Maryland Governor Wes Moore stated that conditions are currently unsafe for rescue divers due to weather and debris following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The collapse occurred after a large cargo ship struck the bridge, causing eight construction workers to plummet into the water, with two rescued and two bodies recovered. The ship, en route to Sri Lanka from Baltimore, was carrying over 4,000 metal shipping containers, 56 of them with hazardous materials. Efforts are underway to ensure the safety of first responders and to open up a temporary restricted channel for vessel access around the collapse site.
