Sympathy and condolences offered to the families of those lost in the bridge collapse.
Corporations should not be able to own homes without restrictions.
Especially foreign coroprations.
They do in Florida!
They should be able to own people with restrictions 😂
I'm anxious to hear the interview with the survivor who walked away.
He might not want to talk to anybody because of his immigration status or other reasons
Why? Why are you so anxious to hear about the tragedy ?
@MoonCricket-yr1xn 😂😂😂😂 lord - nothing about the tragedy, nor the nightmare of what they went threw. Where is the compassion for the family?
@@susannpatton2893 "Why? Why..." Why do care why he's anxious? Why why why.
Why it's it only black being sent back that all I hear they have th same right as othere
The housing problem across America is Zoning Boards interfering and stealing property rights of land owners. People should be able to build whatever type of home they can afford on their own property without all the regulations that steal their rights to do so. These various building control boards on towns and cities want to keep property values high, so they can get highest taxes against such property owners. Low income people, even if they own a lot or piece of land, are then denied the use of their land to put a smaller structure on. It is a form of government power denial of their ownership rights to their own properties.
Our haute politicians don't like anybody that's not living in a fancy house. Offering nothing to the penniless. No Empathy.
Exactly right!
Poor policies. Tugs should be used inside the port until in open sea.
The ship had electrical problems for days. Tugs don't solve maintenance issues. Laws need to be in place such that dangerous system failures are penalized. If you take tugs out on every container ship, that massively increases cost, when the ships can guide themselves just fine when they are maintained. Your idea doesn't even address the actual issue, is extremely costly, and when the ship ends up in the next port it will present the same dangers unless you want tugs to pull them in too. Why is it not more natural for you think, "Ships need to be properly maintained or there are legal consequences?" This feels obvious.
Seems like poor engineering, to me. They designed the bridge to handle the traffic loads and wind conditions, but did not consider other real-life situations. Those supporting columns were probably plenty strong under vertical compression, but were fragile under impact and instantly failed under side impact. I'm sure this was just an accident, but would point out that this type of construction is a big invitation to terrorist attacks.
Oh yeah? You spend a lot of time down by the docks? How many tugboats have you seen in the last 20 years. This is another old fart living in the past. Doesn't have a clue about how ships actually work in 2024.
As much as crapping on people online is fun when necessary, your comment is not correct. Tugs are more than common. It's just not a cost efficient way or helpful way to solve the problem. Ship technology hasn't changed a wink in 20 years, and tugs are as common as ever. I advise using resources like Gemini or ChatGPT if you have a hard time with googling for facts before dumping on people. Online, some people really deserve it. But today, it's actually you. Facts matter. Research matters. If you are going to be crappy, fine. But be right first. You are literally on the internet, and you can't be bothered to check if tugs are common. Whether someone spent time at the docks doesn't matter. The trend is for larger ships to be built, but for waterways to be more efficient. So it is nuanced, but larger ships trend toward a GREATER need for tugs, while in more efficient waterways they are less needed in harbor. I could cite my sources, but I at least looked it up. You are wrong, and definitely you are being a jerk. You can't be both. You should apologize to the person you insulted because of this. Good luck, sailor. @@dougkester8952
Great story about Steamboat's affordable housing battle, housing is a very important issue affecting everyone in the country! Stay safe NBC News reporters! Thank you NBC Nightly News for the video.
Still praying 🙏 for those missing highway workers and their families!!! 😢
Why weren’t the crew connected by radio? It’s a basic technology. OSHA should investigate the building company.
You can't afford a house or the rent here in Florida. Utility costs up, too. Social Security payments and Minimum Wage are both 50 years behind the current Cost Of Living. The math of both the government and the wealthy is faulty.
It was Biden's fault
....cannot afford ANYWHERE.....😮😢
Great comment. But you don't think after Ronna McDaniel and these corrupt 4th Estate actors hired a coup plotter that continuing to watch is a really really bad idea? No offense to Lester Holt or you, but returning to the trough right after the well is poisoned is outright asking to be abused. And if you are concerned with the wealthy in Florida, take it up with the madman Desantis, who is more interested in putting migrants on buses than helping you at all. Tug service for a container ship can range from $5,000 to $30,000 per session or more. So this is just a really really bad idea. Inefficient, doesn't require ships to be maintained, etc.
Money for wars, can't (won't) feed the poor. We spend Trillions, giving millions to billionaires...

