We're going to move heaven and earth to rebuild this bridge as rapidly as humanly possible, Mr. Biden said. He called on Congress to help fulfill his promise that the federal government pay to rebuild the bridge.
The damage is devastating, and our hearts are still breaking, he said in his public remarks. Mr. Biden described how the workers had been on a break from filling potholes right before disaster struck.
Just seconds before, Mr. Biden said, one of the men, a 24-year-old, sent a message to his girlfriend that said, We just poured cement, and we're waiting for it to dry. We'll also never forget the contributions these men made to this city, Mr. Biden said.
