Kind of disgusted by the questions to Carlos near the end. Why is the first question to a guy who just lost his brother to a tragic accident "When you talked to him on Sunday, did you think that was going to be the last time you would ever see him?" What kind of stupid question is that? It didn't further anything and just upset the interviewee. Then we hear what he said second hand from the reporters? Wtf?
Accident 😂😂😂
Fake News for you
Agreed! Several of the reporters showed an appalling lack of humanity with the questions and topics they chose to cover. Also asking "What should we take away from the fact that those presumed dead were immigrants?" What???? What is that even supposed to mean? Truly unbelievable. I hope the script writers and interviewers receive the backlash they deserve for this, because honestly they should be fired.
Ain't no such as stupid question. Maybe be millions of people wants to know what Carlos has to say. Don't hate.
@@rasadams9034Your brain needs maintenance sir.🧠=🔧
This could be anyone of our family members at anytime, and we should treat it as such. Being respectful with the comments towards them, and sending love
The News should be much more respectfull !!!
I agree
Well said. My heart goes out to everyone who lost their lives their families and to all the survivor's as well ❤
I’m so sorry for the loss of these men who were hard working citizens. I want their families to know that I can’t imagine what they are going through and I send love and prayers to them.
“Citizens”?
They weren’t citizens, it’s a chance you take when you come to America to work. I have friends that have passed from just doing their jobs in freak accidents. Sad to say but you never know when your last days are
Im so sorry for the ignorant responses to your heartfelt comment. Knowing the US citizenship status of the workers is not needed to feel compassion for them and their families. They were citizens of somewhere, as are we all.
@@citrusbloom7504they were working for the government, the government wouldn't hire them if they didn't have work visas at a minimum.
@@garrettkitchens4966you don’t know if they were citizens or not. Regardless they are human and we’re trying to earn a decent living. They deserve respect. Your comment is truly disgusting & not needed during a time like this. Be mindful & careful of the things you say because you can easily be put in a similar or worse situation. One thing about them tables is, they always turn.
Prayers to the Families who lost Loved ones in the disaster.
I Retired at the end of 2022 after 50 years working at almost every port facility in Baltimore, When the Key Bridge was built in the mid 70's ships were nowhere near the size they are now. Ships with automobiles were still bulk carriers using ships gear to lift cars out of the holds one at a time and place them dockside to be driven away. I was there! Containers were new and pure container ships were not yet in service. Ships now are many times the size they were then.
Put large dolphins like Tampa FL and use safety tugs. This should of never happened!
The channel Professor Nez covers this in detail, you may want to watch it. Still I just cant understand why the ship wasn’t positioned more to the center. It just seem logical to allow the most possible space to clear. It looks very sloppy to me that it was way off to the side.
It still should have been retrofitted to prevent a repeat of the 1980 Skyway Bridge collapse in Florida. It's almost like 40 years of Reaganomics that cut taxes to the rich and overspent on things like the military while underfunding infrastructure maintenance and upgrades (among other things) caught up with us. I blame Reagan for beginning our decline in so many areas but I blame 99% of all politicians since for taking advantage 9f the situation and not being motivated to fix it.
Now you know what greed looks like
@@dirtyfrench2926. Oh please.
I hate to be " that person" but if not for the actions of the crew and police officers giving warning...it could have been way more devastating
They all did what they could and seriously minimized the casualties. I agree.
You’re absolutely right
Someone had to say it
I hate to say it but I think we should keep an open mind. I heard an experienced maritimer explain that the pilot could have reversed engine and depending on the rotation of the propeller reversing the engine could have exasperated the situation. I hope it’s not the case but I could see this being the case possibly.
@@michaelmeredith912 the engine was off. The black smoke you saw was the generator firing up for the APU after the main engine failed. At that point, there’s no steering the vessel.
All those who are mourning the lost of family members, work colleagues, and friends of this tragedy accident will remain in my prayers. Thinking of and praying also for the many other effected like first responders, crew members, pilot and local residents. love from Australia ♥
talking to your imaginary friend does what?
