Thanks
Thanks 🙏
Thanks I was getting really tired of all the patting each other on the back stuff
Thank you for saving me 6 minutes
Goat thank you
VERY VERY VERY SAD. I hope that somebody will be rescued, TRAGEDY. Prayers from Moscow, Russia
Dude types in Donaldese.
No thanks..keep it over there
Thank you so much from Ohio
We also have Moscow on our minds and hearts after your terrible attack. I watched in real time as the event was being covered extensively before it was even over. Terrible tragedy, just terrible. I don't understand why it took so long for emergency responders to arrive, it must have been an hour before a single ambulance showed up. Is that typical? Surely not...
I think you guys have WAY more things to worry about than a bridge in the US
whish they'd stop starting their speeches by telling everyone just how great they are
This!!
Exactly what a disgrace making it about them smh and talk of releasing "emergency" funding 🙄 we see how this is gonna end up
He praised the first responders! The people putting their lives on the line.
People need to grow up and realize the goverment is made up of people!
You wish they'd stop starting their speeches by thanking the first responders and the people rescuing others? Why?
@@TSBJunkiebecause there are dead and missing people in the water and instead of focusing the attention there, we’re praising colleagues for doing the job they voluntarily signed up for and get paid to do. It’s not like we should be surprised.
As a commercial diver... I cannot begin to explain how difficult and dangerous not only rescue and recovery will be... but salvage and rebuilding... stay safe
Rebuilding isn’t that dangerous. They have so many engineers, physics, machines that do so much work prior to make it a safe area. They’re currently redoing ours in a port city I live in. I wish I could post a photo bc they built an entire layer to work on (that is technically “under” the bridge), before even starting the rebuild. So cool looking. That way they have something very sturdy to stand on. Then they dismantle it once done. But the recovery part is absolutely terrifying with all the debris down there. No way. Our coast guard deserves so much praise.
2 rescues happened hours ago 😊 one with no injury!
2 years to build that bridge.
Stay safe as well! I couldn't even fathom doing the job of a commercial diver... 🙏
It is not a search and rescue. It is a search and recovery. The rescue part ended soon after the bridge collapsed.
Negative, 2 people were in fact rescued. One of them even refused medical treatment
This part. Honor the victims. It’s a recovery. So awful. Those waters are not only scary, but FREEZING. Along with a bridge coming down….they should be saying recovery. I agree. 😢
@@bigb63fsuPeople were rescued hours after it collapsed?
Definitely not true! You have 4 or 5 hours at least!
@@JasonPoole-bz3jjna they got 1 hour at the most, the freezing temperatures well take them
The ship lost power and control. It was a Mechanical/Electrical failure. Tragic, but fortunate this wasn't during rush hour.
Interesting how no one's mentioning the company involved even though they're negligence caused this disaster
How is the vessel experiencing a mechanical failure at the wrong time negligent? The ship lost power twice. No anchor is gonna stop a 150k tonne ship on a dime
I think the people being saved and being looked for, is more important … just saying , I feel like that’s something that is obvious but the people are more important, their lives are more important. the people risking their lives to help are more important.
Because doofus they can’t legally start pointing fingers until they have concrete evidence to prove as such. Sure it’s easy to claim negligence but put they have to bring everything together before they can go on tv and say “it was company X’s fault and here’s why”. Even if it was caused by negligence they can’t just go on tv and say that without doing a proper investigation.
The same vessel that hit the Baltimore Key Bridge on Tuesday, destroying it and sending people and vehicles tumbling into the water, was also involved in a collision while leaving the port of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2016.
According to Vessel Finder and the maritime incident archive Shipwrecklog, the Dali - a 948ft (290-meter) cargo ship with a capacity of 10,000 containers - was leaving the container terminal of Antwerp heading to Bremerhavenm
As it did so, its bow reportedly swung around, causing the stern to scrape the side of the quay, significantly damaging several meters of the hull.
