The tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore claimed the life of a third construction worker, whose body was found on Friday morning by divers. The man, identified as 38-year-old Maynor Yasir Suazo Sandoval, was discovered in the Patapsco River, bringing some closure to his family and loved ones.
The recovery of Mr. Suazo Sandoval’s body came just hours before President Biden visited the site of the disaster to meet with victims’ families. The bodies of three more victims are still missing, as efforts to locate them have been hindered by the extensive underwater wreckage left by the bridge collapse.
The six men who lost their lives in the tragic incident have been named, with their families and communities mourning their untimely deaths. These men, hailing from various Latin American countries, were working diligently to ensure the safety of others using the Key Bridge for their daily commute.
As the recovery efforts continue, authorities and rescue teams are working tirelessly to salvage the wreckage and clear the channel. The families of the victims are left grappling with unanswered questions and the agonizing wait for closure.
The tragic event has brought the community together in grief and solidarity, with Governor Wes Moore acknowledging the dignity of the workers’ contributions. The recovery of Mr. Suazo Sandoval’s body serves as a somber reminder of the human toll of the bridge collapse, as efforts continue to bring closure to the families of the remaining victims.
