key Bridge -- were missing and feared dead, according to officials and media reports.