God bless the workers who died in this tragedy and prayers for their families and children. I hope they can be found before work begins so that their loved ones can find closure. 😢

So tragic..prayers for all the families
I’m so sorry to all the families who lost loved ones. I appreciate all the hard work that they were doing and I know that they were good people. My heart breaks for the man who lost his brother and now has the grim task of telling his niece that her daddy has passed away. I’m sending love and prayers. Please know that we will never forget them.
My heart goes out to the families. Truly a terrifying event. Is the shipping company from Singapore liable? Stop ignoring this question. They should pay those families, the ship had a history of mechanical issues it is reported. These families will be grief stricken and unable to function, they will need help.
I'm sure that there will be many lawsuits.
not it's first accident either.
Don't start trial by innuendo.
Nobody is ignoring this question. The legal proceedings will be long and fraught with difficulty, without a doubt, but they _haven't even begun yet._ This isn't an episode of _Hawaii Five-0_ in which all questions are answered in an hour, you know. At least one country other than the US is involved, namely Singapore, where the company that owns the _Dali_ and the company that manages her are both headquartered. Whether Maersk (Denmark), the company that charters her or Hyundai Heavy Industries (South Korea), the shipbuilder will figure in the proceedings I don't know. It will not end soon - and I doubt that it will even begin for a while.
How can a lawsuit be brought forth before full investigation is finished…? The Singapore company will, as the US will, need a reason and proof to show in court.
Man I will never look at ships and bridges the same again😮
How did you look at them before?! 😂😂
@@user-go8vi5lb6u the bridge is not the problem, the security around it. Most bridges have something called Dolphins which ensures that if something like this happens it never gets to the bridge. Youll be surprised how often ships hit the dolphins due to current etc... its very common

My heart hurts for those families.
So sad for the families of the victims and the people of Maryland. Prayers from the 🇵🇭.
Great report from Camilo on the immigrant workers to the US, their contribution to the US infrastructure and economy and the often perilous working conditions they are subjected to putting their lives at risk. Please keep the victims and their families who sadly are all immigrants visible and at the centre of this tragedy - as you are Camilo. Bravo to CBS news for bringing their stories to light.
So your point….American citizens who die on the job due to accidents are not worthy of recognition ?Seriously, check your brain…most ridiculous mindset.
Wow that person who couldn’t swim but survived…Amazing!!!! That was God 🙏🏾 My heart truly goes out to him, the guys who lost their lives & their loved ones. I also cannot swim so I couldn’t even imagine going through such a traumatic & horrifying experience. I seriously hope the remaining survivor gets counseling. He’s definitely gonna need it 🕊️🙏🏾🕊️
It’s likely all those guys were required to wear life vests along with their usual PPE, but still a miracle he survived. I wonder if there was a communication gap in that authorities got traffic stopped but failed to evacuate the repair crew. My sincere condolences to the families of those lost.
And what was God doing about those who didn't survive?
@@mikekopp9542i was wondering the same.
I’m always curious about why a loving God is so apparently cruel to some and a miracle savior to others. People should always believe what they feel is real and god bless them. But the hell and damnation is quite terrifying for the believers of that particular version of God. Tell me how a loving God is capable of such divine cruelty. Please spare me the same old nonsense about working in mysterious ways. That’s a fairy tale for the weak minded and foolish masses that have an unnatural fear of death. If it does actually calm their fears, that’s a mysterious way for sure. I’m not a hypocrite, blasphemer or pals with Satan. But I have a God given brain that finds it difficult to believe the biblical fantasies about parting seas, burning bushes that speak, water into wine, virginal birth …I hope that is enough. Now is not a good time to discuss the Catholic tradition of priests raping little boys and all is forgiven with a few Hail Marys. The biggest lie of them all, for Christ sake, Amen ☝️. It’s simply another version of the ultimate lie told in another fairy tale. I have spoken my God given right to think and speak.
In the sped-up footage of the incident, you can see that the ship's stern swung round rather sharply to port before it struck the bridge. What kind of manoeuvre was that? The ship had lost power; so what was going on?
Yet, you didn't show the new 🤬 video
Should have an alert warning system where the whole bridge sets off flashing lights to rush off in event of emergency.
They do. They have green and red lights. They used them and that’s why more cars didn’t fall.
To all the souls they lost. And 5o the families friends and nothers who are in grier
@@brandon.4451 referring to how to avoid deaths of personnel on a bridge - they should have better alert systems to help notify even during a lunch break…
That's in future. Maybe in 2034.

Can someone explain why ships sailing through such a narrow place did not have pilots and tugboats to insure the passage.
They did have US pilot who couldn’t steer a boat that has lost power.
Tugs position it in the channel. The usually leave after that. 99% of the time ships don't lose power. 100s of ships pass under bridges every day
Two pilots on board.

Reports coming out of the Port that the ship had massive electrical issues and was losing power 2 days before the accident.
It truly hurt my heart that one of the victims said "he feels like they aren't worrying about those that were loss".. 😢 😢 😢 😔 😔😭 😭
One suggestion I would make for all bridges that have large boats traveling beneath them is to put red lights on the bridges and enable them to flash and sound alarms so that if there are people on the bridge and a mayday is called, these two things can be universal language to any one that happens to be on a bridge to vacate it immediately. This would at least give them a fighting chance. 🕊️🙏🏻💔 Prayers are with these families and with the clean up crews who will be putting their lives on the line to clear the port and bring these fallen men back home to their families as well as make it back home safely to theirs.
lights make things targets that is why people drive into emergency trucks and in front of trains
What would lights do when the ship lost steering? If you can't steer the ship it's going to hit, lights or no lights. Lights would have done NOTHING in this case.
Won't help when it was deliberate terrorism in the first place. Which it was.
@@sharleneblock4888 the workers were already on the bridge and not driving across it as others were. When the mayday was called, a traffic light stopped more from getting onto the bridge allowing the traffic that was already on it to clear it except for these workers who were working. If there had also been lights and alarms on the bridge that sounded when The mayday was called (or when they stopped other traffic) then just as the traffic light prevented others from driving onto the bridge these things would have alerted the workers and anyone else who hadn’t cleared it to get off of it now & at least give them a better chance of survival. These poor guys didn’t know what hit them. They never saw it coming because they were on the bridge already when the traffic lights stopped other traffic and had no way of knowing there had even been a mayday called. This is also why at first they weren’t certain that everyone had cleared the bridge before it fell- anyone could’ve slowed down or come to a stop for whatever reason while crossing the bridge (as there were some on the bridge driving over it that had no idea others were stopped from entering it because they had entered it before the lights came on that stopped others). And No, if it was deliberate and no mayday sounded, then none of these things will help. But if there is one sounded as it was in this case then alarms and flashing lights on the bridge too in addition to traffic lights will absolutely help clear a bridge better than just a traffic light before you enter the bridge.
@@jhonditch4269 I was unaware of this. In fact I understand the lights to be there to alert people that they are there as a caution to watch for them.
Probably going to be a Netflix documentary made about this
What a tragedy that this happen. My condolences to each family, I'm so sorry.
Our deepest condolences and prayers to all the families at this difficult time
I wished bigger stronger barricades had been placed ahead of the supporting columns. Perhaps avoiding a disaster like this. Ik, ik this is unimaginable but it did happen.
They will but never until something like this happens. Same thing in fla with the bridge in Tampa
That Ship had several things against it . Huge , takes awhile to stop Current, going down river a boat will need extra power to get a response. Timing , the Blackout happened as they applied power to head at opening. As it lost power , it turned slowly and hit piling dead on. Had they put full Forward, it may have steered enough to scrape one side but a ship follows the bow. Tugs would not have done much more than make bubbles. Line up some barges to guide through the new bridge , make a park on each one for each person lost .
