'Heroes' scrambled to stop traffic before Baltimore bridge collapsed; construction crew feared dead

Recovery efforts are set to resume for the six construction workers who are presumed dead after a cargo ship hit a pillar of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, causing the structure to collapse. Officials said the recovery efforts for the six missing people would resume Wednesday morning. The company that manages the ship confirmed that the vessel hit the pillar around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday. Audio from first responders shows a scramble to halt traffic just before the collision. The bridge is an important cog in the region’s transportation infrastructure, and its collapse is expected to snarl commuter traffic and disrupt a vital shipping port.
