Washington DC (US), March 27 (ANI): The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed on March 26 after a container ship smashed into it sending cars and people plunging into the river below. US President Joe Biden informed that eight people were unaccounted for after the Baltimore bridge collapse, out of which two have been rescued while the rescue operation is ongoing for the remaining six people. Joe Biden said, “Officials at the scene estimate eight people were unaccounted for. That number might change. Two have been rescued, one without injury and one in critical condition, and the search and rescue operation is continuing for all those remaining as we speak...Everything so far indicates that this was a terrible accident. At this time, we have no other indication, no other reason to believe there's any intentional act here...Our prayers are with everyone involved in this terrible accident and all the families, especially those waiting for the news of their loved ones right now. I know every minute in that circumstance feels like a lifetime. ...We're incredibly grateful for the brave rescuers who immediately rushed to the scene and to the people of Baltimore...We're going to stay with you as long as it takes...The search and rescue operation is our top priority. Ship traffic in the port of Baltimore has been suspended until further notice and we'll need to clear that channel before the ship traffic can resume...It's my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge...The people of Baltimore can count on us.”
