Baltimore bridge: Two bodies recovered from truck under water | BBC News 

Thank God this wasn’t during rush hour.

Incredibly sad for these hardworking men and the families they leave behind. I’m glad they have been found so they can be laid to rest with dignity and respect.

So heartbreaking poor people working at night , so horrible. Prayers for those who affected. 🥲

Even if presumed dead, recovery attempts for the six missing workers should remain in full swing. R.I.P.

The bridge was completed in 1977 meeting standards for that period in time. The cargo ship was just under 1,000 feet long, weighed over 1 million tons and traveled at 8 knots. Not many structures could handle that hard of an impact. Traveled the Francis Scott Key bridge often and it's a mile and a half long.

This story is so horrible! Absolutely devastating

Absolutely disheartening so so horrible. Lord comfort the families who lost their loved ones.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

R.I.P To Those Maintenance Workers 😢

Sincere condolences to all those that have lost there loved ones .

Tragic. When the bridge is reconstructed /replaced i hope a decent memorial is built for those souls lost.

2:09 THAT TRUCK looks like it crossed the pillar and got off the bridge just in time!!!

there can never be an accident without someone calling conspiracy.

Awful. Beyond horrific and sad.

This is so sad thoughts and prayers to the families 😢

Thank you very much for the Update!

Why is the relative talking about the family all travelling for visas instead of how much they loved and will miss the poor guy who died? That seems a really odd thing to say, like "oh, we can't all come there now" rather than "he was a much loved husband/son/father/brother and we will miss him very much" or words to that effect. Maybe its shock but its a really weird thing to say when your relative just had a tragic accident.

How ghastly for those innocents done to death without warning or hope of saving. Their terror can bareky be imagined. Justice must be served if it can be shown that human failings were to blame for this tragedy.

Our condolences💐

Large truck, two pickups, one Nissan are on the bridge. Manual labor sucks, standing on the road is deadly. Can’t take your break inside the truck. Back to the shop.

So sad 😢

So sad to here about the deaths of these people.

The grim results of poor planning and maintenance of engine technical from the company and the crew...

Bridge collapses from being hit by a ship are rare but they do happen. On the 27 of February 2024, a empty cargo ship hit the bridge supports of the Lixinsha Bridge in southern China. The bridge collapsed and two vehicles fell into the water and three other vehicles landed on the ship. Five were killed and one crew member was injured. In the past, there have been bridge disasters. The Tasman Bridge in Australia was hit by a ship and the bridge fell on top of the ship killing seven crew members and five motorists died from dropping 150ft into the water below. The supports of the Bold Street Bridge in Sydney Australia, were not hit by a ship but by a train. As the train approached the bridge it became derailed and slammed into the bridge supports. The bridge collapsed on top of the train killing 83 people and injured more than 200 others.

Rest in peace 😢😢😢

Looking at the video it seems that the steelwork above the road workers fell down upon them and perhaps trapped them, heartbreaking for the families

Tragic, horrible accident

Poor people

Why those workers were not alerted after mayday signal?

NBC is reporting that Luna was a father of six children...dts/usa

they can build a temporary bridge and block the port or they can remove the bridge and open lanes to ports. but they cant do both at the same time.

God Bless, those lost and their families. ❤

Passenger was found still clutching the inside door handle. Looks like he pulled on that handle til he drowned. Imagine the fear and panic of not being to get out, and the cab filling with water, and trying to hold his breath until he couldn't find the urge anymore and he inhaled nothing but water. Friend who is a cop there told me this.

RIP so sad

It’s mental the ship (without power etc.) smashed full-on into one of the pillars. 20 metres either way and a catastrophe may have been averted.

Which place on the bridge they were working please,can it be located by an arrrow showing?😢

Sadness abounds

How could this happen???

Did the pickup truck have electric windows ?

All this could have been avoidable if the ship was shadowed by tugboats. It happens where i live, so how is it not happening here

They "found" the data recorder? Was it lost? News readers.

Did I hear that there were 2 survivors? How can anybody survive a fall like that…

And yet we'll have those who will seek to project their Derangement onto this tragedy.

Why didnt the two guys in the truck react to the mayday call? Do we know? You d hit the starter and at least try to get off.

Rest in peace

Captain & rew names?

0:17 Funny that the boat anchor is dropped on the left side of the boat which would typically turn the boat to the left but instead the boat turned right!

So Sorry for US ,, 😢

The two victims have been named as 35-year-old Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, of Baltimore, and 26-year-old Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera of Dundalk.

Accidentally or not, *criminal charges* should be filed for those responsible for the casualties. The ship was 🇸🇬 Singaporean-flagged and Singaporean-owned. Thousands of other civil lawsuits are expected to flood into the country.

These problems are reeeally starting to get compiled now.😣

These huge ships should have tug boats guiding them out of port and around bridges to prevent this!

The ship has insurance so it should have to pay for all damages including total damages.

