Divers have\u00a0recovered the bodies<\/a>\u00a0of two construction workers who went into the water in their pickup truck during the Baltimore bridge collapse earlier this week.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As per reports, cargo ship Dali hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge in the early hours of Tuesday morning on March 26. The collision occurred just prior to 1:30am in Maryland, USA, prompting a huge search and rescue operation amid the confusion and chaos.<\/p>\n

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are in the process of reviewing the voyage data recorder recovered by the Coast Guard in order to build a timeline of events regarding what caused the crash. Dali left Baltimore at 12:45am local time and was headed for Colombo, Sri Lanka before appearing to lose power minutes before it hit the bridge.<\/p>\n

Reports claim<\/a>\u00a0at least eight people went into the water. Two were rescued, while a further two have now been found and identified as Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 35, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26, both of whom were working at the time of the incident.<\/p>\n

Tragically, the remaining missing persons are now presumed dead.<\/p>\n

\u201cBased on the length of time that we\u2019ve gone in this search\u2026 (and) the water temperature\u2026 at this point we do not believe that we\u2019re going to find any of these individuals still alive,\u201d Coast Guard Rear Admiral Shannon Gilreath explained.<\/p>\n

Yesterday (Wednesday, March 27) Wes Moore, governor of Maryland, told reporters: \u201cWe\u2019ve got to give these families closure.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy promise to them is this: I will devote every single resource to make sure that you receive closure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the rescue divers he continued: \u201cThey are down there in darkness where they can literally see about a foot in front of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are trying to navigate mangled metal, and they\u2019re also in a place it is now presumed that people have lost their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