My car falling into a body of water day or night but specially at night is one of my worst fears in the world. I’m so sorry for the families affected, this is a horrible tragedy.
YEP! I HATE Bridges every since I was in the Loma Prieta earthquake. I STILL won't stop under bridges in case of an earthquake

Why would that ship not immediately drop anchors
RIP to all lives lost to unfortunate events
It's so terrible, and it brings back memories of when our local I-35W bridge collapsed years ago. We dodged an awful and unbearable disaster; it could have been full of rush-hour traffic with city and school buses and a death toll in the thousands.
Thank you Lester and good night 🌃 NBC 🎉.

If the businesses want to do business, they need to provide living space for workers that is affordable.
That's exactly what corporate communism wants.
@@craigb8228 🙄
The american consumer should not pay more for corporations' lack of investment in their city
Who runs a big s##ship into a bridge
Invest in shipping operators that want run into a big a## bridge
Why would corporations want to invest in the cities they reside? Have you ever heard of a corporation doing something unrelated to its business - and pursuit of profits? That's one of the reasons governments exist, and taxes are paid: *infrastructure.* Other things that corporations don't do for the people are healthcare and education. Remember to vote for governments and lawmakers who remember what they are supposed to do.
Yeah, that's industries that depend on that bridge have been hoarding billions for decades. They could have replaced it a long time ago.
Who do the bridge belongs too? Obummer attempted infrastructure but was blocked by obstructionist Republicans in Congress
That's not the way that it works in the United States but it may as soon as the corporations run the country.
@@craigb8228 Delusional. That's EXACTLY how it works!
There needs to be a federal cap on rent and property values it’s gone insane. Price gouging
In Canada, they can’t raise the rent more than 3% a year. My rent has doubled here in South Florida. I blame Ron DeSantis. He could’ve put a cap on this ridiculously expensive rent that nobody but Trump can afford. I would move out of this state but I cannot save any money. The jobs here do not pay livable wage. And with the rent increase, the high cost of groceries, I’m literally living hand and mouth right now.
United States real estate is open for anybody to buy and that is rare in most countries. There should be a huge penalty for those foreigners that buy United States property.
Actually it's inflation caused by bidenomics and now 1.2 trillion dollar bill he just passed. Try to blame him and yourself for voting him in. Good day
@@craigb8228 - Sure, but it is ridiculous that a person has to go into massive debt for 30-40-50 years in order to purchase even a modest home, all the wile paying taxes on that home until they die.
@@WarHawk- if you're not an American citizen an added tax for US property would seem appropriate have you priced the real estate in Canada?
Why are we acting like the P Diddy situation isn't happening?
Just because they're rich they shouldn't be able to insulate themselves.

The democrats own the media duh
Actually, Barry Goldwater was the first Jewish person on the presidential ticket, which was in the 60's. How could the American media miss this?!
I guess they're making a distinction between one's genetics and one's faith. Goldwater was of Episcopalian faith.
"Hebrew people" are c7KBC Somali-Ethiopian migration lineage... Neither are "Jewish". They practice JUDAISM. That's a religion.
So sorry to hear about the racist remarks that the African American women on the Utah basketball team received. Hate has no place in this world. Everybody has the right to be treated equally and with respect. We stand with the players on this basketball team.❤❤
My heart breaks for those construction workers man, really fricking sad
Haiti got destroyed by that storm and then HRC's buddies came in and drained all the recovery funds, now we're like "Oh you need help? That's a shame"
I hope you remember how Trump treated the island people.
@@craigb8228 Throwing paper towels like a buffoon is hardly as damaging as when so-called non-profits misappropriate recovery funds.
Say her name! Say her name! HILARY FOR PRISON!
@@craigb8228 Throwing paper towels at people like a buffoon is hardly on the same level as misappropriating disaster recovery funds
Imagine getting paid millions to read a teleprompter for 30 minutes a day.
Steamboat Springs, when your workforce can't afford to live there, stores and restaurants are closing because they can't find workers. Your property values will tank, and you will get what you deserve.
Real estate in the United States is available to any Foreigner without a penalty.
grim how fast it crumbles 😢
I've been right all along. Tough times for the families affected.😢
nicely done. the rundown on the ship was very good.
Most people zoom in but I like how you guys left the construction crew in there. On the right side of the bridge you could see the flashing lights
Our Sympathy to those who lost their Lives in that Bridge accident.
For those in that Ski town, don't whine later when you can't find anyone who's not extremely wealthy to do anything for you. At nearly 2 million a house, that prices out most types of workers.
They'll truck in immigrants. Erect a slum in an inconspicuous area to house them and isolate them outside of business hours. Indentured servitude. They'll own nothing and be happy.

