Another heart-wrenching day of searching along the Patapsco River in the Port of Baltimore after the Key Bridge collapsed Tuesday. On Wednesday, Maryland State Police announced divers recovered the bodies of 2 of the 6 victims found submerged in a pick-up truck under the middle span of the collapsed bridge. State Police say it’s no longer safe for divers to continue their search.
"We firmly believe that the vehicles are encased in the superstructure and concrete that we tragically saw come down." Said Col. Roland Butler Jr. of the Maryland State Police. Police identified the victims as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 35, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26.Their bodies were recovered in a red pickup truck submerged in about 25 feet of water near the bridge’s middle span.According to co-workers, the pair had been taking a break and keeping warm inside the truck when the bridge collapsed. The US Coast Guard also confirmed the 987-foot Singapore-flagged Dali underwent "routine engine maintenance" in the Port before losing power.
The removal of the tons of twisted metal and concrete has started. The goal is to open up the shipping lanes to one of the busiest ports on the East Coast as soon as possible. "The collapse of the Key Bridge is not just a Maryland crisis, the collapse of the Key Bridge is a global crisis. The national economy and the world's economy depends on the Port of Baltimore" said Maryland’s Governor Wes Moore.
