Baltimore Bridge Collapse: ‘No time’ to recover four bodies as cleanup begins

It appeared like a crime scene at the site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore on Sunday, where Police were keeping people and drones away.

Fragments of the Bridge still blocked off the Patapsco River, and girders partially submerged still flanked the elephantine container.

Last week, the bodies of two construction workers who were on the bridge at the time of the crash were recovered, and search is still ongoing for four more.

Governor Moore said, the search for the other four bodies remains a priority, however, was unable to give a timeline for their recovery.

The Governor said, “We are focused on bringing that measure of comfort and closure to the families. There is no timeline because of how complex this operation is.”

Meanwhile, crews have started the process of clearing the wreckage.
