- CCTV footage reveals the container ship which demolished the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore lost power moments before the fatal crash. Video taken as the ship approaches the bridge shows all lights on board go out, implying a total loss of power including to the engines. A short time later the lights came back on as a backup generator kicked in but the ship never regained engine power and was left adrift. In a last-ditch bid to avoid disaster, the crew dropped anchor to try and stop the vessel, and when that failed they sent out a mayday call allowing police to close the bridge to traffic and likely saving many lives. Six people are missing presumed dead in the wake of the crash, all of whom were maintenance workers fixing a pothole on the bridge at the time. #keybridge #maryland #baltimorebridge

🤦🏻♂️ I’m ex Royal Navy myself, so know how a total power failure can occur.
Big carriers should have tugs on Stby alongside, this is poor Harbour management, sorry.
Or was it terrorism. I think so.
@@DailyCorvid self inflicted fright. The kind when you jump at your own stupidity. Seriously, the design for bridge barrier was too expensive but even gates in skyrim have guards at them. Why no stationary tug boats at bridge let alone tug boat guide.
I understand crew was Indian. But were the captains/pilots Indian as well?? Why no one is talking about them ?
Yeahbi never thought of this . Where was the tugs ?
Did you just bring Skyrim into this? @@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo
Those poor people.
That bridge was not designed with big ship in mind
The ship has redundant hand-steering controls and ruddering........ They could have dropped anchor to the Stern, then had manpower use ruddering to steer about and completely avoid this even with no power. Instead they decide to head straight for a supporting column.
This was not an accident. Singapore company has a lot to answer for.
bro take off your tinfoil hat@@DailyCorvid
@DailyCorvid yk its been speculated by people who know boats in depth that they did drop anchor and that combined with the loss of power is what caused this, because of the anchor drop they ended up spinning out of current and right into the pillar
@@DailyCorvid they did drop anchor. Why are there no tug boats guiding the ship through the bridge?
@@UmmerFarooq-wx4yo they dropped the anchor then steered towards the column. I think they should have dropped anchor and then steered away from the column.
You can clearly see at the last second they have power because there is black smoke piling out the engine exhaust, showing that they did in fact steer into the column on purpose.
Ship lost power after power comes????? condolence for lost people family 🙏🇬🇧
Oh my goodness how dreadful.
My prayers go out to all the loved ones of the victims.
The construction crew filling pot holes in the bridge road had almost no chance with only slow moving construction vehicles to get off the bridge as the container ship was heading for the bridge.
If the bridge was closed after the mayday call then why were they still on that bridge?
@@danielleisrael The police closed the bridge a couple of minutes after the Mayday, the bridge crew wasn't in radio contact with the police and didn't know what was happening and only had minutes.
How does a container ship, moving at speed in a straight line, suddenly make a sharp turn to the left. Even if the power failed, the weight of that container ship, would still steer it in a straight line for quite some time, it wouldn't suddenly make a sharp turn, it doesn't add up.
They dropped the anchor
Also, the power is on briefly before it goes out again.
Maybe from dropping anchor
Nonsense.. That is exactly what it would do .. the boat lost power, it’s momentum made it impossible to stop..they dropped anchor to try and prevent further drifting and engaged the reverse thrusters .. It was an unfortunate accident .. those in charge of the boat did everything they could in an impossible situation.. The fault lays with allowing a boat with know faulty power issues back out to sea.
They say it has no power but the lights come on and they still say it had no power. How can lights work with no power and it aimed straight for it that does not look like a accident
Tragic,but honestly,that bridge should've had more support,then what it did.
They steered the ship into the main supporting column on purpose. They could have dropped anchor and ruddered around on manpower only, why didn't they? No instead the Navi decides it was better to head directly for a support structure. Singapore operated vessel as well....
Not enough protection for the bridge with so little margin of error
Literally no bridge in the world is designed to take the impact of a 100,000 ton ship into it's support.
@Daimo83 there were plenty of things that could of been done its just an old bridge
Silly
@@Daimo83dolphin can withstand that
Surprised the ship didn't have tugboats with it. For this kind of emergency.
