Spectacular and disturbing images. For a major accident. Enough to cause a huge reaction around the world on social networks.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore (Maryland, United States) collapsed around 1:35 a.m. this Tuesday, after being hit by a cargo ship. The videos have millions of views: we see the collapse of the bridge caused by the impact with the imposing ship.
Maryland Transportation Authority communicated on the social network
Baltimore police told NBC that people fell into the river, “possibly around twenty”. As well as cars. Emergency services are on the job.
Some Internet users have already nostalgically found archive images of this famous Baltimore bridge, used in particular for a scene in season 2 of the multi-awarded series “The Wire”.
