Al Drago/Bloomberg via Getty Images(BALTIMORE) -- A cargo ship crashed into Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday morning, causing a near-total collapse of the span and halting vessel traffic into and out of the Port of Baltimore.Six construction workers believed to have fallen from the collapsing bridge into the frigid waters of the Patapsco River below are presumed dead, officials said. A search-and-rescue effort has been suspended and will shift to a recovery mission, officials said.Here's how the news is developing:Mar 27, 4:22 PMTimeline shows moments before cargo ship collisionAt 1 a.m., the 984-foot-long, Singapore-flagged cargo ship pulled out of its berth at the Dundalk Marine Terminal, southeast of downtown Baltimore, and started to head up the Patapsco River toward the Francis Scott Key Bridge, according to the vessel's tracking data.At 1:23 a.m., a livestream camera captured the massive ship coming into view as it approached the Key Bridge, apparently on course to pass under the 1.6-mile-long span near the middle of the bridge's cantilevered section. The footage showed light traffic on the bridge, including a tractor-trailer rig.Mar 27, 2:27 PMShip's crew on board and cooperating with officials: Coast GuardThe ship's crew is still on board and is cooperating with officials, Vice Adm. Peter Gautier, deputy commandant for operations for the Coast Guard, said at Wednesday’s White House press briefing.The ship "had a fairly good safety record," he noted.Gautier also stressed that "there is no threat to the public from the hazardous materials on board.""The real critical thing here is that, as you know, a portion of the bridge remains on the bow of that ship. And we will be coordinating very closely with the Army Corps of Engineers and their contractors to, first, affect the removal of that debris before the vessel can then be removed," Gautier said. "The vessel bow is sitting on the bottom because of the weight of that bridge debris on there, and there are underwater surveys happening by a remotely operated vehicle. Divers will be in the water today to complete that underwater survey."The investigation into what caused the collision is ongoing."Anybody who is responsible will need to be accountable," Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said.Mar 27, 1:49 PM'If not for several factors … loss of life might have been in the dozens': Buttigieg"If not for several factors," including the mayday call, the first responders’ quick action and the time of the day of the collision, the "loss of life might have been in the dozens," Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg said at Wednesday’s White House press briefing.Six construction workers were killed and one was hurt when a cargo ship struck Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday."Work is undergoing to recover their remains and our thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones," Buttigieg said.Buttigieg said he’s concerned about the local economic impact of the Port of Baltimore’s closure."No matter how quickly the channel can be reopened, we know that it can't happen overnight, and so we're going to have to manage the impacts in the meantime," he said. "We’re working to mitigate some of those impacts, including using tools that didn’t exist just a few years ago. Following the disruptions to supply chains from the COVID pandemic, President Biden's infrastructure package included the establishment of a new freight office within our department to help coordinate goods movement in ways that were not possible before.""We are using it now to help the hundreds of different private supply chain actors get better coordinated to keep goods moving," Buttigieg said.He said he’ll be meeting Thursday with shippers and other supply chain partners to "understand their needs" during this disruption."That said, the port of Baltimore is an important port, so for our supply chains and for all the workers who depend on it for their income, we’re going to help to get it open as soon as safely possible," he added.Mar 27, 1:05 PM10 other ships stuck in Port of BaltimoreTen ships -- not including the Dali -- are stuck inside the Port of Baltimore, according to a new update by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.They are comprised of: three bulk carriers, one vehicle carrier, three logistics naval vessels, two general cargo ships and one oil chemical tanker.An additional vehicle carrier is in the port but outside the site of the bridge collapse.This list does not include additional tugboats, sailboats and private yachts that are also in a holding pattern as the Port of Baltimore remains closed.The port said Tuesday vessel traffic in and out is "suspended until further notice."-Noah Minnie and Elizabeth SchulzeMar 27, 12:02 PMShip 'experienced momentary loss of propulsion': Singapore’s port authorityDali, the container ship that struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, "experienced momentary loss of propulsion" just before the collision, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore confirmed.The Singaporean-flagged ship underwent and passed two separate inspections in June and September 2023, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore said in a statement."Based on records, the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore confirms that the vessel’s required classification society and statutory certificates covering the structural integrity of the vessel and functionality of the vessel’s equipment, were valid at the time of the incident," Singapore’s port authority said."In the June 2023 inspection, a faulty monitor gauge for fuel pressure was rectified before the vessel departed the port," MPA added.-ABC News’ Laura RomeroMar 27, 10:30 AMBy the numbers: Vessels impactedThe closure of the waterway will immediately impact the arrival or departure of eight foreign cargo vessels and four U.S. cargo vessels, according to an updated assessment obtained by ABC News.From March 26 to April 9, arrivals into the Port of Baltimore of an estimated two chemical tank ships, five container ships, 15 vehicle carriers and 13 bulk carriers may be impacted.One cruise vessel is anticipated to arrive on April 4, which may also be impacted.-ABC News’ Josh Margolin and Aaron KaterskyMar 27, 8:36 AMWater unsafe for divers: DHS memoImagery from underwater drones show "an abundance of twisted metal and debris" from the collapsed bridge, making it unsafe for divers to enter the frigid water to search for the six missing construction workers, according to a new assessment of the situation from the Department of Homeland Security obtained by ABC News.One truck and trailer have been recovered, and one vehicle remains hanging from the metal structure, according to DHS.The 23 ship crew members are all accounted for, and one was transported to a local hospital with a minor injury, the document said.With the Port of Baltimore closed to maritime traffic, transportation officials expect backups to rail and truck freight shipments as cargo shifts along the eastern seaboard, the document said.Investigators have determined there are 13 damaged containers aboard the ship and they are being inspected for any potentially hazardous materials, DHS said."There is minor sheening on-scene. Booming has been ordered and is staged but will not be placed until search and rescue and dive operations are complete," the document said. "The amount of potential oil spill is 1.8M gallons of marine grade diesel."-ABC News’ Josh Margolin and Aaron KaterskyMar 27, 8:09 AMCrash timeline expected today, NTSB chairwoman saysNational Transportation Safety Board investigators are combing on Wednesday through a voyage-data recorder in an attempt to recreate a timeline of Tuesday's cargo-ship crash, Jennifer Homendy, NTSB chairwoman, said Wednesday.“We do have a download from the voyage data recorder that we've sent back to our lab to evaluate the data and begin to construct a timeline of events, which we ho
