WASHINGTON, DC – Senator Angela Alsobrooks (D-Md.) released the following statement honoring one year since the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed:
“At 1:28 am on March 26, 2024 — a year ago — a tragedy struck Maryland. A container ship crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge. While many were asleep, the Key Bridge collapsed into the icy waters, killing six Maryland men.
“Team Maryland will rebuild, and we won’t rest until it’s done. We won’t rest because we are doing it for all of Maryland. The six Marylanders that lost their lives that day: José Mynor López, Alejandro Hernández Fuentes, Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, Carlos Daniel Hernández, and Miguel Ángel Luna González. The brave Marylanders that dove into the frigid water during the rescue operation. The strong Marylanders whose businesses and livelihoods were impacted by the collapse. The Marylanders who depend on our port for resources. The Marylanders who count on our infrastructure to stand strong.
“And when it’s completed, we will serve as an example, to the nation and the world, of what teamwork and togetherness can achieve.”
