    This is why I have a fear of bridges and parking garages
  • @julierogers1155
    SO SORRY. Yes, do NOT abandon these families. Rest in peace.
  • @anneredmoon
    Thank you for respectfully shining a light on these men.
  • Man. The way these men died looked so scary. It saddens me so. The ground falling under them, hitting the ground or water hard. The heavy debris likely crushing them. Even if they survived the initial fall, the cars they were in would soon be submerged by the water. If they weren't unconscious or too injured to push the door open, they'd only to be greeted by cold water where help would be hours from arriving. They didn't deserve this.

    Man, this is terrible! You never know when a freak accident is going to happen.
  • To avoid this in the future could mayday lights be installed to tell people to get off the bridge? Or the close as a boat is coming underneath?
  • @anglophils645
    Why weren't these construction workers notified of the ship's Mayday warning? The police stopped all traffic from accessing the bridge, after the ship radioed in a Mayday warning, and traffic was quickly cleared from the bridge. Why were these workers not told to exit the bridge? They had plenty of time to do so, after the Mayday warning.

    They left to work and never came back home. So sad.

    You never know when your life is about to end and in this case under unusual circumstances. These men went to work thinking it's just another day, but death came a calling.

    I am so sorry for this!! So sorry that these hard working men had to lose their lives in such a tragic way. I am still thankful to God for the mayday and warnings that went out to save the other drivers, but I just wished these precious men were reached as well!!
  • I feel very sorry for those great workers who are working in very risky jobs. The probability of dying in these risky job is very high. But life requires scarf ices to survive. Rest In Peace
