Dispatch audio from emergency responders captured the tense atmosphere after a cargo ship rammed into Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday, causing it to be completely destroyed.
Operators of the Dali cargo ship had issued a mayday call that the vessel had lost power moments before the crash, but the ship still headed toward the span at “a very, very rapid speed,” Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said.
The 985-foot-long vessel struck one of the 1.6-mile long bridge’s supports, causing the span to break and fall into the water within seconds.
In the dispatch audio recordings, officials are heard discussing the number of construction workers who were on the bridge, who need to be rescued.
They discuss vehicles which they say fell into the water, although they are uncertain just how many. As of this report, there has been conflicting information on how many vehicles may have been on the bridge at the time of the collapse, while other reports claim all vehicles were already off the bridge.
They are also heard saying that the cargo ship is leaking diesel into the water.
As of Tuesday evening, officials said two construction workers were rescued after the tragedy, and another six have not been found and are presumed deceased.
