I couldn’t even imagine just driving along then suddenly plummeting into the water.. how horrific! I feel so bad for these people and their families! 😢
I will never feel comfortable about driving over a bridge again.
Just learned about it and thought the same thing
I know this is not the Titanic but it kind of reminds me of it instead they just hit a bridge instead of an iceberg😢
Mayday call cleared traffic cime getting on bridge on both ends... thr workers were ones dead working in bridg4
may be you should watch some of the Hollywood action movies.
Dang. That ship made the bridge look like it was made out of toothpicks.
The pistol of ship's engine is bigger than those cars mate , if u see in real life u get it
in comparison to the ship,the bridge is indeed made out of toothpicks.
..That ship had millions of pounds on it .. The bridge had no chance ..
So much weight huge boat when they loose power that close to Bridge there is no way it's stopping in time it's actually surprisingly this hasn't happened before if they put 2 tugs just to escort her out just for this reason they could have both pushed from one side to keep it away from bridge we have lots of bridges that open like a jackknife bridge or swing bridge but it wasn't height just the forward motion and you loose power the forward motion and the huge weight obviously motor major breakdown with amount of black smoke
Welcome to the banana Republic. Deregulation, pay to play. Uniparty serving globalism race to the bottom.
How chilling. "The entire key bridge is in the harbor." Unbelievable.
Not true...but a massive tragic accident none the less
@@wayneschlotfeldt1631so you was there ?
Had our Ukrainian friend loaded torpedoes for the Crimean bridge?
Then, after many vodka, our friend became brave and practiced.
Maybe it was just an “accident,” in the same way that the Ukraine war broke out “accidentally” after Joe Biden came to power with his Dems.
You do realize that trump already knew about the war brewing in Ukraine @@Polynesie410
I can't imagine the horror of the crews on that ship and the people on the bridge.
The crews looks safe but the cars on the bridge though.
@@JohnA4564mentally not okay
@@JessicaCruz-ro4ps I can say panic. The ship must be in full astern and lost rudder control before collision. The scene must like in titanic before it collided with iceberg.
@JessicaCruz-ro4ps Yes. The panic they felt when power went out and knowing they were gonna hit the bridge. The trauma they are having right now as well.
I don't know if I can handle thinking about the cost of the damages if I am the captain of that ship.
@@Andrei-ew4ctOf course that assumes this wasn’t planned
So thankful this wasn’t during the morning rush hour or there woulda been hundreds in the water. But rip to any lost and 🙏🏻 to the survivors
This. I've mentioned this a few times that the silver lining is that if this had to happen, it happened during the middle of the night rather than rush hour. Right now we are talking dozens of casualties rather than hundreds or thousands like in Tampa in the 80s.
This reminds me of the incident in Lebanon. Tragic.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
RIP to all the people that didnt make it out
Let’s make sure everyone is accounted for. The workers and those traveling in cars. Rip to those who lost their lives, so horrific. My condolences.
Accidents happen in all kinds of ways. However, in maritime law, a collision and an allision are different. When two moving vessels crash, that is a collision. But when a moving vessel crashes into a stationary object, that is an allision.
Collision.
This term refers to an accident involving two vessels. Two ships passing one another must adhere to the Rules of Navigation. They need to communicate to decide which vessel will “stand on” and which will “give way.” If the vessel that is supposed to give way does not act to avoid a collision, the other vessel must do anything possible to prevent the accident.
Allision.
This term refers to an accident between a vessel and a stationary object. A stationary object is any object that isn’t in motion, for example, a bridge, pier, dock, or bridge. Sometimes ships crash into oil platforms or drilling rigs, causing fires or disastrous oil spills.
I had no idea. Looked this up to double check and you’re right. Thx :)
One would think that someone in a major news organization would know the difference and use the correct word.😂😂😂😂
Probably would confuse people if “allision “ was in the headline …. Thanks for the info
Thank you for this-I never knew the difference. One is never too old to learn.
Соболезную родным и близким погибших. Страшное горе,держитесь!
We have a similar bridge in my state. 10 years ago due to the number and size of ships, the ports authority built concrete structures around the original bridge piles. Sand and gravel was also put around the piles to ground any ship what was going to hit the piles. This incident is the fault of the State of Maryland who was negligent.
20 people??????
It s shown about American how they can save themselves many people.
Lost propulsion? Black smoke shows max power put to the engines.Lights on board go out after impact, then come back on.Was there a harbor pilot on the ship and was he communicating or who was talking to land? A boat that size (100,000 tons) hitting a pylon at speed, will take out any bridge built today.
Investigators will have to look at ship`s telemetry data.
was the pilot's name Al K. Ida?
/s
Before collision they must have been in full astern and no rudder control.
