We are Maryland tough. We are Baltimore strong. In the face of danger, we hold out. In the face of heartbreak, we come together, and we come back stronger. That is what we’ve always done. That’s what we will continue to do.
To our first responders: I am in awe of your courage. You saw danger – and ran toward it. Our response teams are doing everything in their power to rescue and recover the victims of the collapse – as we speak. And we will update the public as the work continues.
We started coordinating immediately after the Key Bridge collapsed. We’ve been standing together every step of the way – from our county leadership – to our city leadership – to our state leadership – to our federal leadership.
Our administration is working closely with leaders at all levels of government and society to respond to this crisis. Not just by addressing the immediate aftermath, but also by building a state that is more resilient and more safe.
We pray for the construction workers who were on the Key Bridge – And we pray for everyone who has been touched by this tragedy – and their families – and their loved ones.
