My heart breaks for the workers and their families😢
All immigrant workers, the backbone of the country. RIP
Rip to the homeless person that usually sits on that bridge
😢
Imagine if this happened during traffic
Yeah heck no
@fok8810 Imagine this happening TWICE in one month. Google: February 22, 2024 Cargo Ship Collapses Bridge Pearl River Guangzhou China . 5 people dead. Cargo ship captain arrested
Man I’m sick thinking about it.
You have people who don't know what they're doing.
@@shameiamorrisonsame i think i about to puke
"Many lives were likely saved..." seriously? You're opening with that?
Sickening
It's true though, the crews mayday call probably helped more deaths
This is what you call controlled media.
the bridge was crowded as hell as soon as like a minute before it went in the water.
What do you mean if any cars plunges into the water ? There’s video of cars falling into the water. There’s got to be more than 6 dead, unfortunately
There were no cars on the bridge at the time of the bridge collapsing from the video of the cargo ship railing into the Bridge I didn’t see any cars come up off the bridge
U would of seen headlights from the cars at the time of when the bridge had or started to collapse
@@kirsten2539there were multiple work trucks with orange flashing lights on video of the collapse
I saw cars and a tractor trailer!
😢 I moved from Maryland in July last year to SC. I used to take my son to University of Maryland hospital all the time because he has chronic kidney disease. The memories will never be forgotten. Rip to the lives lost and prayers to the families.
I'm from South Carolina, what part y'all live in 🤔
Prayers for all those lost in this catastrophe
They are talking about 6 workers! But I saw cars go down!!!’
I've read that the workers were in the trucks taking a break when it happened.
@@spaceflight1019yeah they were on meal break this is so sad
@@itsLeoReaction I guess that the bridge doesn't have a warning system, like loud horns, or a procedure for contacting the contractors on site directly, like a two-way radio. Coulda, shoulda, woulda...
@@spaceflight1019 yeah I dont think either
@@itsLeoReaction At least they have bridge workers there at night and they were monitoring 156.800 and heard the distress call directly instead of the coast guard having to relay the message.
Look up the full clip of the crash and speed the video up. The ship literally turned and hit the bridge.
That is what it looked like and you can see the motor be throttled up
@justinspeegle4668 Exactly... Check out that smoke stack
the governor is so cringe talking about some “Maryland tough and Baltimore strong” like sir that bridge fell after one blow… six people are dead and that’s what you have to say…
Well wtf do you want him to say? Did you watch the whole press conference or just the 5 second clip. Let us hear how you would respond since you obviously have the perfect response to a situation like this.
That was the governor of MD Wes Moore
Sounds to me 😊 like he had enough time to decide to shoot a Missile at the boat so it would not run into the Bridge...
Well he said to stop showing the video of the collapse
Dude what was he supposed to say? He's trying to be positive in a sad time and I doubt you could do any better. Your so brave and courageous sitting behind your keyboard. Pathetic dude
The men were working for Brawner Builders, filling potholes on the center span of the bridge, at the time of the collapse. They were originally from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico,.
One of the missing workers from El Salvador was identified as Miguel Luna by the nonprofit organization CASA.
That boat has been involved look written up repeatly around the world. I’m sure their file is as thick as book
@esmearvizo Was it in China on February 22, 2024??
Pearl River Guangzhou China...Cargo ship collapses bridge, 5 ppl. dead. Cargo ship captain arrested
Where did you find the write ups @esmearvizo7141
Whenever I see these type of “accidents”.. I wonder, what are we being distracted from?..
THE SAYING GOES, UNDER THAT LAYER, THERE'S ANOTHER LAYER!!😉
Could the ship drop their anchors to slow and even stop the ship?
They did use an anchor but it's too late and too dark to stop the ship in time due to loss of power
@@animemangafan1987 ""Too Dark"" you mean to Heavy & moving to fast, don't you? Darkest should have nothing to do with that. Now it does require fast action on the ships crew side, so if you had seamen who have 25 yrs experience maybe they could have missed and that's a big maybe. But if all they had was children that ship was doomed when it left the dock
This collision happened due to a lazy crew/captain, unconcerned with safety. They lost engine power as they were turning to go under the bridge, and began drifting towards the bridge support, powerless for around a minute and a half.
They were able to regain power, and instead of trying to abort the turn completely (which would've easily avoided the collision), they got greedy, and tried to finish the turn to go under the bridge, and not lose any time on their schedule. But they lost engine power AGAIN like 30 seconds after getting it back up and running, they were given a final push towards the bridge support, with no steering control. And then collided.
The cargo ship that caused the crash (the "Dali") has been in two previous collisions with similar conditions that could be easily avoided, given proper procedure. The people who crew this ship are NOT good people.
They more than likely knew their engines were faulty and unsafe, especially for such a huge vessel. And they chose to leave the port anyways.
@@Snack-Sized-Femboywhat are you smoking to get that speculation? The engine shutting down, which could’ve been a mechanical issue, means the rudder shuts down too. The black smoke was the crew turning on the emergency generator(s) to get power, which was when they dropped the port bow anchor to try to move the ship left.
@@Snack-Sized-Femboy Tell us you've never navigated a ship without telling us
Even though I think this was just incompetence on the part of the ship, maybe don't call the pilot of the ship a hero after he injured 2 and most likely ended the life of 6 bridge workers. I'm sure the family members of those still missing aren't calling the crew of that boat, "heroes." 🙄 Some kinda governor.

