The Tragic Bridge Collapse in Baltimore

In a devastating turn of events, the city of Baltimore was rocked by a tragic incident last month when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed after being struck by a container ship. This major transit route into the bustling city and port of Baltimore became the scene of a horrific accident that claimed the lives of six construction workers.

Recovery of Deceased Workers

After weeks of search and rescue efforts, the body of the fourth missing construction worker has been recovered at the site of the bridge collapse. The Unified Command salvage teams located one of the missing construction vehicles, leading to the discovery of the deceased victim trapped inside. Mexican national Carlos Daniel Hernandez, who had been working on the bridge, was among those who lost their lives in this tragic incident.

Victims of the Collapse

Alongside Hernandez, another Mexican national, 35-year-old Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, was also killed in the bridge collapse. The remains of Guatemalan worker Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera were located soon after the incident. Dive teams later recovered the body of Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, a 38-year-old worker who had been missing since the collapse.

The Dali Container Ship

The 300m Dali container ship had issued a Mayday call just moments before colliding into the support column of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. This call allowed authorities to quickly clear the bridge and prevent further casualties. However, the construction crew working on the bridge at the time was unable to escape in time and tragically fell into the Patapsco River.

Investigation and Probe

Following the bridge collapse, the FBI launched a criminal probe targeting the container ship. This investigation aims to uncover the circumstances that led to the collision and subsequent collapse of the bridge. The tragic incident has left the city of Baltimore in mourning and raised questions about the safety measures in place for construction workers on major infrastructure projects.

As the recovery efforts continue and the investigation unfolds, the families of the victims and the community at large are left grappling with the aftermath of this shocking event. The loss of life in such a tragic manner serves as a sobering reminder of the dangers that construction workers face on a daily basis.

Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in this tragic bridge collapse. May they find comfort and strength in the midst of this heartbreaking tragedy.
