  Recap: Here’s what happened today • The Singapore-flagged Dali cargo ship was setting off from the Port of Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka, when it apparently lost power and struck a pillar of the Francis Scott Key Bridge . •The collision caused the bridge to collapse into the Patapsco River, with a last-minute mayday call from the crew giving police just enough time to stop traffic. •Emergency responders rescued two people from the water. Another six were unaccounted for. They are all believed to be construction workers who were working at the bridge at the time of the collapse. •The federal transportation safety agency has said it will launch an investigation into the safety record of the cargo ship as well as the construction and design of the bridge. • US President Joe Biden has said he will seek funds from Congress to rebuild the bridge. • The collapse has caused all operations at the Port of Baltimore, one of the busiest maritime terminals in the US, to be suspended.
