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.
