- A container ship rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers were searching for survivors.
Two people were rescued from the waters under the Francis Scott Key Bridge, one in serious condition, according to Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace. He said authorities “may be looking for upwards of seven people” but said that number could change. It was not clear if the two rescued were included in the seven.

This is everyone who crosses those bridges worst nightmare
Fr. Especially when you're stuck in traffic
Especially those who can't swim
@@chiucheeyong like myself.
I know I would die from a heart attack if I don’t fall off the bridge
@@fredpeezyyou don’t know how to swim?
the mayor of baltimore looks like he's just getting ready to go to Jr. High.
Bro look 19
Diversity, inclusion, retarded
DEI guy
Can you believe he’s 39? 😂
Don't knock him for looking young. He's 39 yrs old. Former President of the Baltimore City Council. Elected Mayor in 2020.
Praying for everyone who fell in the water to be rescued safely. Praying for peace and strength for their families. Praying for the rescue workers. Just a horrible situation. 🙏🙏🙏
Pray for God to not allow these things to happen. He's in control of all.
@@tabora_Do you have the slightest understanding of Scripture to realize that your statement is not entirely accurate? The Creator is indeed in control of everything and allows certain things to happen, but mankind takes actions and there is consequences, that is the point of the will of man, to choose one way or the other way. Mistakes happen also. Through tribulation, strength and faith can be gathered nonetheless. Things happen that are meant to happen. Upon reading Scripture as well, and understanding, you would realize that the rule of this earth is given over to the queen of heaven, Lucifer, because she rebelled and wanted to take the position of the Almighty, and to prove that her way will not work or sustain life but only bring destruction, rule was given to her and you see the influence in all forms of mans governments today.
Right imagine how anoying is to get wet cold on the river
@LetYahArisee so, what made God allow this to happen? 💀💀 so now you're saying God INTENTIONALLY let this happen?
@@tabora_ I didn't say that, I literally said certain. Read again, slowly.
The second walked away and refused treatment = legend 😂
This man works in pizza delivery 😆
Well, the collapsing bridge is nothing compared to the danger of a typical American hospital bill. Can't blame him.
@@anshadedavana I'm dead 😂😂
He was involved 🏃🏃🏃
Not what his lawyer wanted to hear
My sister works for EZ Pass. I just got off the phone with her. She told me it’s diesel and fuel all in the water and one of the contract companies they have was doing some routine maintenance when it collapsed and so far they have only located 7 cars underwater
TY for the info.
🙏🙏🙏
mercy
The mayor looks like he’s 15
He acts like it
Good, better than being 75. They need to put age limit on politics at every level.
I was just finna say lil kid speaking 😭😭
Hes was heading out to meet Archie and Jughead apparently.
He’s got a beard?
The mayor looks like hes about to get into a taxi and go straight to Bel Air
I’m really glad this did not happen during rush hour. It would be unimaginably worse.
Now a major bridge is no longer in service probably for years which will affect east coast traffic and travel but many people seem to be concerned how the mayor looks.
well what do you expect me to do about it
Kinda like our illegitimate regime of a government? 😂
Yeah, and that bridge ain’t gonna be cheap to replace either because from the looks of what’s left there is no just fixing it.
Who would live in Baltimore? I'm far from it. 😊
The harbor is closed also so that is going to cause supply chain issues. Inflation isn't going anywhere..........
PLEASE PRAY FOR US. 🙏🙏🙏 As a Maryland resident, I'm heartbroken 💔. Having driven across that bridge dozens of times over the last few decades, my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone on it during this tragic incident.
So sorry.
Lot’s happening...

