Baltimore Bridge Collapses After Cargo Ship Slams Into Base | Insider News
You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
I'm favoured financially, Thank you Jesus $32,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.
Thanks to Mrs Maria Davis.

I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of her clients testimony on CNBC news last week.

People don't realize how vulnerable our bridges are. Knock out four railroad bridges across the Mississippi will throw our economy in chaos.
“People” don’t realize. But Coorperations realize
Like an earthquake on the New Madrid fault on April 8th.
Your economy
Something that heavy will damage any pier in the world.
Ferb I think I've got an idea
I am so afraid of bridges. This is my worst nightmare. My heart goes out to the family of those who lost their lives in this tragedy.
Destroy your fear
Destroy your fear
my wife is terrified and she goes see this is why i don’t like bridges
I love Baltimore and this bridge. My heart is broken 😢
That's an irrational fear, do you have any idea how many people cross bridges daily and make it across just fine?
Show how much the media really care, they talked about everything but the people in this horrific accident
They don't really know anything about the people yet. The authorities haven't recovered the bodies yet.
Maybe this particular video was not intended to pry into the lives of those lost out of respect for their families who may not yet even know.
There is important factual information in this video. It is notable that the ship issued a distress call soon before collision as there was a malfunction. Although the bridge was up to code, there was clear structural weak point. Studying this will help us build safer bridges.
They haven't even recovered the bodies yet. The authorities won't release any information about the victims until then so there's nothing for the news to report about them yet.
I was thinking the same thing
I live in Baltimore, this is nowhere near the biggest bridge in Maryland ... the Chesapeake bay bridge is a thing
That's cause news outlets don't do research. They just make their articles sound catchy by saying 'biggest' instead of 'second largest'
Okay.....does that change anything
Pretty near, second only to the Chesapeake. The main span of 1,200 feet (366 m) was the third longest span of any continuous truss in the world. It was the second-longest bridge in the Baltimore metropolitan area, after the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
@@iamlegend1482I guess you don't like your news to be factual
@@iamlegend1482 "does that change anything?" Not regarding the bridge. But you missed the point. You must be young. The point is news media like to "crank up the drama". to get attention. Why didn't you see that? Something wrong with your cognition? All of the news media(s) are doing that. Just a note: are you on SSI? That is an "at home outpatient" on meds?
imagining the people who were on the bridge and their last moments is so terrible. my heart goes out to them and their families and friends. And MAN is that going to a long pain to clean up and rebuild.
Apparently the bridge was closed to traffic at the time, and there were 8 workers on the bridge fixing potholes.They found two of the survivors that plunged into the water, but six workers are still missing.
I heard news somewhere that the ship provided mayday call moments before collision and due to that traffic was stopped for the bridge. But then why those workers were allowed I don't know
another terrorist act by Ukraine, when will this country be dealt with?
The bridge was blocked before the collision
@@eldiablo3794let's hope the two get better quick cus it needs alot of fixing now
This is what happens when you let industry regulate itself. Pay attention the the Chevron Deference case, it'll only get immeasurably worse if it's overturned.
This needs to be investigated very closely.
By them?
It will, but sadly hush money will thwart the results of it 😒
Does the Captain have a valid license? He was in one major wreck before.

Intentionally

Fear is a wasted emotion. Overcome fear
@@Macattack11639 A true comment from somebody who has never known true peril. Fear is so absurdly useful to a continued life. You fear things every day. Delusional.
@@thefinal9923 wrong o my friend. Once you have overcome a serious illness, you have no fear. So you have obviously faced no peril. Fear is a weakness. You must be Gen Z, afraid of everything imagined or real. Tell me about your daily fears as you seem so brave. Ya I thought so. Silence. 🤫
Its so hard nowadays to think that any disaster isn't a "mistake"😒
Exactly, this country hasn't been right since January 20,2021, definitely on the fast track to hell! FJB 👍
A perfect example of money should go into infrastructure and not war!
well, it literally did nearly 4 years ago. That bill delegated over $100 billions to roads and bridges. So....there's that.
Both of you are wrong, the bridge collapsed not of an infrastructure failure but an accident.
@@christerry1773but did it really go towards what it was supposed to?
Like ANY bridge can withstand a 95,000 ton ship crashing into it. Save your politics
@@willg.5168 of course it didn’t. It’s hilarious how this is already being spun
You'd figure that since the Francis Scott Key bridge opened to traffic 47 years (three days) ago, they'd have placed rounded concrete barriers at the front and the back of the supports that hold up the bridge to prevent such a disaster.
They said this is the second time this ship has had a major crash
Why so many containers?
@@MrReymoclif714it’s a container ship
I would have to wonder about that, too. What kind of driving record does that Captain have?

