Who else was watching the cars and trucks and thinking HURRY!!! GO FASTER!!!!!
I was lol 💯
The ship did a mayday call and law enforcement were able to hold traffic they saved lives
I kept saying "Go, go, go,.." but watching the Dept. of Transportation vehicles (the stationary ones with flashing lights) and their accompaniment of guys filling potholes, plunging into the water, well, that was heartbreaking!
A lot of people!!
@@FarBear-by6rw Is that why there weren't any for a few seconds before
This was incredibly hard to watch. As cars/trucks were crossing I was saying to myself HURRY!!!! Those poor men working. Just breaks my heart.
Why were the 8 men abandoned on that bridge? Clearly many other people got the message to GTFO in time.
Thankfully the bridge was closed in time. I'm sure theres massive amounts of video cams to confirm.
@@athens31415 I'm sure it was unintentional. I'm not sure if a liason exists between the two entities. They might not have heard a warning from their vehicles. Walkie talkies might have been present. So many questions. Good ones too.
Me too!!
@athens31415 I'm pretty sure they're state roads employees. Not sure if state roads was notified in time if at all.
RIP those hard workers, many people lost their sons, brothers, fathers and husbands, and their lives will never be the same again.
Exactly. There are so many affected by this tragedy, both directly and indirectly. And they will carry it along for the rest of their lives. So sad! 😢
FSK bridge collapse = Sri Lankan barge accidentally knocking the FSK bridge down, accidentally drowning cheap workers from below the u.s. southern border.
We ought to remember these people with compassion and gratitude. Our entire infrastructure depends on the work of immigrants. It’s _always_ been this way in the US. The inevitable casualties of our greatest public works have always been borne by immigrants. But they keep coming here. They keep bearing our scorn and doing the work we refuse to do. And they keep elevating our country with their pioneering spirit and compassion, generosity, and ingenuity forged in fire. In spite of our hate. It’s simply miraculous. May the memories of the lost be blessed.
@@irenafarmlol
No women?
Wow. The last passenger vehicle gets off the bridge 35 seconds before the ship strikes the bridge. And you can still see the lights from the construction vehicles when the bridge goes down. How tragic.
That's Matrix works 🤗
Wow
What I don't understand is, that construction crew had to have seen that ship coming. Wondering why that didn't get in their trucks and book it off the bridge. That already had blocked off all other traffic. Such a tragedy.
@@judyrhoda4071 That’s what I’ve been wondering myself. The officers blocked the traffic from going over, nobody had any of the worker’s phone numbers to call them? Has anything new been reported that shows someone tried getting in touch with them? It is very sad and I send my condolences to their loved ones. 🙏
4:58.
Thank you! This is literally ALL I wanted. No news, no talking, no clips, just the full video. Thank you!
Why?
I agree. So sick of trying to find raw video and all I find is pointless news and talking over the video and crazy editing.
Looks like all the cats/trucks made it across before collapse.
Streamtime Live youtube channel is where this came from. You can see a live view 24/7 of this port there. I recommend checking out their other cams too including the Lock 19 cam. :)
Same here! Had to scroll passed dozens of videos before finding raw footage. I do not need the generic news anchor voice to describe what I'm about to watch with my own eyes.
I live less than 2 miles from the bridge. The noise woke me up and shook our house.
Dang that’s insane
I can't understand why the waters remained calm after the bridge fell in?
Wow
Wow. I can't imagine. This is devastating.
😮
The last vehicle made it over the bridge with only 40 seconds to spare! It only took about 5 seconds for the main part of the bridge to land in the water! Thank God the police were able to stop traffic! I wish someone could have told the construction workers in time.
Yeah I watched this video prepared to be righteously enraged for the sake of the road crew but there was absolutely no possibility that they could have made it off. Even assuming they all were in vehicles, they got the message exactly when the bridge was closed, and they instantly drove at top speed - they still couldn’t have made it to safety. The bridge collapsed too quickly. It’s always astonishing and shocking to see how catastrophically suspension bridges fail.
