Yesterday (Wednesday, March 27) Wes Moore, governor of Maryland, told reporters: “We’ve got to give these families closure.“My promise to them is this: I will devote every single resource to make sure that you receive closure.”Of the rescue divers he continued: “They are down there in darkness where they can literally see about a foot in front of them.“They are trying to navigate mangled metal, and they’re also in a place it is now presumed that people have lost their lives.”
One of the individuals yet missing is 49-year-old Miguel Luna, a husband and father of three originally from El Salvador, who had called Maryland his home for nearly twenty years.Luna was part of the crew tasked with repairing potholes on the bridge when the collapse occurred, as per the BBC.Miguel Luna’s wife, María del Carmen Castellón, expressed her devastation as the family anxiously awaited news amidst ongoing recovery efforts.“They only tell us that we have to wait, that for now, they can’t give us information. [We feel] devastated, devastated because our heart is broken, because we don’t know if they’ve rescued them yet. We’re just waiting to hear any news,” Maria lamented in an interview with Telemundo 44.Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who lost their lives in this terrible accident, as well as those still anxiously waiting on news.
