Just heard an update on the local radio. Six still missing. Apparently the ship got a mayday call out just before the collision. This gave the local officials just enough time to close the bridge so no traffic was on the bridge at the time of the collapse. The people who went in the water were all part of construction crews that were working on the bridge overnight. Two have been rescued. The bridge sits over a 50' shipping channel. This could have been a lot worse if that mayday call wasn't received. Some really good news in all of this bad news.
