A tragic incident unfolded in Baltimore as the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed, leaving six construction workers missing and presumed dead. The search for these workers resumed Wednesday morning, shedding light on their identities and the families they leave behind.
Among the missing individuals is Miguel Luna, a 49-year-old employee of Brawner Builders from El Salvador, who has six children. Two Guatemalans, aged 26 and 35, are also unaccounted for, with reports indicating that they were sitting in their trucks during a break at the time of the disaster. Additionally, individuals from Honduras and Mexico are among the missing, with one of them identified as Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandova.
The tragic incident occurred when a cargo ship, the Dali, lost power and struck one of the bridge’s supports, causing it to collapse into the water within seconds. Emergency responders were quick to react, with reports of construction workers operating on the bridge during the collapse, prompting a call for a dive team.
The Guatemalan Foreign Ministry confirmed that two of their citizens were among the missing workers, with one in critical condition after being rescued. The ministry has been in contact with the families of the missing individuals, providing support during this difficult time.
As the search and rescue efforts continue, the community mourns the loss of these workers and prays for their safe recovery. Fox News will provide updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.
