Video shows moments before cargo ship strikes Baltimore Key Bridge

- We have new information on the investigation and what video shows moments before impact. This is not the first time this vessel has been involved in a collision.
What a nightmare. I’m sorry for the victim’s family and also thankful that the bridge wasn’t full of traffic when it went down.
So I guess I don’t have an irrational fear of bridges
Just moments earlier there were dozens of vehicles on that bridge.
They stopped the traffic miraculously
Please note that the ship was being piloted by two pilots - not by any of its crew - as is the norm. The ship’s crew does not get control until the ship is in international waters.
International waters is approx 24 miles of the coast, 100 miles of Australia pilots don't stay for that long..a couple of miles or so..
But they do normally use local pilots to get out. 😊
@@smarti1144 For sure, this is really suspect, they say it was out of control, it is turning but then straightens just before impact...
They said it’s all Indian crew😢
A report said the Key Bridge was old and not maintained. The Key Bridge was built in 1977. The Key Bridge is not old. The George Washington Bridge was built in 1927 and Brooklyn Bridge was built in 1869. The cargo ship Dali has had trouble before in Sri Lanka.
The engines were in full reverse at the time, which is why the ship didn’t go straight through the pillars and kept on moving. It is like trying to stop a car going down a hill on ice. Also, on ships like these, when you lose power, the rudder doesn’t work anymore. The reason they were turning is because the channel is a left turn out. Which is why the rudder was pointed left to begin with. The rudder is motor powered so when they lose power they can’t change the angle of the rudder which is why they kept turning. And for everyone saying they need tugs, the ship is controlled by a pilot that boards the ship only for the trip out then he gets off again. They are the most skilled drivers of the port so the actual captain wasn’t actually piloting the ship when it crashed. It also doesn’t help that the ship was in an accident 4 years prior and sustained damages to the rudder which were never fixed. In my opinion it is the shipping company’s fault for not taking care of their ships.
very amazing explanation... thank you for that... and to your point that it should be the shipping company's responsibility, Biden just boldly proclaimed the the US govt. (US tax payers money)will foot the bill for the entire cost to rebuild...🤦♂ He loves to spend our money on things that should be someone else's responsibility...lmao... My hope is that he is implying that we will fix the bridge first then worry about holding the responsible party accountable to pay back the cost which is how it should be.
extremely well put explanation and completely agree fault lies in the shipping company for the ships failures