The ship was reportedly detained by authorities afterward and docked in Deurganckdok, Belgium. There were reportedly no injuries or adverse pollution.
I copied this from an article in the guardian
@@goongoon9299 do you think no one is at fault for this?
I'm so sick of seeing them thank each other. Its like the Oscar's or something. 😒
After wake up writing a speech
Why are people so annoyed with each other, the officials didn’t cause the incident, but they will be tasked with providing details, course of action and cleanup. It’s a thankless job. Acknowledging your fellow state and city officials should not draw so much scrutiny
This is why infrastructure matters
Exactly...this particular bridge was constructed in the 70's.
I mean, a cargo ship did ram into a support column. I don't know of many bridges that would still be standing after that.
It doesn't really matter how much you care about infrastructure when a container ship runs into it. Repaving the road on top of the bridge every 5 years wouldn't have stopped this.
Infrastructure matters, but this seems to be an issue where the ship lost power and drifted into the bridge. It would seem more of a procedural issue where tugboats should be required before large ships can continue outside the harbor on their own power.
Infrastructure has nothing to do with this 🤦♂️
Stop patting your selves on the back and do something
Seriously
What are you doing to help?
He’s literally doing his job by addressing the media brainlet
He is doing his job by addressing the media? What exactly are you expecting of him???
exactly these people leech off the taxpayer dime and are in awe of one another for doing what they are paid to do in the first place. You aren't a hero for doin the job you signed up for, they're literaly bankrupting our country as the only occupations left with paid benefits and retirement plans
It was a massive ship and a massive hit on the bridge. Let's not go on a tangent about infrastructure.
Crazy how there were multiple power outages before the ship changed course and steered directly into the bridge.
Not a coincidence I'm sure.
Power outage may have cause loss of steering
Not crazy more like a cyber attack
Human sacrifice by the elite?
Mi primera chamba
This is a horrible event. If you watch the video along with the marine traffic for the area, it looks like the Dali was in her lane going at around 8 knots, then she loses power (at least all the lights go out), and starts to drift out of her lane. Power comes back on, she slows down to around 7 knots and continues drifting out of her lane towards the pylons. It looks like the power flickers off again and partly comes back on just before she hits the pylon. That's a lot of kinetic energy behind a very heavy vessel to strike pylons.
That’s called a cyber attack and then it directed the ship straight onto the support column
Whoa 🤯
Thank you for the assessment.
Thank you for helping us understand!
Very early on this morning there was a report of a hole in the side of the ship. They said fule was leaking out. Had anyone else heard this?
That bridge went down like it was built with MATCHSTICKS!!!!
Yeah. Isn't that weird?
When a ship that heavy hits something , I’m sure anything would collapse like that
@@luispulido5173 Actually it's not. It doesn't take much to bring a truss style bridges like this down. Failure in any key joint and it will all come down quickly. Not to mention the ship dwarfs the bridge. The bridge didn't stand a chance of standing with that hit.
Well… yes? Very big matchsticks, but that’s basically how these bridges are built. Just like how woodframed houses are also made of matchsticks. Just scaled up to jumbo size.
The saddest thing about the news is that it is now extremely difficult to believe what we are told.
SO true!!!
Another Biden price hike again
@@richardhicks4746Do you think the president determines prices? Were you dropped on your head as a child? Like repeatedly?
@@richardhicks4746Man, that Biden Derangement Syndrome! At least if you're gonna have it, let it be over a premise that is valid and true.
This is not news
Who owns that container ship? Did they call for help before hitting that bridge? Is the ship from another country?
It's probably full of junk from China.
Yeah reports coming out now that they lost power and called "mayday" before hitting the bridge.
Did you watch the video your commenting on? The governor clearly states that there was a mayday call and they were able to stop most traffic from entering the bridge prior to the impact
I believe Maersk owns this ship and it was being run by another company.
