An investigation into what caused the Dali ship to lose power and crash into the bridge was expected to take 12 to 24 months to complete, National Transportation Safety Board ChairMaryland State Police Superintendent Roland Butler said at the briefing that authorities had informed the workers' families after searchers in the Port of Baltimore found the bodies just before 10am Wednesday.
The victims were found trapped in the red pickup beneath 25 feet of water in the Patapsco River near where the middle of the bridge had collapsed, Butler said. "Based upon the conditions, we're now moving from a recovery mode to a salvage operation because of the superstructure surrounding what we believe are the vehicles and the amount of concrete and debris, divers are no longer able to safely navigate or operate around that in the areas around this wreckage," Butler said.Share on facebook
