Washington DC’s mayor is being called out after she offered a two-word
response to the Baltimore bridge collapse.

“Oh no,” Muriel Bowser wrote in a now deleted post on X just hours after
the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in the early hours of Tuesday
morning.

Ms Bowser’s bizarre response drew the ire of social media users, who
slammed her for her choice of words.

“Largest bridge in the Baltimore metro area is gone... and this lady acts
like she just stubbed her toe,” one person wrote.

“Willy Wonka when kids disappear in his factory,” another person quipped.

Another X user said they thought Ms Bowser’s personal X account, which the tweet was published from, was a “parody account.”

“This is the funniest reaction a mayor has ever given to a national
tragedy,” a fourth person said.

Ms Bowser later offered her condolences to the victims of the Baltimore
bridge collapse in a statement.

“Our prayers are with our neighbors in Baltimore and all those impacted by
the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge,” she said. “This morning, I reached out to Mayor Scott, and we stand ready to support Baltimore in
these difficult days ahead.”

The tragic incident unfolded just before 1.30am local time on Tuesday when
the Singapore-flagged Dali ship slammed into one of the bridge’s pillars.

Multiple cars were crossing over the bridge at the time, including one the
size of a tractor-trailer.

Authorities said a group of at least eight construction workers were also
on the bridge at the time of the collapse, who were “doing some concrete
deck repair”. Six of them remain unaccounted for.

Rescue efforts were launched on Tuesday following the incident, but were
called off the same evening after Coast Guard Rear Admiral Shannon
Gilreath said there was no hope of finding the missing workers alive due
to the frigid water and the length of time since the accident.

The search and rescue operation transitioned into a recovery mission on Wednesday morning, Rear Admiral Gilreath added.

Two of the six people missing were identified by family members on
Wednesday, with one of the victims identified as 37-year-old Honduras
native, Maynor Yassir Suazo Sandoval. Miguel Luna, a 49-year-old father of three from El Salvador who has called Maryland home for 19 years, is also
among the six people missing. Both were part of the construction crew, according to their families.

The other victims have not been named, but Guatemala’s foreign ministry confirmed that two Guatemalan nationals are among those unaccounted for
after the collapse of the bridge – a 26-year-old from San Luis and a 35- year-old from Camotan. The ministry did not name the men.

Multiple Mexican nationals are also missing, a Mexican Embassy official
said, although it is not clear how many.

On Tuesday, Baltimore fire chief James Wallace said two people had been
rescued from the water, including one person who was uninjured, and a
second person, believed to be part of the work crew, who is in a serious condition in hospital.

Meanwhile, the Synergy Group, the company that manages the Dali, confirmed
all 22 crew members who were on board the Dali were accounted for and that there was only one minor injury.

Although the exact cause of the crash has not yet been determined, an unclassified intelligence report, obtained by ABC, revealed the Dali
container ship “lost propulsion” as it was leaving port.

“The vessel notified MD Department of Transportation (MDOT) that they had
lost control of the vessel and a collision with the bridge was possible,”
ABC quoted the report by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security
Agency as saying. “The vessel struck the bridge causing a complete
collapse.”

The FBI were on the scene of the crash on Tuesday morning, however,
officials later confirmed that there was no indication that terrorism was involved in the incident and that the crash was not intentional.

In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg
vowed that there would be consequences for any party responsible for the incident.

“To be clear: if any private party is responsible and accountable for
this, then they will be held accountable,” he said.