It lost power briefly just before the strike, there is a video which shows it. The black smoke is from power returning to the engines. I believe it happened too quickly for the communication to reach anyone who could shut the bridge down, let alone evacuate it.
@@normanmaddenterrorism?
@@BlackStarSeriespeople always looking for someone to blame 😂
If you watch the video you can see the ship lost all power minutes before the collision
But they couldn't do the maintenance check before leaving the port,
They might lost rudder control, thats gotta be hydraulics issue.
Funny how News media companies are only showing when the ship hits the bridge, and not a few seconds earlier, where it shows the ship losing power and the lights go out for a few seconds.
@@josemariadsouza3990
A maintenance check should have prevented this? Exactly how do you predict catastrophic failure of a system? The ship was working just fine the first half hour of the trip.
@@JohnA4564
How do you think the hydraulic pumps run? Hint, an electric motor spins them.
The bridge had no chance. Why wasn't the bridge immediately evacuated and closed as soon as the vessel made the call reporting loss of steerage control ?
Didn’t notify till last minute
The ship notified them two minutes before it happened, there was no way they could even hope to stop that
It lost power a few minutes before it hit the bridge. Simply not enough time.
They did, but there were vehicles still on the bridge while the call was made and they had nowhere to go in time.
OMG......🙏🙏🙏 prayers
????? Really? For the families who lost loved ones you’ll pray to the “god” who sat and did nothing?
If tugs had been required under the bridge - this couldnt have happened. Without tugs being required this was a matter of time.
True fact this was an accident just waiting to happen means literally the last couple of decades have been about luck rather then safety protocols.
I'm pretty sure this accident will change quite a lot in the marine industry now and you will always have to have tugs on standby at every bridge when ships are going through. Unfortunately good often only comes from bad
Excellent point.
I am interestrd to know if a pilot from the harbor was on board and running the vessel. Normally the boats captain isn't allowed to pilot the boat into port on their own.
@@Steve-ev6vx There were 2 pilots. The vessel Dali lost power. Even dropped and dragged anchor.
The only thing I can think of is at least it wasn't Rush hour..
Statement by newscaster that these type of collisions are normal in this business ?! Really ?
It’s not uncommon, plenty of videos on RUclips. It is not common for the bridge’s to collapse afterwards.
Yes, I caught that, too.
No, it's NOT normal.
But they knew so they shouldn't have allowed people to cross the bridge
It must have been a ritual for their pagan god
So very tragic.
That split second of actual footage before cutting to pointless CGI....
what about it? please complete your sentence. im interested in your viewpoint
You saw that also? They are very clever!😂
It's UP TO 20, not "at least 20."
Right!!!! Last night it was 7. These poor people. Worst freaken fear is a bridge collapsing let alone into a water in the MIDDLE of the night. This is what nightmares are made out of.
what a nightmare pray for victims...
어쩌다..이런일이..제발 많은 피해없길...기도할게요
God bless all those affected!
If the Bridge was notified why didn’t they suspend traffic
It was literally seconds they had. There was no way they could get them off so fast
A minute or two before it hit. No time.
You can't just instantly shut down traffic
the police cars knew it was going to hit and stayed on the bridge ( utter fools )
They did stop the traffic. Thats why you see some cars stopped on the right. There were also workers there working on the bridge
While the terms collision and allision are sometimes used interchangeably, they're not the same. In a collision, one vessel strikes another ship, while an allision occurs when a vessel hits a stationary object, such as a dock, bridge, oil platform, or drilling rig.
Yea, but you have to remember, the average American can't read above a 6th grade level, so they use words people can understand.
Who cares who’s stuck backed up in their shops, at least they’re alive and not in the cold water !
Prayers to everyone that was involved. How absolutely devastating. Sending them love and light.
The irony that you would pray to such a do-nothing god.
The durability of this bridge is very much in question!
Not really, we are talking about a old bridge not designed to be protected against these ships, the ship alone weighes some 150,000 tons
I mean it got hit by what looks to be a full cargo ship….
It seems like it was doing just fine until it got hit by an enormous ship...
It was up to code
Um it got obliterated by a fully loaded cargo ship with over a thousand containers wym ?
Brings back the horrors of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa, 40 years ago.prayers to all affected.😢😢😢😮
This one time happened in Australia 1970s. A freighter crashed into a bridge and the boat sank
Tasman bridge in Hobart, Tasmania. January 1975.
What the bell is briefing the President gonna do? I wish they would stop even saying this. It means nothing.
Especially THAT President. lol
It was part of the interstate network, so the money to rebuild it will most likely come from the federal government. The president may also create a task force to study similar bridges and look at the feasibility of adding barriers to the piers of other bridges to prevent this from happening in the future.
