US police recover two bodies following Baltimore bridge collapse

18

Police in the United States say they have recovered two bodies following the collapse of one of Baltimore’s major bridges.

This comes after a container ship struck a pylon, which led to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland.

There were eight construction workers on the bridge at the time of the collapse, and two were immediately rescued, while six were missing but have been presumed dead.

Search and rescue operations were suspended yesterday and transitioned to a recovery mission today to retrieve the bodies.

  1. This is where is we can see bullshit start to float to the surface, a cargo ship with no power will stop when the ANCHOR IS DROPPED, the size, design and weight of a cargo ship ANCHOR is designed to dig down and catch on to terrain in a variety of conditions.

  2. Why haven't they identified the captain or any of the crew to the public yet? Why did the FBI put out a statement saying it was an accident before conducting a proper investigation?

  3. At least here in Oz we build bridges that sink the agressor! The Tasman Bridge still has a ship under it. And yes I know the tragedy,, my mother missed the Tasman bridge going down by few minutes.
    This bridge was clearly unsuitable for a shipping lane
