A mayday warning from the ship that slammed into a Baltimore bridge saved lives by prompting officials to stop cars from crossing, Maryland Governor Wes Moore said.
“We’re thankful between the mayday and collapse we had officials that were able to begin stopping the flow of traffic,” Moore told reporters Tuesday.“Many of the vehicles were stopped before they got onto the bridge, which saved lives in a very, very heroic way.”