It was an accident because of the power. Without the power they cannot steer the wheel!
Pure speculation with no facts to back it up. You're not smart.
@@FilmedbyMacythey had lights like flashlights and the pilot still had light aswell or he could just turn around and then stop it
@@Snack-Sized-FemboyThis same exact thing happened on February 22, 2024 Pearl River Guangzhou China
5 people dead after cargo ship collapses bridge ...
The cargo ship captain was arrested, not hailed a "hero"
My question is, how does this happen TWICE in a month?? 🧐
If they obviously knew the ship was coming towards the bridge, why the F did they leave the workers on the bridge. They knew well enough to not let traffic on it ???
ship lost power right before hitting nothing anyone could have done.. unless we find out the ship was not being properly maintained
@@somathegamer4933Nothing is properly maintained in the good ol' US of A.
Dog they didn’t stop traffic watch the video
@@IBeforeAExceptAfterK true
@user-jv5vb6hs6f and yes they did ... those cars were already driving over it
I saw multiple cars falling into the water. Why is no one talking about that? The crew was not the only people who died
Should've closed the bridge off knowing that a cargo ship lost power and that they called mayday. Where were tugboats to stop the ship.. soo many questions
Said tugs are required on this bridge
They literally did say they tried to close the traffic thats why you only had 6 dead ppl. Image watching a video before you complain.
Normal Situation:
1 Ship collides with federal property and destroys it.
2 The pilot of the ship is detained to make the inquiry and the owner of the ship is required to repair the damage.
3 For legal reasons the boat must have accident insurance. Insurance pays.
.
Why would the United States federal government have to ask Congress for $20 billion to pay for the repair of the bridge?
(Someone needs to justify 20,000 million dollars)
How many anchors does a cargo ship have?
two anchors
Most ships have two anchors, one on the port bow and one on the starboard bow. They can be deployed manually.
The captain is fully responsible for this, he was responsible for the well maintenance of the ship and crew.
This was a cyber attack by China.
the Captain & crew will be detailed while it's under investigation - yet who was "auditing" that ship ? that's another question ...
something about tug boat funding cuts in baltimore 🤔 if tug boats kept guiding ship out of port past the bridge - then this wouldn't have happened ..
baltimore is a heavy traffic - very busy port too ...
sad
very sad
The tug 🚢 did it
Why were there no pilot ships guiding this through? Something doesn’t add up here.
The power went out so no matter what they did they couldn’t stop or guide it a diffrent way especially because How heavy it is.😢
@@Lamborghini700 I talked to a U.S. Navy vet who served on a Radar Destroyer. He told me that ship should have been guided on both sides by pilot boats. It should never had been unguided for this very reason.
@@richard_zanormous3648very true how stupid people are man i mean how even this big ship comes this close to bridge.what were port authorities doing.what were pilots doing have they not tried calling port authorities when they got power outage first time.i heard all the crew was indian and i am from india as well.i will not be shocked if i came to know that pilot have not made may day call until last minute because they were trying to save money of the company.that's how this works here in india sadly.
@@richard_zanormous3648 Former US Navy here. Pilot boats mean nothing if your ship loses power. It is the SINGLE biggest danger that we face during restricted maneuvering.
If a 118,000 ton ship loses powers at any appreciable speed, there is *nothing* anyone can do but pray it doesn't hit something.
@@adonislimes6156 You mean to tell me, 1/4 speed, guided by two pilot boats wouldn’t have made a difference? Did they even try to drop anchor? If a ship this size was off course that bad, we should mandate automatic drop anchor protocols. Or maybe even tug / pull them through. Something has to be done to prevent this from ever happening again. People lost their lives for nothing. I’m sick actually. This is absolutely terrible. Maybe have arrest cables attached to the back of these boats on huge piston brakes. When they make it through, you disconnect them and reel them back in. Two giant pilot boats and auto drop anchor if it deviates from course? Something has to be done about this.
Wait so there was no traffic on the bridge?
What about the people in the cars?
Im still trying to figure out why them construction vehicles did not leave that bridge
They didn't know
They aren't teslas can't drive themselves
My prayers going out to the vitamins?😢
Hawaii Maui, Ohio East Palestine, Las Vegas massacre, ruby ridge, waco + tons more and now this. Dear lord
Sue the state sue the company accident please me spilling tea on pants is a accident this was negligence by one or more companies ❤🙏
Wtf is this
Damn
So heart breaking 💔. My heart hurts for all who died in this, but thank God this didn't happen during the day during traffic time. and whoever was quick to to send that caution may day, did a great job.
Why are they not talking about the people in the cars? I saw them!
Please resign. That was the worst opening to any news report like this.
Dude this an anchorman lol bruh is a gangster
Ancore??
Boat Captin- "Whut?? Who put this bridge here..."😅
Yeah this has set up wrote all over it
True that
Biden and Putin were operating the ship at the time. There was footage of both of them extracting via helicopter after the impact but you can’t find it online now.
negligence or intentional ?
Intentional duh it's more than obvious
nether of those, after the investigation, (maybe) they will call it negligence, after they find out what went wrong, which probably they will blame some system wasn't properly maintained...
The ship lost power.
@@carlossebastiannecroticgot7232What’s obvious about it?
No sense for being intentional. Crew risking their lives u mean?
Why did the ship turn tho
BECAUSE THEY HAD NO POWER
What even happened
Why was the vessel not assisted by tugs until having reached the sea buoy?
So they called in but didn’t jump ship
Who filmed the TikTok clip very conveniently
China. Duh! They own TikTok!