Surprisingly just few minutes before the hit, not a single vehicle crossed the bridge 😮
Was it made with toothpicks??
Agree,not enough of a support structure at all..if so the whole thing would had not collapsed
@@moonchild2020 Cantilevers rely on balanced load: if you remove a span from one side of a support, the other side becomes too heavy. If you look at pictures of such bridges being constructed, you'll see they build out evenly from both sides of each support, until the sections meet.
The ship was from a Singapore company operated by employees from _that region_ whom shall never be named. They could have just dropped anchor and ruddered sideways to avoid the bridge completely. Instead you can see them physically steering INTO a supporting column of the bridge. This was no accident.
@@DailyCorvidor they could have just made a mistake trying to steer clear. Sometimes accidents don't really happen the way it's visually interpreted.
Why the name of the captain/pilots coming out? Were the Chinese, Singaporean or Indian
..am I only one, who see this? It seems that ship was steered DIRECTLY on that beam
No but people who say things like it was terrorism have comments removed. I have made 8 comments suggesting this was done by design, and they all disappeared virtually immediately.
Here again spreading misinformation 😂
Or they might have tried to steer clear but they got it wrong or steering was affected by some fault. I tried to steer clear of a fox once but steered right into its path.
Yes you're the only one who sees it. There is no one else examining the footage with a higher qualification than you. Please finish your analysis and share your findings. Godspeed.
Looks like it turned 30 or 40 degrees. Why you angry at observations? I gasped when I saw this.@@tomk427
RIP to those lost
Who was steering UNCLE ALBERT? looks like a clip from only Fools And Horses
When a ship loses power it looses all streering so there was litterally nothing they could do to affect the ships movement until the backup generator kicked in.
An American harbour pilot had command of the ship at the time of collision.
All the armchair experts out in force in the comments as usual 😂
So many tin foil hats in the comments
You can plainly see the ship aiming toward the pylon - under power. It turns about 30 or 40 degrees.
Cummon........! The ship lost electrical power for seconds before the collision. It was already headed for disaster before the power loss. Excuses!!
The video is has been sped up
The said, the electrical power was off about a minute, before the emergency generators kicked in.@@deanlaunder4133
Totally designed, not an accident.
perhaps the loss of propulsion/ momentum (very important for maneuverability in tight spaces such as this) caused the ship to drift uncontrollably into the bridge. They were trying to fire up the diesel generators to restore electrical power to the ship, i wonder if they tried to compensate by using manual steering systems or if they just didn't have time to.
Rip Balitimore Bridge 1972/77-2024
what if this had happened during rush hour with all six lanes full of traffic???
They informed authorities and the authorities were able to stop vehicles gaining access to the bridge, doesn’t mean a thing for the unfortunate people not accounted for so far though
6 lanes is crazy for a bridge
But it didn't
If the crew hadn't called mayday, there would have likely been many more casualties
Could it be, that the bridge was faulty and repair bill too expensive? That they set this up, just asking for a friend 🤨
So now instead of having to spend $1b on repairs, for example, they now have to spend $20b on rebuilding an entire bridge? What sort of logic are you suggesting they used?
20 billion to build a bridge - no wonder America is trillions in out of control debt!
@@connoc5078 I was suggesting, or atleast trying to. Is that maybe it was done on purpose to claim insurance. Or maybe I’m miles off.
@@gwauk205 It was just an example price. I don't know how much this particular bridge would cost to completely rebuild but it's a lot more than it would take to repair or improve.
Hello Ironman?
We need your help.
We need STARK technologies & the Avenger's assistance now.
😢
About 3 seconds from last car to bridge collapse
Videos sped up but I wonder if the people inbthat car realise how lucky they are
Is it just me who thinks that bridge aint designed for big ships?
Yes.
The fault here was with the vessel not the bridge. That bridge has lasted since 1972 and has seen 4 collisions.
For this to happen, requires planning. This was planned in my opinion. Look to the planning of the vessel, by a company called "Synergy".
