the Coast Guard says



As the sun sets in Baltimore, six people are presumed dead after a major bridge collapsed overnight Tuesday, according to the Coast Guard. The Francis Scott Key Bridge came down around 1:30 a.m. ET after a cargo ship collided with it.
 The Coast Guard said it has ended its active search-and-rescue operation for the missing construction workers who were on the bridge when it collapsed.


Eight people were on the bridge when it fell, according to officials. At least two people were rescued — one was taken to the hospital and has been discharged.


The Coast Guard has been searching for the six other people. But, around 7:30 p.m. ET, the Coast Guard said it has transitioned to a “different phase” of operation, now that they “do not believe we are going to find any of these individuals alive,” Rear Adm. Shannon Gilreath said.
