ON the night of Tuesday March 26, the United States Coast Guard announced that it had stopped its search for six workers who went missing when a massive Maersk cargo ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed into the Baltimore harbour in the early hours of Tuesday morning after being struck by a 985-foot-long cargo vessel.