Guy: Invents bridges big enough for boats to pass under them
Boat: Nothing Can Stop ME. IM HIM
Within 4 minutes they limited traffic on the bridge. Hmm
How long should it take, dear armchair expert?
Have you ever seen roadworks on a long bridge? Transit cops at either end enforcing lane and speed restrictions. They get a call from dispatch telling them to stop all approaching vehicles... it's not going to take them long to do that.
Why did the ship turn at the last minute to hit the post of the bridge.. looks like the ship would have made it clear if they didn’t do that
Notice on the piling, not the one that the boat hit into as the bridge was collapsing. There was an explosion.!!!
How does cement and steel explode ???
That ship was going too fast methinks. Compared to the movements of the little trucks and cars, that ship was motoring. Power seemed to be going off and on too (on the ship), I'm hoping it was a mechanical failure - not a cavalier captain. Commiserations to the families and loved ones.
He literally told you that the video was sped up. The ship was doing about 9mph.
Was there a camera set up somewhere, where did the video come from
it's a city, there's gonna be cameras everywhere
There's nerds that enjoy watching ships coming in and out of port, so people set up webcams for the nerds to watch. It's the same with aircraft and trains.
Listen @1:00
@staarygamingvodsandvideos5084 the bridge is way out in the water, not close to a city street
@@susanmills2386 why do you think the quality is trash? cameras are able to zoom in you know
Pass a law that no ship passes a bridge with out 2 tug boats
What’s the explosion on the top on the bridge where it broke. That created a breaking point.
Definitely NOT explosives. If there were, why needing the cargo to hit the bridge? That bridge is known for having electricity inside the support beams.
New fear unlocked.
But also me: I live in the middle of the desert where there is so little water that it's illegal to plant grass..
cheese bridge , very clever engineers and builders there 😢
Notice the billow of smoke meaning full power to the engines as it gets lines up the hit the bridge…. Weird
The ship had a catastrophic power failure, which killed steering. The crew dropped the port anchor to slow the ship while power was out, then threw the engine into full reverse to slow the ship as soon as power came back on, thus the black smoke. However, full reverse screw pulls the ship to starboard, and creates zero flow over the rudder, so steering is impossible. The starboard anchor could not be dropped in this situation. The crew tried everything they could, there just wasn't enough time. There was not enough time to reboot the steering computer.
So obvious full astern
Yeah, so weird that they go full throttle to try to avoid the imminent crash.
@@antiblonda1737the question is why didn’t they do it after they recovered from the first outage. In some news they said it was current, but it’s bull. It’s just they turned right after they recovered first time, the second outage happened again and the rudder stayed in that position but there was no more the inertia from propeller pushing it forward, so it turned sharp into the bridge.
Since there were no billowing oceanic waves present in the water that night, where did the force(s) come from to knock the ship off its initial trajectory towards the open waters and redirect it towards the bridge pillar?
Would you expect 'billowing oceanic waves", in a port 150 miles from open sea? The surface of the water was calm as was the wind. Beneath the surface, the tide was going out.
@@jimbobeire Of course not. That was hyperbole on my part. My question was directed to any person having ordinary skills in the art who could inform us nin-cum-poops (sic), such as myself, as to whether or not calm and relatively shallow waters can abruptly redirect a heavy-laden ship to turn greater than 90 degrees into a bridge pylon, assuming that there was no unwieldy rudder co-activity.
@@user-ng4nn4zw6r The turn was about 12 degrees though. Didn't I discuss the perspective of this with you on another comment section?
Neither the ship nor the bridge are seen side on from that camera angle.
That camera is on the south bank way down river.
Maybe I should try make a video about the perspective, cos explaining it in words doesn't seem to work.
@@jimbobeire There is no way that was a 12 degrees turn. There is no need to discuss this matter with you any further. It is obvious that you have not watched the videos or you are being disingenuous. Goodbye!
@@jimbobeire
BitChute has a video posted that maps out the routing of the ship from an aerial perspective. I am glad that I took geometry in high school and later reinforced geometry in engineering school.
That black smoke is the Diesel engine accelerating…
Yeah it was in full reverse, it is like trying to stop a car going down a hill of ice. You can’t stop something that big but they were trying.
Thats crazy because at first everyone reported they lost all power. The storys changed 5 times already@bruh2731
@@Dotzzzdudethey did lose power, twice. Watch the video the light cut off, then turn on, then cut off
@@Dotzzzdude asking questions and thinking for yourself is good but excessive/constant conspiratorial thinking is a form of ret’rdation
@@DotzzzdudeYeah did you watch the video? They regain power right before they hit, throwing engines into reverse, causing black smoke.
Where were the tug boats ?
Think they were or the one was further back , if two couldn’t tell you on the second one, wouldn’t have mattered though current vs propulsion vs sudden loss then regain of power then loss again would have caused it to hit regardless, probably not head on but it wouldn’t have been preventable truthfully
The ship has bow thrusters so it might not have been a requirement to have tugs or it could be it was pass the point that they were needed and they left.
No tugs. The container ships I’ve seen in the Chesapeake are always under their own power. That is a personal observation and of the lower Chesapeake crazy to be fishing and see one go by
@@danielmontague6625 Tugs had just released before the incident
There was a couple other Bridges around the world that got hit something's going on
The news reported the other ones _because_ of this one. If this major incident had not happened, you wouldn't know about the other bridge incidents. The more minor incicents happen more often than you think. You just finding out about it, doesn't mean anything is going on. Go look up coast guard reports or shipping reports on how many bridge collisions there are each year, most of them are minor, thankfully, but it does happen more frequently than most people would think. Most people go about their lives with almost no idea what is involved in getting stuff from far away factories to the local store.
Why was the ship hugging the shoreline when it attempted to go under the bridge? This is not the way seasoned ship captains attempt to pass under a bridge. Why have they not discussed this aspect of the collision?
Because the ship was right on course in the middle of the channel before the ship's lights went out. It's hard to judge the angle and heading in this view, especially when the ship is just a dark silhouette.
Looks like they got to keep turning on the lights to make sure they hit the pier
You think they can't see the bridge or something? Are you a bit slow witted?
The need concrete bumpers like the sunshine skyway bridge
Yeah they turned the lights off hoping they could get away. How does it hit abridge ? Someone was drunk stoned or asleep
definitely not stoned thc doesn’t affect you in such ways you would make an error like that