It should have been mandatory that tugs assist a ship that size out away from eny thing it can hit or have local pilot on board 🙏 prayers for victims the pilots and crew god bless that simi truck driver and 2 or 3 car that made it past seconds before that tragic accident
My heart ♥️ goes out to the families & friends of all those men who tragically lost their lives. Prayers for those men & families. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I don’t understand how the ship hit 1 pillar and it crumbled like jenga. The whole dang thing
If the final investigation concludes that the power loss is a pure accident that can’t be anticipated or foreseen rather than any human errors, intentional negligence or malice, then the Captain of the ship is a hero, and he must be recognized. He saved more than hundreds of lives. It’s about how you confront challenges in adversity. The captain did his best to minimize casualties.
A pure accident is the bird's flying into the plane that landed on the Hudson. The failure of one or several key components leading to total loss of control is either flawed design or lack of proper inspection/ maintenance.
@@geelangfordo3272one of the suspects I've seen is contaminated fuel - if a fuel line got clogged and starved the engine/generator of fuel, that would be an accident
@@geelangfordo3272 what about natural wear and tear?
@@geelangfordo3272 I completely agree with you. Any design flaws or failures in maintenance is human error and is something that can be prevented, avoided, and remedied. Those are very different from a pure accident like a bird strike, as you said.
@@simondeng4724 Proper inspection and timely replacing of worn parts its vital to countering wear and tear. The shipping industry makes a fortune putting these giant vessels out to sea it's their job and the job of government overseers to make sure they are safe and in good working order.
My heart goes to the victims of this tragedy, but wouldn't it be amazing if they gave this long, detailed type of coverage to school shooting survivors, the families of the victims, etc.? A bridge accident kills 6, and I get to know them, their families, and friends. Someone massacres 17 students, or how ever many, and it's just a few hours of thoughts and prayers and on to the next. What would happen if we had those shootings covered like this?
Such a tragic accident. Prayers for the survivors and families of the lost. So sad 😢
It is sad to lose innocent people😢😢😢😢
"It's hazardous msterial but it poses no danger to anyone" Mmmhmmm, sure it doesn't
That military guy with all the badges on his chest talking about the hazardous chemicals "that are not a threat we think he's pulling a con job on the public
you can see pretty clearly that there are only a few damaged containers - anything not in the front row, even if it was dangerous, is going to leak.
they add hazardous material to water every day chloride and fluoride
RIP. That mayday mayday call gave us just enough time (2 minutes) to close the bridge before the accident. We should thank God for that . Just saying, it could have been much worse.
To the family I’m so so sorry for your loss 😢
My deepest sympathies and prayers to the families and friends of the six missing men. I pray they are soon able to get these poor men out of the water so their families are able to get closure. 😢❤️🙏
Yes I had a foreign car. Don't come for me. But I remember when my 1986 Toyota Celica GTS, docked in Baltimore from Japan. That car lasted me 12 years and I never had to replace the brakes. Try that now with 156,000 miles.
That means nothing...
Is this a joke ! ...12 to 24 months for NTSB to investigate ...unsane !!!!
That's because they have to record every piece of evidence.
I think the investigations are dragged out to ensure more news coverage.
@@user-ne7zi3ym3b You're clearly very much NOT thinking, then.
@@Mondoblasto0I think it’s fair to take the appropriate amount of time to ensure the current leaders have sailed on down river by the time anyone finds them to be ultimately at fault.
It's for the insurance company. They want to look for any loophole to not pay.

This is such a terrible tragedy. To all the families that are involved, please God help them. This is so sad.
Why tf is it always hazardous things that fall into the ocean.
Steel??
It's a numbers thing. Any massive ship will have a certain amount of hazardous material. This ship carried an _enormous_ amount of cargo.
Thinking the same thing.
@@arnolddavis-cu7nh apparently there were toxins in those containers.
@@lovesdogs8616 na man this is getting too suspicious. Too many accidents have happened that resulted in toxin contamination.
How did the workers on the bridge not see/hear the ship heading for the bridge and scramble the hell off ????...And, why are we not seeing the footage from on the bridge of the collision??
