The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) held a press conference on Tuesday to provide an update on the Baltimore bridge collapse.
Early Tuesday, a container ship collided with a major bridge in Baltimore, causing it to break in a few places and fall into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers were initially searching for at least seven people. Officials will provide an update on the investigation in the afternoon.
Two people were pulled from the waters under the Francis Scott Key Bridge, one in serious condition, according to Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace.
“Never would you think that you would see, physically see, the Key Bridge tumble down like that. It looked like something out of an action movie,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, calling it “an unthinkable tragedy.”
The fire chief said authorities “may be looking for upwards of seven people” but said that number could change. It was not clear if the two rescued were included in the seven.
