 What we know about the Baltimore bridge collapse as a third body is found and Biden visits
==========

A third body has been found at the site of the Baltimore bridge collapse. The body was identified as 38-year-old Maynor Yasir Suazo-Sandoval. Cleanup efforts are underway to recover the bodies of the three workers who remain missing. Engineers expect to restore navigation in and out of the Port of Baltimore by the end of this month. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers aims to reopen a permanent navigation channel by the end of May. President Joe Biden visited the site of the bridge collapse and met with the workers' families. The White House is asking Congress to authorize the federal government to cover 100% of the cleanup and reconstruction costs. Isabel Casillas Guzman, the administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, visited Baltimore to highlight a low-interest loan program for affected businesses. Safety experts question whether the company the workers worked for took proper precautions. The company, Brawner, did not have a rescue boat on the water or ready to be launched as the bridge fell.
