Rescuers pulled out two people, but six others are missing. Baltimore Police Commissioner Richard Worley told C4 and Bryan Nehman shortly after the accident that he “think this was purely an accident” and that an investigation will continue ” to make sure there was no terrorism. But we wanted to rule that out pretty quick.”
Synergy Marine, which operated the ship that hit the bridge, and the ship’s owner, Grace Ocean Private Ltd, have been sued at least four times in U.S. federal court on allegations of negligence and other claims tied to worker injuries on other ships owned and operated by the Singapore-based companies.
The most recent federal data shows the bridge was rated as being in fair condition overall before the crash.
“We got a ship that’s got an international flag, so there’s a lot of different rules as far as boarding the ship and going aboard the ship,” Worley said. “Even, this morning, we had to go through international rules for the waterways; and we got the Coast Guard.”
“We also have our partners from Howard County, PG County, all the other counties and federal agencies that sent dive teams,” Worley said.