That water looks like it is moving fast, too
this is why i hate driving on bridges
Just loses power right before the bridge? Seems suspicious to me.
Right and there were no indications before hand ?
just like the netflix movie Leave the World Behind 2023
It’s a selection bias, if the ship lost power anywhere else it wouldn’t have been news
Has there been any reports on the number of casualties? Imagine being on that bridge when it collapsed.

please tell me why it was so close to the support piling BEFORE it lost power?
The plan was likely to slip past the support pillars without incident. In my town, I see it happen every so often. You have to understand, the people on these ships are experts at what they do. This was a freak accident that was out of the crew's control

How the hell did the same ship crash into a bridge 8y ago and they don’t know how or why? Also, “up to code” is a CYA admission. 1977 code, when it was erected, or code now in this modern era of big, long, heavy, ships in inner continental waterways? Smh

Wow, Insider is fast at covering this event. Praying for more survivors and Baltimore.
Pretty sure my Aunt passed away two weeks ago so that my cousin could not say - “see, I told you so.”
Was this intentional?
Soooo, the top of the right bridge that has mini sparks, & fire is due to the metal twisting at rapid rate rite? possible electrical lines?
Why would the ship even be pointed in that direction?
The lost control of the ship
The ship lost total power. When that happens the steering goes out.
We were warned of terrorists attack's on the US especially from Russia & China hacking into systems and causing havoc & destruction! That container carrier can be controlled by autopilot and was clearly hacked and purposely steered into the support beam and purposely caused the collapse of that massive 4 lane bridge.

This was no accident!..... SMH!....
I’ve lived near the Ohio river my whole life. I’ve seen hundreds and hundreds of barges go down that river And they’re always right in the middle of the river
So was this one until it lost power.
"Oopsie" doesn't quite cut it
or "my bad"
This moment reminds me of the South Padre Island Bridge collapse in 2001, Sept 15th, when a tugboat and barge crashed into the pillars of the Bridge, collapseing it from the center. This incident is way worse as the whole Bridge just collapses because of one cargo ship, which I'm shocked. god bless those souls. I hope all of the people on the bridge are ok.🙏🙏
R.i.p to anyone who passed. Now everyone can run to the store and panic shop.
I wouldn’t call 6 people a mass casualty but still a horrible event
IMAGINE HOW EMBARRASSED IS CAPTAIN IN FRONT OF HIS OWN CREW ?
Well since the ship lost power, what was he to do? Wouldn't feel embarrassed, just powerless and dread.
Not an accident. Major port.
No judgement, fool.
How do you explain this and not lose your entire career? Part of me thinks the "losing power" explanation is bs
Well more like he could go to prison for this
how heavy was the ship with the containers on top?
Think the bay bridge is way bigger, like more than 2x as big def not Maryland's biggest
I would very much like to know WHY that huge cargo ship was anywhere NEAR what was hit. IF there was/were problems with guidance, electronics, ect, WHY was it not shut down until whatever was causing the issue was resolved. This is much more than a faulty situation, bad judgement or lack of experience.
Damn!! Hope that wasn’t done intentionally 😢
Why would it be done intentionally? its a cargo ship crash, there is definitely some negligence at play but hardly deliberate.
Never attribute to malice what can be easily explained by stupidity
@@staffsaber534 Why be reasonable when you can parrot misinformation on the internet for attention though!
Learn to read. It clearly says the ship lost power.
This is HORRIBLE. THE ships captain needs to be out in Jail
Sending my prayers
Even people who weren't involved in the incident could have their lives ruined by this. Commuters who depend on the bridge for their work, business that depend on shipping via the bridge. This is absolutely awful! :(
It definitely was not Maryland's biggest bridge. That would be the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Does Insider put any effort into these pieces?
The Chesapeake Bay bridge is in Virginia
@@kennethzullick6897 That bridge is scary. I had to drive on that bridge to go to a friend's wedding. I was like, "Please, dont let anything happen to this bridge while I'm on it" 😅
@@kennethzullick6897 You're thinking of the Chesapeake Bay bridge/tunnel. Maryland has a bay bridge that's called the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, but its proper name is the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial (Bay) Bridge.
INVESTIGATE THE DAMN SHIPPING COMPANY for criminal neglect to properly maintain the ship's system and backup power system, both of which failed. that should NEVER happen. This is no different than Boeing or United Airlines cutting corners on an aircraft
The “crew “ sent mayday out before or after the crash ?
Condolences to the families from japan 🙏 🇯🇵
So they wanted a new bridge?!
TERRORISM. This was not a US ship. All lights went out twice and then went straight into the bridge...

