‘Miracle’ tales of survival emerge from workers who were on break in cars when Baltimore bridge collapsed: ‘I’m going to die here’
NY Post
The wife of one of the construction workers who survived the collapse of a Baltimore bridge said they were on a break when tragedy struck — and that it’s a “miracle” that her husband survived because he can’t swim.
“All of the men were on a break in their cars when the boat hit. We don’t know if they were warned before the impact,” the wife of Julio Cervantes told NBC News on Thursday.
“My husband doesn’t know how to swim. It is a miracle he survived,” added the relieved wife, who didn’t disclose her name.
Cervantes and seven other construction workers were on the Francis Scott Key Bridge when the disabled container ship Dali crashed into a support pillar, sending the 1.6-mile-long span crashing into the Patapsco River early Tuesday.
He and another man were the only workers who were rescued.
