Thảm họa sập cầu tại Mỹ: Revealing the Emergency Call that Saved Lives during the Perilous Moment

In the early hours of March 26th, a symbolic bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, unexpectedly collapsed after being struck by a cargo ship. According to CNN, the ship named Dali lost control as it approached the bridge and crashed into one of its pillars. In a 10-second video capturing the scene, the colossal bridge shattered into pieces, dragging numerous vehicles and people down below.

Governor Wes Moore of Maryland revealed that before the Dali ship lost control and collided with the bridge’s pillar, the crew members had issued a Mayday distress signal, indicating that their vessel had lost power and requesting authorities to restrict traffic.

“I need someone from the south, and someone from the north to stop the traffic on the Key Bridge. A ship is approaching and out of control, so we must halt all traffic activities until it is under control,” said the recorded conversation, highlighting the dangerous warning.

Immediately after receiving this signal, the authorities promptly sealed off the bridge’s entrances and exits, preventing any further vehicles from entering. This action immediately ensured the safety of many commuters heading towards the bridge.

Governor Wes Moore praised these individuals, saying, “These people are heroes… They saved many lives last night.”

Following the bridge collapse, approximately eight people, believed to be members of the construction team, fell down below. As of now, the rescue teams have saved two individuals, one of whom is in critical condition, while the other suffered minor injuries and has been discharged. Unfortunately, the remaining six missing individuals are presumed to have lost their lives.
