- Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed early Tuesday after a large cargo ship struck one of its support columns. Authorities were searching for six people who had been working on the bridge, but it's now a recovery mission. Norah O'Donnell, "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor, and Kris Van Cleave, senior transportation correspondent, report.

RIP to those hard working men, who were probably just providing for their families.
Yea usually that's y people work
@@tylerl3510you would think 💀
Now they will be providing for the fish.
@@mikehawk4714 ruthless my man
Worried that their families might not receive any compensation for their death.
Poor construction workers :(
Biden is going to raise their family taxes to pay for new bridge
Poor cargo ship captain
The construction looks poor
What were the construction workers working on exactly?

Thank God it was in the middle of the night. If it had happened at rush hour there could have been a huge loss of life. I am so sorry for the families of the victims.
3 days ago I had a premonition dream of cars going off of something. 😢😭
I agree with you sherry. I shudder to think how much worse this could've been still sad that six are dead.
Go away@@Parker_World_Tv
1 death is too many and could this have been prevented?
@@Shadow_Lurker968 Yep. I saw cars going off of a cliff but things in dreams doesn't mean that things will happen exactly in the same place. In other words, even though I saw the cars going off of a cliff didn't mean that in reality that it would happen in the same place as I dreamed. This all started in 2020 I had dreamt of my uncle that was alive but in my dream I saw him in a casket. I was really confused because I knew that he was alive and but very ill. 3 days later he passed away. 😢 I've been having these types of dreams ever since.
RIP to the 6 construction workers who lost their lives. Thoughts and prayers going out to the families. 🙏 💕
I pray may they soul rest in perfect peace ❤❤😢😢 hope you are doing great @Ash.par1391
This is absolutely out of no where and I apologize for this.
But gah, You're gorgeous, Ashley.
Thanks hope you are enjoying your day with chocolate 🍫🍫🍫Happy new month 💞💞💞
I’m from Baltimore and travel the bridge on a regular basis. SHA just redid all the roads leading up to the bridge and removed all the old toll boothes. It’s been a few years now, but like new. The bridge itself seemed like it was in decent shape, showing its age a little, but I was never afraid to drive across it. I’m also a boater and have passed underneath the bridge many times. You can tell that it was always being maintained etc. To me, having a 100,000 ton (or whatever weight) container ship with all that cargo collide with the support, would make any bridge crumble. Tragic event, my heart goes out to all personally impacted this and have lost a loved one.
I live in Baltimore county, I just went over the bridge last week, this is a sad day for our entire state, condolences to the families
@@rodmills737I don't understand why a ship that size would be sooo close to the shallow banks?
I live in Dundalk, and just drove over the Key Bridge on Friday. I used that bridge to commute to work for many years in the past. I even drove over debris from an accident that happened back about 10 years ago and got a flat tire on that bridge in my Cobalt SS late one night. I feel like a part of me was just torn away in an instance. My wife got all teary eyed after watching what happened and hearing about all the missing workers being from Dundalk. She traveled over that bridge for 15 years straight to work. I am in Myrtle Beach right now, and will be back home Saturday night. It will be surreal seeing no bridge there in person :(
I would raise questions as to local authorities risk evaluation of the bridge in this shipping channel. The port is 300 years old and increased size over the the years. In the early seventies when the bridge construction started, cargo ships were 45ft less tall and carried 7,000 containers less than today's ships.
I believe a simple mandatory process would be have been for tug boats to escort these ships past the bridge.
It is mandatory in ALL shipping ports that local 'pilots' are placed onto ship arrivals and departures which in this case did happen but to a ship with no power to manoeuvre....
@@madmaximilian5783 It wasnt close, but since the ship lost power, it wasnt able to stay away from the bridge support pillars

The size of that ship doesnt do just how big that bridge was justice. It's incredible anyone was able to survive a fall that high up.
Whenever you go by Marine Terminal on Broening Highway, the size and scale of those ships are unfathomable.

edit your post so we can make sense of it
I've been across that bridge so many times I can't count. I couldn't imagine if this had happened during the day at rush hour
@user-hy1dy2tp8z I don't understand your comment. I'm sure they've searched the water for survivors. I believe as of this morning there was 6 found dead so far.
Bridge collapses
Witness - It sounded like rolling thunder
Reporter - What was the rolling thunder?
Me - Smartest reporter
Absolutely no way they are going to find the bridge construction or maintenance at fault. No bridge, no matter how well constructed, is able to withstand being hit by a 100 thousand ton of metal.
