The collapse of the bridge in the USA

The bodies of two people have been pulled from a red truck that was under water when the Baltimore bridge collapsed. Eight construction workers were on the bridge when a ship hit it, plunging them into the waters below, the BBC reports. 

Two of the workers were rescued that day, but the search continues for the other four, all of whom are presumed dead. Rescue crews are working to address the hazardous materials and accident investigators are on the scene.

At a press conference Wednesday, Maryland State Police identified Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, 35, and Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, 26, as the two workers found by divers inside the truck. 

The cargo ship itself is stable, but has over 1.5 million liters of diesel and lubricating oil on board.
About 4,700 cargo containers are also on board, including 56 containing hazardous materials.

The US Navy plans to use heavy lifting cranes - some can hold up to 1,000 tons - to remove the bridge parts that fell into the water. /CNA
