The city of Baltimore experienced tragedy on Tuesday morning as the Francis Scott Key bridge collapsed after a cargo ship ran into its base.
Six construction workers were missing and presumed dead following the collapse.
The bridge, which was more than one mile long, carried the Baltimore Beltway over the Patapsco River. Its loss will be felt for many months and years as it is rebuilt.
Following the incident, the Baltimore Ravens released a statement:
