There’s a big rig that just made it across the bridge right before the collapse. That trucker is one lucky son of a gun. 🙏🏼
Well, they tell us that " Brave Cops " stationed at both ends of bridge stopped traffic saving many lives. If that report is true then why did we see big trucks crossing only seconds before that ship took down the bridge? Something isn't right.
@@jefffrayer8238it all happened in four minutes. May Day call to collapse. Police in right place at right time. Truck probably started before the stopped traffic. May have slowed for bridge work. Thank you police officers who risk all every day for us. Where would we be without you?🇨🇦🇨🇦
@deniscelballos9745: My thoughts exactly
Wasn’t their time
Wow talk about timing. 1:30 am. Imagine if that was 8 am. Or high noon. Instead of high moon
Only moving at 8 miles an hour. I grew up on the Rocky shores of Newfoundland. I used to love watching from signal hill all the ships.
I live 5 miles from the bridge and felt the rumble when it went down. Several other people thought it was thunder from a storm coming up. I grew up in the little town 2 miles from the bridge. It had steep ramps because the deck had to be so high for cruise ships and cargo ships to get into the harbor. I was stunned when it came on the news around 2am. I've driven over it many, many times. So sad. Love to all from Baltimore.
Prayers for the workers on the bridge ( the blinking yellow light ) ,and their families.
To all the people wondering why the bridge fell so easily- no bridge will withstand getting hit by a ship this large.
There’s zero protection around the pillars if you look at Google maps
I bet there are some with enough protection around their piers ... But there are also a LOT with just some channel bollards like this bridge had. No chance against 200 million pounds at 8 knots.
U r absolutely right, no bridge can take a DIRECT hit like this. That is why we should prevent a ship this large from DIRECTLY hitting the main structural support in the first place.
It's true but the bridge was built in 1972 and large fenders designed to direct marine traffic away from the bridge supports or an island built around the pier could have been built, but nothing was done over the years despite the increasing size of vessels. In the end, tug escorts should be compulsory until any large vessels crosses the bridge. Essentially, nothing was done to prevent these kinds of events over the years.
How deep is the water at this location?
Imagine being one of those last vehicles to make it over, then finding out what you just escaped.
can you imagine being the worker who WALKED AWAY???
or being one of the first vehicles in traffic after police closed off the bridge and seeing that thing come down
Being a naval architect, I notice the pronounced flare of the ship's bow, being typical for all ships designed for carrying containers on deck (requiring max beam up close to the bow in order to facilitate more containers).
This means that the impact with the A-shaped pillars (viewed from the ship) was at THE SHIP's DECK LEVEL while the slimmer hull at the waterline was clear of the solid river-bed concrete slab into which the pillars trancend.
Pay close attention to the ship collision with bridge's pillars at 5:34. Strangely there are no plumes of concrete dust emanating from the impact point at the deck level of the ship.
However, plumes of concrete dust can clearly be seen shooting away at the base, far below the actual impact level. Not just on the inclined pillars facing the ship, but strangely enough also on the ones facing away from the impact.
Video taken by drones in daylight of the damaged bridge, shows that all the four A-shaped concrete pillars were snapped off at the base where they trancend into the solid river-bed concrete slab.
How can this be explained?
Bet up the state is kicking itself now considering they rejected putting the pier bumpers to protect this bridge. Morons !!
It wouldn’t matter this is a very large heavy ship
Those bumpers would stop some much smaller boats/ships but consider that a 100,000 ton sheared off the whole support. No bumpers could have shipped it.
The Financial impact to the American economy will be the secondary disaster.
Do you have proof, @williamcap2236?
I grew up in Baltimore, and drove over that bridge thousands of times, but never thought this was a possibility. There was another video breakdown by an engineer, who made the most valid point out of all of this [Paraphrase only, NOT a direct quote from that streamer]: "The first blackout was the main power failing." "Then you see black smoke, the indicator for emergency power." "Sadly the backup failed too, which should NEVER HAVE HAPPENED."
Is there anyone here who actually can summarize the events? In context: you must know about ports, maritime laws, shipping containers, and cargo vessel design, procedure, policy, and implementation of certain rules that govern these ships through any and all ports through the world, including the US of course. I do not know these things, and WILL NOT pretend to know to jump into a conversation.
Thank you, may the six men who perished have eternal peace, and may their families find closure under their own terms....🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
There is no bridge in the world that would have withstood an impact on a main support from a ship that big going that speed.
This video shows two blackouts. It also shows that initially, the ship’s course was too tight. Then you see that the ship is trying to slow down, apparently at full throttle backwards, as it suddenly produces black smoke. Because of this attempt to stop the ship at full power, the ship’s aft is moving to port, so that the bow is moving towards the pillars of the bridge. At that point the ship is still moving forward, directly towards the pillars.
In my opinion, if the captain wouldn’t have tried to stop the vessel but instead would have given extra power forward, steering away from the pillars, it would not have hit the bridge.
The Captain also dropped the Port anchor! Thats the reason for the sharp turn to Starboard shortly before impact.
Yeah,the captain was probably intoxicated.😂
People died, its not a joke!
Steering was completely out.
Epstein Island 🏝️🏖️
I count 26 seconds after the last vehicle passed the left side of the screen prior to the ship's impact and the collapse starting
Yes. I noticed that, too.
Credit the communication and safety efforts of those on duty. They managed to stop the traffic.
Yeah they got super lucky and they luckily stopped traffic
Its actually really lucky. 90 seconds from the mayday call to the bridge collapse. Police cars were on location to enforce a slow speed zonr for construction when they got the call to close the bridge.
After looking at bridges in the bay area, compared to that bridge, that bridge has zero protection on the pillars for as many ships that cross there, you think there would be a barrier
The wackadoodles are out in force.
This is very sad to see. But it very important for the investigation. As to what happened. Thank you for sharing this.
Why does it appear as though the ship turn to starboard(right) and right into bridge support, almost like that's what it meant to do.
At the same point the ship lost power, another current enters the main shipping lane from the ship’s right side, which pushed the rear of the ship to the left. The ship’s master had the bow anchor dropped at about that time, which also started the ship turning slightly.
When the power came back on, the rudder was not working (there’s a light that lights up the bow when the rudder is working, and it doesn’t light up for some time, and almost as soon as it did, the power went out again.
If they did try to reverse the engines, that would have dragged the rear of the ship to the left, and we don’t know what position the rudder was in when the power went out.
At this point, the ship is starting to veer to the right. It’s still in the shipping lane, but as it keeps moving forward to the right, it heads toward the tower.
One Canadian marine expert said that any of these things can happen at any time, and if you’re at sea, it makes no difference. But here, it became “the perfect storm.”
Yep
Dropping anchor could have made it shift accidentally too. The ship was going to go where it wants to go.
It helps if you're not a conspiracy theorist. Get a life!!
I have no comments as the biggest boat that I ever piloted is still in my bathtub
It’s a terrible tragedy for those who lost their life and injured
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank You Al Stinger
The same type of accident happened in Florida back in the 80s. Cars and if I remember correctly, a bus went down with it.
Sunshine skyway bridge
Thank you for the detailed information. I am wondering why their was no Tug accompanying the cargo vessel until it passed the bridge safely? These Jumbo cargo vessels should not be allowed into estuaries anymore. Before they finish pointing the finger of blame, which ultimately will be the captain, lets send some compassionate thoughts of healing to the families surviving the deaths related to this incident. How tragic.
🙏🏻😮💨
Prayers for the family's involved.🙏
Tugs did pull it out then dismissed. A USA md pilot captain was at the helm in full charge of the ship as they always are going in and out of ports. Mechanical failure would not be the fault of a captain.
There were vehicles on that bridge just seconds before it collapsed.
The work crew vehicles
Police managed to close the entrances to the bridge only 30 seconds before someone who went on the bridge would have gone down with it. Incredibly fast reaction time. An officer was already driving towards the worker vehicles to warn them but it collapsed first. The officer was not on the part that collapsed yet when it happened.