No. I will not thank your imaginary sky daddy wizard for the police responding promptly.
@irenafarm Not to sound like an a$$hole (like the guy talking about imaginary sky wizards) but I believe this is a truss bridge..basically 2 supports and if one goes the whole thing goes- again, focusing on the poor souls who perished of course, and not what kind of bridge it is! God bless!
@@keithfloydjr4014 Yes... because refusing to submit to grown adult delusions is a real "asshole move" 🤡
Realized those yellow flashing lights on the bridge are road crew works😢
Yeah I was watching them too hoping it wasn't but then they go down with the bridge
Yeah is crazy some people died on the key bridge 😢
When I used to live in Dundalk for 10 years every day, I’d see the Key Bridge from my house every day. I look out my bathroom window and I’d see that bridge. We drove over that bridge so many times and made so many memories. One time, my dad was driving an armored military vehicle. He called my mother and I and said he is on the Key Bridge. He turned on the big bright lights on the vehicle and told us to look at the bridge. and I saw him all the way from my house. 😢. (Sorry I vented but I had to get it out)
You are not venting, just sharing a wonderful memory. That must've been so cool to see your Dad's lights from so far away. The bridge may be gone for now but it will rebuild, and your memories will stay as firm as ever.
It cool bro. I'm pretty sure it was a hard hit when you heard the news. I'm sure a lot of natives felt the same way.
Thank you sharing this memory. There's no need to feel sorry. Your post is a fitting and meaningful recollection and I was honored to read it.
@@thelotus8285 yes it did.
That reminds me of sighting my sailor spouse on the deck of "his" aircraft carrier right before it went under the Golden Gate Bridge, with my young son in his stroller and minding him and videotaping it parked on the pedestrian walkway on the Golden Gate Bridge. I had lots of luck that day holding the camera steady and of course laughing excitedly because I spotted him waving up at me standing in a small group of men. Even my toddler bobbed gleefully while munching a cheekful of blueberry bagel. It was early morning and we walked the short distance to the bridge from our quarters in the Presidio. Loved that location.
What most media reports have missed so far is that the ship actually loses power twice. The first time for a full minute between 01:21 and 02:22 and then again at 03:27 with power partially returning at 03:58. Her engines go full astern shortly after the power returns the first time at 02:30 but this doesn't slower her but rather rotates her directly into the path of the bridge pylon. She shuts down all engines at 4:50 and then strikes the bridge pylon at 05:33. She also doesn't appear to drop her port bow anchor until a few seconds after she contacts the bridge pylon. So basically she went from normal operation to deadly disaster in 4 minutes. In those four minutes there were two periods of complete darkness and no systems functioning for one and a half minutes. So only two and a half minutes to restart systems, identify the power failure and regain control. This would have been 4 minutes of total confusion and panic between the crew and the pilot. Its a miracle that they were able alert the bridge operator and they were able to close down traffic in that time - although maintenance workers in the middle of the bridge clearly had no time to evacuate.
The criminal part is this ship was in port for 2 days and they were having electrical problems and decided to set sail early this morning anyway !
@@KayInMainethat hasn’t been reported !
@@keithmoore8888because it’s speculation. I’m not saying I don’t believe them, because that’s definitely something a cheapskate shipping company would do, but it’s just a KZhead comment. Take it with a grain of salt.
Sooo what exactly are we thinking made it turn the way it did??
That’s what I want to know. If you lost power how come the ship was straight until it turned right into the bridge. If you have no power then like any vehicle you can change its course. Here you can clearly see they were able to turn this ton of ton cargo ship to turn. You know how hard that is. Try turning your steering wheel without electricity. Or your power steering doesn’t work. You can’t change the direction of it. But here it looks like they could. But they could stop the cars. Count how long it took for all the cars to stop crossing over. I think someone dropped the ball. I’m not saying everybody could have been saved but, something doesn’t add up right at all!