They could have built protection around the pillars, something that has been part of new bridges for 40 years since a similar accident at that time. This is incompetence on the part of state and federal government. All the trillions spent on "infrastructure" and none on this. Plus the billions to fund foreign wars.
I think they were referring to the ship's maintenance... not the bridge.
Though it wouldn't surprise me if that was also in disrepair, like most infrastructure in the US... but no bridge can survive an impact of this magnitude, so that would be moot...
@@SeedlingNL "However, engineers noted that its piers, which are essential to the structure’s integrity, did not appear to have protective barriers, such as fenders, to block, deflect or withstand the collision."
@@SeedlingNL
No, they are now trying to say this bridge was having issues. There should be no blame on the bridge all blame is on that ship
When bridges are built on major freight waterways like this they are supposed to be tested to withstand some of this incase a storm pushes it into the bridge. Likely the boat was going to fast and too heavy for what it was rated to withstand.

god should have prevented this
Such a tragic event. Heart goes out to all the victims and the families. This is eerily similar to my home city Hobart where a cargo ship struck the bridge, sunk and vehicles drove off the severed section into the river. This was back in 1975, and it took 2.5 years to recover the bridge damages. As a result, the government mandated that traffic is halted each time a ship crosses beneath as a safety precaution. My prayers to Baltimore.
This should be a standard procedure going forward. No workers or anyone should be on a bridge if/when a cargo ship is porting. I can't imagine the pain that these families are feeling right now. This is so heartbreaking. 😢
Condolences to the Family from Fiji 🇫🇯

So so sad. My prayers and condolences go out to all family’s who have lost their loved one due to this situation.❤❤❤

I hope the authorities could find the reason for the disaster soon to prevent this from happening ever again.
God be with the families 😢
As a former architect student I remember the lesson about bridges so well.... Pure nightmare. So many calculations, and the professor always insisted that we have to use the max amount of weight that gives flexibility and duration to vibration etc. But when I see this metal/tell brigsed fell down while those 2000+ years bricks bridges still standing I wonder if we are learning things wrong.
Great video for this tragic event.
So there were no cars on the bridge only the construction workers? May their souls rest in peace.
the ship put out a call 2 minutes before impact, traffic was stopped on the bridge, but the workers were already there and didn't know
You can see semi truck travels on the bridge just 10 seconds before impact 😮
@@allegiant2710 and you don't see any vehicles after that
The workers' vehicles were on the bridge; no drivers.
@@TheAechBomb Large bridges could have automatic collision course detectors, which shut down the traffic before the crash. They could also warn any workers on the bridge. At the very least it should be possible to detect collisions after the fact in order to automatically close the traffic in case no mayday calls are received.
Very sad
Why does the Port Authority of Baltimore allow a container vessel 300 meters long, almost 50 meters wide and loaded with 10,000 containers to sail along the port's exit channel without being supported by at least 2 or 3 tugboats until open sea to avoid emergency situations, and even more so with the obstacle of a bridge built in the 70s designed for navigation at that time when there were no ships with the large dimensions that exist today?
You could have had a dozen tugs shadowing the vessel. You aint arresting the forward momentum of a 100,000 vessel in thirty seconds. Just not happening.
@@deaddropholiday You don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Like usual, it's about the $$$. When the bridge is rebuilt, that's what they will do.
Money
@@whiskeykilmer1866 And if a ship suffers catastrophic power failure less than half a mile away from the bridge exactly the same thing will happen. They might reduce the speed limit. Might.
Sorry for workers RIP
this ship previously hit the quay wall in Antwerp, Belgium in 2016 and was chained.
Condolences to the families from japan 🙏 🇯🇵
Did he say rebuild the port?🤦🏾♂️ smh. Feel so bad for those families. That's why I get nervous crossing big bridges at night like that
I can take the fall it’s getting back to solid ground… what an unexpected challenge. I’ve been teaching water safety since I was 15 years old. Id still be scared as hell especially at night
Dude they say there are still people missing and how tragic it is like ten times. At some point they have to move on and report other relevant news about the crash that's their job. Do you expect the news to just host a memorial service and immediatetly switch off everytime a tragedy happens?
I live in Chicago, I am not fond of brigdes.
I think the blessing is that this happened at night, and not during rush hour.
How did they have time to stop cars on time but they couldn't tell the workers to get out
How would they do that in under a minute?
Cars can go faster then a human speed and also the reaction time and also no one even thinks about that
Also no one ever thinks about a bridge collapse
You can see the cars 7:40 can you imagine just minutes!
they literally had iirc 2 minutes to do so
I pray for the families that are broken by this event.
So sad and heartbreaking.
Rip that homeless man walking on the bridge at that moment 😢🕊️
Damn💔💙🙏🏿
Thats so sad to watch
I grew up maybe 6 mins away from the bridge, MAYBE 6 mins, and ive lived in Virginia for a couple years and its devastating all the way down here. My entire small rural community is thinking of everyone nearby when the bridge went down. I went to work and everyone asked me what was wrong, i looked withdrawn apparently, im just without words and in shock.
Ok we get it 6min.... what's that gotta do with the bridge
🤭🤭🤭🤭
Condolences to all of the families😢
So tragic.
I’m rubbish at physics and have no clue about engineering but I’m shocked that a bridge can collapse so quickly from one crash. I guess I always assumed there was some built in resilience. Lesson learned.
Bear in mind I’m speaking from the UK where we just don’t have the giant rivers and bridges you have in the US. But we do have the bridge to Skye for instance…..
Grateful that it didn’t happen when loads of cars were on the bridge and thoughts with the families of the missing workers.
Thank goodness the crew managed to get out the mayday so that cars weren’t on the bridge at the time. That that system worked saved a lot of lives. I’m sure everyone involved is traumatised but I hope some comfort can be taken in the lives they saved.
May those who lost their lives in this tragedy rest in peace.
Wow! The ship couldn't have hit a worse spot! Either side of that pillar and it (might) have been less damaging ?
@@Doofenshmirtz009 nothing you can do, the enormous weight and distance needed to stop especially in the ocean is no easy task especially for a tanker of this size.
@@Doofenshmirtz009 I think you're right. If the ship had only damaged the pylon instead of demolishing it, maybe there would have been enough strength to keep the bridge up with lower load from the light traffic at that time.
I am not so sure, but the total collapse may be because the bridge was a continuous truss frame system instead of a multi-span one. once a single member collapses, it will followed by an entire member. cmiiw.
The length of one side without the support fully in place is equivalent to weight on that side, so it’s like the bridge just got dropped into the port with only one support essentially.
i saw this 😭 rip from (now) a hour away of baltimore
Wow. Condolences for all the families
1:44 Not a cargo ship expert, but the plums of smoke was probably an emergency diesel generator that had started to restore power. Which is why power was probably restored.
Nope.. emergency generator exhaust pipes doesn't go up till the funnel top. This dark smoke was due to restart of the main generators
This could happen when the vessel tried to use emergency astern manoeuvre.
. More like engine's full speed ahead. . This was deliberate...
@@blackielawless9180 its a container vessel , dead slow is about 8-9 knots. Not full speed.
Is the bridge under construction or under repair?
RIP to the 6 souls condolences to their families.
👍🇺🇸
Jeez, Norah really did her job today. Thank you for mentioning all the behind the scenes details that weren't asked. She really cares about this story and for these people. What a hard day it had to have been. I can't believe the bridge is gone. Thank you for effectively communicating the emotion some of us feel about this collapse, to people who might not understand. It really is shocking. Like a modern day 9/11 without the terrorism, but somehow still has emotional weight? It's weird...
Whose watch was this when it happened? I watched the video. It seems to have attempted to reverse, and then it lost all control and started heading across the channel towards the bridge. Could they have had a modicum of control if they had just used the rudder and kept going ahead, as suggested by a shipping expert.
They probably panicked.
your talking about a ship weighing 1000s of tons that is floating in water.
If the propeller stops, the rudder does nothing.
At slow speed and without power, a ship this size and this heavy, responds very very sluggishly to rudder input, and not robustly enough to have avoided the impact. You yourself said, and "then it lost all control". If they lost ALL control, there is no "modicum" of control regardless what a so-called "expert" says.
@@josephfrechette9916
No way! They did a lot in the few minutes they had.
It was clearly an accident. I've seen many of very close calls with bridges and barges/ships etc.., its actually a miracle that we haven't seen more of these types of incidents.
careful now you might trigger the paranoid boomers
not with current technology
I keep seeing this from "user" profiles... this was a cyber attack.
@@StagArmslowerright. Crazy how they keep trying to say that. Cause power just cuts off TWICE to these types of vessels. They know what it was, and know who will catch the blame for allowing them across.