They could probably not hear the ship approaching. Simply seeing it in your periphery and not expecting it to be anything out of the ordinary unless the ship was sounding its horns would give them no clue. If they ever found out before the impact it was probably much less than the two-three minute warning the captain managed to send out. It might have been that they realized it just before impact or not even at all. In such a short time frame, and not having direct phone access to the crew on the bridge there was simply not enough time. I was witness to a near collision almost thirty years ago where a large (but not huge) ship was towed away for scrapping and the tugboat was going way too fast and when corrected for the bridge the ship in tow swung out and headed for the one of the bridge columns, which were also unprotected. I saw it about 500 m out and we were a large group of people sunbathing on a floating dock. The tug went from side to side trying to save the bridge, the tow line snapped off and flew onto shore - it would have killed anyone in the path but luckily there was no foot path at that particual part of the shore line so the tow line crashed into the woods. We watched in disbelief as the ship, no longer under tow and not having working engines, was heading towards a support column of Västerbron, the largest bridge in Stockholm, Sweden. The tugboat ended up ramming the ship two or three times to get it onto the shore line, just 150 to 200 m from where we all had been (we evacuated way before that though). I am not sure if the collision would have taken out the bridge (Västerbron) but at that speed and that mass/momentum there would be structural damage for sure and a costly repair and the bridge would probably have to be shut down during assessment and repairs. Seeing that I absolutely can understand that there was practically nothing that they could do under those circumstances; a MUCH larger ship with no tow and engines/electrical failure. That momentum is nothing you can do much about.
They were working 0.6 miles from the nearest land end of the span.
My heart goes out to those family and friends who lost there lives in this tragic event
Anyone else see how the boat turns into the bridge before hitting it?
Yes, its stern swung to port quite sharply. I don't know why that happened. That's something for the investigators.
Doesn't make sense that the vessel would have been Traveling that closely To the structures to begin with. Doesn't track That all vehicle traffic was able to be stopped in a timely manner. This story is sincerely weird. It feels like an old school video game where you're asking us just to not notice the parts that don't match or aren't there or we can't go.
The ship _has_ to go under the bridge to get to the ocean. Why does it not track that all vehicle traffic was stopped quickly? There's a Port Transit Authority Building right next to the bridge, and Port Transit police units are stationed at either end of the bridge. Once dispatch relayed the situation, all they had to do was pull across the lanes with lights and sirens on. There are also multiple large electronic billboard signs that can display messages such as 'BRIDGE CLOSED' to drivers. Why not just look at a map of the area and try to understand?
Your lack of education does NOT change the complexity of the world around you.
Because video games...
I’ve crossed that bridge many times and this is my worst nightmare to be on a bridge when it collapsed, it’s terrifying.
20 minutes of adding nothing of substance. Don't waste your time on this.
This is so incredible this is the name of my first elementary School Francis Scott I cannot believe😮
12 to 24 months for the investigation ? What a scam
i dont know any bridge with no camera at each entrace recording who enter they knew who was there from the begining
I really have a problem with the Latino correspondent, reporter, mentioning the Latino and Chinese immigrants and what they have done in helping to build and sustain the infrastructure of the country but mentioning the “backbreaking work” carried out by African Americans as some sort of small footnote in American history. Sir, this backbreaking work was known as slavery and please don’t devalue its contribution to the building of this country.
shut up.
They're doing an amazing job of hiding the navigating captain of that ship. I haven't saw a picture or a video of him being rescued from the ship yet.
They're all still on the ship I believe. The fault will fall on Baltimore's 2 pilots that were on the boat but probably not much anyone could do if they lost power and couldn't steer..
That is because the Captain is still on the ship, with the crew and the NTSB investigation team.
The pilots were navigating at the time of the accident. Why are you entitled to information about the captain?
That captain is the one person ultimately responsible for the ship being, as they say, in all regards ready for sea. Both him and the ships management have blood on their hands
What "new video " were they talking about? It's just the same thing that they have been showing. 😮
I can't but help think that if there wasn't anything at all that could have been done to warn those poor construction workers that they had to get off the bridge and at least give them a fighting chance.
Less than two minutes to call them in their cars.
@@moggpiano8043Some say it was only 90 seconds. It takes minutes to vacate the bridge..
