A part of a Baltimore bridge serving as a vital highway artery and an East Coast shipping hub collapsed early Tuesday morning after a container ship crashed into it, sending people into the water.

A cargo ship crashed into one of two main supports for the 2.5km long bridge at around 1:30AM EDT.

There is an ongoing search and rescue effort and authorities are looking for upwards of seven people.

    They evidently called Mayday before colliding. But if I was asleep at the wheel and woke up to see a bridge coming at me, I’d probably let yell Mayday too.
