Baltimore Bridge Collapse: Six missing construction workers are presumed dead — Coast Guard says
As rescue efforts are called off, six missing construction workers who fell into the river when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed are presumed dead.
The Coast Guard is ending its active search and rescue mission for the missing workers that fell of the Francis Scott Key Bridge when a cargo ship smashed into it on Tuesday morning.
Rear Adm. Shannon Gilreath said that based on the extended period of time since the bridge collapsed and the freezing water temperatures ‘we do not believe that we are going to find any of these individuals still alive.’
Divers will return to the water at 6am on Wednesday to resume the search efforts and attempt to locate the missing construction workers’ bodies.
‘At this point, we do not know where they are,’ Col. Roland L. Butler of the Maryland State Police said, ‘but we intend to give it our best effort to help these families find closure.’