Lol @@BLASTbeatDADLMAO you still haven't finished your bonepowder milkshake you ordered from the infowurs store
Rest in Peace. Prayers for the family s
1:48 when the power came back on you can tell the pilot tried desperately to steer left
Actually… if you had seen the first videos people took… that are now deleted … you would see the ship turned completely around and slammed into that support.. the ship was running.
Exactly, had it kept going straight it probably would have not hit the bridge.
@kevywilliams3304 lol. There's a side by side video of the ship and the GPS that proves you wrong sir. The ship was being driven or piloted by 2 local harbor pilots until outta the bay. Not by the ships captain. The GPS show the ships speed. And power outage and when the ship went adrift.
@@kevywilliams3304and if you look at the port. The ships are tugged out and have to do a u turn to get out of the bay. So again. You are wrong.
I think a smart thing would be to have these ships being escorted by tugs and other boats for safety.. I mean just one engine or outage and this thing is a moving bomb.. I don't understand why these large ships aren't by law escorted by other vessels to insure safe passage just in case if it loses power.....
So sorry for the city , and the folks who lost there lives , god be with you.
Condolences to the families of the victims.
Oh my gosh! That bridge just crumbled.Was it so flimsy? It's terrifying.
Physics. I’m very much a lay person but I’ve heard a number of engineers say that the collapse was inevitable given the size of the boat that crashed into it. Once that pilar was taken out - the bridge was going down.
So incredibly sad.
Why would pay with the federal resources. The ship's company should pay for it. That's why they should have insurance.
Be quiet.
Exactly!!!
@@Jack_Russell_Brown This would mean the US would by cut of from nearly all world trade.
Beside the US Shipping makes out less as 0.4% of the world wide shipping fleet.
I would rather our tax dollars go to rebuild this bridge than to illegal immigrants who doesn't deserve it.
The insurance probably won’t cover it, the company almost certainly doesn’t have the money, and the company would just declare bankruptcy. We should collect what we can but Americans need to look out for Americans.

Did they drop anchors ?
Im literally crying for those workers, breaks my heart
They should be home with their families 😢
They need to get the bridge repair done quickly to facilitate and open the railroad crossing it as well.
Tragic.
Imagine had it been rush hour. This is just horrible 😢 Prayers for the families …
Remind me of what happened down here in Tampa Florida in 1981 with the skyway bridge getting hit and collapse
Why was it going in a wrong direction in the first place?
Because it had multiple power failures…?
@@ksaylor4760sure it was
It wasn’t going the wrong direction. It just pulled out from docking headed out to the ocean. Until the power outage it was in the middle of the channel (transport lane) and going at appropriate speeds. A ship that size doesn’t stop or even slow easy and even 7-8 knots is enough to do major damage.
It was probably hitting propellers in reverse so hard the ship veered off course
@@ChristopherBongYou, sir, are technically correct, the best _kind_ of "correct".
Who was the architect for that bridge?
God please May the souls who lost their lives in this tragic happening rest in paradise this tragically scary🙏🏻🕊️
Damn
Most likely the anchor they dropped in the water caused the ship to change the course so quickly and struck the bridge column.
Exactly! Nobody is understanding this. They dropped the starboard anchor it dragged and pulled them right into the bridge.
That anchor didn’t do anything it changed course due to the current
I wish I knew the channel name , What are we shipping now, or something like that. It breaks it down in real time both from the video and corresponding water charts with its navigation beacon. The ship was directly in the channel(transport lane) until the power failure, then it started to drift. Dropping the anchor was a last minute prayer to try and bleed off some speed, it was never going to stop the ship.
@@blank-dr2kx How do you know?
Middle of the night no other boats in the water and they hit a support beam? Like they couldn't have steered over before it was close to that? And if not couldn't have gotten a distress call out sooner?
Nope not at all, they lost power, this means no propulsion or rudder, so no steering at all.
And then you have a side channel exactly at the point there the ship starts to go side ways.
So this means emergency rudder inputs would have not enough influence to prevent the crash.
No mention of the captain? Why? Why didn't they show the part where the ship turns towards the bridge?
Construction workers in new zealand send their condolences. Stay safe brothers.
