What blows me away is the "theorists" saying it was a controlled demo because they saw sparking when the bridges electrical cables were severed and shorted out. LIKE WUT?
Lol
They also must not realize that steel scraping against steel and concrete also creates sparks.
Did they miss the part where a massive containership destroyed the support columns?
I’m sure it’s a lot of force to shear a rivet also.
I also saw one post in particular that tried to push the view of dynamite being used at specific points on the bridge. I don’t even bother anymore trying to point out the error of their ways.
I had a displeasure of being recommended a Tim Pool video on this... And let me tell you, the controlled demo bros seem so sane in comparison 😆 Skipped through it at 2x speed out of morbid curiosity - "it was a cyber attack!" / "it was a DEI-hire pilot's fault!" / "it's the beginning of a Black Swan event!" / "Chinese hackers are only getting started, get your bug-out-bags and your batteries ready!" / "head for the shelters!" 😱😱😱 Seriously, dude must have a tin-pot hat, not a tin-foil one, he's that paranoid.
Basically gathered all the wildest conspiracy theories (I don't like this term, but in this instance it is what it is) on Twitter and started running his mouth "hurr... durr... maybe it's not but maybe it is 🤔 (wink wink, nudge nudge)". I think I've never cringed so hard 😫
And some of the comments there - oh boy... Let's just say that the community reflects the creator...
Anyway, waiting for some statements from the NTSB now.
Would say the blessing in disguise is that this didn't happen during peak traffic time or a hazmat tanker truck wasn't involved.
I heard that the ship called out “Mayday ,Mayday!” and as soon as it was received ,the police block the road on each side of the bridge.
Even so, there are some cars sank in to the water.
Bridge was built in the 1970's when ships were 1/10th the size they are today.
Why in the world weren't COLLISION FENDERS built to protect the bridge? Especially in a high traffic shipping lane.
Money and politics.
There is never any money unless it becomes politically expediant.
Those collision fenders better be massive. I‘m a pilot and don’t know too much about maritime stuff. Still it seems to me that in European harbors ships like that are always accompanied by extremely high powered tug boats. From my knowledge container ships have only one engine. If it fails the entire crew become nothing but passengers.
It was TOO EXPENSIVE, they said. Whatever will happen now will be a multitude that some massive deflectors had cost
Money, money money...
HUGE buffers around the power poles, zero buffers around the bridge base !!! And the third largest port on earth, or something.. I find that odd.
Odd no NEGLIGENT, if it wasn't this ship it would be another
@@Woffy. True, like it is certainly not unheard of that ships get out of control and crash into things, you design things so if something goes wrong (and it will always go wrong, sooner or later), if something fails, the overall system (in this case a bridge) does not fail.
It is a 'fail safe' mindset. That first scene of this video with the huge buggers around a freaking power pole and none around the bridge, makes me annoyed. There should be lawsuits from that, it is negligent as you said.
Correct, gross negligence they should have done a disaster risk assessment on that bridge and Port infrastructure. So far I have not found any such report. This is not the first bridge to be hit, if I recall a barge hit one recently and another in the 80's.
As for the ship it had a perfect departure and track until it went 'Black', unfortunately Marin engines are computer controlled and it looks like the lost the engine and with the rudder countering the thrust sent the ship off track. The Cpt wasted no time getting ship reports and dropped the anchor to try and swing the bow and called Mayday knowing he was stuffed. I hope the Anchor watch cleared the bow before the collision.
As for the stupid comments on explosive demolition well that bridge dropped exactly as gravity intended it to do. In my opinion the Port Authority fell short on their responsibilities and the cost will be in the tens of billions. Unfortunately many Lawyers will become rich and that sickens me even more. @@Darryl_Frost
The power poles are owned by the power company who knows the importance of protecting infrastructure.
The bridge was constructed by the government who couldn't care less.
It is worldwide standard to protect bridges with super massive structures. It was consudered to be TOO EXPENSIVE for that bridge, but Management cashed millions.
There is eniugh money for the infrastructure, it just ends in the wrong pockets
It is interesting to note that the power transmission line poles have better protection than the bridge pylons appear to have. And when you add the fort in the middle of the channel on the other outbound side of the bridge, it all seems like a disaster waiting to happen.
I feel for the victims and their family's.
unbelievable how such a large structure can be a pile of scrap in seconds.
I thought a ship that size would be piloted by tugboats until it passed the headland.
I remember the Sunshine Skyway collapse in 1980!! What a shame!!!
You know, I think the four 'dolphins' that you can see were probably put there after the Sunshine Skyway collapse, But A: they are somewhat far away from the foundations they are meant to protect and B: ONLY 4 OF THEM?!?! They needed to be much closer and for there to be clusters of them forming a obstacle barrier, or if they needed to be that far they needed a lot more of them.
Edit: Honestly that bridge needed a robust series of piles around the vulnerable foundations and more dolphins to make a multi layered defense given the amount of traffic the port sees.
