Police and Coast Guard crews swarmed the disaster site, with specialised divers scouring the river under the destroyed Francis Scott Key Bridge. Their task, however, was limited to recovering bodies. The vessel, which remained entangled in the debris Wednesday, was “stable,” Coast Guard Vice Admiral Peter Gautier told reporters at the White House, adding that the mostly Indian crew remained on board and were “very much engaged” in the investigation.
There was no chance to evacuate the eight men filling potholes on the road directly above the oncoming ship. One of those now presumed dead was father-of-three Miguel Luna, according to the nonprofit Casa, which serves immigrant communities.His wife, Maria del Carmen Castellon, told Telemundo 44 that she was “devastated” by the wait for any information.Footage of the collision showed the vessel slamming into one of the 47-year-old bridge’s supports.
The ship had passed two overseas inspections in 2023, the authority said Wednesday, adding that a fault monitor gauge was fixed in June.
