Francis Scott Key bridge collapse: Frame by frame

Several people are presumed dead after a cargo shipped rammed into the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, Maryland Tuesday morning. Investigators are on scene trying to piece together a timeline of what happened. As NTSB investigators continue to look into what went wrong, we're getting a look at the moments that led up to the collision. FOX 10's Troy Hayden breaks down the video frame by frame.

Recovery efforts remain ongoing as dive teams search for four construction workers, who have been presumed dead after the Baltimore Key Bridge collapsed.

Just before 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Maryland State Police Colonel Roland L. Butler, Jr. announced that they had found two of the victims who lost their lives.

Their bodies have been recovered and identified as 35-year-old Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, of Baltimore and 26-year-old Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, of Dundalk.

Col. Butler said that the construction workers' bodies were found inside a red pickup truck about 25 feet deep in the middle of the Patapsco River.

Who are the Baltimore bridge collapse victims?

The company that employed the eight-person construction crew, Brawner Builders, said Tuesday afternoon they believed the missing six workers had died given the water’s depth and the amount of time that has passed since the collapse.

Two of the unaccounted for were identified Wednesday by Casa, an organization specializing in serving immigrant and working-class families. Executive director Gustavo Torres said 40-year-old Miguel Luna and 34-year-old Maynor Suazo Sandoval have been active members of the organization for about a decade.

"We know that they were hard workers. They loved soccer. We know they loved their families and communities," Torres said. "We know they were both extraordinary human beings. We know they came here almost the same time, 19 and 17 years from Central America; 19 years and 17 years, to have the American dream; to make a contribution to this nation, and to make sure their families have a chance here. That is what we know about them."

That ship had no business being anywhere near the support structure.
I think that: This is exactly what it looks like.

[firstlast-wqvd]

God bless the 6 people, their families, and the people that care about them. ❤️

This is media for ya. Horrible reporting…horrible editing, horrible everything.

[johnfflowers]

slipped right by the fact that people were on that bridge

[kenwhitman]

Tragic scene, time to begin removing debris, beginning the middle so shipping lane can function

[ariffinsalim]

The bridge looked well maintained. Not a speck of rust.

[chrispierce]

A port worker is claiming the ship had power problems while docked in Baltimore. She said that refrigeration units were tripping breakers during the 48 hours the ship was in port.

Hi folks,
What happens is that the Captain could not drop both anchors to stop the ship.
Had he dropped the port anchor, it too would probably have dragged but it will have pulled his bow to port.
My guess is that upper management cut the personell in half, and the one detail could not drop the anchors simultaneously, or something happened so that both anchors could not be dropped at the same time.
The starbord only anchor pulled the ship into the pylon.

[robertdudley-rxqo]

accident? it steered right at the spot it hit. this dude says it tried to steer away from it which is a bold face lie.

[PaulZeski]

What it looks like is the port anchor was dropped and dragging pulling the bow to port. If propulsion was restored...the rear of the ship would kick out to starboard driving the ship into the bridge.

[kurtbottcher]

What a horrible evaluation of the video. Not a word mentioned when the power came back on the ship turned directly towards the pillar.

[ianmackenzie]

Big ships don't respond to course changes like motorboats, aircraft or road vehicles. That course was already set at least a quarter mile away and no last minute steering of the rudder would've stopped that.

[juana-qmjb]

Most of the workers were immigrants from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico. My condolences to their families.

[kh-jofd]

I heard they closed the bridge 2 minutes before impact. Did nobody think to evacuate the construction workers?

[pokerace]

We've seen a controlled demolition before

[georgelevin]

Amazing how the engine funnels are belching smoke right up to the point of impact even when the lights are off and we were told the ship had no propulsion during that time. Amazing how that ship made a right turn directly into the support seconds before the impact. Amazing how the last two minutes before hitting the bridge support the ships data recorder just happened to be deleted. Amazing how we were told this ship was operating normally up until just a few moments before the collision Amazing how this ship was a half mile from the main channel if it lost power just before the impact. Just amazing!

[JoseMartinez-femx]

It steered right towards the support column... This was intentional.

[emmaosgood]

What was the plume of black smoke what caused the propeller to stop exactly . As soon as the power goes off you see the dark smoke .

[munisankar-gklp]

What part did the PILOTS IN TWO NOS play.

[RottieParade-robu]

TO THE LEFT OF THE SMOKE THERE IS A BRIGHT WHITE BLAST AT THE TOP LINE OF THE WHOLE BRIDGE 1/2 SECOND BEFORE THE IMPACT. WHAT CAUSED THE DETONATION WAY UP THERE?
