BALTIMORE — Newly obtained body-worn camera footage shows the viewpoint of Baltimore Police officers responding to the March 26th Key Bridge collapse.
The 53-minute video shows the shocked reactions of those who were first to witness the immediate aftermath.
“Is that the Key Bridge that collapsed?” one officer asks.
"Yeah, it’s the whole bridge. A ship lost its steering and the whole bridge is down in the water over here,” another answers.
One clip gets an up close glimpse of the harrowing experience faced by a surviving construction worker who was rescued from the water.
The worker is seen being escorted off a rescue boat onto a dock at Ft. Armistead to an awaiting ambulance.
“He was shaken up pretty good," one officer is heard saying. “That’s a long fall.”
Baltimore City Fire Chief James Wallace is also in the video speaking with officers on scene.
The Key Bridge collapse had an everlasting impact on Baltimore.
Six construction workers lost their lives after a large container ship lost power and struck one of the bridge pillars.
While investigations and lawsuits are ongoing, rebuilding plans are underway following months of cleanup efforts.
The Maryland Transportation Authority will host a Thursday meeting from 4:30 to 7:30pm at the Baltimore County Library in Dundalk to discuss demolishing what's left of the bridge.
