Baltimore, Mar 27 (AP) All six workers missing after the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed on Tuesday are presumed dead, and the search for them has been suspended until Wednesday morning.
Roland L Butler Jr, superintendent for Maryland State Police, said in the evening that the search and rescue mission was transitioning to one of search and recovery. He said divers would return to the site at 6 am the following day, when challenging overnight conditions are expected to improve.
