The frantic phone calls jolted Earl Schneider awake. A friend who works at a hospital wanted to make sure Schneider, a structural foreman for Brawner Builders, was not on the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore when it was struck by a cargo ship and collapsed early Tuesday. He was not, and he had not worked on the bridge, a major part of the busy Port of Baltimore, for about two weeks.
About three or four of them had welcomed newborns within the last year, according to Schneider, 33. “Folks had their lives changed in a blink of an eye,” he said. “You don’t know how much time you’ve got.” The crash is under investigation. The governor said it was likely the result of an accident and not an act of terrorism. The bridge, which is about a mile-and-a-half long, was “fully up to code,' he said. Two people were rescued from the water, Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace said.
