- Rescue efforts are underway after a section of a major bridge collapsed in the US city of Baltimore. A Singapore-flagged container ship, the Dali, had collided into a pillar of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. Two people have been rescued so far, with one in serious condition. The fire department has called it a "mass casualty event", with search operations looking for seven individuals. Officials earlier said there could be as many as 20 people in the water. Simon Marks reports from Washington DC.
With this kind of deadweight, once the steering went the wrong direction, it will take a long time to come to a full stop even with the brake fully applied. This is why in Singapore, they are being dragged into the port by boat. Cannot believe they have a suspended bridge next to the port. Once any part of the cable snap, the whole bridge fall like a domino. Which mean, there is no room at all for human error.
This is not a Suspension bridge, but rather a Cantilever type of bridge; no cables in the design. That bridge has been there for decades and this is the first time an incident like this has happened on the US East Coast in awhile. I've driven over that bridge plenty of times with ships passing underneath with no problems at all.
If you watch the extended video carefully, a few minutes before you can see the entire ship go dark indicating a power failure. A ship can't steer much, if at all during a power failure.
Truss bridges are held up by tension, much like a suspension or cable-stayed span and having similar vulnerabilities.
basically baltimore port is off the table for months
They can use military bridge tanks in the meantime..
they build bridges that fast? if it where my country. if it breaks, it breaks
Usually in ports like these, the local captains will be in charge of steering the ship as they know the waters better. The ship might be registered in SG but the captain of the ship is most likely not Singaporean.
Still defending your country
Lol~ is that how sinkies defend their own country?🤣🤣🤣
@@paulgreen6933 Ships are only registered in certain countries due to convenience. That's why so many ships today are registered in such powerhouses as Liberia and Greece. Both of these, and Singapore too, have little influence over what how these ships operate.
You are right. Those Captains were not just Americans they were local from that area. Captains lost control (or ship malfunctioned) but it was the crew of 22 Indians who sent the SOS signal, allowing authorities to avert massive tragedy. No one will praise or give medal to those brave men but social media will be busy making racist memew.
Singapore should foot the bill, and their citizens should not get visas to come to the USA until they do!
Same ship have collission history in Belgium last 2016. 😮
Training wasn't improved?
Owners skimped on repairs and maintenance. That's what corporations do.
Shameful part is, the US gov't is footing the bill for what is ultimately the fault of the shipping company.
Ship lost power...