So the ship loses power
No radio,
No cell service?
No backup power
No horns, No warnings, No flashing lights.
And meantime we have AI everything.
The Maritime Commission failed
The ship lost power just minutes before the impact. The power was restored once momentarily but was lost again. There wasn't sufficient time for the Emergency power and even if it did come on it only powers one of the steering motors not the Main Engine.
Vsl this big has strong momentum and without ME it would be nearly impossible to bring her under control.
There were local Pilots onboard the ship at the time of the incident and in my experience these are highly trained pilots who would have done everything in their power to avoid this.
It's just a very unfortunate accident.
We should ban boats.
They could have tried maybe dropping anchor I don't know if that would have worked I doubt it
@@gunnydan25what are you going to do ban cars also because there's accidents what are ridiculous comet
@@gunnydan25 Sure moron , lets ban boats , we can just swim all the import / export products because america produces EVERYTHING we need , enjoy freezing / starving / factory and manufacturing shut downs and walking everywhere while prices quadruple or worse and then we can ban trucks as well , after all , trucks can crash too ! ----- Welcome back to the stone age professor retard !
The captain of the ship said power was lost. He tried to radio for help but was too late.
wasnt the pilot on board? wasnt the ship being assisted by a tug as well?
They had footage leaked too, the power went out twice before the collision
special cargo ship operation
bro.... ships dont have pilots, it has a captain... @xisotopex
(read my other comment explanation of the difference between a "pilot" and a "ship pilot" there are some considerable differences between the two terms)
@@joshplayzgamezz...... dude... my brother.... pilots are what they call guides in certain ports or close waters where you have to be careful and may not know the waters....
I couldn’t imagine being on that bridge
Inside job this has BLM rittin all over it
Especially if you can't swim
@@rubylimey7614Even if you can swim, at this time of year the water is so cold that hypothermia would set in quickly.
Don’t imagine then if you couldn’t please 🙏 😊
Well you don’t have to because you weren’t on the bridge
No pilings protecting the piers? Shipping lanes under bridges should have extremely redundant protection.
Right on!! The sections falling one after the other too!! Man!! Anytime humans are at the wheel and place more faith in computerized location and fuel reserves onboard there should be a back-up. The bridges need more stanchions and separate supports so no “domino effect”. So sad
How are you going to economically stop +200,000 tons of ship moving at 10 knots?
Bridge wasn’t designed for ships this size. Likely the bow took it out and not even the body of the ship
Suddenly, everyone is an expert...happily commenting away
@@parnamsaini4751Basically a lot of people screaming about why didn't more money get spent when you know damned well they would of screamed about the costs any prior time.
This is terrible. But it happened at 1:30 AM. Imagine if it had been rush hour! My God. Prayers to all affected by this calamity.
No great lost most are Biden voters .
It’s wild how I live in Pensacola and the Pensacola Bay Bridge collapses from a hurricane. And I grew up just outside of Baltimore, and now the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapses. These are the 2 bridges I have been on the most times in my life.
Don't move to San Francisco and maybe the golden gate might collapse. You're bad luck for bridges 😂😂😂
Please move to San Francisco! Then New York City after that.
@@Ricky_Spanishhthis foo
This is so tragic, but it would have been so much worse if it happened during the day.
They planned it for night time, it must’ve been one shaky bridge if a ship hitting a pillar brought the whole lot down, I smell a rat with all these ship accidents happening in locations that effect the supply of goods
@@michaelwalsh9145 Do you understand how much a fully loaded container ship weighs? The sheer tonnage hitting a bridge support is similar to a car hitting a sapling. That bridge was also built 50 years ago, prior to the increased usage of these mega container ships.
@@cate9540 come on, have you any knowledge of engineering? Obviously not.
@@michaelwalsh9145 Yes, I do. The bridge is 50 years old with concrete supports constantly exposed to salt water. Microscopic fissures in the concrete would expose the underlying steel supports to the salt water as well, which could lead to weakening of the structure. I'm sure that the NTSB will be examining the inspection and maintenance records to determine if all necessary repairs were up to date.
@@cate9540 I’m sure it was properly maintained over the years just like any other bridge, you’re very gullible if you believe that they just ignored the structure of the bridge after building it even small bridges in my local town that were built in the 1600’s are maintained yearly, big trucks cross them bow compared to horse and carts when the were built.
This is concerning and all but why does the mayor of Baltimore look like he just came straight out of his senior year of high school?
he's 39. what's wrong with young civic leaders? Too scary a thought since the stereotypical politician is 85?
Hes 40, black DONT crack