This was an entirely preventable accident. Totally inadequate pier protection allowed the ship to strike one of the main bridge piers. This didn't have to happen.
Seeing all of them big rigs go across the bridge before it was taken down. That is eerie. I drive a truck as well, and I have been over that bridge at that time of the night.
The ship was never in the center of the channel
It was perfectly on course until power went out. This picture is not 90 degrees from the bridge.
SHip captain had to of been drunk
@@yettimannettii2039 Cause that makes the lights go out and the engine choke
It definitely appears that the ship turned way too soon and could have avoided the collision if it were piloted properly, even though it was experiencing mechanical and electrical difficulties.
The motorists and truck drivers were extremely fortunate to have gotten across before the bridge collapsed. It is very unfortunate that the work crew on the bridge were not able to evacuate before the collision occurred, and it is a miracle that one of them did survive at all. There was no way apparently, to ensure their safety in this particular incident.
My prayers go out to their immediate families and their relatives and friends.
It's sad that the bridge named after the man who wrote the Star Spangled Banner collapsed like our country is on the verge of doing.
With the technology currently available, it should be possible to provide a warning when a collision course is eminent, and have a way to stop traffic before they get on the bridge.
It turned into the pier!
No! The pier turned into the ship. It was all the pier's fault.
It drops anchor on the side it turns to. The dragging of the anchor is what turns it. Allegedly.
the road on the bridge is now on board the ship.
The door was a jar.
@@timbaldwin6283 mason?
Remember the Sunshine bridge incident
no
Did you go and research it?@@yettimannettii2039
Yes
This video is sourced from the upload by StreamTime Live's cliped upload and not from the stream itself. The upload is just a cropped screen recording of their own stream with some added weird color and sharpness filters which just take away more detail. The actual stream was in 1080p60 and has much different colors. I have a copy of that original stream screen capped at 1080p60 H264 at 8.5 mbps for four minutes before collapse, at collapse, and three hours after words. Quality is much different compared to their upload on the official account. But I don't blame you for using this upload as the original stream was not saved and the rewind of it was long gone by the time many became aware of it.
Correct. The only copy I could find was 1080p 30FPS and quality was not great. No biggie just for general discussion anyway. Thanks for visiting !!
@@kraggman That’s okay. Just wanted to point out the source media specs just in case someone is curious about it. And yeah the 1080p30 ones on RUclips are not that much better either and are shorter.
What traffic pattern was the ship supposed to take. It’s looks like he can clear it
5:41 notice the truck sitting on the bridge to the right of the center of the bridge with flashing lights. This was the road crew or construction company truck.
Sad
You go fast motion and it looks like the ship directly turned and aimed for the support.
Yes it does !!!
Why was it so close to that stanchion?
It was not explosives, there’s power lines that run across the top of the bridge, it is those lines breaking at collapse, your clearly seeing sparks not explosions
As awful a tragedy as this was, I can't believe that there were not more casualties from this than there were. No vehicles It looks like just the road crew fixing potholes. Two survived, incredibly. The other six, RIP, you and your families are in my prayers. I never saw a structure of that size just go down like that...
The cops stopped traffic on the bridge when they heard the ship was out of control. It probably saved some lives. They also were trying to warn the maintenance crew but I don’t think they would have had time to get off in time.
The ship’s crew alerted authorities when they lost power and started to drift. Port authorities alerted a construction crew on the bridge. I believe that the construction crew managed to shut down traffic on one end of the bridge.
"I never saw a structure of that size just go down like that..."
It went down just as expected, engineering wise. This was of a cantilever design without any redundancy. In these designs a failure in any one part will propagate to the rest of the structure. Many bridges are built of this design. There is nothing unique about this particular bridge.
@@robindelude3787cops did
Ship weighs 948 tons. You try it.
Why wasn’t the traffic stopped sooner??
The mayday was called when the ship lost power. That saved countless lives as traffic was stopped
The first responders that blocked traffic didn't know.
Watched at 10x speed it looks intentional. Full throttle and turned right into it.
