[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still cannot believe that two workers survived and were pulled from the water. [/quote]

I'm guessing that they were in a car already when they got the call to evacuuate, and drove closer to one of the ends of the bridge, so had less of a fall/more protection.[/quote]

From CNN:

After the Dali ship sent out its first mayday signal, first responders leapt into action to both move people off the bridge and prevent other cars from entering it, Maryland's governor said.

They were also notifying workers who were part of a construction crew on the bridge to leave, Gov. Wes Moore said Wednesday, as officials learn more about what happened in the moments before the collision and collapse.

"One of the survivors, who I had the opportunity to speak with, one of the things he mentioned to me was as he was moving off of the bridge — and literally saw the bridge fall right after he moved off — it was because it was a first responder who was telling him to move off the bridge," Moore said.

The governor said the ongoing investigation will reveal more of what happened and how those responders communicated with the workers. He said this particular worker who survived said he heard the warning "audibly," that the officer was telling him to move off.[/quote]

and then he just jumped into the water? How long after and how did he get rescued? And how did the collapsing bridge not fall on him?[/quote]

I don’t think this guy was one of the rescued. It sounds like he successfully made it off of the bridge right before it collapsed.[/quote]