Baltimore Port Expert Crew
They said the crew and captain are all Indians. fckng incompetent.. that's what happen when company cheaping out seafarers now they will pay a lot.
But is better not to built Baltimore bridge anymore cause many ship passing those area
But if you watch the video you can see the ship make a hard right turn into the bridge foundation. Why such a hard turn towards it
So, all they had to do was just let it coast without power until they cleared the bridge. Going into reverse is what caused the ship to turn into the support pier. So stupid. 🙄 The captain apparently panicked, not thinking that it's impossible to stop such a heavy ship in time, plus not realizing that reversing it will turn it the opposite way they wanted to go, hence hitting the bridge instead of going straight ahead the way they were going and clearing the bridge as planned. 🤦
The ship turning into the support pier was not planned. It was a pure accident due to mechanical failure plus human error and incompetence. The ship's pilot at the time was employed by the port to pilot the ship to sea, then hand it over to the crew, and hitch a ride back to port. It was just a moment of panic, resulting in the exact opposite result than what they wanted. Like fear causes the very thing you're afraid of, to happen anyway. They had one job. To clear the bridge. Go straight ahead. But they had to panic because they momentarily lost power. 🤦
Watching a video from a tight angle, of a ship that is basically a dark silhouette, and you think you can judge the angle? Also, that video (as the man said) was sped up. The ship was initially on the correct heading of 141, and veered off by only 12 degrees to starboard.
As it is noted when the power is told to you that it comes back on at 1:20. The shio is steered right into a DIRECT path of what it will hit/RUN INTO. This was done on purpose. Signed-Richard.

@@melvinlapp846 Thanks for the laugh. How about where I got my knowledge from and the only way a ship can trun is from someone to turn the directional controls TO that direction. I know someone who builds ships. and I have access to his knowledge/ He watched the video and said the excact same thing I did. Signed-Richard.
Does no one question the angle at which this ship is approaching the bridge and appears to deliberately steer right.. into the support???
At what angle _in your opinion_ was the ship approaching the bridge?
Are you trying to judge it from this camera angle of a dark silhouette? The ship's initial approach was right on course, heading 141 to pass under the center of the bridge. It veered of course by 12 degrees, that's only 1/30 of a circle.
That ship is moving at a different angle than you are assuming. If it was going parallel to the bridge, then you would see how long it _really_ is, and the silhouette / side profile would be almost as long as the gap between the two main pillars. Instead it looks shorter, more like a cruise ship... that's because the camera is more to the front than the side.
You're assuming it deliberately steered right. But they dropped the port (left) anchor, which seems like a desperate attempt to _stop_ the ship yawing to the right.
If the ship lost electrical power, that would affect the pumps that supply hydraulic pressure to move the rudders... the things that steer the ship. So, rather than deliberately steering right, the problem might be that they were not able to steer back to the left.
How come that camera crew is there?To be seed, the ship hit the bridge.If it was the accident they would have had to know on ahead of time to be there and don't tell me it's a surveillance camera
it's a city, there's gonna be cameras everywhere. what evidence do you have that it's a camera crew?
They explained this at 0:57
It's just a city webcam. Cities have these set up for anyone to watch.
my goodness, can you imagine the horror of those drivers in the truck and vehicle crossing the bridge , and they saw the bridge suddenly collapse like a noodle and these poor drivers just nose dive with their car, vans and trucks into the water....
The captain of the ship was a Ukrainian.
in 2016 yes. But this happened in 2024, so what's your point?
The thing is I'm wondering is that the first time that cargo ships go under the bridge. It's like a truck driver you always know how high bridge are right. So did the captain know
You do realise it is a ship with no control no power and nothing they can do to stop? Is not a drunk captain that collided is a pilot from.there in baltimore that takes the ships in and out of harbour! The real question is how well the ship was maintained and why the power cut off 2 times in few seconds?
It had nothing to do with height...the barge hit a support beam, not the underside of the bridge.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 the height has nothing to do with that , they hit a support beam
Smoke and explosion on top part of bridge before crash even happened. Something fishy.
I know this might sound dumb. I don’t have the slightest clue but it looks like they dumped the anchor which made it veer right like that.
You're right it does sound dumb. They dropped the _port_ side anchor, (the left side), not the starboard anchor (the right side). If you look at any of the images of the front of the ship after the sun came up, the chain of the _port_ anchor is in the water.
@@jimbobeire 🤣 Thanks Jimbob.
I don’t know the last about a cargo ship and I just started watching the info about this. Do you know what made it turn like that?
@@malikarao3520 I have a few idea of what _might_ have happened, but they are just educated guesses. The people running the investigation and talking to the crew and inspecting the ship will have more certainty.
The fact the lights went off for 59 seconds, and then again for about 33 seconds suggests a failure in the electrical power system.
So the rudders that steer the ship are moved by hydraulic pumps that are powered by electricity. The backup generator is supposed to come on within 45 seconds, and it only provides partial power, so the steering would be affected until full power is restored.
If that happens at sea, they won't sweat too much, but when it happens near a bridge, 45 seconds is a long time to not have proper control of steering.
@@jimbobeire Jeez. Thanks for that. That visually explains a lot. It must have been pure chaos in there. Appreciate you.
Weird. If power went it shouldn't have turned sharply directly into support column. It probably should have kept traveling in the same direction. I wonder if someone benefits from having to port closed indefinitely
You obviously don't know what happens when a cargo ship loses power. It was in mid left turn. It's a left turn out of the canal
I agree it looked weird. Why would it not be lined up between the columns from farther back. Why coming in through the bridge in the middle of a turn?
Well let’s see. Biggest port for international shipping of cars. Etc. Francis Scott Key was the author of The Star Spangled Banner,🇺🇸 something not right here. Also said captain of ship allegedly was Ukrainian.
This was nothing but an accident. Before you make silly comments, how about you what the actual experts say.
@PaperMario64 idk man what are the odds that the ship hits the only column on that side of bridge directly on the nose of the ship. It was very odd
They need to check every one of them containers. Sometimes things happen for a reason.
Open and search through all the boxes in all 4700 containers... to tell them what happened in the bridge, engine room and steering room? This is just me talking, but I'd start with asking the crew, and also checking out the electrical supply of the ship, cos y'know,,, the power going off repeatedly... that's not meant to happen.
Looks like they realized the helm was hacked.
#1 tech answer, power down, wait 10 seconds and turn it back on,
Tried it twice.
Smart man with a smart idea, you cannot convert them into lift bridges or what ever the correct name is google isn’t working 😢 lol. Point is though I kind of said the same thing as I mean honestly could have an arm at most come down once ship gets within x distance of the bridge so your not sitting there for ever 😅. Though it wouldn’t have prevented these 6 from sadly losing their lives
There were construction workers on the bridge. I heard they sent a mayday and stopped traffic.
"uuuuhhhh" 2:29
Nationwide implementation of arms to keep people off of bridges huh? That's not about safety. That's about controlling movement.
what's up with the ufo at 1:21
This was no accident. And who would use a ship that was previously in a collision? None of what I've been seeing doesn't add up and makes no sense.