I don't believe in coincidences
It was built in 1977. Apparently, it's an old-fashioned bridge not made like the newer ones. Also, that boat is 100k-200k tons. No bridge would stand up against that, especially an old, falling apart bridge like this one. It's not strange at all that this bridge fell with that much weight on a support beam.

I seen a car go into the water and I’m in wales uk!!
It's funny how there are so many boat experts all of a sudden in the comments 😅
Insurance claim to get a new bridge. This was intentional.
Biden says we're gonna build this bridge together (unlimited funds for this, he says). "We're gonna build this bridge together". What a c^nt that guy is
How do you know it’s intentional
@@Datguy198I don’t trust him. He still owes a man.
Find a hobby dude
A new bridge with bike lanes and train tracks, maybe?
WAIT...were there any motorist or pedestrians on the bridge or homeless people under the bridge during the collapse? We wouldn't know due to the media only showing interests in the Cargo Ship crew and what the neighbors think. It may be weeks before missing persons are associated with the Key Bridge Collapse.
Homeless people under the bridge??

Filling potholes at night????
Still a tragedy, think it happen to your family same 5 o 50000, loosing power should be a reason to crash must me invetigated
Ohh It will be Investigated. And like A Lot of Investigations the Results Will Be Fishy...
Rip to the workers who lives were lost! May your journey be peaceful on your way to outer space. So, maybe the name of that bridge should be changed.
It is clearly a cyber attack
I am 3
I don’t buy the ships “lost power” excuse. The video CLEARLY shows they lost power a split second or so before but why were they so close to the bridges pillars prior to that? Logic tells me I would loooooong before I cross the bridge I’ll keep it as close as center between 2 pillars to avoid such an “accident” . I call 100% premeditated by the ship. Not an accident.
Thank you so.much for your knowledge.
Now you should go take action and present your evidence in court.
Thank you sir.

Why didn't them people get off the bridge when other's we're stopping traffic
That's what I'm trying to figure out why the construction workers did not leave when the other vehicles was leaving the bridge
It's an ISIS attack. ISIS may have claimed the responsibility. Please check their posts.
Very quick to jump to conclusions, aren’t you?
@@martinvannostrand8488 I am also like US Intelligence who gives conclusion before an incident.
I want to share my thoughts on this. It is a tragedy that the bridge collapse in result of a boat hitting the bridge. Personally I don’t believe that they said the engine stopped. I think that the fault was cause by the person driving but of course that’s my opinion. My grievance is with Biden and the media on how they put this on the news immediately and covered it and called it a tragedy and Biden spoke on it hours after it happened. Biden did not do nothing for the Hawaii fires that offered a few months back. He busted the victims of that fire months after it happened and worst than that never spoke on it and did not sent aid. $400 is nothing. If I lived in Hawaii I would not vote for Biden but instead vote for Trump but of course this is my opinion. My mind is made up.
Trump 2024
Biden do not care about the American people
He cares more about illegal immigrants more than us.
MAGA all the way
Stfu 😂 your comment lost any credit once you brought the presidents into it
On the high side now all the corrupt officials and corrupt contractors dont have to act like vultures for the bridge demolition and re build… half the work is done… you guys should pay the boat company for their expeditious work😂😂😂😂😂..
Was this bridge already scheduled to be demolished? Or are you being a dumdum?
I thought that the 6 people were just missing
The water temperature would kill them even if they had a air pocket.
I am a rescue diver for the canadian coast guard.
@@MethosFilms Yeah, I think they said the temp. was around 48º.
Realistically, where do you think they went? Probably into the water, maybe?
@@karenharris722 in that temperature they want is divers to wear 5mm wetsuits at a minimum to not go into shock.

