Eight people were believed to have been on the Baltimore bridge when the massive container ship smashed into it in the early hours. Most of the 1.6-mile-long structure collapsed in seconds – sending those on it plunging into the river below.

The disaster has closed one of the busiest ports in the US. But a distress call from the ship allowed officials to stop traffic crossing the bridge, averting an even bigger tragedy.