Probably full of junk from China.
why keep saying the bridge collapsed it was rammed !! collapsed after being rammed !!
It was hit, not rammed. The whole thing was accidental after the cargo ship lost power. There wasn't really anything anyone on the bridge could have done to stop it anymore than a conductor could have gotten out of a runaway train to start pushing on the front.
Because it still collapsed … duh! Like what 🤦🏾♀️ Jesus , yall complain about everything besides what actually matters !
Because it collapsed…..,are you seriously annoyed that they are calling a collapsed bridge a collapsed bridge……
@@physicsunderstander4958 poorly maintained ship .
@@maxsmith695 Where was the ship coming from and who was the captain?
Bridge collapsed so fast like it was dominoes. Who was in that ship?
China
One part of the bridge needs the other parts to keep it together,if one part fails the rest of them fail
Just tell us what happened, not the city history and personal history of each and every first responder.
Nobody thought it was a terrorist attack, it was a ship into a bridge.
The ship lost POWER!!!!!!
GET IT YET
Exacto
Always trying to entertain US
THERE WERE CARS
WE SEE IT
why why keep lying all over all around ?
I think it was! Ship is blowing coal under full power and turns right into the support!
@@justinkanicki8044ship was blowing coal under full power!
FBI will take charge
Why would you just say it appears to be an accident. And start your narative rather than just report the news
😌 well , some us here know they don't tell the truth lol. But you got plenty of idotSavants on here MClovin everything they say 😂😂😂
The ship may have lost power to steering not engines. There was a lot of smoke coming out of stacks engines before hitting bridge were probably in full reverse. If she was travelling at 8 kn it takes a long time to stop a ship especially one that’s fully loaded.
Black smoke came out of the stacks indicating a failure no?
@@goongoon9299 there are propulsion engines and engines for generating electricity. However if they lost all electricity they may lose control of main engines. Ships have everything duplicated and emergency generators to come on line so it would take a bit of time to get everything going again
Pls join me in prayer for all souls touched by this tragedy?? Thank you...😢🙏💜
Joining in your prayer for them . ❤️
Done.🙏🏼🙏🙏🏽🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏
Why wait until the problems have existed. The city should be making mandatory inspection old bridges before too late.
At least one vehicle was driving across the bridge, you can see it in the full video. I have to assume, unfortunately, that those folks are gone. Just a terrible tragedy. No way we should have ships of that mass going by our bridges, any one of them could take out a piling on almost any bridge.
Then how are things going to go to us??? 🤦🏿
At least 6 folks still not accounted for, last I saw. Number may have changed
In the face of stupidity, it looks like that ship ran into the bridge
If ya watch the video. The ship lost power twice before the accident. And if you look closely at the pictures. The portside anchor is dropped and the chain is pulled. Like it was dragging. They tried to stop this.
⭐ We know it did. The truth will come out.
"I'd like to first say a bunch of useless and redundant stuff that the first guy said"
-Everyone that gets on the mic
Kirby will lie and promise them money to rebuild, then turn around and send the $$ to Ukraine.. That bridge was poorly built from the start, because any structure of that size should collapse section by section and not all at once.
better not be my shein package, what even made that shipping boat think it was small enough.
Everytime i drove thro this bridge i always wondered what if .. this bridge falls right now . Maybe its my bridge fobia .
Very blessed to have not been there 🙏🏽
😢 ❤ So sorry for your loss. Our prayers from SD.
This happened in my state of Florida in 80s at sunshine skyway bridge sad I pray for those people
My heart goes out to the families and all of the victims prayers are with you
So sad for the State construction workers that won't be going home today.
😭😭😭
Oh my goodness this is horrible. Prayers to anyone affected 💔🙏
I dearly miss my Maryland today, i hope my family and friends are safe 🙏 stay safe Maryland you are in my prayers.
First responders should be the politicians because they know what it takes and they are not cowards. These people can just sit behind the mic but not be on the field when it comes down to it.
Prayers for all those involved🙏🏻🙏🏻😔
How did the person behind Gov Moore pulling the string stay hidden so well.
Thats a Direct hit, Smashed the suport column, no saving that bridge !
10 minutes of BS and no info!
Is it too much cargo containers? you can't turn the ship if it too way heavy...
"I know a bunch of people died and we lost a bridge but man im doing a great job" im going to make so much money in kickbacks on rebuilding this bridge.
What's sad is I agree with you...
I pray for all the families out there .. this is tragic. My heart is hurting..how TF can this happen. This is why I don't like driving cross bridges smh. Lord please cover your blood over the victims please Lord
Calm down. Chances are like 1 in a trillion.
Amen ❤
I’m sorry, but is this a pep rally, or a NEWS conference? Too much feel good, too little information.
How long will it take to rebuild that bridge? What will happen to that cargo
Imagine the damage cost loss of life n port being closed as well
The ship had a power outage and they couldnt steer it
don’t wanna hear it the ship is at fault we lost 8 good working humans because of the boat
Yeah because that just happens all the time.
Praying for all involved in this disaster 😞🙏🙏🙏
8:21 that one single cone at the end of the bridge.
Imagine the size of that ship those containers are like train boxcars sizes😮
Literally, as we speak.
Prayers for the families and all of you
No support tug boats , vessels are larger every year. MD and the coast guard gambling eventually something will happen. Rip the souls on the bridge and vessel thst were lost

accident? have you taken a look at roads and bridges in most of america?
People saying “why didnt they drop the anchor”
They did and it dragged. No anchor is gonna stop a ship that huge on a dime
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇
When tragedies of this magnitude happens, often unexplainable and unacceptable are any answers or reasoning...
To the survivals peace be still and healing.
My condolences to the love ones of this tragedy...
I wonder if the geometric storm going on with the sun has anything to do with the power outages. I read the G4 storm would show beautiful Aurora but also impact things like GPS and radio, etc.
Continuous prayers 💔💔🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️ God watch over and heal the victims and everyone involved. Keep them strong and safe and warm~
the boat at this size usually has a few pilot boats to guide them in the harbor going in and out. Not sure if this is the case.
Let's leave politics aside and let's focus on praying for any survivors under that mangled mess.
I'm sorry for the people 🙏
Pray for the people that were on that bridge 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Neglect is harm that no one takes credit for.
Praying for the families
Wow! NBC is still on the air?
Isn't this the second bridge to fail in that city? I know a ship hit the support but shouldn't that support be stronger than that?
The commercials airing on this are enough for me to leave.
Bridges are hard for me too
Mother/Father God bless all involved. ❤
Praying for you all
This is so sad 😢
We are living in a scary movie, the media is just as terrifying
Amazing that they already decided it was an accident 🤔
Because there's video both from the waterline and within the cabin of the ship showing that it lost power and that the crew was desperately trying to correct course. Not everything has to be a conspiracy.
It was interesting that the FBI was quick to say "it wasn't a terrorist attack." Why even bring that up? Gives room for speculation now.
@@physicsunderstander4958 ya because they told you everything so you have all the answers 🙄🙄🙄
@physicsunderstander4958 , You could definitely see the power malfunction. I don't believe it was a terrorist attack, but did think the FBI didn't need to bring that up. We live in a time where mob judgement rules through internet and many times lacks logic and destroys lives.
@@ocean3638because people were immediately screaming terrorism on social media.
My prayers are out to the people and families of this horrible accident. 😢😢🙏🙏🕯🕯
I have been on the water, when a ship looses power. They have no steering. The one, I observed, was on the Columbia River, north of Portland, Oregon. We watched it as it went from one side of the river, to the next, and took out a concrete loading dock, at Warehouser lumber shipment dock. The whole front bow piece was crushed in. The fishing died out in seconds of the impact.
Where the ship came from?
I wander if the ship had previous power issue..
