From "The Hill" published 03-27-2024 On Wednesday evening, Maryland State Police announced a red pickup truck was found among the underwater wreckage. Inside were two of the trapped victims: 35-year-old Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, from Mexico, and 26-year-old Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, from Guatemala. Four others were still missing and presumed dead. Two of the victims were Mexican nationals, two were from Guatemala, one was from El Salvador and one was from Honduras. All were employed by Brawner Builders.

This is gonna be tricky I think, because a lot of those marine heavy lift cranes if you look at them are for lifting things up from underwater, and they straddle the load because it's usually underwater.

@laprimanerda7333

Ай бұрын

That port and many others have specialist pilots who drive boats in and out of the harbor. The problem here doesn’t appear to be that particular local pilot, it’s that the ship lost power, possibly twice, at a critical steering moment. From what has been released from the investigation, they called out for tugboat help once steering was compromised but it all happened in a few minutes time.

Imagine someone changing their shift just for yourself to ultimately fill in for their death, final destination vibes, id be pissed as a ghost

Is so sad to know that there is more coverage and praise about the ones that survived and yes they are blessed to have survived, but the ones that are dead that had families that they were providing for in their countries that will not have that support anymore, my question is if there is anything that will be done for those families ?

This is caused by 'wet stacking'. Look it up for more information. Essentially there is more fuel injected into the engine than it can reasonably burn under the given circumstance. Someone pinned the throttle in an attempt to provide reverse thrust.

Amazing! The will to live sometimes defies our imaginations. Happy for the two who survive and saddened about those who perished leaving behind so many broken hearts 💔 The family that lost 2/3😔

The will to live of the survivor who ended up in the water must have been very strong indeed. He does not know how to swim but he managed to surface and get himself to shore despite enduring darkness, cold water and river currents. Must have done that on pure adrenaline.

any news about what caused the ship to lose control ?

Why the USA don't get one of the world's largest ship cranes equipped to lift the broken pieces of the bridge rather than the tedious task of cutting it into pieces. This job would have been completed days ago. The USA could use Heavy duty Lifting Vessels like the HLV Svanen(8700 tonnes, the SSCV Thialf Dutch Vessel with a lifting capacity of 14,200 metric tons, or the Chinese Zhen Hua 30 with a lifting capacity of 7,700 metric tons. There are cranes that can fit the scope of this job and complete the job in a short time.

PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY. THIS IS SO SAD.

So sad. They were trying to get away.

I'm going to say that those workers witnessed that ship malfunction from above when try saw the smoke.It's what us humans do, we're enquiring...they probably ran to the edge of the bridge for a closer look. When they saw the ship heading towards the support pillar, they never would've anticipated the entire bridge would be taken out. Awe turned to horror ..and in a few seconds they were gone.

I heard a lot were on their breaks in their cars so they probably didn’t even notice anything.

​@@HabballSephThey were in their trucks, I'm sure they had no clue what was about to happen.

My worry is that, once the goods have been moved through other ports, they won't return to Baltimore. And that will hurt the port.

THEY PROBABLY WERE SITTING IN THE TRUCK ON THEIR BREAK JUST CHILLING AND TALKING AND THEN DAM THE SHIP HIT THE BRIDGE...MAY THEY REST IN PEACE...THIS IS SCARY AND CRAZY...I NEVER LIKE DRIVING OVER BRIDGE ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU CAN SEE BELOW YOU AND THERE IS NOTHING BUT WATER...I'M SURE THIS MAKE ALOT OF FOLKS THINK MORE ABOUT CROSSING BRIDGES...SAD!

Especially crossing the really high and windy ones.

Not part of their construction team??? Guy who hung around?

I want to donate money to help the survivors and their families. I would like to know if there is a gofundme for them

This bridge had zero lateral supports

HORRIFIC NOT EVEN A BRIDGE IS SAFE

The bridge lacked collision protection

Nothing was going to stop that cargo carrier

Incorrect. We know exactly what led to this tragedy because, on the one hand, the pillars had absolutely no protection whatsoever against collisions with larger ships and, on the other hand, that the Dali had been reporting electrical problems and power losses for days because there were probably too many freezer units on board with inadequate fuses and electricity capacity operation. The first represents a breach of the duty of precaution while the other can be described as a simple greed for profit.

Was that an angel in the disguise of a policeman who told that guy to get off the bridge?
