Fourth Missing Worker Recovered at Key Bridge Site, Unified Command Confirms
The Unified Command has successfully recovered the body of the fourth missing construction worker from the Key Bridge incident site in Baltimore on April 14, 2024. The victim, whose identity is being withheld at the family's request, was found inside a construction vehicle and has been positively identified by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. The recovery effort included coordination among state and federal agencies, demonstrating a deep commitment to locating all individuals affected by the incident.
The Unified Command is actively involved in removing containers from the M/V Dali and clearing wreckage from the collapsed Key Bridge at the Patapsco River in Baltimore. As of April 11, 2024, efforts are focused on both the safe extraction of 38 containers from the ship to facilitate the ship's movement and the dismantling of the bridge sections that are obstructing the main shipping channel. Debris from the collapsed bridge is being processed and recycled at Sparrows Point, Maryland. The removal operations are dependent on weather conditions, and despite the restricted marine traffic, a temporary channel has allowed 69 vessels to pass. Meanwhile, a comprehensive safety and no-drone zone has been established around the site, and the public is advised to stay informed through various communication channels provided by the Unified Command.