Imagine refusing treatment after the bridge you're on collapses because you know that you'll be paying those bills for years to come to the corporate overlords.
Um. Didn't think about that. But 100% agree! It is sad........
Is everything a conspiracy in your world?
You wouldn't be paying any of those bills.... The outfit operating the ship owns all of it.
Seems a bit of a leap. What evidence do you have that was the reason?
Today in capitalism..
This week on "Teen Mayor...."
He is 39
Terrible event, pray for those involved.
Those poor people may never be able to cross a bridge again. Horrifying.
The mayor looks like he’s talking to the news after winning the state game

On appearances the Mayor didn't look a head of local government, but he spoke really well and said all the right things. 👍
So sad. God bless the families
You dumbbell
That's the Mayor of Baltimore? He looks like a high school kid...
He's 39 I just looked it up on Google
That's an extremely young mayor
He's worthless, just another liberal mayor making Baltimore worse, he was voted in not based on qualifications, just like Chicago's mayor 😉
They don't make it past 20 over there
Hey that looks like the guy that stole my car.
He's 39. He looks GREAT for his age, though!
He will go down for corruption at some point in time.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all involved🙏❤
Walked away and refused treatment is CRAZY
That speech was original.
That bridge crumble like cookie crumb
Such a poorly designed structure.
It was built by mexicans
It’s like Biden on stairs, the bridge, same
Structures that large are much closer to their material limits then smaller things. They're so heavy that if there's any problem they're at risk of being torn apart by their own weight.
Mexicans made that bridge
Where were the tugboats bringing in/ out the ship?
My thought too.
No reason for a tugboat to be involved. That's an unnecessary expense in this situation..
@@ToolofSociety i’m talking about the ship being brought into/ out of port before hitting the bridge. Pretty standard procedure
@@ToolofSociety Obviously _not_ unnecessary...
Wonder what the expense of this will be?
How much are those lives worth? Families?🤔
@@sonneversets3530Good luck selling companies on that when that bridge has seen hundreds of thousands of vessels with no incident.
If you want to go that far to save lives then you'd ban cars. No one can ever do anything unhealthy etc.
How many thousands are you willing to pay in taxes and higher prices a year to ensure this?
Someone asleep at the wheel? Can't believe this happen and please don't say it was self navigated with GPS.
a pilot would have been on board.
@@xisotopex Probably busy texting on his smartphone instead of stearing the ship.
Maybe terrorists Idk 😐
The boat lost power and couldn’t correct its trajectory, supposedly.
You are so correct Mayor. We must keep all those affected in our prayers
His mom tucked him into bed shortly after he spoke to reporters.
God bless their families and souls. This reminds me of a movie and gives me shivers. PLEASE be safe everyone!
I pray everyone is safe🙏🏾
Looked deliberate
Yeah sure, cause turning the ship off and on is as easy as fliping a button...
Who was the architect that designed that bridge? Are you kidding me He hits one abutment and an entire bridge collapse something's wrong with the design of that bridge.
That bridge was built in 1972, long before overloaded container ships became the norm. Designers can plan for a lot of adverse events, but it's difficult to anticipate how things can change 50 years into the future.
Passing blame? Why are you playing defense for those idiots? Entire ship crew should be arrested, tested and held until they find who's responsible. Asleep at the wheel? Drunk? Negligence?
@@almostontimehero5415 of course it was the captain and the operation of the vessel that caused the accident. But still architecturally designed sucked. Just like now they're finally are realizing they have to build bridges especially in areas that have high winds such as tornado ridden states and hurricane ridden states. They're now altering on their designs and the materials they use to withstand certain disasters. Such as the bridge up in Michigan several years ago and Bridges over by the Great lakes that have happened because of inclement weather and high winds. And no preventive maintenance.
I bet the crew was loaded. Merchant seamen love to party when aboard ship. I know many of them.
@@almostontimehero5415
@@almostontimehero5415he's not passing blame just telling you like it is
who's boat is it? Where did it come from?
In my opinion, the owner of the Singapore cargo ship, including the captain of the ship, must take full responsibility for this incident, because this incident not only damaged and destroyed the bridge on part of the transportation route.
but it has also claimed lives
From one of the safety observers in Indonesia 🇮🇩
Like sands through the hour glass... so are the days of our lives.
Imagine getting robbed on that bridge and just when you couldnt regret visiting baltimore any more, the bridge collapses.
Now you're stuck there!
How exactly would I get robbed on the bridge? If you're walking across that bridge at 1:30 am then you've made a series of bad life choices already.
Every minute is a good time to realize you may not have another minute.
Good to know Jesus, for sure!✝
There were cars on that bridge. What was the name of the bridge? I want to Google Earth it
Exactly why are they barely touching on that!😢😢
No longer sadly
It was the Baltimore Beltway.
Francis Scott Key Bridge
They said multiple times. Francis Scott Key bridge
I didn’t realize Mos Def ran for office 😂😂😂