@@heatherstewart9300 You mean OUR President
I'm very sure there are CCTVs on both ends of the bridge. Therefore, they should have identified the any vehicle which did not exit the bridge.
Chilling. I was on the Francis Scott Key bridge yesterday
''collisions are normal in the shipping industry '' yeah right .SMH
It's a very old bridge. Very rickety.
Where were the tugs, to keep it in the channel while in the harbor....no tugs....that's b.s.
Tugs manoeuvre a ship in and out of the dock, a US Harbour Pilot is on board to direct the ship's captain out of the harbour. This is not a tugboat scenario.
@@SwampCityRadio1974Yeah, Its usually just run by a Harbor Pilot, dropped off by the pilot boat before the ship enters the harbor. I am waiting to hear if he/she was on board and doing their job.
Edit- Another poster is saying there were two Harbor Pilots on board and at helm.
They might already left the ship.
But I don't understand is how come he thought he could go under this little Bridge with that huge cargo I hope they find the people that are in the water my heart goes out to you I'm sending my love and compassion to your family sorry for your loss😢😢
For the fact that you emphasize that there is no indication that it was terror related, makes me think the opposite.
I really hope you are joking.
@@lookingbehind6335 Without knowing any of the details about the events leading up to the collision, it is too early to determine whether or not this was terror related. For instance, the ship was said to have lost main power but in order to drift into the bridge pillar, the bow and stern thrusters would have had to have failed at the exact same time since they could have been employed to move the drifting ship sideways and out of the path of the pillar. To imply that this event is not terror related without the knowledge necessary to make a reasonable assessment, is irresponsible reporting, in my opinion.
No, it doesn't. You're doing that of your own volition.
So is it 6 people missing or 20???
Appears to be 20😢
Yes....
up to 20. number isn't known yet. news at it again with their embellishment.
It's unknown. They're calculating how many cars are known to have gone down and how many people could of been in those cars.
They don't specifically know how many people were in each car.
You got construction working crew and people in their vehicles.
RIP to all the victims....what a horrible way to die. I hate going across big bridges, whether it is human incompetence or bridge failure you never know when it's going to happen and it is truly terrifying.
Will create supply chain issues..
Only for east coast
why do you have 3 on scene reporters saying the same thing, each twice....this was 2 min of info bloated to 7:21...respect my time please.
Hello Mr. George? How much you pay the new guy? $20? Too much money. Very bad operator. Bad for the company.
Condolences to the family of victims... nothing prepares you for this kind of thing 😢😢😢
The underwriters’ responsible for insuring this vessel, unless the ship was self insured, will be enormous. Multi billion, trillion $$: liability for deaths, injuries, loss of the bridge, cargo, ship.
Maritime Law limits damages. The taxpayers will foot 99.9% of the bill.
@@lookingbehind6335Biden even said "federal government" should pay for this. Which, as we all know, means us.
What a negligent and deadly error, this is so frustrating
there’s more than 6 people missing, there were cars up there
It briefly lost power just before striking the bridge, there's a video of it. Bridge workers and drivers went into the river. Terrible terrible tragedy.
First on location reporter says ship lost propulsion @ 2:33.
Anchor asks second reporter question first reporter answered @ 3:23
Yep, that's a in studio talking head for you.
How tragic! 🙏
I didn't see any active searching?
Probably they would be looking for bodies at this point. The search area will most likely be underwater next with divers looking for bodies. That water is too cold for anyone to survive more than an hour at max.
@@TemplesOfOurGodsNot to mention the absolute carnage of concrete and steel under the water. That bridge was massive.
Title says 6 people, reporter says "up to 20", anchor says "at least 20"
Get it together RUclips. One minute we are talking about a bridge falling now our comments are under another RUclipsrs videos.
Incompetence. This country is hiring more people like that every day. Hope nobody got hurt.
You should go over the rusted Cairo bridge, I’am waiting disaster, big trucks, with cars across the long bridge. You have to cross it to other side.
In Cairo Illinois?
So where was the night time footage taken from
This is so scary
So sad ❤
Is it a drawbridge? (Not one report I’ve seen address it)
The key bridge is not a drawbridge..
No, no moving sections on this bridge.
Not draw but It's very steep
No. Not draw bridge.
No It was a high standing bridge a draw bridge would have had two pilot houses on one section at either end and huge mechanisms to raise that section of the bridge. This bridge didn't have anything like that.
there is a video showing the whole thing happening....when I saw I it I was saying to myself why is that boat heading straight for the bridges pillar support.
