Baltimore Key Bridge collapse: Dad of 3 who lived in Maryland for 19 years among the 6 presumed dead.

My grandmother said that the bridge is crazh
That last vehicle across the bridge was a TRUCK, not a car. Driven by the luckiest trucker on the east coast that night.
What! Luckiest? How?
The truck driver who passed over the cargo ship 1 minute before impact and made it safely, is probably shook 🙏
He was probably hauling ass!
I'm so happy to hear they were able to stop traffic in time!
Awful news and an innocent victims... Let the Angels guide their innocent souls to their place of permanent residence... R.I.P....
Yes, back to the void
🙏
NO red tapes, REBUILD the bridge is the first thing after taking care missing, wounded, and dead people. Show America's strength in this rebuild project... All talks are cheap, show the result.
how about having the shipping company and it's insurance carrier to pony up the cost of the rebuild as they are the ones responsible?....NO US Tax dollars should be used
What the pilots have to say..???
They, probably meaning "he" has certaily talked to the NTSB. We'll just have to wait for them to update the story.
Who are the 6 people missing? Workers? You’d think you could report on that.
There have been multiple reports about the six missing workers. My understanding private company hired by MDOT to repair pot holes on the bridge. They were all immigrants from Honduras and Guatemala. Primarily Spanish speaking. Most likely not monitoring shipping or emergency channels. Less than 2 minutes from "mayday " call to impact. Doesn't look like any LEO could have driven the distance to warn them and get back off the bridge
Such an awful accident.
Wait no cars were going across it?? Just 6 missing people?? It’s tragedy of course but I thought it would be WAY worse. I guess 1am sort of saved the situation
They closed the bridge to traffic just before it was hit. The 6 missing are maintenance workers who were on the bridge.
I still can't wrap my mind around this smh
A horrible tragedy. I am sure it wasn’t, but how quickly and easily it came down. Looks very flimsy. I hope nobody is in a rush for what is in those containers. Looks like 750-1,000 containers. 💵💵💵💵💵💵💵
This isn't that ships first accident. In 2016, Dali was involved in an accident at the port of Antwerp, Belgium after the ship hit a quay and sustained hull damage.
So the shipping company is paying for the new bridge right ? Right !?
it will probably be just like the case where you are rear ended by a beat up '89 Escort with missing hubcaps....despite a law requiring insurance, I bet they didn't have a current policy
I thought I saw cars but maybe they were just lights
May be fuel line of Aux engine or tank was not probably drained which. Made st by engine also failed to run continue and resulted shutdown
Causing black out,
While I was on vessel .had similar experience of all three aux engine failed to continue run causing black out. Luckily situations occured just after full away.
Interesting choice of bridge construction in a shipping lane
it was built in 1977, different world of technology now.
Interesting that the bridges in San Francisco Bay are all protected by fenders, and FSK bridge was not. When the FSK bridge is rebuilt, they should be required design features. The SF Bay Bridge was also hit by a cargo ship - and the fenders did what they were supposed to do. Also, having the tug boats escort the ships all the way out beyond bridge structures is a good low-tech way to keep something like this from happening again. Use 4 tugs instead of 2.
As to the Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg, he hasn't displayed the job skills necessary to perform well in this capacity. And to be fair, his prior job was mayor of South Bend. President Biden should replace him - maybe shift PB over to Health and Human Services or Office of General Services. While the the fender design was done right at the SF Bay Bridge, the entire project went 4 times over budget and suffered from immediate defects owing to poor government management. It also took 25 years. The original bridge was built in 4. Someone more competent needs to be at the helm for the FSK bridge project.
Thank you ABC News.
No tug boats in this harbor??
😢
Very sad news
Actually, i would be the AM, not the PM.
Wish they would have evacuated that poor construction crew 😢
Tofu bridge collapsing moment ........ very sad .
There were explosions
Why there were no Dolphins/Barge protection of the Bridge 's main base-supports..!?!
(Dolphin is lower structure which normally is thicker than the bridge 's pillars. Designed to cover/ guarding from hazardous in-coming large Ship, potentially of distracted Event.)
lowest bidder
Yeah we have those on 2 of our five major bridges and tunnels in Hampton roads they’re big structures out in the water that look like they’re supposed to guide a ship through like bumper cars but you can tell looking at them they would stop and maybe destroy if they’re going with any speed at all
It would be interesting to do computer or AI simulations with ship data vs structural integrity of the "dolphins". At this time maritime experts seem to think the mass x velocity of this ship would produce a level of force that dolphins would not have made a difference
It's amazing how quickly the conspiracy theories are born regarding this. smh 🤦♀️
So it was construction workers left on the bridge ? Because vehicles were still passing by 😢
And what of the numerous explosions before collapse?
There weren’t any you fabricating bot
@@MikeGoesBadaBoom nice try to muddy the waters pal, but people have eyes.
@@omnomni5922 show proof or you’re gonna find your personal information in public forums
It was prolly P Diddy...
It was made in Gina.
MAGA MAGA MAGA 😊
Highway bridge collapses seem to have become more frequent in recent years, which really shows how car dependence is killing us. Highway failures like this one are exactly why we need to build more public transport, walkable neighbourhoods, and cycling infrastructure. Good cities are designed so that driving is not the only viable option to go anywhere. This highway collapse is the perfect opportunity to increase and improve MARC regional rail service. It's time we provide better alternative transport options to driving.