Yes I agree, why did it back up straight into that bridge.
Maybe bridges should all have proximity alarms. Once a big ship gets to close alarms go off and entrances on automatically close. Loud alarms sound and tell drivers to exit as quickly as possible.
Seen here it strikes you how much space is not pier. To hit the pier is something 😢
Those vehicles on the road, look really eerie tbh.
I’m not convinced or convinced we’ll even be told the truth. When that Cargo ship started having issues and loosing power it wasn’t heading straight towards the Bridge but in the final minutes it turned directly towards the Bridge Support. Best defense is the investigators and our Government will do everything possible to attribute this to anything but intentional.
You can see two white flashes go off just as the bridge snapped. One was on left top of the bridge. The other is top right side of the bridge. The bridge snapped exactly at both those white flashes!!!
With all the HD Camera footage of this bridge, it should be easy going back through the footage to see who & when someone climbed the top rails of the bridge supports. I am not an expert! Just what I seen by pausing the video at many intervals to see in slow motion.
I think Someone planned this bridge collapse in my opinion but it’s my uneducated guess. Hopefully they will find the real reason for this tragedy and loss of life.
Possibly electrical cables for the lighting ??
Just stop with the sillyness. It's clearly the electrical cables breaking. The only thing that could've possibly happened, even if it did happen, is that the ship got hacked and electronically controlled which is not likely though because the pilots knew what was happening because they called in Mayday to report the problem
Dude….wtf! Just stop…just…STOP
You know, you could simply have mentioned that you are not an expert, and been the first American to realize this is actually a reason to just shut up, exhibiting a rare wisdom much needed in this age of bellowing, entitled bullshitters.
But no, you had to make a whole article spouting horsepucky in spite of admitting to knowing nothing, just like a typical American.
Missed opportunity, dude.
😑👎🏻
What are those flame flash's at the top of the bridge just before it collapses ?
The electric cables ripping apart from initial impact.
Power lines.
In a world full of cameras everywhere, WHY in the hell there’s only one freaking view point of this incident.
But I agree that was not an accident, the entire section fell at the precise moment of impact. Besides under the cover of darkness and lack of cameras from the bridge entrance and exit locations, it’s the perfect set up.
I definitely agree with you, looks intentionally done to me
Oh FFS, enough with the idiotic conspiracy theories, already. Jeezus. 🤮
Enough with the "conspiracy theories." It was an ACCIDENT.
Take a look at the Sunshine Skyway Bridge collapse in Tampa in 1980; also the case of a vessel (smaller than this one) striking a bridge support and bringing that bridge down. Everything isn't a plot by the "deep state." Only weak minds need to pretend that they have insider knowledge that makes them feel "special." Unless you're a bridge engineer or involved in the maritime industry, you know NOTHING. Why not take up knitting or something useful?
I'll say it again: i think the pilot "balked" at going under the bridge because of the flashing lights up there (constr crew & police cars). He may have thought there was a work crew suspended under the span on a gantry & tried to reverse. (An accident happened many yrs ago @ Verrazzano bridge with work crew on lower roaddeck when fuel barge passed below at that moment). Would love to know if Dali had filed a "Proceedure Plan" to pass under Key Bridge. Just a thought...
I know it’s the angle and depth of field that makes it deceiving, but it almost looks like had they not try and turn, they would’ve not hit the pylon.
maintenance vehicle was clearly crushed from the top from the falling structure.
Cameras are everywhere.. enhancements and close ups can provide proof of just about anything.
I live here.😢
You should watch this fast. Clearly not an accident.
Clearly an accident. The ship lost power. It happens more than you know
Incorrect
All it had to do was go straight. Why turn right into it?
That's the million dollar question.
who is fliming this who is filming a bridge at night
It could be a camera off to side somewhere, and live
24hr livestream camera
3:08 Helicopter could've rescued the construction workers.
4:02 Wonder what the last truck driver thought when he saw the smoke rise up from below.
The bridge can be rebuilt with all of these learned lessons in its updated design. Or, we could just give huge tax cuts to Bezos and Musk!
