The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has unveiled two video recordings capturing the aftermath of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse following a collision with a cargo ship.

The catastrophic event unfolded when a cargo ship collided with Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing a segment of the span to crumble into the water below. In the wake of the disaster, NTSB officials initiated an investigation to determine the factors contributing to the collapse.

On Wednesday, a day after the early-morning crash, NTSB officials boarded the vessel involved in the collision to extract crucial information from its electronic systems and paperwork. Meanwhile, divers continued their search for the bodies of the missing construction workers.

The visuals depict the bridge in its fractured state, with debris scattered amidst the water below.

Investigations into the incident have revealed potential maintenance issues with the cargo ship. An inspection conducted last June in Chile identified problems with the ship's propulsion and auxiliary machinery, although specific details remain undisclosed. Conversely, a subsequent examination by the U.S. Coast Guard in New York in September reported no deficiencies.