In my opinion as a Master Mariner and Marine Pilot this accident could have been avoided if Master of ship and Pilots onboard allowed ship to maintain the speed of about 8kt's instead of slowing vessel down when power was restored x2 onboard ship. Ship would of passed under bridge at 8kt's. There was only light wind early in the morning so windage would not have affected the ship to a large degree. The slowing down of the ship caused the bow(front) of ship to veer to starboard(right hand side) thus causing the ship to collide with bridge foundation support. There was not enough distance from ship when it lost power to the bridge to safely stop the ship before the bridge. Best option in this scenario forget about dropping anchor and trying to slow down using engine. Rather focus on trying to maintain ship in navigation channel when power was restored x2 and with the speed of about 8kt's it would quickly pass under bridge. Once passed under bridge then drop both anchors to slow down ship and use astern engine movements to reduce speed when power back on. The natural thing to do is to reduce speed as fast as possible to soften any collision or grounding which might happen, however in this case it appeared to be the wrong decision.

The bridge was not made for impact at the columns.

Let's hope they can keep the cargo out of the water.

Looks like overloaded ship . How could the ship look so big ??

The caisson protection was woefully inadequate in todays world

Man... does he look like he has had a very bad night or day?

Gorgeous handsome men. My condolences to their families

I thought they stopped traffic.

Looking forward to Transport Safety Board's investigation report. We must learn from it so that such accident may never happen again. RIP deseased!!

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

people dead and all people can do is post memes and the press talks mainly about the economic impact. What a depressing time we live in.

Dali ship, named after Salvador Dali the artist who painted THE BROKEN BRIDGE

They know why the ship lost power it has had this defect for some time. The ship was on charter to Maersk and contrary to International maritime law Maersk insist that crews must report defects to them before notifying the authorities. They have been warned about this illegal policy in the past because it allows Maersk to mitigate or cover up potentially dangerous faults or conditions onboard vessels.

RiP 💫

Thoughts and prayers to those innocent lives. Prayers to all families effected.

Oooh, say can you see…

Guest who the GOP are blaming 🤬 DEI. RIP those who have lost their lifes.

Kerch Bridge..Who??? Again...

It must be more than coincidence that this is the same ship that collided with a pier at Antwerp port in 2016.

No blame or anything, but i really wish there was a faster way for that dispatch to say "get everyone off the bridge NOW". Its not his fault but he used waaaay too many eords and took too much time to get that off, and i can pnly hope the communication to the workders wasnt as tedius as who even knows kf they spoke English to understand such a ling ajd complex sentence. There should be a code or a simple command "evaccuate the bridge!!" Or an alarm system onnthe bridge thay can flash and go off and let people on it to get off now. Sigh. I feel so sad for those men and their families. What a way to go.... May God rest their souls.

🙏🙏🙏

Who os protecting mop head. Why did the tug boats leave the boat before it was safely past the bridge supports

Terrifying for the deceased to watch that approaching and not have time to get off... my thoughts and prayers are with their families and friends 😢🙏

What kind of weepy

يعنى أجزاء الكوبرى متثبتّة فى بعضها!😳بحيث لو حتّة وقعت الباقى ينهار!🤨مش المفروض يبقى الكوبرى مبنى على مراحل وكل مرحلة متثبتّة فى الأرض تحت الميّة!🤔أنا مش دارسة هندسة يعنى😕بس مش هو الصح يبقى كده لو عاوزين المبنى يبقى ثابت ومقاوم للحوادث والهدم! واللا كله مشبّك فى بعضه كده! يعنى لو عمود فى عمارة وقع أو إتخبط وإتهّد العمارة كلها تنهار وتقع! واللا بس الجزء أو الجدار المتحمّل على العمود ده وباقى العواميد شايلة البيت عادى وكويس وتمام ومتماسكة لأنها مش متحمّلة على العمود اللى وقع وهكذا، يقوم يبقى ترميم الجزء اللى وقع سهل وتنشءوا مكانه مش كل العمارة تقع ونعملها من الأول!☹حتى علشان سلامة السكّان😒والله أعلم يعنى، الله يرحم اللى ماتوا😔وربنا يوفقكوا ويكرمكوا🤲

Two people*

US Merchant Marine has suddenly become important again. Just like in 1939?!

rest in peace you hard working Latinos, respect. North, Central and South we should all respect each other as equals.

Julia2k8 is in denial

Rose no attacks to bridge ships hit The brdg

Please save Indian 🇮🇳 democracy

Haven't recovered all of the bodies yet but already it's about the economics. Pathetic.

God those poor souls those who lost their lives and the injured and this so heartbreaking and prayers for their families 🙏😔

Found!!!!! It was hardly lost.... Reporting at its worst!!

😱🙊

*The ship was in the Harbor, which means American Pilot on board*

China observer call this bridge a Tau FU bridge.

Singapore Flag and UK insurer. I'm sure the BBC can find out a lot by heading to 45 King William Street. Will the BBC be covering the money behind the ship?

London Bridge aint so bad now eh?

And next thing costs go up and up and up..here we go again

Why does that reporter have his eyes closed

لازم تراجعوا المقاولين العرب اللى أخدوا مقاولة إنشاء الكوبرى ده🤔

Dan locate video over Francis Bridge Ark electrical substations 27 m over Canal Bridge radius to 22 m perimeter atmosphere formation number four Dome removed today by satellite systems for safety require maintain

Dude needs to look at the camera!

Diet?

Why are the major news networks not mentioning the fact that ship was without tugboats 20 minutes before the accident?

Found the recorder? Are you really that ignorant? Yea.

When the BBC radio voice gets a shot at television.....