12 - 24 months.... what a joke

My condolences to the family's that lost loved ones in this tragedy 💔
The first sign of trouble, occurs when you're not expecting trouble
SO, WHY didn't the bridge workers have the favor of getting a "heads up mayday" like the people on the ground did??? Hey, but wait a minute - the ship sounded an alarm. BUT how would the workers have figured it was an alarm about an impending hit instead of merely an emergency type alarm for the benefit of all those aboard the ship???
Why are you people so damn slow? Lets see. You stop all traffic from entering the bridge.... the bridge becomes vacant... when the vehicles all drive off. How effing hard is that to understand?
They said port authority next to bridge only had two minutes notice. No way contact workers on bridge in two minutes unfortunately.
@@Joey3pawsThat is another item for study. A number of work places I have worked in have Radio links specifically for that purpose.
@@allangibson8494 but a radio link to whom? At that time of day and with the whole crew in the same spot on bridge …. In two min how would port authority find number to road crew or boss to call anyone who might have a radio to crew on bridge? Just happened too quick sadly.
@@Joey3paws Give everyone on the crew a two way radio. Or simply text their phones (this isn’t an area where mobile phones are banned).

Immigration should be set aside because these were humans.. hard working people who have now perished leaving loved ones behind.
It should be set aside, because they were actually working official jobs on behalf of the authority or the city filling potholes. Of course, they would have had to been vetted.
This accident could had been avoided had the US authorities had installed concrete barriers in front of the bridge's foundations to prevent ships from hitting it, like they do today when they build a new bridge.
not really considering that the ship had cargo that was outbound combined with 1.5 million gallons of fuel for the cross ocean voyage as a result the bridge support was done for either way
@@KILLKING110definitely not. Those bridge pylon barriers are struck by ships all the time and the supports are perfectly fine.
That cargo ship is almost the size of an AIRCRAFT CARRIER. The bridge supports couldn't stop or deflect a direct hit from that much mass. Fenders, rock walls, or other protection simply wouldn't have been able to prevent this disaster. What could help? Tug boats guiding ships completely outside the port and bridge area.
No. Several experts have said that that massive amount of force would have destroyed any bridge
while may help a 95,0000-ton ship moving at 8 knots does take a lot to stop.
That's so heartbreaking to know that one of the missing victim's daughter still thinks he's at work 5 days later (when i watched this vid). She doesn't know he may be deceased. 😢
Her mother doesn't know what to tell her. What _do_ you tell a child when you just don't know what has become of her father? You can't just tell her that he's probably dead. Once her father's status has been ascertained, she can be told about it - but his status is unknown just now.
@mosseisleyYT true true. It's just sad because if he is deceased then it'll be a bomb shell for her. That's the part that makes me sad. The possibility of her being hurt but I'm still hoping he could be safe like that African guy that was trapped in that air bubble in that boat on the sea bed.
The police had time to stop traffic going both .... BUT DIDN'T TELL THE ROAD CREW WORKING ON THE BRIDGE 😔.. IF THERE WAS ENOUGH TIME TO STOP TRAFFIC, SOMEONE COULD HAD GOT THOSE MEN OUT OF HARM'S WAY..... PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILIES AND LOVE ONE'S THAT SADLY PASSED..
No. There was not enough time. Time factor was against the poor guys on the bridge. Don't blame the first responders. From what I heard at least one of them was going to drive onto the bridge AFTER they had stopped traffic. He did not make it onto the bridge before it collapsed and if he had made it onto the bridge he would most likely also be dead now. Limited resources on the scene that were with just a few minutes to act rushing to shut down traffic - at both ends - coming in from wherever they happened to be. It is not like they were actually sitting at either end of the bridge waiting for a call! It was a small miracle they even had time to stop incoming traffic. Everyone already on the bridge was at the mercy of time and judging by the videos at least two or three vehicles narrowly escaped. Those guys must feel incredibly lucky and probably shocked too! Time two to three minutes on your clock and think it through: You get the call, you have NO idea of who or how many is on the bridge and you have NO number to call to warn either of them. All you can do is try to prevent people from going on the bridge who also have NO idea. Two to three minutes is way too short. How on earth do you think you can call someone, anyone, in the middle of the night, have them drive on to the bridge to the workers - who they probably not even knew were there - inform them and pick them up and go back? It would be a suicide mission, we now that now after the fact. I feel very sad for the workers.
