Six people are presumed dead in the crash that took place after a cargo ship rammed into Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore on Tuesday. The collision, triggered by a critical power failure onboard the ship, resulted in the bridge's collapse into the Patapsco River. However, the list of casualties could have been much longer if the ship's Indian crew hadn't sent a timely distress signal. It was their "mayday" call that facilitated the bridge's closure right before the accident.
