  • A container ship has rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. It was also not clear what caused the cargo ship to crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge long before the busy morning commute in what one official called a “developing mass casualty event”

      All the traffic both ways would had gone down with it. Not enough time for cops to show up after the mayday call.
      So, in essence the 6 construction workers who lost their lives actually saved dozens of commuters' lives. If it would had been during rush hour, then potentially hundreds of commuters.... Oh, the terror... 😱

    What were the orange/red flashes like fireworks and molten sparks at all the breaking points along the entire length of bridge? Amazing how people see what they want to believe which is usually what their authority tells them. In architectural technology in college we designed countless bridge structures to test in lab and the reaction of the Key bridge from the boat just doesn’t make logical sense to me as bridges have multiple fail safes built in, to not just totally fail in the way that was shown on this video. This is just another very clear example of what has been going on but historically more in the dark. All the world is a stage!

    • @orangejuliaa
      @orangejuliaa Месяц назад +1

      there’s a light at the very top of the bridge, which is where you can see one of the sparks. also, most of the sparks were in areas where the supporting material bend downwards (V), which could’ve forced positive and negative ends of a cable to touch and spark.

    • @ArnulfoSalgado
      @ArnulfoSalgado Месяц назад +1

      You realize electrical cables ran through this bridge right? Are you that stupid? Yes there are bridges with failsafes. But a lot of old bridges weren’t built with those failsafes. This bridge also had no pier protection and was partially a cable sustained bridge. That’s very delicate to an impact from a 400,000+ pound loaded container ship.

    • @LordPadriac
      @LordPadriac 29 дней назад +2

      That would be the high tension wires that power the bridge lights, provide power for maintenance crews all along the bridge and serve electricity from one side of the bridge to the neighborhood on the other side. If you've ever seen a telephone pole get hit by a drunk and come down you'd recognize it.

    • @melvinlapp846
      @melvinlapp846 26 дней назад

      Use common sense. If the bridge would have been compromised with bombs like the World Trade Center was, then the explosions would have happened before the bridge started falling, like it did on 9/11.
      But here, I can only see explosions after the bridge started moving. That's the result of power cables popping.
      If you pay close attention, the fireballs happened after the bridge sections started severing, not before.

      They were deployed. Seriously do your research. The boat lost power way too close to the bridge for them to do anything. The anchors need time to stop a boat with that much momentum. They don’t just stop it in its tracks the second they hit the bottom of the channel.

      appears there was nothing holding the front and back of the bridge, seems like the bridge was just laying on the ground using its weight to hold it in place... no anchors?

    • @Linkathon
      @Linkathon День назад

      Guys you do understand what a suspension bridge is right? It has 2 support pillars on either side and a long span between them. A famous example being the Golden Gate Bridge.
      Now picture this, you remove one of those 2 pillars. Of course the bridge is going to fall. It relies on those pillars for support. If you remove one the other is useless because gravity pushes the side with no pillar down and lifting the side with the pillar. Crumpling the structure.
      It’s not flimsy, it just wasn’t designed for a several ton cargo ship to hit one of the pillars. Also there’s really no way to make a bridge withstand that anyway.
      This argument is honestly really dumb. Because then you could argue that the twin towers were flimsy because they didn’t survive getting hit by 2 airplanes.

      There’s power cables going across the bridge for its lights and etc. When lines snap violent power arching can occur, the electrical power released often looks like an explosion.
