A construction company employee who said he labored alongside the six men missing after a Baltimore bridge collapse on Tuesday said many of his co-workers were migrants working to support their relatives.
“We’re low-income families,” said Jesus Campos, who has worked at the construction company, Brawner Builders, for about eight months.
The executive, Jeffrey Pritzker, and the Coast Guard said that all of the missing workers were presumed dead, given how long it had been since the collapse.
Mr. Pritzker said that Brawner’s owner was distressed and spent the early Tuesday hours near the bridge hoping for a rescue, and has also since met with families of all of the missing workers.
He wore a black sweatshirt bearing the construction company’s name and milled about, waiting for news and speaking on the phone.
