BBC documentary reveals new details of the investigation into the Baltimore bridge collapse.

The Dali cargo ship slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge , sending the bridge into the Patapsco River .

Six men, all members of a road crew working on the bridge, were killed in the incident, which left the Dali - still afloat - stuck under huge chunks of shredded metal and concrete.

Bodycam footage shows first responders struggling to come to grips with the enormity of what they faced in the wake of the crash.

Last car cleared the bridge just 40 seconds before it fell, officials say.

Maryland governor: "Cars would have kept coming. By the time the people driving the vehicles realised the bridge was gone, it just would have been too late" The time between the ship losing power and striking the bridge, it was later determined, was about four minutes .