Maybe they need to implement tug assist until cargo ships are out in open waters because of bridges
Bridge collapse? It looks like a ship crashed into a bridge. Odd choice of descriptive.
Need more info on this “Mayday”
- he was sooo vague
Who was taking video during bridge collapse?
You know that there are cameras right 😂
Probably a live video feed from static cameras.
You know cameras are everywhere and constantly rolling right? Welcome to earth 2024.
How about you keep the bridges in good shape so people don’t have to die because of your negligence.
THE BARRIER REEF??? HMMM. I WONDER WHERE ALL THAT CARGO WILL END UP??? IS THERE AN AUCTION SITE FOR THE CARGO??? POOR CAPTAIN WAS PROBABLY A HOSTAGE. MARYLAND HAS SOME OF THE BEST BRIDGE BUILDER'S IN THE WORLD. I HOPE THE MISSING HOMOSAPIENS ARE FOUND SAFE.
Bet the folk in on the boat are dei hires
That being said, you can't blame mechanics' failure. You can see the ship lost power a few times. So unless the ship owners/crew had been cutting corners on maintenance this is just a tragic accident. Especially since to steer/control the boat requires power. Even dropping all anchors wouldnt have stopped the momentum and drift
If it's a tragic accident then why do you feel the need to blame the crew anyway?
Man i couldn't imagine being on that thing seeing that massive ship coming at you
Wow they're really patting themselves 9n the back for just doing their job with our money..pathetic
I grew up in pasadena and live in dundalk i have been usingvthis bridge an hace used it my entire life i have driven across in many vehicles from cars to dumpster trucks this bridge has always felt like it was goin to collapse as well as the construction crew or people working on this bridge were not id this country and those who go across the bridge know what im talling about! Ill leave it at that
Appears,is an unanswered and still open question.
Ridiculous, how does this even happen?? How can the boat not see that bridge?
Ship lost power
They lost power multiple times leading up to the collision. Basically they were just floating forward with no way to control the boat.
@@Lycan_Jedi oh ok now I see.. but don't they have tugboats
@@vidaacheampong2563 not when the ship is actively going to sea. This was an active waterway that countless ships used.
Where are the camera shots from the bridge it's self?
You clearly see traffic moving right before impact!
Doesn't make much sense to me, not to have tugboats on a vessel that size until it's clear sailing without obstacles.
Why do these people always need a crowd of serious-faced people standing behind them? Nobody even knows or cares who they are and it's ridiculous. They don't ever say anything either. 😂
It’s sad to know and for our enemies to know how fragile our infrastructure is!!! It’s just sad all the way around
The bridge was hit by a gigantic boat what did you expect?
That's just plain nonsense.
Yes because Republicans are voting against any infalstructue bills, but are taking credit for them once their state receives the money. They keep talking about America first but are voting against any bill that puts it first, even for border security.
Smartest American patriot.
Most bridges in the world are vulnerable to 1000 ton container ships running into them, probably because they were designed by normal human beings rather than paranoid lunatics.
Did the computer quit working which made it malfunction
the power went out... so you cant blame just the computer for this... without power you don't have navigation or propulsion control
How long was it without power? And why didn't the captain drop anchor?
They say no other vehicles went in but they released a video with 4 civilian vehicles 1/3rd of the way across when it went down how do they continue to say no other vehicles in the river!!!!
the size of the cargo ship compared to the bridge looks wrong to start with, i would not chance allowing ships of that size to pass under, exspesially without those diverter structures that push ships out away from bridges, why they were not in place if ships of this size were allowed to pass through. its a miracle that the bridge was not thick with traffic, it could of been so much worse,
Big talk
11:00 what do you mean you don’t believe there is anyone in vehicles in the water?! You can see the cars go down with the bridge.
Preventable Catastrophic Accident. Absolutely preventable.
These press conferences do not need to be 90% back slapping others.
God it's the skyway bridge all over again.
