Jesus Campos works for Brawner Builders and says his coworkers are the six workers currently missing.

First responders are still looking for six construction workers who fell into the Patapsco River when the Francis Scott Key bridge collapsed this morning.

A Singaporean cargo vessel ran into a concrete pylon after officials had electrical or propulsion issues.

Jesus Campos works for Brawner Builders and says his coworkers are the six workers currently missing.

He stood at a media staging site in Anne Arundel County as he waited for news.

Jesus Campos: “Son mis amigos… mis compañeros de trabajo… Me siento triste (inaudible) … y el mismo tambien.”

"Those are my friends, my coworkers, I am sad… I could have been there like them," he said in Spanish.

Campos was scheduled for the morning shift.

Brawner Builders has not yet confirmed that the missing workers were their employees.
