Any word on survivors?  :( [/quote]

Around 4:30, the Baltimore County executive was interviewed on WTOP and he has been in the emergency call center since 4am.  He said that as of 4:30 there had not been an update.  2 rescued; one checked out fine by emergency medical personnel and declined transport, one was transported with very serious injuries to local trauma center.  Shortly after, they had word from the director of the medical center where the person was treated and he reported that the patient was out of treatment and had been released.  BC exec did not have any further information on the six missing construction workers.

All are saying that the pilot of the container ship's SOS was crucial and allowed 2 minutes for the bridge workers to halt traffic entering the bridge before the collision so that no additional vehicle passengers were injured.  The vehicles that crashed from the bridge was all uninhabited and likely construction or construction related vehicles.  So, the only ones known to be unaccounted for are the construction workers.  The chief executive of the contracting company that hires them says they are working under the assumption that the employees have perished, but the emergency personnel have not given up and are still operating search and rescue.
