Biden hails Indian crew for timely alert; 6 who fell from bridge presumed dead
New Delhi: All six workers missing after a Baltimore bridge collapse on Tuesday are presumed dead, even as US President Joe Biden and Baltimore Mayor Wes Moore praised the “all-Indian” crew of the cargo ship for the advance warning that helped save many lives before the ship rammed into a bridge pillar, bringing down the entire edifice.
As a result of the advanced “Mayday” warning by the ship’s crew, the police had reportedly halted all traffic before the bridge collapsed. Only eight workers repairing potholes were on the bridge at the time of the incident. All eight workers fell into the water. While two were rescued, the others are presumed dead.
