'We got workers in the water': Audio reveals details about Baltimore bridge rescue

March 30, 2024
Police recovery crews work near the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge after it was struck by the container ship Dali in Baltimore. Eight members of a construction crew repairing potholes were on the bridge when the structure fell into the Patapsco River at around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday.

Radio calls exchanged between first responders when the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed show a coordinated response. But distress calls are not optimized for alerting construction crews.