On a such a busy Port why the Bridge was not protected better?
Greed why spend money in their pocket they steal from the tax payers to revise or fix if it still standing
"Capitalism"...
Prayers for those people who are trying to buy a home to have a place to live.❤❤
If there's anything to take away from the bridge's collapse, one would think that six immigrant workers *losing their lives* while *fixing potholes* - to keep America on the move - would be an eye-opener for the _unsung_ good things they do for the country. Instead, public figures and their followers refer to them as "countries sending their worst to America."
Who cares if we're immigrants? That's irrelevant.
@@borg386 Correction: We are not discussing just "any" immigrant. The emphasis should be on asylum-seekers or migrants. And if you have failed to see the need for such an emphasis, you haven't been paying attention! Migrant workers are one of the most targeted groups for racist attacks and scapegoating for America's troubles at home. Contrary to your obliviousness, hateful Americans *care* whether they are migrant workers. The fact is that the U.S. economy will suffer if all migrant workers suddenly stop working! Maybe then, xenophobic Americans will realize how indispensable migrant workers are to the U.S. economy. Migrant workers had threatened Florida with a mass protest to stop working to assert their importance to its economy; however, they didn't end up making good on that threat. Perhaps that was a lost opportunity.
If we weren't a nation of shameless money grubers there would have been a tugboat escort and this would have easily been prevented.
How many tugboats per enormous cargo ship?
@@Cornpop-N-DaBoyz I worked in various positions on tugboats for 35 years and I have 0 doubt that just one tug with a line off the stern of the tug would have easily prevented this. Take a look at the 8 minute video of the ship before it hits the bridge. The ship is moving very slowly. If people on the bridge saw it coming they no doubt thought the ship would just stop on contact with the bridge. I bet they just stood and watched unawares of the danger.
@@johnwright291 interesting to know. I have no tugboat experience just know a fully loaded cargo ship isn't easy to stop. I live by the FL sunshine skyway. Similar accident happened years ago. Don't see tugboats they built buffers around all the supports
Buffers around the bridge supports would have stopped the ship. They considered installing buffers when the bridge was built, but they said it was too expensive. Typical Maryland government.
@@Cornpop-N-DaBoyz well I'm in the Seattle Tacoma area I'm quite certain that all west coast ports require Tugs to in similar situations. I worked on tugboats all my working life.
RIP to all victims ❤

The bridge collapsed under the weight of that huge ship, but no one knows the exact reason the accident happened. 😮😢😔
It happened because you didn't call out a Mayday sooner and get tugs to pull them out of the way.
Maybe God can shed some light on it.
How come they stop cars not to cross over the bridge but not informed the workers. I will be asking questions if it's my family.

It's bad in Idaho you'll hear it at the gas station too over there
I was at work within visual distance of the bridge. I'm aquaphobic, and long and high bridges have always freaked me out. Now that I've seen this on a bridge I traveled frequently, I'm feeling shaky about long bridges again. I'm from Southeast Baltimore, and Glen Burnie looks a lot farther away now.
Parents don't trust the education to actually teach your children. During the summer, spend a few days and make sure they are meeting or over achieving the bench marks they should be at. Teachers range from horrible to trying but overwhelmed.
That's one flimsy-looking bridge, almost as if it was made of popsicle sticks.
Not very big problem Leslie even we are here in Minnesota. It’s very hard to afford a home. Yes apartment for rent gets very expensive.
Was the brige safe anyway when last time it was inspected
Even brand new it wouldn't be able to take a cargo ship hit
Why didn't they open the bridge?
The ship blacked out, causing it to naturally be pulled towards the bridge's pylon with the river current.
It's not a draw bridge, it's very high above the Patapsco river and marine cargo ships easily travel under its span.
Why didn't the workers get notified in time? Look at 4:00 to 4:30. The boss didn't site any emergency protocols in place to protect workers.
Wow, I never thought I would hear Doctors and Nurses referred to as poor people.
I've been to a lot of states, it's a few I wouldn't go to and Idaho is one of them.