I pray for strength and comfort for the families of those who have been affected by the tragedy . Lord have mercy and help for quick recovery of the lost.🙏
Hello@Evelyn
How are you doing 😊
Where are you from?
It happened in China when a ship hit a bridge few week ago, they laughed at China Tofu Bridge. Now who laughing. 😮😮😮
you comparing an empty cargo ship that hit the bridge in china vs a fully loaded ship? are you that stupid? asians are bad behind the wheel.
The Guǎngzhōu bridge are lower concrete spans that enjoy largely independent supports at the point of impact. The Key Bridge main span is a truss type held up by tension, more like a suspension or cable stayed bridge.
ermm did you see the above ship with tons of cargo , lol , and which bridge in the world can withstand that ?
Well. We may hear later like this ship is made in China, bridge used Chinese steel, sailors are Chinese decedents…….lol.
Wow… i dont think its related to Singapore’s MHA stance on Israel embassy’s FB post being taken down. They will never do such thing. They are saints.
Many people still have no clue on how massive a ship as huge a cruise ship is.
You're becoming quite a celebrity, Singapore
You have zero intelligence
And US Congress will have an inquiry grilling session : [Is Singapore out to get US?] Guess who will be on the grilling hot seat?
1MDB and MH370 still bigger stories. 🎉
Singapore should foot the bill, and their citizens should not get visas to come to the US until they do!
ur bridge is weak af dont be talking this happened earlier before already in 2016..@@telescopicS627
US congressman: I assume the captain was watching TikTok as his ship, which is, by the way, Singapore-flagged hit the bridge. See? Singapore, TikTok... I KNEW IT!!!
Singapore should foot the bill, and their citizens should not get visas to come here until they do!
Do your homework!! It's a foreign ship registered in Singapore !
It was a pile of rust held together with paint.
Fell like a house of cards for sure
YUP, the bridge was a pile of crap, just like the rest of USA😂🤣, BUT it is sad for the people😢, on that deadhtrapp of a bridge, they will fix it, just like your border, your debt, East Palestine in Ohio, Hawaii ect🤫, DAMN🤔, your Country have a lame duck, UPS (S)eletctet President🤡.
Now they get free money to build a proper one. Singapore isn’t a poor country.
Truss bridges are held up by tension. Think of it like a suspension bridge, and how quickly compromised the structure would become if its tower got slammed into.
@@doujinflipProbably should reconsider the use of such bridges if there are ships traveling under it in the future.
If ship lose power, why there is huge smoke indicating full power and why the ship instead of turning away it turn sharply to head direct for the pillars?
Engine working but maybe transmission kapuut
That’s might be the engine going in reverse at full power … before they lost power again.
Looks like pilot took steps to steer the ship in emergency
Dun tell me a navigation error brought the container ship to drive all the way to that pillar of the bridge when it had no business being there
Initial reports state that the ship lost power right as it was passing, and then drifted and collided into the bridge. why the backup power never kicked in (in time) is another story
Bow thrusters failed, no tugboat assisted? Plenty of Qs
@@ItzChickenYall Also, was authorities aware? Anything done to keep people off the bridge? This is not a plane crash, it is a whole ass ship that takes time to drift
@fidelcatsro6948 boat lost power less than five minutes before collision,they could barely stop the ship or steer it let alone call for assistance.
Wow… i dont think its related to Singapore’s MHA stance on Israel embassy’s FB post being taken down. They will never do such thing. They are saints.
Driver got car accident then blame the car .
someone must have wanted a new bridge since many of these bridges are getting way too old in US of A.
🤣🤣 Maybe
US spends more money funding foreign wars than domestic infrastructure. I drove across Mississippi River two months ago and there were two bridges blocked due to damages since 2016, no money to rebuild.
As old as biden
i dun get it, how did the ship lost power? after knocking the bridge, it stopped? y didnt it stop prior? are the ppl rescued? omg what a nightmare
It is embarassing that something like this can actually happen. Nobody thought about this potential scenario?
Most of the bridges in US are old enough, Singapore said it is time to rebuild a new one
Pls don't anyhow talk about it you remarks your own but now Singapore
Well in all seriousness, Singapore is going to get to pay for a new one now…
The reason haven't found out why so many internet trolls complaint about Singapore meaning very simple as you son murder someone your thinking that you are the ones mastermind l feel so sad still got people haven't rescue safe and your taking about nonsense

Looks like a bridge in india. So flimsy
All the 22 crews are Indians.
Seems like Chinese Tofu dreg bridge
@@tobacco118yes, the crew is Indian but they informed the port authority that they have lost the ship control as the power went off....engine stopped working.
Edit: when the ship was passing it was under the control of Bailtmore port pilots not the Indians
@@vickyyadav5723 Let's wait for the investigation report
@@vickyyadav5723need to check the engine maker and the ones who did the previous maintenance
Knowing these guys, they will definitely blame China since (to them) Singapore is a city in China.
Singapore should foot the bill, and their citizens should not get visas to come to the US until they do!
@@telescopicS627 that's a very good idea. It will help Singapore to reorient itself to its home region instead of a faraway hegemon.

@@telescopicS627Singapore should raise their own chicken
@@eadiey3681 S'poreans wouldn't do actual labor if their lives depended on it. They'd import foreigners to raise their chickens.
Why the nationality of the captain of this cargo ship is not mentioned?
Although, only stupidity can be the reason for this accident, but why the bridge is there ard a busy port?
Apparently it was an Indian crew on the ship. Having said that, the ship lost power (we will find out soon why that happened; fire in the engine bay apparently) and the captain had laid the anchor and informed the authorities of an imminent collision. As such, the cops had actually blocked off the bridge before the collision and prevented many more deaths, though unfortunately some construction workers lost their lives.
Nice try, though, by attempting to be racist - without any evidence - and pinning the blame on the crew, when they actually followed all procedures and communicated ahead of time. Even if the crew wasn't Indian, did you really expect them to be able to completely stop such a large vessel amid power outage, in the same circumstances?
The captain and owner are to blame for the mishap. The ship lost power and couldn't be controlled and subsequently hit the bridge. There were two pilots on board, but they could do nothing. So, it would be millions of dollars of damages that must be borne by the owner.
Billions not millions
Prior to the accident, 2 Baltimore port pilots were in control of the ship. Blame?
2 billion including goods that are now void.
@@lesliegrace8360 The pilots could do nothing as the ship had lost power. It is therefore the owner and captain that have to be held accountable and pay damages.
@@michaelshih8163 Yet proven on the power loss explanation, the Baltimore governor still have no information on the accident.
But do you condemn bridge?
Ship has the right to defend itself
So drama... I guess... The players are trying to test the integrity & efficiency of the legal groups in both USA & Singapore.
One refuse to any transportation.
Singapore must pay compensation to American families or face sanctions.
Are u serious??? What has Singapore got to do with this ,?? It's not from Singapore! That foreign ship just registered in Singapore! Do your homework !
Pilot did not know the height just like the sentosa cable car incident in the 80s
Pilot knew the height. They just couldn't steer the ship as it had lost power due to poor maintenance. the owner has to pay billions in damages.

