Baltimore's mayor expressed optimism that the bodies of the other workers presumed dead will be recovered as search and recovery efforts are paused due to unsafe conditions.
Authorities announced on Wednesday that the search and recovery operations for the four missing workers have been temporarily halted because debris has made it unsafe for divers to continue their efforts. Once the salvage operations clear the debris, divers will resume their search for the remaining remains.
Mayor Brandon Scott stated his hope that the salvage operation will successfully recover the missing workers and bring closure to their families. He emphasized the importance of working closely with the governor's office to ensure all necessary efforts are being made.
The mayor's directive to his administration underscores the commitment to exhaust all resources in the recovery mission. The community remains united in support of the families affected by this tragic incident, as efforts continue to bring closure and peace to all involved.
