marylandOn the morning of the 26th, the Key Bridge in Baltimore was struck by the uncontrolled large cargo ship “Daly”. Eight workers who were on the bridge at the time fell into the water, and only two were rescued. One of the surviving construction worker’s wives told reporters that her husband could not swim, so it was a miracle that he survived.

NBC News exclusively reported on the 29th that the construction worker who survived was named Julio Cervantes, and he and another person were rescued that day. Mrs. Cervantes told reporters on the 28th that when the “branch” hit the bridge, all members of the construction team were resting on the car. “We don’t know whether they had any warning before the collision.”

Mrs. Cervantes said, “My husband didn’t know how to swim. It’s a miracle he survived.”

Mrs. Cervantes, who did not reveal her name, said her husband was sent to the hospital with a chest injury but was released the same day. Officials had earlier said that the second rescued worker was in good condition and refused treatment. 35 people were found on the 27th. The bodies of 26-year-old Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes and 26-year-old Dorlian Roniel Castillo Cabrera were found, and it was determined that four other people may have died.

Mrs. Cervantes revealed that her brother-in-law was one of the two men whose bodies were recovered, but did not reveal their names. She said the entire familyMexicoThe descendant and nephew are among those workers whose whereabouts are still unknown. “We have not been able to sleep, waiting for news on whether they are searching for their relatives.”

According to previous news, Maryland Transportation Police officers had less than a minute to respond and stopped vehicles entering the bridge in time, thus preventing casualties from increasing. Although they realized that there was still a construction team on the bridge, it seemed that they did not have time to notify the evacuees, and the “branch” had already hit the pier of the bridge.