Video ship.. looks like it spun and headed straight for pillar It spun fast to have no steering 🤔
ship rudders stick in place when power is lost - meaning they keep turning even after the wheel has been returned to center. couple that with the fact that rudder movements are often fairly large, and you get a sudden hard turn when you lose power
i can give u blame in 3 seconds … if it wasnt mandatory for tugs to escort the ship then its the port of baltimore fault also there was no pillar protection again the port had years to implement barriers…! done deal
Nobody has pointing out if the ship tried to warn commuters with the ship's horn.
The ship lost all power. The horn was probably not working either.
yeah, the reporter clearly said they did just that...seconds after their power came on....pay attention
Thesane bridge was hit by a smaller cointainer ship in 1980 .....with apparently no damage!
But in 1980, did they have ships with displacements of 148,984 metric tons (the ship's weight empty)? That was a hefty mass that crashed into the Key Bridge, heftier than that ship in 1980, I'll bet. The _Dali_ would have had its load adding to the mass, too.
It is the “Francis Scott Key Bridge ” commonly known by local and regional residents as the “FSK Bridge” I am Not being pedantic by the way. Simply Identify the Bridge by its Proper Name! You are not identifying the unfortunate victims as some guy from wherever. Mind you human loss of life is by far more significant.
Really? That is your complaint? People, human beings, have lost their lives and you are concerned about calling the bridge, some inanimate object, by its proper name?🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
The crew thought that the bridge had the assumed two pillars and the ship went through the middle of an assumed opening and didn't think there was a pillar there. The bridge was not illuminated. Sheer panic went through the crew of Titanic proportions. Striking the pillar like that, a bridge cannot survive the collision. It's tragic and sad to hear. Praying for the victims.
then why was the transpondor turned off
The ship had a local pilot on board who would know the area very well, so no... they didn't just misunderstand where the channel was.
I don't believe that's true, from what it sounds like they were having mechanical issues and weren't able to get stuff together in time, hence you saw the black out. This is a MASSIVE cargo ship, people be thinking they everything runs smoothly and they can immediately take action whenever something goes wrong.
@@GX-105DMechanical Issues
The shipping lane was 200m wide. The bridge span is 500m wide. All ships have auxiliary power just like a hybrid car for instrument control, comm and steering. The Ukrainian captain veered starboard by two full football fields to smack the abutment head on. If Bribem and Congress rush to approve $35B more for Ukraine now, then it was a ransom attack.
God bless these families that lost their loved ones-++
So they say the power went out of the boat. I just seen a video as the boat was going towards the bridge. The power was still on. The boat still had lights on when the boat got near the bridge. The lights went out. They came back on.
That cargo ship was a set up it should have neva been that close to the bridge this is crazy
And cars and trucks shouldn’t run into bridges either but that is a daily occurrence. Look up “11ft 8in” for examples.
You know nothing about cargo ships or have any martime experience
@@Bassmaster-xd2pn I do not know you fo sho! How bout that!!
@@Bassmaster-xd2pn ¿¿¿¿
@@evangelalee473 I don't know what your trying to say
This video doesn’t show the collision why would that be
The traditional media doesn't release anything until the government gives them the new narrative. They're just propaganda.
Maybe open your eyes and watch it again at half speed.
@@THE-X-Force I’m referring to the new video angle where you see the bridge deck straight on as if you were driving on the highway and it does not show any collision whatsoever. It cuts off just as the ship is about to hit.
Why aren't tugboats used to pilot ships like this past bridges?
Yeah, thanks Scott.
Not saying it was intentional but if it was wouldn't it be a perfect time to bring this bridge down if you were trying to preserve as much human life as possible? People are paid to make things look like an accident when they really aren't. I've been over this bridge hundreds of times. I find it crazy odd that not 1 car, besides the worker's, was on the bridge when the ship hit. That's a 1.6-mile bridge! It would take time to stop traffic on either side and clear the bridge. The men on the mayday call did not sound urgent or surprised. There's other things I find odd, too, but I will wait to see what else is uncovered before I comment about that.