So, sad. You can see those workers falling down into the sea. Where were the tug boats? Regulation sucks or the Government is so broke , they cannot afford the tug boats anymore. The private sector sucks, too. Goal is to minimize expenses, so the suckers who invest money can get more of it to pay for beaches. Sorry for the language.
That ship was turned into the bridge intentionally?
yup as you can see they literally turned to hit the bridge feet so the ship will stop for minimal impact. That's how stupid they are... Instead of dropping anchor and straight to the bay for less casualty. Incompetent captain...

Work to remove blame from the Danish shipping company that owned the ship continues! Oh! If it happened to be a Chinese woman or from a country that wasn't a NATO ally, she would have already gone bankrupt just from the news.
Maersk doesn't own the ship, they chartered it from an Indian company registered in Singapore.
Go back to 1:25:42 EDT and pay close attention to the ohl's (overhead lines). Right to left.
I see a planned event. why right when the critical moment the ship goes black then the ship starts to veer away then the power comes on then it veers back and hits the bridge in a very critical place? a very planned event.

That ship looked too big to even go under that bridge. And whos paying for this? American tax dollars?
You literally _see_ the top of the ship and the bottom of the road deck in the same shot, and the road deck is higher... that ship can easily fit under the bridge if it passes under the middle. How do you think it got _into_ the port in the first place?
Federal funds will pay for initial clearance and rebuilding, and then the insurance company can be sued for all the associated costs. The port can't just stay closed until the court case is settled, a huge number of people would lose their jobs and thousands of businesses would be affected by the lack of imports and exports.
The ship does seem to turn to hit the pier... Almost like they were trying to hit it.
agree
Kudos: This is one of the ONLY channels that didn't cut out the ship making the SHARP right TURN, under ACCELERATION (black smoke from deisel engines) STRAIGHT INTO THE PILLAR. (1:00 - 1:55)
