YOU.
MINDY: IT IS 6:48 AND WE HAVE
BEEN FOLLOWING BREAKING NEWS OF
NORTHEAST BALTIMORE WHERE A
WORKER IS RESCUED.
JASON: JEN FRANCIOTTI LIVE ON
THE SCENE WITH WHAT WE HAVE
LEARNED ABOUT THERE INCIDENT SO
FAR.
JENNIFER: THIS IS NORTH POINT
ROAD AND QUAD BETWEEN 95 AND
895.
AS I MOVE OUT OF THE WAY IT IS
PRETTY PRETTY MUCH BACK TO
NORMAL.
CONSTRUCTION IS REOPENED AND
RESUMED AND THEY ARE FILLING IN
THE TRENCH WHERE IT WAS QUITE A
DIFFERENT SCENE WITH A RESCUE
SITUATION THAT STARTED AROUND
2:3 TO 3:00 WHEN THERE WAS A
PARTIAL COLLAPSE, A WEEK STUCK
INSIDE AND BURIED WITH DEBRIS UP
TO HIS CHEST.
AT SOME POINT FIRE OFFICIALS SAY
THEY ARE NOT SURE WHETHER TWO
OTHER WORKERS WERE IN THE TRENCH
OR JUMPED IT DIG HIM OUT BY
HAND.
HE WAS TAKEN TO SHOCK TRAUMA AND
NO WORD ON HIS CONDITION BUT
FIRE CHIEF ROMAN CLARK SAYS IT
WAS QUITE INTENSE.
>> THEY CAN BE DANGEROUS DUE TO
THE FACT WHENEVER YOU HAVE A
TRENCH AND IT IS NOT SHORED UP
PROPERLY COLLAPSE CAN BASICALLY
END UP BURYING YOU ALIVE.
JENNIFER: BALTIMORE CITY FIRE
SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND
ARRIVED WITH 30 RESCUE WORKERS
AND THEY GOT HIM OUT OF THE
TRENCH AND HE WAS TAKEN TO SHOCK
TRAUMA WHERE
NON-LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES.
AGAIN, AT THIS POINT YOU CAN
SATISFY CONSTRUCTION HAS RESUMED
-- YOU CAN SEE CONSTRUCTION HAS
RESUMED.
THEY ARE PUTTING DIRT BACK IN
THE TRENCH.
THEY ARE PRIVATE CONTRACTORS AND
IN THE WORKING FOR BALTIMORE
CITY BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS A
CITY PUMPING STATION WHERE WE
ARE WORKING.
QUAD IS OPEN AND BOTH DIRECTIONS
OF NORTH POINT OPEN TO TRAFFIC
THIS MORNING.
THAT IS THE LATEST FROM EAST
BALTIMORE.