@@MrPatrick2160But that would have cost a little more money. Now they need to replace an entire bridge instead.Government at it's finest.
@@slartybarfastb3648 along with kickbacks for politicians and their cronies.
@@MrPatrick2160
Are you a civil engineer? When did you get your PE license? You actually want the dolphins spaced *away* from the structure they are trying to protect. The purpose is to restrict a ship’s involvement in the bridge away from the bridge.
Oops! 'Design is thinking made visible.' What were the engineers thinking? Fling a long bridge over a shipping lane for big ships, and make the whole length vulnerable to losing one support to a wayward ship. Murphy's Law will always strike, sooner or later.
The bridge design was not at fault it is the civil works that are absent in the channel. Theres not a bridge on Earth that wold stop that ship.
It was built in the 70's, so the question would be "Why haven't they updated it with bumpers to prevent this?"
It's a old truss bridge it's designed to support its self. All truss bridges fail like this. It's WHy the us isn't building them anymore😊
Old design, ships were smaller then, also hard for me to imagine safety features against a 117 000 tons 300m ship going at 8 knots. The amount of energy to dissipate would be mind boggling... Is it possible? If so, I would love to hear how it's done with modern designs 👍
That's the shared NTSB drone footage, yes? It is of interest to us all, and thank you for keeping us engaged in monitoring our Nation's transportation infrastructure.
What surprises me is the lack of maintenance in all your infrastructure projects. It almost looks like 'if isn't broken everything is ok', that is NOT the way infrastructure works, maintenance is the backbone of every structure. The amount of dams and bridges that are in disrepair is staggering. Railroad bridges that can only be crossed at a snail's pace.
My condolences to the families and friends of those who were lost.
When I saw the image of the bridge on a Maximus video, I thought, "This was Boeing's fault?! I KNEW IT!!"
Definitely Boeing's fault!
00:42 that electric wire pole has more protection around its base than the bridge stanchions
This is a national disgrace in addition to being a 100% preventable tragedy. For less than 1% the cost of replacing the bridge, adequate protection for the bridge pirrs could have been built instead. Now the Port of Baltimore is closed for many months, the Eastern beltway around Baltimore is non-existent for several years and 6-? People are dead. All to save a little tax money which was certainly squandered elsewhere.
The government is wholly responsible for this.
I’m glad you see that… how bang on of the US extreme capitalism to have the wealthiest nation in human history and near zero protection of such a weak bridge design in a busy waterway.., could’ve been a tunnel… nope…
I understand that there’s something like 7000 major bridges in US requiring urgent upgrades…
Wealthiest nation…
@@tigertiger1699 It has nothing to do with caputalism. Everything to do with government incompetence and corruption.
There is eniugh miney, it just ends in Management pockets, not in concrete
@@slartybarfastb3648
You’ll find bridges everywhere in the U.S. with same circumstances. Which ones do we fix first. Everyone seems to have post-nut clarity but I must have missed your advocacy before the accident. We have all kinds of accidents waiting to happen with our national infrastructure but missed your advocacy efforts *beforehand* to fix them.
@@matthewgaines10 I'm not a sailor. It's not my job to inspect bridges or port infrastructure. There are well-paid people who's job that is. There are bureacrats who's job it is to ensure construction of the infrastructure is adequate and protected.
Now, instead of using the $2Billion needed to replace an old bridge, it will instead be needed to replace this newer bridge which could have been properly protected for $2Million.
It’s interesting that the power cables seem to have dolphins or islands constructed around them to give some protection but the bridge didn’t . Surprised you haven’t commented on CEO of Boing leaving . Been waiting for the low down from Maximus
Sending our thoughts, prayers, and condolences, for those who lost loved ones and friends in this horrible accident.
The ship looks nearly undamaged. From what material was the bridge made of? Plywood?
With some basic understanding of structural engineering and physics, the damage is exactly what one would expect.
The cost of a large container vessel resistant bridge is astronomical compared to simple defensive measures to avoid these accidents.
It's interesting how much worse this bridge performed than the Sunshine Skyway did in 1980. Only half of the superstructure on the Skyway span went down, which left us with the famous car-hanging-on-the-edge picture on the remaining parts. The Skyway bridge was first built in 1955, with the second span opening in 1971. The '71 span was identical to the 1955 span in design from what I can find. It was the 1971 span which got hit by the ship.
Maybe tug escorts past the bridge signed Captain Hazelwood hic
Using powerful tugs and maneuvering only during daylight with more personnel would be too costly. It would hurt profitability and not make stockholders as happy. Probably same stockholders whom own stock in Boeing. Must keep them happy! 😂
looks like the shareholders just sold their stock, will be years for the stock to rebound, lol
I looked at it On my way to work this morning. Ive been on this bridge a million times..:
Somebody's insurance premium has just gone up.