@@petrushka2Was responding to a "melon" saying it's British owned. Brits don't own anything after Margaret Thatcher 😄
I am more worried about the rescue efforts. What Singapore can do to help? At least provide some useful data because it is Singapore registered ship for Maersk after all. If matter get worse cannot even sell TikTok shop item in the state via drop shipping. Due diligence is important leh.
I would avoid your comments like a plague.
Exactly, how can we expect a country that can't build a bridge properly to spearhead the rescue mission of its own citizens. We must have been crazy to allow America to be the captain of our moral compass.
You can pay us the full cost of the damaged which you caused and your citizens should not get visas to come here untill you do!

Crew last-second-binging on too much TikTok while still in range of terrestrial mobile-cell towers lol
failing to understand why would the pilot steer the sheep so much, once past the guiding markers. would not it have gone straight through if not steered so abruptly. May be i m missing something.

@@ZeroCool2512No, the TikTok CEO looks so dumb!

The crew could be from anywhere. like the whole Indian crew on the panama flagged ship that blocked the Suez canal.. Anyway cargo ships are piloted in\out of ports by local pilots not the ship's crew though the Ship's Captain (and the owner) is still fully responsible..
....and i am a singaporian pilot fasting...
were they drunk?????
Indians like to drink beer 😂
American bridges and roads are falling apart
They spending on Israel😂😂😂
Anything to do with tiktok?
No worry Singapore is US ally. News will be filter and forgotten soon. Ally more important than old bridge.

captain fainted. captain fasting. captain ramadan
Local Baltimore Pilots supposed to guide the vessel and Captain..
Got chance now to build back better bridge!
the pillars of the bridge look like chopsticks
You can see from your laptop?
Theyre rattan sticks actually😂😂
The bridge supports are average size, it's the ship that's huge.
You can image how American builds a bridge that was so fragile which could not even withstand a kiss from a ship! that bridge must be made of glass!
Are two captains or pilots viewing TikTok? Or please find Chinese spy on the ship. LoL
are u dumb? he is a singaporean not from China. Also, Singapore has three different races and we all live harmoniously.
China made Bridge are more quality today
lol woops!
That an oops story to tell to many generations ahead🤣
Bonus gone liao
Must be a foreign talent piloting the ship
Unfortunately, the red dot has become rojak fake talent sinking land.
Nope. Piloted by 2 Baltimore port pilots.
Definitely , Cargo ships are piloted by Local (the Port's) pilots when going in/out , the crew only takes over when the ship gets to open seas, though the Ship's Captain is still fully responsible and has has full authority ( Basically the captain can only ask for change of pilot if he disagree but can never overide/takes over the Local pilot)
Ships coming in and out of ports all have their local pilots to come on board and command the vessel and its captain..once out of port limits the pilot deboards the vessel..incident happened 1.25am, someone was sleepy
This ship hit on the soft spot of bridge ; seems it is such an coincidental or too professional 🩸🩸🩸🩸🩸
Either the ship captain have been drinking before the incident or ship set on auto pilot. No doubt this is a Singapore flagged vessel but definitely not captained by a Singaporean. Innocent lives are affected by this incident. May God be with those who are affected by this and bless their family throughout this difficult time. The ship's Captain must bear full responsibility for his actions. Is the Captain of the Ship an American ? Heard that he's a local from that area.

Well time to rebuild the bridge. Poor condition of US infrastructure
How do you know that? You can look from the far after the bridge was hit or before it was hit.
More like a design vulnerability of the structure, which as a tension-based span much like a suspension bridge doesn't have much tolerance to breakage on the main supports.
Singapore should foot the bill, and their citizens should not get visas to come here until they do!
The bridge is so vulnersble so thin legs support its a tragedy waiting to happen

They're not designed to take a direct strike from a fully-laden ocean liner. No bridge support is.
