Baltimore Bridge Tragedy: Six Workers Presumed Dead as Biden Commits Federal Funding for Rebuild


Tragic Bridge Collapse in Baltimore Harbour

Officials from the US Coast Guard and the Maryland State Police have stated that the chances of finding the six missing workers alive after the bridge collapse in Baltimore harbour are minimal due to the frigid temperatures of the waters.

Missing Workers Presumed Dead

Six workers are missing and presumed dead following the tragic incident where a massive cargo ship collided with the bridge in Baltimore harbour on Tuesday (Mar 26).

  • Officials believe the workers are unlikely to be found alive due to the time elapsed since the collapse and the cold water conditions.
  • Reports suggest that the missing workers were citizens of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

Cause of the Bridge Collapse

According to reports, the cargo ship, Dali, suffered a power loss leading to the collision with the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

  • The impact caused a section of the bridge to collapse into the river, resulting in vehicles and people falling into the water.
  • Fortunately, traffic on the bridge had been stopped before the collapse, potentially saving lives.

Recovery Efforts and Government Response

Recovery operations are ongoing, with a team of divers continuing the search for the missing workers.

  • US President Joe Biden has pledged federal support to rebuild the bridge and restore the vital transportation route.
  • Biden emphasized the importance of the port to the economy, stating that thousands of jobs depend on its operation.