I am surprised the US don't blame China for manufacturing all those shipping containers and goods on the ship. 😂😂
Instead it's idiots who don't know the first thing about boats, bridges, or this situation blaming it on DEI lmao. What a bunch of clowns
Bad luck
It's quite pathetic
And if you look they steerd the ship in to the bridge it was heading straight speed it up and your see
Orrrrr, if you have some brain cells and pay attention, you will see when the ship lost all power (INDICTED BY THE LIGHTS ALL GOING OFF), the ship moved by itself since with no power = no way to control ship. You see the lights come on briefly, which is a backup generator but by then, it was too late, the ship was going too fast and with no way to control it, they lowered the anchor and called mayday
I know you’ve all seen the Netflix series where the boats and planes “lose power”. It’s happening under your noses.
How is vehicles losing power happening under our noses when we know about them?
@@connoc5078 as in, what happens in the film is happening under our noses. Most of the comments think this was an accident, same people will say the earths flat and the government care about us.
This was NOT an accident
The ship truned directly into the bridge.
Of course it did 🙄
@@Sam_5.56 did you not watch the video?
Russia was behind it
it lost power, when you lose power you lose the ability to direct the ship
@@daddistroyer5657it’s called perspective
Yeah Yeah, Whatever !
Hi, I hope it's okay to ask, could you please add a warning for the flashing lights in this video please? Thank you so much. Rest in peace to those who have died
Total humiliation for the usa.
Not really. They'll have this fixed in no time.
I know you third world wannabes will get excited 😅
Biden promises to move earth and heaven to get it done in no time
Do you think they're so humiliated they'll stop calling it the World Series now?
Where is the camera? Looking at angles, challenging but jus about possible cannot reconcile location of camera? And so fortunate that it had a front row seat??? Suspicious
😂 get a grip.
And so it begins@@OldDryEye
yeah it's hard to imagine anyone carrying a camera in their pocket...
At least one of the coverages I've seen said it was a permanent camera belonging to the transport authority or similar.
FJB
😮 Giiizzz!
The captain was too Busy asking for Bob and Vegene on Tinder
😂😂😂😂
If this is real footage then that hit was deliberate.
Here come the conspiracy theorists.
@@markotoole7937 Sometimes conspiracy theories are right, deal with it.
Correct. But watching that video and thinking you know it was deliberate is the thought process of a simpleton. @@user-bk9fk2tq2z
@@user-bk9fk2tq2z And in this case there is literally nothing to suggest they *are* right.
That’s two ship that took down bridges in the last 2 months, it happened in china also .
Seems like it’s some sort of Masonic landmark
Bad constructors, they had placed a concrete island under the water surface to protect the pilars. hahahahahaha, ow ow ow...ask me next time for tips.
Poorly made bridge. Only if the USA invested properly in their own country
It was well enough made - 50 years ago! Ship sizes have grown somewhat since then …
Hmmmmm
Omg
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂
Who put the blind man on the ship’s rudder . Sad and totally dumb . My Uncle Norman never mentioned the HMS Belfast or HMS Ark Royal ever losing ALL power during his 24 years in the RN .
They have/had conventional engines. Some of these huge ships have electric engines - or, even if not, the _controls_ will be electric/electronic (and probably fail to off).
😂😂😂👍👍
😂😂😂
Well this is literally all governments fault, firstly, no protection at all around the bridge?!?! Second, where tf are the tug boats, I know in Italy where my family are even for smaller ships they have tug or guide boats until they have left safely. Thirdly, HOW IS THE SHIP PITCH BLACK IF YOU ARE JUST LEAVING THE DOCKS?!?! Add that all up n it just shows how manipulative the GOV are. Wake up.
Watch it again! It's well enough lit until the power fails.

When you wish you got the better insurance policy…. Wow. Thats probably like 1000x more than the top end 🏆🥇
Lol people are so naive!
_'It was an accident!'_
SUSPICIOUS.... Something doesn't add up about this 🤔
What are you thinking? Jewish Space Laser?
Hacked the control Meybi
Paid actors
@spud95128 I wouldn't be surprised, anything is possible with those evil maniacs 🤷♂️
And what CIA money offices were in the bridge exactly?
Pilot by all Indian crew...somebody must have screw up pressing the wrong switches
Captain is Ukrainian.
Flipping Pajeets crashed it
Those poor people.
