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.
In addition to the six workers that have not been found, two bodies were found in a submerged pick-up truck on the Wednesday morning, presumed victims of the bridge collapse.
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.
