In Baltimore, the recovery and search for the dead is still ongoing after the disaster earlier this week, in which a container ship ran into one of the abutments of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing almost the entire bridge to collapse.
Six people died and two of them divers were found on Wednesday. Both were found in a minibus that had fallen into the water along with parts of the bridge. The search for the other four dead continues, but it is difficult for divers because the water temperature is very low and there is a lot of bridge debris in the water.
The U.S. Navy plans to use barges with heavy cranes to raise parts of the bridge that have fallen into the water. Rescue crews are working to prevent hazardous materials from entering the water, and investigators are also at the scene.
The ship that ran into the bridge is carrying large quantities of fuel oil and lubricating oil, and is also carrying about 4,700 cargo containers, including 56 containing hazardous materials.
