                      Six Presumed Dead After Baltimore Bridge Collapse

                      The ruins of Francis Scott Key Bridge outside Baltimore, Maryland are seen after a container ship lost power and struck the bridge in the early morning hours on Tuesday, March 26, 2024 in Baltimore, MD, USA. Six people are missing and presumed dead after a container ship hit the landmark Francis Scott Key Bridge in the US city of Baltimore. The Coast Guard said it had suspended its search and begun a recovery effort. Several vehicles were crossing the bridge, which is more than 2.6km (1.6 miles) long, when it collapsed after the vessel hit a support. Officials say the ship suffered a "power issue" and issued a distress call moments before the crash. Photo by Aaron Schwartz/CNP/ABACAPRESS.COM
