The resolution commemorates the first anniversary of the tragic collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, which occurred on March 26, 2024. This incident resulted in the deaths of six construction workers who were on-site during the overnight shift when a cargo ship struck a support column, leading to the bridge's failure. The resolution honors the lives of the deceased workers: Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes, Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera, Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval, Carlos Daniel Hernández, Miguel Angel Luna Gonzalez, and Jose Mynor Lopez, acknowledging the profound impact of this tragedy on their families and the nation.
In light of this solemn anniversary, the Texas House of Representatives expresses its condolences and pays tribute to the victims. The resolution calls for an official copy to be prepared for the families of the deceased and states that the House will adjourn in their memory, ensuring that their sacrifice is remembered and honored.
