The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland collapsed into the Patapsco River early Tuesday morning, after a cargo ship struck one of its support columns. At least six people are presumed dead after the tragedy.
Maryland authorities said Wednesday that two bodies have been recovered after a cargo ship slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge Tuesday morning. Divers found a red pickup truck submerged under approximately 25 feet water in the middle span of the bridge and found two bodies trapped inside. Maryland State Police Superintendent Roland Butler identified the victims as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 35, of Baltimore and Dorlian Castillo Cabrera, 26, of Dundalk.
'Based upon the conditions, we're now moving from a recovery mode to a salvage operation because of the superstructure surrounding what we believe are the vehicles and the amount of concrete and debris, divers are no longer able to safely navigate or operate around that in the areas around this wreckage,' Butler said. “The collapse of the Key Bridge is not just a Maryland crisis. The collapse of a key bridge is a global crisis.