Kiwi tough fellers! Thank y'all. This ain't the first disaster, they just keep coming over the years.
my concern how do captain see where he is gonna with all those containers in the way is blocking the view ?? where is the bridge on the boat ?? where was the tug boats ??? why on earth they do it at night ??? someone was in charge in shipments...and its companies to be blame for work ethics that you see people working as 5 employees jobs for cost having only one employee doing it . And this goes entire workplace employment from retail to shipping . Every retail owners owned this responsibility for cost cutting and not spending enough for employment safety
Strange how its recorded perfectly like an action movie for the veiwers to fall for they're b.s. Most likely did it themselves as usual just like 91.1, 712, 107, corona, manchester arena, russian terror attack, nordic stream etc Every time something that domniates all the media is something they've orchestrated themselves. End of the day it will be our tax payers money that builds it. Nice destr.uction from the palestinian genocide.
#sick of our ly.ing govern.ments
Where does one even start with all these idiotic questions? Just wait until he finds out even airplanes land at night
Sorrow 😢😢
Condolences to the victims of this tragic a accident from South Africa 🇿🇦
How do you loose steering and power like that? The engine was apparently running. Not sure if that is a normal amount of smoke...
A lot of those ships have computer controlled navigation systems
When the propeller stops turning, the rudder does nothing. Now you have a heavy ship drifting to current and wind.
@@tonyburzio4107 it will just keep going....its the water.....
The ship cannot stop abruptly. When the power is lost suddenly, the ship will continue to drift ahead.
The crash would not have happened if that had been the case.
The ship suddenly served to the right and hit the bridge pylon.
If a mayday went out and the department of transportation shut down the bridge to traffic why in the hell weren't those construction workers also ordered to leave the area
They didn’t that mayday was ordered seconds before the crash. The full video shows cars and trucks crossing the bridge as the boat lost power
They had 90 seconds
Look man I get what you're saying but from when dispatch advises closing the bridge to when the bridge collapsed is less than a minute it's not as straightforward as it seems in hindsight. The construction workers don't get the word as early as the transportation officials either which gives them even less time. They have 30 seconds tops to receive the information, get in their vehicles and get off the bridge.
Y'all think this all took place in 24 hours.
The whole incident took 90 seconds
they had 2 minutes to do so
The bridge should have a large base footing protecting the all main bridge column to protect against this kind of mishap. Sad indeed. Accident that can be avoided
So sad for the lives lost. RIP
video got posted as soon as i found out about this, literally 6 mins ago
I have never seen a boat crash into a bridge before in a movie
Condolences to all the families & friends, (& co-workers), who lost their loved ones in this horrific accident. My heart sank as I heard this news. One has to think the ship suffered an obvious mechanical issue. BUT, one hopes the maintenance records do not paint a picture of neglect or ineptitude related to this ship's readiness &/or safety to be operating as so often has been the case. For these lost lives it's tragic & horrific.
Why was it going in the direction of the bridge
This accident was preventable, if only the ship would have been escorted with tugboats until it had cleared the bridge. It should have been a requirement to have escorts, this was a stupid mistake overlooked by the whole establishment.
save money
Ur right... Usually ships r escorted by both mother tugs forward n aft or port n starboard till 2 or 3 miles from port exit n entry... The collision could have saved by the tug boats easily
God please be with these people and their families.
The god that let this happen
that truck that went by just before the ship hit. whoever on that truck my gosh. narrow escape. So terribly sad for those workers that were on that bridge. Such unfortunate timing to be working on repairs at that time. Feel very terrible for them.
this is so sad
Security cameras all over including approaches to the bridge, direct contracts for people who were making repairs and this should have only taken minutes to find out by the authorities who are on the ball. clearly something is missing just in gathering basic information. everyone on the work crew should have been accounted for and every car that went up the bridge from both sides and knowing the time stamp the video should have been reviewed within an hour of the police and rescue workers arriving. the working time for someone in the water is less than 30 min. so after 2 hours it should have become a recovery and not a rescue. Again, this shows incompetency on the part of both authorities and rescue workers. This should be on a check list for all disasters. Government is the problem here. Am I wrong?
You are and aren’t wrong. From a rescue perspective the actual people on the ground knew the outcome, just like the outcome was known about the submersible that imploded going down to the titanic. Given water temps alone the survival time is easily less than an hour at best, but there are is alot of shoreline and ingresses to check before it can be confirmed. That’s why the construction company presumed them dead before officials did.
As far as traffic cams and knowing what vehicles were on the bridge, I don’t really know. My best assumption is quality, the fact that not all cams run constantly or the fact even if you can identify those cares you can’t exactly know who is inside of it.
In general most disaster operations work very similar. The environment changes but the actual workings don’t. Most of the things you mentioned would have been checked on but they aren’t exactly going to share what all they did. Nor do they want to share results even when overwhelming evidence shows to the contrary. Basically you don’t confirm bad news until your can really confirm it.
wait. How did they not move the construction guys away from the bridge as they had received the mayday call??