🙏🏾🙏🏾soo incredibly scary I hate to see this happening, hope everyone’s heals from this tragedy 🫶🏾
Those people that passed on the bridge just a few seconds prior to collapse were touched by Angels and a Miracle😮😮😮😮😅😅
Wow😮
How far is the detour?
I'm not an engineer or anything but if I built a bridge I'd put "Will not collapse if hit by boat" probably pretty close to the top of my design priorities.
How the heck did that happen?!
So sad.
Still struggling to understand how a vessel that probably has a big engine or dual engine, "lost power" after the engines were started and was being piloted off the Port. Does it mean the Engine Room Checklist isn't checked and followed through for maintenance etc?
How do they make models of these bridges so fast for these news segments
Please tell me they will be opening the containers soon to make sure trafficked people aren’t stuck in there suffering.
So sad 😭😭
"Seek the Lord while he may be
found;
call upon him while he is near 🙏
Where was he when it happened?
What about people that were in cars? Do we know how many cars went into the water?
dude i feel bad for my grandpa and the people some of his friends who where working on that bridge at that time are some of the missing people im so lucky he didnt cross that bridge at the time he was called to do something before crossing the bridge so he took another way from the rode right before it ended up crashing
Oh my goodness I cross that bridge oh my God God bless those people
Accident waiting to happen. You're relying on a human not to screw up in clear or bad weather. This bridge had zero protection around it. When they built the new skyway in St Pete they built huge bumpers around it.
A bridge fell on the boat and the boat still didn't sink... WOW
They should at least keep one lane open to ease traffic going through.
How?
Fascinating timing!!
I have a feeling this could have happened anytime and you would have the same comment.
Look at the fucking greed on that cargo ship
U.S. critical infrastructure needs to become more resilient to these types of threats to economic security!
Not in this instance. it needed Tug boats to escort it. I do not know of a bridge that could survive a direct hit by a 150,000 ton cargo ship.
I believe the objective is to get rid of critical infrastructure, and this bridge will never be rebuilt.
Multimodal transportation is vital to U.S. economic security and adds redundancy to critical infrastructure. Another bridge will replace it.@@gingermaynor495
The missing men in the #KeyBridgeCollapse are from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras & Mexico, and live in Dundalk & Highlandtown. The men are in their 30s and 40s w/spouses & children. They were fixing potholes. All of them came to the city for a better life. A million cars a month used it.
How often does a ship like this go under this bridge, for this to happen?🤨
Was it a Chinese ship? Is this a terrorist act?
No. It was an entirely USA caused incident.
🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
No, it is an entirely USA made incident.
@@jimmyjohnstone5878Think again. Go check where the ship sailed from and who the owner is.
OMG 😱 The bridge is collapse and it is extremely
How many crew members were there??
With two harbor pilots on board the liability is likely on the Baltimore Harbor Authority whose head is a former DEI consultant with no maritime experience. This begs the question... what hiring practices did Karenthia A Barber use and who did she hire.
Looking at how easily that bridge buckled is alarming. No contingenices for a shop loosing propulsion? No contingencies for a bridge that carries tens of thousands a day and upteen million a year? One support beam? The buckling of that bridge alone is sad, seems needing updated years ago.
Talk about the wrong place at the wrong time!!! 😢😢unfathomable calamity
Why didnt they ( ships boatswain's) drop the anchor if they knew they lost propulsion..??? Singapores finest, Sailors....20 people r.i.p. 😢
@4:06 loss of propulsion by the Cargo ship..they must have had leeway in moving around a Motor Tanker/Motor Vessel to avoid this mishap...sad; prayers to those families involved🥀
Other than the Bridge collapse, your reporting should be focused on the people that were on that bridge, and are unaccounted for, and what is being done to find them.
HI there this Saadakh Ali
I'm very sorry about what happened to the bridge in Baltimore and I am going to fix the problem
I don't think very many people "will" believe this was unintentional.
There’s a lot of crazies so you are probably right.
Hmmm MAGAs won't of course.
@@yvonneplant9434
Biden supporters believe he has no mental issues. They are in super crazy status.
People given to rational thought aren't going to go there without supporting evidence, but it's true that some people aren't satisfied with facts. They seem to thrive on fantastic claims of conspiracy, and are easily led about by the nose.
Thank goodness it was 1 am and not 1pm.
Do ships just losing power like that? Giant internal combustion engine running giant generators, I'm sure there are backup batteries or backup generators. Seems made up but we'll see.
Sounds like the person steering and or the captain of the ship was intoxicated. You don't just slam into a giant bridge if you are even remotely paying attention. This will be a monster lawsuit and possibly people going to jail too.
I cud be wrong but Something is telling me this was a terrorist attack.
Your right, they don't want you to know. Hidden agendas
100% deliberate
I'm sure it's more than 6