Never realized just how many containers a ship like this can transport. Holy cow have they gotten larger in size over the years or what?
Yes, ships have gotten larger and they carry more frieght too
It is a worldwide standard to protect bridgeswith massive structures, able to redirect and stop any ship. After the sunshine highway incident 1980 it was discussed to protect bridges, but it was TOO EXPENSIVE, and now we pay a multitude. But so what, the Management got millions, all is fine
They will have to cut apart all that steel into crane sized pieces, top down using torches and/or demolition/thermite charges. That is very dangerous, highly skilled and VERY expensive work, and there is not a very large workforce with those skills. I would guess that it will take at least one year to fully clear the debris and begin reconstruction, maybe six months to clear the channel for shipping. It's like playing Death Jenga in the dark, underwater, with giant barbed wire and fishhooks. Not your average desk jockey job.
I'll bet Swiss Re and Lloyds accountants are crunching numbers in a big way right now. The claims will go way beyond cleanup and replacement. There will be massive loss of income and probably several loss of life actions. Those will still be in the courts when the new one is opened in maybe four years, at best. What caused that power outage and who was supposed to prevent it will become major issues in the courts. Liability and class action lawyers are already circling overhead, no doubt, and the operators are questioning their life decisions.
On wonders if that ship was ever going to fit under that bridge, at that state of the tide at the time of the collision.
"Oh, say can you see, there's a bridge ahead of me
And I can not stop, so I'll just have to crash in."

Maximus, I heard they dropped anchor. Who would have been at the controls, a pilot? I don’t know much about ships, but how long does it take to kill the engines and to stop?
The anchor could been dragging....They had lost power(so no rudder), but one has to also take into account the Inertia of such a large mass , and the tide/currents at the time.
@@BlackKnight344 Thank you
Over a mile to stop such a ship. And without power you are just a passenger with tides, winds, currents and dynamics from the different depths of the shipping lanes steering the ship any which way.
Do we know if it was just materials that were damaged? Or were there worse outcomes?
At least 6 workers on the bridge were killed and potentially several vehicle occupants.
@@slartybarfastb3648 Thank you for the info. Not good news.
one job get it between the piers!! Doesn't look like they dropped and chain? any ideas, engine fail, low visibility or instrument drop out?
Ship was completely off course and travelling far too fast. Bridge columns had zero protection from large vessel impacts. I’m sorry for the lives lost. If the bridge had had a military function, multi million dollars would have been invested to protect it. Why is civil infrastructure left to be ruined?
Speaks volumes to the condition of foreign flag ships operating in our waters and ports. Jones Act has hobbled our shipping but any manner can free flow through our ports.
isn't it the local harbor masters job to guide boats through these kind of waters?
How has Jones Act hobbled our shipping?
How?
Seems like a bit of an overreaction by the bridge, holy cow that escalated FAR.
The ship should have never set sail until the problem was short out properly and tested close to shore
I wish there was some sound or basic narration.
its a Maximus breaking news there will be a follow up when more is known.
It must have been the MCAS (Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation for Ships) that was the cause of the bridge collision. It wasn't spelled out in the Dalli's operating handbook. That was to save the expense of training the captain and his mates on how it works and what to do when the ship goes where it wants to go and not where the pilot wants it to go..
Where’s the Transportation Secretary? Just saying!
There is nothing “historic” about that bridge. It was barely 50 years old. Word usage matters. So does avoiding hyperbole. 😢
Named after the man who wrote the National Anthem, so yes, actually to most Americans it IS a historic bridge that we care about.
and its updated! I agree its historic because of the name so this title makes more sense
@@TheTransporter007his words were mated to a British drinking song, how ironic
@@BB-xx3dv I think that was The Battle Hymn of the Republic, which was built upon a song called John Brown’s Body, which was based on a British drinking song.
@@TheTransporter007 Actually there is also a FSK Bridge in Washington, DC, only a few miles away, so it was already confusing. Neither bridge was built in Key’s lifetime or of interest to history in relation to him. They are just memorial bridges. That doesn’t make them historic (of a certain age or of significant relation to an historical event). I will however grant that the FSK Bridge in Baltimore is of more interest to history this week than last.
Terrible loss of life. Bad for commuters and stranded ships by the blocked ship-way . Pros - The port authority responded quickly after ships mayday call and traffic was stopped. Mistakes - Unfortunately the construction crew was not evacuated. Also the lack of foresight of this happening and creating engineering solutions. Remember, the majority of people have a mental framework for problem solving as a lawyer instead of a scientist.
What in gods name does this have to do with aviation? Clicks anyone?
Who put that bridge there? Get it off my boat!
[insert angry political right-wing republican conservative rant about DEI with absolutely no evidence to support the assertion, because no evidence exists to support the assertion]
I and 2 of my friends on Facebook crossed the Silver Bridge the week before it fell in the Ohio river in 1967. The last I worked at the highway department was quality control on bridge construction. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Bridge
