Bodies of two missing workers recovered after Baltimore bridge collapse

Four men who were working on the Francis Scott Key Bridge when it collapsed are still missing. Divers have also located a pickup truck in the waters of Baltimore Harbor. Meanwhile, the NTSB will examine the recorders for insights into why the container ship lost power and couldn't turn before ramming into the bridge. With much of the ship traffic in Baltimore Harbor halted, thousands of jobs could be affected. NBC News' Tom Llamas and Tom Costello report.

Why is the media focusing so much on the structural integrity of the bridge? Even if it was in absolute perfect condition it would not have been able to handle a crash of that scale. Bridges are not built to handle collisions of that size and speed.

That 18 wheeler is so lucky. He missed it by literally seconds.

RIP to those that died. Sending love from Canada.

Closure is needed for those families waiting for their loved ones who are missing and found dead ❤

[mike-uyt]

There are no more survivors. It was a horrific accident and I wish the families well. But anyone making it sound like there is a chance is cruel.

That man that rode that bridge down 200’ into the water, without injury, won life’s lottery.

Maybe the company of the ship should cover the funeral expenses, and have the families do it however they want. That would be the decent thing to do to show compassion to those families.
Imagine the fear they must have felt..no words.

[armandoflores]

[MyBuddyJohnny]

Bridge collapses from being hit by a ship are rare but they do happen. On the 27 of February 2024, a empty cargo ship hit the bridge supports of the Lixinsha Bridge in southern China. The bridge collapsed and two vehicles fell into the water and three other vehicles landed on the ship. Five were killed and one crew member was injured.
In the past, there have been bridge disasters. The Tasman Bridge in Australia was hit by a ship and the bridge fell on top of the ship killing seven crew members and five motorists died from dropping 150ft into the water below. The supports of the Bold Street Bridge in Sydney Australia, were not hit by a ship but by a train. As the train approached the bridge it became derailed and slammed into the bridge supports. The bridge collapsed on top of the train killing 83 people and injured more than 200 others.

From now on I'm keeping my window rolled down evertime I drive across a bridge 😢

The human toll is barely covered. The families of the men who literally gave their lives for that bridge are entitled to support and compensation at the very minimum.

There was a mayday, which is why there weren't more vehicles on the bridge at the time of collapse. Were the workers not able to get off the bridge in time, did they know there was a problem? I feel so bad for all of their friends and loved ones.

Prayers for healing and comfort for all family members and friends. 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🙏🏽
