Baltimore bridge collapse: Second of six missing workers named - as divers search river for bodies

The second missing construction worker who fell into the river as the Baltimore bridge gave way below him has been named as Maynard Sandoval.

The 37-year-old, a father of two, is one of six men on the Francis Scott Key Bridge fixing potholes when it collapsed after being struck by a 289m-long cargo ship - the Dali.

The first missing person identified earlier was Miguel Luna, a 49-year-old father of six, from El Salvador.

That poor woman, literally seconds from death. Prayers to the families who lost loved ones.

I live a few minutes from the bridge. I took it twice a day. I can't get these guys and these images out of my head. At the end of the day we're all just people trying to make our way in this world. My heart is with their families. Thanks to everyone sending thoughts and prayers their way.

ERROR. Miguel Luna one of the two workers is not from Mexico. He was originally from El Salvador.

Kudos to the divers under all of that wreckage searching.

My condolences to the family who lost their love one R.I.P 🙏

[MsDreamofmine]

Praying for each and every single person affected by this tragedy. This would have broke my heart also being on that bridge and the last one to see those men alive. Sending my deepest condolences to the families. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

I saw a white truck and then another vehicle go over the bridge before it fell, that must have been her car. That was so close!

Not one single NEWS outlet has inquired what is being hauled aboard that vessel? How severe is the damage to the monstrosity? Why were there no barriers or defences of the bridge supports to stop them being rammed?

Construction workers; creating & maintaining vital infrastructure to provide everyone with comfortable lives; always seconds from injury or death one way or another. Usually a more lethal profession than serving in the armed forces. Wish society valued us more

Why does 'Andrew' have a smug grin across his face

[MikeR-wmum]

Dam immigrants coming over here and working hard , RIP

[BMack-ps]

Dont get why small boats cant get the crew? Also never understood why people risk their lives to recover bodies, that makes no sense to me whatsoever.

[schrodingerscat]

Just thankful this didn't happen during a busy period of the day. That would have been hundreds if not thousands of people killed.

[YouITune]

So the bridge collapses perfectly just as a ship passes underneath?…

[kfcriss]

hes smug in his punishment of the crew, the idea Rescuers couldnt get rope ladders and motor boat out there to disembark the crew is insane, instead, they will stay for weeks in punishment, and this dude will *maybe* find them a radio, in a few days, *maybe*

[MrKenng]

That's utterly sad and disturbing.

[albertsmith]

what was their immigration status? were they here legally or being exploited as cheap labor

[vibinghigh]

Why cant they get the crew off the ship?

[MariaHamlyn]

I know my thoughts on this. Something ain't adding up, and ppl died. 🤕

Seems half of Americas immigrants worked at the port.
