## Caption

A massive freight ship stacked high with containers smashed into a bridge while sailing out of Baltimore early on March 26, sending cars and people into the river below and closing one of the busiest ports on the U.S. Eastern Seaboard.
 
Rescuers pulled out two survivors, one of whom was hospitalized, and were searching for more in the Patapsco River. The ship reported a power issue and officials halted the flow of traffic on the bridge between the mayday call and the collision, Maryland Governor Wes Moore said at a briefing.
 
“By being able to stop cars from coming over the bridge, these people are heroes. They saved lives last night,” he said.
 
Eight people were on the bridge at the time and six remained unaccounted for, the state’s transportation secretary said hours after the collision, which closed one of the busiest ports in the United States. The preliminary investigation pointed to an accident, Moore said.
