Julio Cervantes Suárez is the only worker who survived a fall into the waters of Baltimore after a massive ship crashed onto the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March, causing its collapse.

Speaking to NBC News, he shared his harrowing experience and recalled seeing his family members and friends disappear into the river. As he braced for his own fall, he said, he turned to prayer in what he believed were his final moments.
