Asking if they were warned is a moot point, this all happened in 5 minutes with the mayday call only being 1-2 minutes before the impact. It's understandable if that was not enough to get people who are actively working and out of their vehicles off the bridge. Wish they would stop pressing that question.
right ?? thats a huge bridge its not like you're looking at the water and can hear the calls you would need a lot of time to get out of there !! So sad for all those bridge workers it's absolutely horrible to plunge into that water Im sure they will try and recover the men lost!!
Perhaps a local can correct me on this, but that should have been plenty of time to get them to the other support tower. This is a bridge that's a total of 1.6 miles long, the distance between the two support towers is only a few hundred feet. The decking and the supports are what generally go when a suspension bridge collapses, so simply getting them to the other support tower would have been enough.
That being said, that's easier said than done when you're trying to communicate quickly and from the sound of it, the workers may not have spoken English as their first language, which would have made it more problematic and I'm benefiting from hindsight.
It's not really pointless to say as it's a question a lot of people probably had and not everybody watches the news all the way through, so they repeat some things.
That’s my exact thought like it happened so fast and those workers were just out of luck to be honest. Most of them were in the middle of the bridge and even if they tried to get out . The bridge was so long that it was so late
@@SmallSpoonBrigade It wasn't a suspension bridge.
Gov. Moore doing a great job of keeping us informed. This is what leadership looks like.
Maryland Tough! Baltimore Strong!
Savannah Guthrie asks the most idiotic questions. Worst TODAY. Host. Ever.
People started blaming crew members. Its an accident. Indian crew members already warned local authorities to evade more casualties. So be positive ❤. Deep condolence to their families of deceased persons😢.
Why is the government offered to pay for the bridge disaster when the shipping company had insurance?
The power went out, recovered for a few seconds, and went out a 2nd time just before the impact.
I have a question for you, how does a boat come about hard starboard when the port anchor was digging up the bottom of the canal?
Not enough anchor chain had played out to make a difference of any kind. And at that speed, the anchor, had a very slim chance of actually seating itself in the river bed
@@fatdaddio3796 so the chain pulling left would have helped the ship make a right? Sure, ok...
Most of the time, the cargo fell in the water
You get in the water heroic governer … show that Baltimore toughness
be president be president all Latinos in support of the governor ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If the ship lost control of steering why did it take a hard turn right into the pillar? Looks kind of suspect.
sloppy work this will get them caught.
@williamlake-tl9rg IJS it looks kind of suspect.
@@Sbxallday illuminati Trump behind this
I am from the area and I can tell you the current is very strong in that river and the ship was at the mercy of the current@@Sbxallday
Yeah, took a hard right when the left anchor was lowered... a bit suspect I agree
Why is he talking about the economic impact? People just lost their lives, and unless that money is coming directly out of your pocket, it's irrelevant. We spend trillions of dollars on bs for other countries, so why is it an economic problem for us to spend only hundreds of millions on this country?
🙏💗🙏🏽
Censorship is the tool used when your lie loses power.
Even MSNBC left my comment up, what does that make you?
Give the contract to the Chinese they'll have it rebuilt in a day
Why are they only ever referring to the 6 workers. What about people in the cars? Why are they never mentioned? Bizarre
The cars on the bridge were construction vehicles
@@Blacklightdtb There are other videos where you can see cars drive past exactly at impact who I would highly doubt made it across in time
😮workers at 1 in the morning on the bridge WHY? If they were doing repairs then why was bridge even opened? I think it's an accident but still too many questions unanswered yet they want us to feel at ease
@thisismetoday I watched every video I could find. The best one I saw showed no other vehicles driving by at the time of impact. There are a few edited videos that have been shown by news outlets that make it look like other vehicles were on the bridge. It's just spliced footage. You know how media outlets love to make it look worse than it really is. 6 is bad enough, but if they can make it look like there were more, they'll jump on it for ratings. There's actually a substantial amount of time between the last vehicles going across the bridge, and the impact of the ship. The only vehicles that were out there were construction workers.
@@thisismetoday Not true
governor run for president be president
There goes his immigration problem... Now they are going to invade New Jersey and New Port News VA....😂😂😂😂
Bill Gates and Dr Fauci 's Bytedance CCP BIGO Ticktock TracTrac plan.....
Morpheus?
Another Nothing Burger Interview. Foreign Cranes, reportedly bugged.
I'm a nacho bandit
That would be bandits, my friend 😂
Why do you not show the ship turn towards the support? I think you should show the ship up to impact? Are you hiding something.
At this point, I'm not sure that is the question... a better query would be " how much are they hiding" not that you will ever get a straight answer....
Man you guys should have seen the smile on this governor face at 6 am when he did his first tv thing he was smiling cheek to cheek
This was planned.
Of course. Every bad thing that happens on earth is planned. Earthquakes, tornadoes, bridge collapses, whale beachings etc. There's always someone who says it's all planned. Perhaps a trip to a neurologist might alleviate the conspiracies.
Agree
Didn’t you democrats defund nearly 30 million from Baltimore police, Marine/Harbor authorities, and harbor underwater recovery team units?
@@james82159well, you can’t post links on YT or they yank your account for suspensions.. Did you try googling “Baltimore defunds police and marine units”? (I see it right there in their local paper(6/17/00)... specifying the itemized cuts of nearly 2 mill to marine units alone .. (forcing police/fire to combine what’s left).. but YOU knew this, right,just didn’t think anyone would call you bluff and explain what democrat hysteria did after G Floyd
@@james82159yeah, it’s called “INTERNET SEARCH”.. (look at 6/17/20, in their local infamous paper for breakdown of the defunding bill).. You can’t post links on YT or suspended, but YOU knew that as I see you post the same exact hit n run reply on other comments.. (any serious debaters here? )
Probably not, most of that is typically a combination of the coast guard and the fire department. It's unlikely that the police would be involved in that directly as there isn't a lot of criminal investigation under water that can't be more appropriately accomplished by other people.
Sad
Glad MD Governor wiped his giddy smirk off he had yesterday from the federal money he received. NOW Thats the face of a concerned Governor. 😘🇺🇸❤️RIP
They did not notify anyone working on that bridge! Stop lying
When "Baltimore Ravens" took knee during Key's words before game... What did ya think was going to happen to a bridge named after him. Karma is in your face, NFL & others are just as guilty as anything else to as what happened.
Fun fact the bridge is named after the person who wrote our national anthem. I’m sure it will be renamed after someone like fentanyl Floyd or Breanna Taylor.
He wrote the lyrics to our national anthem, not our national anthem. The tune itself was British in origin by John Stafford Smith.
I have been very critical of our governor since he took office. I do not agree with the majority of his policies, I think they are absolutely horrible for Marylanders unless you are one of the many recipients living in Prince George’s, Montgomery, Baltimore, Howard, Charles counties, Baltimore City and Salisbury that receive the billions of dollars in failed entitlements. However, I will say in this instance, this Governor has immediately stepped up and empowered agencies to do their jobs quickly and efficiently. I applaud his actions and leadership in this instance. So far, a job well done! As far as the two commentators on this show, their questions were amateurish and embarrassing!
In reality, who cares what you think...
SO you assume that people living in the most populated areas in the wealthiest state in America receive entitlements. Where do you live? The taxes I pay in Baltimore County probably pay for entitlements in the rural farming areas of the state.
