(AP) \u2014 A container ship rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers were searching for survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two people were rescued from the waters under the Francis Scott Key Bridge, one in serious condition, according to Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace. He said authorities \u201cmay be looking for upwards of seven people\u201d but said that number could change. It was not clear if the two rescued were included in the seven.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