Oh man... I was just in a cargo ship in Baltimore a few weeks ago. 😮
How does this happen?
I've heard politicians talk about crumbling infrastructure before, but this is ridiculous.
Given the tonnage of a fully loaded cargo ship, that could have been a brand new bridge and it wouldn't have withstood a hit like that.
Notice one thing the main stream media didn't tell you who was the operator of the ship.
Herc? Or something like that. 🤔
then he wasn't white
Literally nobody is going to care about that until the immediate situation is resolved.
Your comment will appear less than meaningless in only a short time.

Does anyone know if that bridge was open lastnight? Was it closed off before this or was it open the whole time.
Open
It is one of the few times we've heard the word, 'impact', used correctly. The effect is wonderful.
If anyone lost their lives I send them love and peace but my question is….😒Who caught it on camera?
I think they have surveillance camera facing there.
Probably cctv surveillance
This whole thing is..hmmm.🤔
Probably a 24h live feed.

If fhis was china u wouldnt even kno a bridge down
@fireamazon3677 y ou purposefully missed the point.
What's up with the ship losing power before the collision? I'm in tears. God help my fellow countrymen.
Pretty shocking to see that huge bridge come down so easily.
Very unacceptable!
New Fear unlocked
That’s the plan.
Hope you know Jesus.✝
Right!
RIP to those that were impacted wow 🙏
I'm sure the Rudders had an emergency Manual Mode! I was in the Navy for 21 years!
Don’t be a spoiler... ;)
Someone said the captain lost all power.
Not from china
the ship lost power. no way to maintain control over heading without power. doesnt matter if you have control over the rudder or not. and if you had actually been underway for any part of your "navy career" you would have a good understanding of how much distance and time it takes a very large container ship to come to a complete controlled full stop. and you if you had actually ever been underway, you would know that a narrow transit would be the worst place possible to go dead ship, and you would also already know that there would have been a pilot on board the vessel as well, but since your navy career was spent as what we Marines call a "POG" you wouldnt know that.
@user-vs6jh1xq5d thank you for your service in the navy!!

Horrible
Hopefully most of these people will be alright
Nothing is a coincidence at this point in time.

Bad take. You want a geriatric with old wild West ways to govern you?
He's 39 years old.
First you people complain about having a senile president, and now they are suddenly too young?
Could have lost power or steering, or an inability to cut power... don't jump to any conclusions.Ship appears to me, to be traveling at an excessive speed, but pure speculation.
Yes! Power was out and radios where down so he couldn't warn anyone. Sad people are bashing the captain when they don't have the whole story
