The six victims' relatives are in grief for their loved ones, whose remains have not yet been located. These tales are a few of them.
Officials cancelled the rescue effort and declared the workers to be considered dead after a day-long search. After several hours, it was nearly difficult to survive in the 50-foot-deep, freezing water, and it was extremely perilous for divers to manoeuvre among the murky, jagged debris.
The six victims' families are currently grieving for their loved ones, whose remains have not yet been located. Here are a few tales from them:
Along with his brother Martin Suazo, Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval, 38, was one of the construction workers who disappeared following the collapse of the bridge.
Martin Suazo stated that early on Tuesday morning, he received a call from family members in Baltimore informing him that his brother was missing.
According to his brother, Maynor Suazo came to the US in quest of a better life after leaving his native Santa Bárbara, Honduras. For the last eighteen years, Maynor had resided in the US. According to Martin Suazo, he was married and had two kids: an 18-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter.
According to his brother, Sandoval founded a maintenance company in addition to working as a construction worker.
Honduran resident Suazo said his family is appreciative of the assistance provided by the FBI, the Honduran Embassy in Washington, and the governor of Maryland, who has pledged to use all available means to locate and retrieve the bodies.
According to Suazo, his family is clinging to the chance that his brother would turn up alive. All they can do now, though, is hope his body heals so they can move on with their lives.
Miguel Luna was on the Francis Scott Key Bridge when it collapsed on Tuesday, according per a statement from CASA, an organisation that helps working-class and immigrant families by providing essential services.
CASA Executive Director Gustavo Torres stated in the statement, "Sadly, we discovered that one of the construction workers involved was a longtime member of our CASA family, adding an even deeper layer of sorrow to this already grievous situation."
Miguel Luna, an El Salvadorian, departed for work on Monday night at 6:30 p.m. and hasn't returned. He has lived in Maryland for more than 19 years, is married, and is the father of three children, according to the statement.
According to Torres, "the CASA family and the entire Baltimore region are lamenting this tragedy." "Our hearts hurt for everyone affected by this terrible accident, including the families of the victims."
