The incident in question has potentially turned deadly as the officials revealed that the six missing individuals after the incident are now presumably dead.

Maryland’s governor, Wes Moore, claimed that the crew present on the ship had sent out a mayday call moments before the collision, allowing the authorities to limit traffic to the bridge. The entire incident was caught on camera, and the ship can be seen releasing puffs of smoke as the lights on the ship flickered before the accident.