Baltimore is one of the busiest ports in the US. Cargo ships that transport products we all use every day, come in and out of this port. Things like coffee, sugar, salt, pepper and (McCormick) spices and other things like CARS, and CAR PARTS. So tomorrow morning when you drink coffee with sugar, put salt and spices in your breakfast food or your car breaks down and you can't get the part to fix it - then you will know why this Baltimore Bridge collapse is a national crisis!!! THANK YOU JOE BIDEN.
I know it's not the boat's doing but I still feel Dumb boat!"
they lost power! that's how planes go down too!
You both should stfu and not say what you think
I find it strange that in a time when inflation is high and we still have a supply chain crisis (post plandemic) that we have alot of coincidental infrastructure tragedies.just saying 🤔😱🤔
Don’t ask sleepy Joe for any money. Look at Hawaii.

If they had enough time to stop traffic from traveling on the Bridge, They had enough time to destroy the ship Before it hit the Bridge... Just Sayin'...
What?
This isn't some videogame they're not going to destroy a ship nor could they get the resources to respond like that in the time they had. 2 minutes after the mayday call the ship hit
10 year old ahh comment
It's a very sad and heartbreaking situation for all of the victims and their families. Biden will send emergency financial aid to help with the devastation. Here's the first step Biden: STOP THE FINANCIAL AID THAT IS "FREELY" BEING GIVEN TO THE IMMIGRANTS." PERIOD!!! RIP to all of the victims who lost their lives.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Literally. No. One. Believes. This. Was. An. "Accident". Nor does anyone believe that one bump of a ship knocks out whole entire bridge like that! Not possible. This. Was. No. Accident.
The ship was VERY heavy and going too fast at 9 mph. No way a bridge could withstand that kind of contact according to the officials on National news tonight.

This collision happened due to a lazy crew/captain, unconcerned with safety. They lost engine power as they were turning to go under the bridge, and began drifting towards the bridge support, powerless for around a minute and a half.
They were able to regain power, and instead of trying to abort the turn completely (which would've easily avoided the collision), they got greedy, and tried to finish the turn to go under the bridge, and not lose any time on their schedule. But they lost engine power AGAIN like 30 seconds after getting it back up and running, they were given a final push towards the bridge support, with no steering control. And then collided.
The cargo ship that caused the crash (the "Dali") has been in two previous collisions with similar conditions that could be easily avoided, given proper procedure. The people who crew this ship are NOT good people.
They more than likely knew their engines were faulty and unsafe, especially for such a huge vessel. And they chose to leave the port anyways.
Are you part of the investigation crew? Did you hire a PI to go investigate?
Local pilots navigate through the area correct?
Copying and pasting this doesn't make it true weeb
We will know for sure after the investigation is done.
Ships have redundancy systems but, sometimes even those fail, one of the problems is that when you loose power, main engine can still run for a minute or so, but the steering and bow thruster don't work. It takes about 30sec or so to get the emergency generator online to get steering, of course if no one forgot to put it in "standby mode", but the bow thruster still won't work, which would be critical in this situation, to attempt to steer away the bow to avoid the collision.
Back to the ME (main engine), it is connected directly to the prop shaft, no gearbox, no clutch, so during the blackout presuming ME was still running, that means ship was still pushing ahead, but no steering for at least 30 sec.. maybe they have tried to pull back and slow down, meaning main engine has to come to a complete stop and then start in reverse, again this takes some time, also just speculating the system did at least that, but who knows... even if it did, it will take a long time before it stops. The too much black smoke was strange, maybe was a generator that failed.
But the crew? I can only imagine how panicky the crew was running around like chickens with their heads cut off trying to get things back online. At least whoever called for mayday chose to do the right thing instead of trying to help get it back on course with the rest of the crew. The crew knows how dangerous it is in a situation like this in the harbor. Too bad about the 6 people lost. It is an absolute tragedy.
Damn
