In a tragic turn of events in Baltimore, the collapse of a bridge early Tuesday has led to the presumed death of six construction workers, with recovery operations set to resume Wednesday morning. Maryland State Police have shifted their focus from search and rescue to recovery, amidst challenges posed by hazardous wreckage. The crew, engaged in pothole repairs, vanished after a freighter struck the bridge's support, causing a catastrophic collapse. Governor Wes Moore hailed the timely intervention of authorities to prevent further casualties as heroic. International consulates are assisting in the ordeal, as two Guatemalans and a Honduran national are among the missing. The National Transportation Safety Board anticipates starting its investigation soon, amid global attention on this somber incident.