@@ladyras The reasons could be numerous. Were they on foot working? Ear protection which means no hearing? How far from their transport. How far from the exit? They had barely 2 minutes from mayday to collapse.
@@Sitankou Large bridges could have automatic collision course detectors, which shut down the traffic before the crash. They could also warn any workers on the bridge. At the very least it should be possible to detect collisions after the fact in order to automatically close the traffic in case no mayday calls are received.
@@RolandPihlakas Could vs do? It’s not a draw bridge that I can see. I don’t know if it has hard barriers to stop traffic or not. To your point I don’t know if there are detectors on bridge pylons. LiDAR might have been installed on it, I don’t know the bridge specs.
why was the ship so close the support column, doing entering or exit the port, the cargo ship should be at the center position of the bridge where the highest point to avoid height issues.
The ship wasn't close to the support column, It turned slightly and went head on towards the column.
@thulomanchay my point was if it was if the ship was at the center between two support columns , even if it turned slightly, would not have crashed!!
It lost power thousands of feet before the bridge and started drifting with enough time to make it all the way to the pylon
Ship from where?
I'm not familiar with the bridge, but does it normally raise up when large ships come along?
no
Has anybody thought to ask the crew of the ship what happened? Why is it nobody brings that up?
Obviously this incident is still under investigation and the crew is not going to be allowed to talk to anyone besides the investigators. You have a brain, use it.
@@seshionslol
@@seshions Its not obvious that the crew would be forbidden from talking to anyone other than investigators.
And it is unusual for the news to pretend that the ship has no crew.
Gives critical thought into how fragile we are as a nation

Tug boats? coffee break?
This is a good point. Gotta wonder what type of tug boat personal was working and what they were doing
Tug boats are not mandatory in the Baltimore port.
The vessel was clearly off coarse 4-5 minutes prior to striking the bridge standard, tugs certainly could have helped. The smoke was a last gasp effort to reverse. The vessel was way out of center of the channel.
@@user-ex4ys8ty5e oof, this is where you’re wrong. Please review “What’s going on with Shipping?’s” video of this. It was on course.
The tug boats left the ship once they pulled them into the shipping lane. They lost power in the shipping lane.

Lost their lives and the
Surviving family
Very sad
When did the May day call occur???
Who was driving the ship??
Muslims.
They said it lost power and couldn't steer? Idk how that's possible but
They should have had backup generators for events like this
Auto pilot.
@@lucapuzzoli8363 They should have hired you to work as an industrial designer.
The cargo ship is from a Singaporean company funded by UK and the ship was built by Korean company in 2015. China is very lucky that was not get involved. Otherwise, we will see a lot of conspiracy theories flying around.
conspiracy theories are already being spread. It’s ridiculous. Someone said, “How ironic this happened on the side where Bidens house is”. Like seriously people?!!!
Also bidens house isn’t even in Baltimore. Gosh.
Be patient. China will somehow be pulled in and blamed. Already seen some comments about this bridge being made in China.
There’s already a lot of conspiracies flying around from fans of a certain NYC elite…
They’re claiming it was an attack, it was an inside job to distract from… P Diddy 🙄, and even one claiming they wanted to take the bridge down because they hate the anthem and replace it with a “George Floyd bridge.”
Baltimore mandatory requires 2 local American pilots during way out of the port
The boat changed course in the direction of the bridge before they had "engine failures" and he is Ukrainian.
Since then, Ukraine is now saying there would be more incidents like this if the USA and Europe don't help them faster....
When the Bay Bridge and Cypress freeway collapsed during the 1989 quake in the San Francisco Bay Area, they realized the structure hadn’t been updated. It’s so important to keep structures that have heavy traffic daily up to code.
Masssive ships passing fragile and important infrustracture without tugs is totally irresponsible. Total contempt by those responsible for the protection of public infrastructure.
This don't seem like an accident with everything happening around the world.
You don't seem like u have any idea what you're talking about
Prices all over the country will go up for this port being hit
There’s literally ALWAYS stuff happening around the world; wars, famines, government collapses…
This kinda thinking is why people were making a big deal about the food warehouses and production facilities catching fire last year in USA, despite roughly the same amount catching fire EVERY year.
Just because this is the first time YOU are paying attention does not mean this is the first time stuff was “happening around the world.”