Also, notice the news media bias! If this was a passenger rail bright that collapsed, the news media would either be silent or have no sympathy, and all rail service would be suspended indefinitely while repairs are uncertain. However, a highway collapses and everyone freaks out and demands answers, then the state and federal governments order a multi-billion dollar aid package to repair the highway immediately. So unfair how Americans hate all transport methods other than driving. Car culture needs to stop.
Public transport is full of riff raff
if a boat lost it's steering why is he trucking it down this river?
DEI
Define "trucking"?? The speed of travel was within port requirements. You simply cannot stop the forward momentum of this much mass in 2/3 of a mile. Experts are saying it would take up to 3 miles to come to full stop WITH full control of the ship
@@user-qs4yi9lb3i well if you can't steer there is no safe speed...... that's why a bridge is down. throw an anchor out?
Correct. They were up to speed allowed for the channel when they suddenly lost power including steering. They did drop an anchor. It is also speculated the plume of black smoke was an engine coming back on line and the attempt to put it in reverse. Check out the video from yesterday at what's going on with shipping channel. This maritime expert shows the real time tracking data from the port including time stamps and speed as well as when the tugs disengaged and anchor was dropped. He overlays it with the video. They lost power 2/3 of a mile from the bridge. I'm a visual learner and this 10 minute video was remarkable
I assume everyone has seen the harbor videos, that shows the ship being turned into the bridge intentionally. Obvious
It’s just interesting how they come to conclusion immediately that it wasn’t a terrorist attack or intentionally done by the crew ? Usually investigation take time
Because the preliminary data and facts are solid this was unintentional and accidental. The investigation will determine if crew reaction to the mechanical and electrical failures contributed to the ship going off course. And hopefully the can determine the primary initiating factor(s). Most maritime experts speculating "dirty fuel"
FIRE PETE BUTIGIEG!!!!!
All you need to know is the mandated onboard pilots dismissed the tugs 20 minutes before reaching the bridge. This is the act that allowed this to happen.
accident my ass , the upper support beams which would have prevented the collaspe had explosions at key points , steel doesnt explode when breaking apart.
There are absolutely sparks when beams that size get instantly ripped apart.
Go back to your conspiracy site.
there's no explosions, seriously, have you ever seen a firecracker go off? those make more " explosions " than are showed in this entire clip. There's a light at the top of the bridge ( so planes don't hit it. ) camera angle makes it a little funny I get it, the bridge starts twisting before you see the light, the lights on the left side are the flashing lights you normally see on bridges but you're probably not paying enough attention to remember. This was a 95,000 ton ship, it hit 1 of the most needed lower support structures, there was no way the the upper supports were going to hold this bridge w/o the lower support.
WE KNOW IT WAS GOVERNMENT ENGINEERED LOOK HERE NOT THERE
Prove it or expect to be doxxed
@@MikeGoesBadaBoom BLIND
My thought exactly. It just so happens to veer right into the main structure at the last minute but travels fine a whole hour before? And so now the cost of importing exporting goods are going to go up of course, but nooooo possible fowl Play here folks
@@rochelletaylor4558 EXACTLY THATS IF WE CAN GET OUR GOODS DID YOU SEE THE EXPLOSION BEFORE THE IMPACT
Black swan
There is a better video showing clearly the ship on WSJ and this is not a accident it look like intentionally done
So Manny, what exactly is your area of expertise and more importantly proof this was intentional? I would encourage you to check the channel what's going on with shipping. This maritime expert shows the actual tracking data from the port. He overlays it with the video from the port CCTV livestream. Pretty strong proof of accident. It would involve a significant amount of people to conspire to prove intentiality. I'm not a maritime expert but I do have a high level of critical thinking skills and ability to find sources of expertise and data to make informed judgment. I see a crew fighting with what available resources they had with a 100,000 ton ship to correct the issue. Unfortunately the mass x velocity created a force that was catastrophic
It was NO accident.
The ship was aimed at the weakest spot to cause the most devastation.
🎯
Also look at the video of the collapse you can also see sparks of light across the bridge almost like charges detonating at stress points. Hmmm..
Here we go. SMH.
Trying to gain subscribers with your comment.
When a bridge in my town got hit by a freight ship 40 years ago, people called them accidents.
Now everything is a freeking conspiracy.
.....maybe Eric Trump was the pilot and he did this as a distraction. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
@@thadlaskowski5316 No, you can’t. You can see lights on the bridge going out as the bridge collapses, and lights behind the bridge appear to blink as the bridge falls and the structure passes in front of them. Stop with the BS.
42 cars went in the river.
You meant 4,200, right?
Is the captain got arrested? I mean let say you drive Tesla and the power go off and get into accident and kill someone you will be in jail
WHAT WAS PETE BUTTIGIEG MADE FOR?? Like recent train derailments & aircraft incidents, these are NOT ACCIDENTS. These are caused by the lack of maintenance and inspections.
Is he supposed to do boat maintenance? This wasn’t the bridges fault you realize that right?
Music is disgusting and repulsive. It’s a tragedy, not a movie!
Are any of the ship's crew muslim? Just a Question we should be thinking about.
Was it one of Pete Buttigieg's racist bridges?
If the trans secretary, Gaypere isnt too busy shopping for kids, maybe he could visit the site before the end of the year. Maybe.
