The six construction workers who were on the Key Bridge in Baltimore when it collapsed are presumed dead, authorities said Tuesday evening, ending a day-long rescue mission in cold and murky waters.
Officials said Tuesday that the six victims, all employees of Brawner Builders, a general contractor, were repairing masonry and potholes on the bridge when the 985-foot freighter lost power and crashed into the structure, which rose 185 feet above the Patapsco River at its peak height. Among those presumed deceased are Miguel Luna, who has worked for the construction company for about 15 years, his family said; and a 26-year-old and a 35-year-old from Guatemala, the country’s Foreign Ministry said.
Gustavo Torres, the executive director of the Latino and immigrant organization CASA, said Luna was a father of three from El Salvador and "a longtime member of our CASA family, adding an even deeper layer of sorrow to this already grievous situation.”
It remained unclear Tuesday evening how many vehicles were submerged in the water and how many other victims were killed or injured in the disaster. Emergency responders rescued two other workers from the water early Tuesday, one uninjured and the other who authorities said was in "very serious condition.” One was an employee with Brawner Builders.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) said he spoke to one of the victims and called his survival "pretty miraculous.”