Did Boeing have anything to do with making that ship?
Surreal.
As a first responder myself, I feel for those attending this event just as much as the family’s who lost loved ones. Hope as many people as possible can have a safe and healthy recovery.
I hope Singapore has some good insurance on that ship replacing that bridge and the lives that were lost is gonna cost them
I heard dopeyjoe briben said govt.will pay for rebuilding bridge he better not synergy marine co.has insurance they also have over 600 ships so no 10 % for the big guy this time .!!!***
@@john-dz6wk You realize we can rebuild the bridge now and get the money from the company later right? We need the bridge open ASAP for jobs and the economy. We can't wait years to get the money through the international courts. We'll get the money back eventually but right now we need to rebuild.
That bridge is outdated and should have been replaced a long time ago.
@@john-dz6wkWhat are you talking about, the big guy ALWAYS gets his cut!
@@john-dz6wkhe was asked the question "who will pay" and he said first the feds help rebuild and THEN go after the company because folks in that area need the bridge built before litigation takes it's sweet ol' time.
The shipping company should pay for the repair of the bridge and all the money that has lost because of it being down
good point
That shipping company is doomed then, they reported $100 million revenue in a year (without subtracting expenses). According to the video the bridge collapsing is losing the economy $15 million per day which is $5.4 billion per year plus the repair, which based on 60 million in '77 is equal to over $310 million today, yeah, they are royally screwed if forced to pay.
How does this happen
When the ship lost steering why did they not drop anchor immediately? Or was that not possible seems like they should have redundant steering systems
How on Gods Earth, the ship manage to do this....WTF

Cookies are going from $3.50 a pack to $6.50 to pay for that bridge 😮
Actually just to cover the cookie shortage.
Was this ship even suppose to go in that direction? Was it suppose to go under the bridge
Lack of infrastructure risk assessments is mind bending. There should have been some sort of barricades near major failure points to prevent such incidents. Tired of 🤡 shows every single day.
Like anything would stop 95,000 tons of ship. Get real

Not to take responsibility away from the container ship, but, You'd figure, since the Francis Scott Key Bridge opened in 1977 (exactly 47 years, three days ago), they'd have added rounded concrete protection to the front and the back of the supports that hold up the bridge to prevent such a disaster.
Was this kind of collapse just lucky not to happen before, or did bad conditions align this time?
The Dali has a prior incident with similar results and was allowed to carry on to commit this incident?!?! Regardless of the bridge's condition, the responsibility lies with those who let the ship be back on the sea.
That bridge was not an adequate design for such intense traffic by such large vessels. An accident waiting to happen.

Power came back on for a hard thrusting right turn. Then it went out when it was lined up. They messed up on the projection. Premeditated.
I was wondering if barriers around the bridges columns would have stopped the ships movement and it would crash into the barriers instead.
hopefully bridge is rebuilt stronger or with a barrier
I was also thinking it could be a sloping barrier where the ship would have to move up the slope against gravity to stop its momentum.@@ClintLock1
@@ClintLock1 They probably will. Like the one in Tampa Bay after it collapsed when a ship ran into it.
My condolences to the poor city and family
I think that the ship targeted the bridge because it looks like it turned off all the lights, pressed full throttle, and rammed the bridge.
Disrupt supply chains. The latest distraction of the week.
Imagine this happens to the Golden Gate Bridge, luckily the Golden Gate Bridge is more durable and stable.
