Divers recovered the remains on Wednesday of two of the six missing workers tossed into Baltimore Harbor from a highway bridge that collapsed after being rammed by a faltering cargo freighter, officials said.

The bodies were pulled from the Patapsco River a day after the massive container ship lost power and its ability to maneuver before plowing into a support pylon of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, knocking most of it into the water below.

Four more workers who were part of a crew filling potholes on the bridge's road surface at the time of the incident remained missing and were declared to be presumed dead on Tuesday night, 18 hours after the crash.