I vote for upgrading US transportation infrastructure.
Why, just why wasn’t the bridge being upgraded and protected by all the learned lessons? Besides saving money of course?
Experts claim they threw it into full reverse, maximum power full reverse.
This clearly shows it speeding up at the last instant... rapidly.
I bet that 'reversing' story is to cover any witness claiming to hear the engines gun. (they gunned it full speed AHEAD)
Omg bs. Don’t listen to anyone who does not know ships. It was at 8 knots then dead in water. They threw out bow anchor it’s too late. You can’t stop a moving city on a dime . It was a tragic accident
Probably. Exactly what it looks like.
And the moon is made of cheese!!
This captain of this Ship should be brought up on charges. he knew full well if he kept the course he was going he was going to hit that bridge and shouldve taken evasive actions the 2 times that the power came back up to steer away from the bridge and instead he steered directly into the bridge so yeah he should be brought up on charges
Is it me or does it seem like the boat went PAST the bridge support, and then bridge collapse? Weird?
Yeah…it’s just “you”
It’s definitely you
It can be appreciated how many interpret the swerve of the ship as 'deliberate' but it was apparently the way physics works when trying desperately to stop such an unstoppable object as a large, heavily laden freight vessel. I wonder what the intended course was - whether it was to the left or right of the pillar that was struck. Try as I may I cannot see any evidence of charges detonating, too. Maybe that's just fevered imaginations at work.
It was supposed to go to the right of the pillar; however, when it lost propulsion, the current pushed it to the left and into the pillar.
@@theresedavis2526 Thanks for explaining that and it does, indeed, explain a lot.
Lord please comfort the loved ones of the deceased....
I'm thinking the Mothman had something to do with it. 😊
No pier bumper or guard will stop a vessel that size. Hell it drug the entire bridge after it fell on it, for prob 50 feet.
I don't know how they can say that was a safe bridge when it was built because I didn't have the things around all the supports and second of all is that thing fell down it was an Erector Set from back in the 60s
Minneapolis experienced something similar years ago. It devastated the community and traffic for years. City officials are heartless towards citizens. We are pawns and votes to them more than beating hearts. When there aren’t contingencies for things like this it reminds me of how ill prepared government was for Covid. We are forced to pay taxes to people who continue to allow us to die in avoidable situations. Disgusting. Condolences to the families.
Right on.
That big rig was one lucky sun of a gun getting across that bridge before it collapsed thank God. . It didn't look like there was any other cars on that bridge the time..
This is scäry äs hëll
5:33
Jak wszystko w USA, fajne i zajebiste dopóki się nie zawali. Brak jakichkolwiek zabezpieczeń. Most też zamknęli w ostatnich sekundach
where is the zoom?
That truck was crushed by the steal beams that sandwiched the truck between the road and steel.
Why isn't there barriers protecting this from happening?
where is the train that Biden rode on across that bridge????????
I thought steel sharpened steel?
How is it that they closed the bridge but yet so many cars were going by in both directions. Smh
Who's responsible for this?
My main question: Why did the ship abruptly steer directly into the bridge supports instead of continuing straight ahead ?? Many questions need to be answered.
Could they not gone around, that part of the bridge.
There's this thing known as a current....
a UFO flew right over this
What’s the captains name ?

We're there any cars involved? Did the ship blow its horn as a warning? Thank God it didn't happen during rush hour...
Ship had no power.
At 6:50 you can see someone crawl out of the water onto the last triangle section before the bridge sinks into the water on the far right. Watch him crawl out and stand in the middle of it. There may be two.
Maybe instead of having concrete slabs holding up the bridge, let get steel beams next time, beams 1 foot thick, totally ridiculous
Everything is all setup ,.first it was the trains, now its our Bridges... Wake up people
I’m guessing the earthquake is a setup and so is the eclipse? How about climate change?

@@stevenrogers9263 🤯🤣
Ships are wired like houses with circuits and circuit breakers. They have emergency lighting and total electrical failure is near impossible. This was no accident
ive been trying to call out all you morons...but its endless...show me your degree Einstein
Bullshit! Ships go dead in water more than you know. It’s not uncommon.