You are saying it is intentional. You are using the same messaging style your boi's Tucker, and Alex use. You fool nobody.
@@Look_What_You_DidN
It was 1:30 in the morning, and there were TWO cars that barely made it across that bridge. Here they did an amazing job closing the bridge down pronto and instead of criticizing, coming up with crazy theories (oh, we all know it’s coming!!!) let’s all be thankful some lives were saved. Prayers to the families hurting.
What a coincidence. It hit rhe bridge and lo abd behold the ships cargo was hazardous material....
Every cargo ship has "hazardous" material. Hell they all have something. So there is no "coincidence".
My heart goes out to the families of the victims 😢 God is with you during this difficult time. On another note...🤔 there were hazardous materials on board that had been damaged and spilling into the river and as per the norm, they're saying there is nothing that can hurt the environment? Isn't that what they said about East Palestine, Ohio??? I rest my case 👑🙏💞✝️👀😊
Just goes to show how vulnerable and delicate that type of expansion bridge really is. I guess when rebuilding it the anchorage points will have to be very well protected against impact since being so far apart to let all that traffic through.
why dint they advise the crew workers to get off the bridge as well?
they barely got people to the ends of the bridge to stop traffic, how do you expect them to get out to that road crew?
@@TheAechBomb is there no radios? their company numbers? they dint have their loud sirens? and besides dint the crew from the ship advise a bit ahead of time that they were going to collide with the bridge?
With all due respect for the victims and their families, what exactly do the families expect people to do? They said they feel they're being overlooked. Are we all supposed to just stop living our lives and scream and cry and wail around on the floor? I just find that to be a very odd statement from the victims families 😮😢
Maybe they want empathy. Not empty words. Here is your freaking empathy.
Maybe because they are not looking for their loved ones. They are claiming it is a dangerous weather hazard. It rained one day and was not cold. Divers are told not to go looking at the Titanic but every year divers are trying to look after a ship with no survivors. But divers cant put the same effort in for this. This has to do with these workers being a minority and that's wrong.
@@RestockwithLynne This is not about them being minorities. Its about it being extremely dangerous for the divers to go down there. Have you ever heard of underwater currents and tides? Would you rather rescue workers die too? I knew someone was going to make this a race issue. Pathetic!
They are greaveing. What they expect is empathy and understanding of their loss, rather than disgusting disregard and dismissal of their emotions. If you get uncomfortable with people's reactions from grief, whatever they are, and is compelled to dissect everything they say in that situation, you should rather sit down, zip it and let people greave.
@@aleenaprasannan2146 Who's disregarding and dismissing their emotions? All I've seen is an outpouring of sympathy and reporting on who they are and what their lives were like. I don't know where you get your information but its completely wrong. I'm not uncomfortable with emotions, I'm confused by their comments.
16:58 Why?? What cruel and insensitive question!!! 😤
Thank you "god" for not killing me, like you killed my friends.
What if it was a cyberattack on the vessel?
What if you received an education?
a cyberattack on what, the generators? ships aren't drones, they're operated by people, in person.
I can confirm that the mysterious hacking group known as Ebaumsworld did it.
What if it was hit by an invisible alien spaceship?
You can count on them not telling the truth
So no matter what they say, you've already decided it's a lie, even before they say anything?
I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't tell the truth. Politics is an evil business
You can count on _whom_ not telling the truth? The investigators? The ship's crew? The harbour pilots? The media? The police? The port authorities? The government? The ship's owners? The ship's managers? The ship's charterers? The bridge's designer? The first responders? The surviving construction workers? Just who the hell are "they"? And if, perchance, you answer "all of the above", then *_CONGRATULATIONS!_* You are a bona-fide conspiracy theory paranoiac!
I had to stop watching for 10 minutes when they identified the men. My heart aches for the families of those who had their lives so viciously taken away from them.
If the material on the ship isn't hazardous to people or the environment then why call it hazardous?🤦
