Cargo Ship Collides with Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore

A cargo ship collided with a pillar of Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing it to collapse into the water. Structural engineer John Pistorino expressed surprise at the ship's ability to bring down the bridge and emphasized the importance of redundancy in bridge construction. Redundancy allows a bridge to continue functioning even in a damaged state. Maryland officials have been updating the public on the incident, and search and rescue efforts are ongoing for the missing individuals. Concerns have been raised about the potential for hypothermia due to the cold temperatures.