No Tugboats in sight, astonishing
In Baltimore they don't use tug boats. Instead a native captain drives the ship in/out of port.
They used tugs when it started from the port about half an hour earlier. And when it lost control the tugs headed back to it, but couldn’t reach it in time.
They were present and dismissed. All systems were fine and then epic failure. It happens more than you know all around the world
They were in the vicinity! They had just released the ship several minutes before it lost power.
I pray they find all the victims and iam also praying for their families
They should rename the new bridge to honor the workers that lost there lives
The workers were from Central America. Name it the Daniel Ortega Bridge!
I disagree. That bridge marked the general area Francis Scott Key, held as a POW while the British was bombing Ft. McHenry and the inspiration of the National Anthem. Memorial plaques, yes, but keep the bridge name.

Sorry for the spelling mistakes but I am mad!!
Never underestimate what our government is willing to do to get what they want. This doesn't look accidental. There's several flashes at the top of the bridge before it started to fall.
It looks so purposely done...why is the ship sailing sooo close to the pillar? Y wasn't it more out or further from the pillar and closer to the BIG wide clear open space where if cud have passed with out hitting that pillar. These people Kno exactly what they're doing.very sad
Hey, Ignoramus!.... The ship lost power, and subsequently lost propulsion. Without propulsion, it was at the mercy of the river's strong current. It dropped anchor but the anchor only slowed it down a bit!
My goodness you’re clueless, the ship lost power, let that sink in for a moment.
sorry but it appears to me to actually maneuver between the barriers and straighten up to directly center the bridge supports before striking it, this doesn't look like an accident to me.....
Looks deliberate to me. What's a ship doing cruising that close to a support, in the first place?
So why did they call a mayday and do their evil doings at 1:30am?
@@sdsmt99That's how sneaky they are! The absence of evidence is evidence of a clever cover-up! (sarcasm)
It got too close because it lost power, as you can see near the beginning of the video. But of course you’ll say that was deliberate too.
@@sdsmt99 What does time of day have to do with the matter?
AND NO ONE KNEW?????? LOL, wake up sheep.
The ship was way off course long before the power failed. Obvious navigation error. The ships Engines were full reverse long before impact.
The ship was perfectly on course until the first power failure! 🙄
Ship was just starting on a month long trip and died before it went five miles😅
Lol
It appears that this ship actually accelerated because if you look at the stacks you will notice thick exhaust smoke suddenly appears.
In reverse
Smoke from a stack can mean anything and is not indicative of acceleration.
You are not supposed to say that! It was an unfortunate accident.
The black smoke could be the engines coming back up to pressure after the power outage, it could be the engines going into reverse, and some marine experts have said that in recent years, changes in grades of diesel fuel sometimes result in dirty combustion at certain times.

This bridge only collapsed because a ship from another country hit one of the bridge supports.
a ship carrying dangerous materials.
🤦♂️ Morons.
Why mention a ship from another country?
@@yettimannettii2039 Nearly all container vessels carry *something* that would be classified as "dangerous material" in some container. There are rules about handling them. Nothing unusual about shipping dangerous goods. Improperly handled, you'd be surprised what common items are considered to be dangerous cargo. Walk through your local hardware DIY retail store and a fair percentage of the merchandise offered is potentially flammable, corrosive, reactive or otherwise harmful if mishandled. How do you think that stuff got to the store - Santa's sleigh?? Whether moved by land, rail or sea, nobody cares about them unless there's an accident. Then the indignation that the stuff was allowed to be moved around.
That ship should have had tug boats. Focus on changing that rule for all larger ships on inland waterways. Other nonsense like the nationality of the crew and ship's flag state and what's in the cargo is only relevant to the people who need to book the paperwork clean the mess up. The NTSB will dive deep into anything that may be even slightly relevant before it's done, @KayInMaine. Cheers.
@@SarahsAtticOfTreasures because other countries like to cut corners or are not as strict on safety measures and are not as bright as other countries.