The ship lost all electrical power and what happened is there is no main engine power to propel the ship since all those generators giving electricity just tripped. Usually this ship has three or more main generators giving electrical power. It drifted and even moving at dead slow speed you just can’t stop it. It’s a massive ship and all the steering controls are useless without those electrical equipment running through the ship. I was once a third assistant engineer aboard bulk carriers and I’ve experience this kind of situations. RIP to those guys on the bridge.Accidents happen but ship’s proper maintainnance is in question for sure…
Appears they were heading toward bridge support before power was lost. Also appears he was not in main Channel.
No anchor?
@@tiffanylynn6839 they dropped anchor
That's very odd. Sounds like that ship was sabotaged. I wouldn't doubt it either. So many nuts we've let into this country since Biden stole the office.
This was also my question. Depending on the how deep this portion of the channel is, it could take 10 minutes for the anchor to take effect, up to 20 minutes in open sea. Still you would think that dropping the anchor would be the instinctive response. @@tiffanylynn6839
"Seven seconds until the end." Just a little over seven seconds after the initial impact of a cargo ship's hull, the the main artery through the ports of Baltimore lands in the waters below what was the Francis Scott Key Bridge... The lives of the people in Baltimore changed forever. To all of the families and close friends of those who were either killed or injured during the collapse, my heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to you. To the fallen, may you all rest in peace.
❤❤❤🗣🙏🙏🙏💯♾️👑
Approximately 5 construction vehicles fell in, around 7 people missing…possibly more. Prayers to all of the victims and their families.
14 missing unfortunately
Thought news said about 20 people were in the water. I'm going to have to check. Praying for them all.
Its six people
That's terrible I feel so badly for these people
It’s 4 missing. They recovered 2 of the bodies yesterday
Imagine just making it off the bridge and looking behind you to see it collapsing.
You should look up interviews with Frank Manley. Similar incident in 1975 when the SS Lake Illawarra hit the Tasman Bridge in Australia at night. A section collapsed, but it was so dark it wasn't obvious there was no road there. The car in front of Frank just disappeared from his view as it fell hundreds of feet into the water. Frank slammed on the brakes. There's a photo of his car the next day. The front of the car dangling over the edge.
There’s a lot of close calls from the 101/Bay Bridge collapse during the Loma Prieta quake in 1989.
Like in a movie
@@benedictcumberbatch4275Final Destination 5
Yeah. Or not.
anyone else notice how the ship turned into the column, instead of just drifting through the open area ??
Yeah I noticed that too.🤔
She dropped her anchor in an attempt to slow down. If it was intentional, the captain wouldn't have called a mayday.
Was wondering about that myself, but yeah why do a Mayday call if it was intentional
Please don’t be a conspiracy theorist
here they come after 9\11 even here seeing conspiracy
The hardest part of this is being able to see the moment the bridge collapses and seeing those poor men falling. Its being heartbreaking, they could not run, they were not able to escape.
Blinking lights Center, right you can see the vehicles go down
One of the workers actually swim to the shore😢
Rest in peace work crew.
Recovery is possible R I P 🕊️🧸 bouquet 💐 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@user-on7iu3ie4ithey’re presumed dead now….
I think since they said RIP and mentioned recovery they were talking about finding the deceased loved ones; closure for the families, of course ❤️🩹 :’(
the dead were cheap workers from below the u.s. southern border.
Swimming with the fishes
I'm a truck driver and last drove over that bridge on Friday. Usually I'm watching out for the crosswinds.
So, glad your alive. Great respect for truckers because even with my 2 degrees and 25 years in Psychiatric most of us could never do what you do. Happy for your family that you still here. Do, something nice to celebrate your lives. K ?
I'm wondering how many truck drivers that just barely made it, saw this. My mouth is still dropping. I hope they take time off.
When your first coming up on it the bridge looks like its touching the sky the entrance to it always freaked me out and yeah the winds will push you around like a tin can up there
Maybe traffic should always stop when big boats pass. Everywhere in the world. Treat them as if they are trains. Better saving lives than avoiding traffic jams or being a little late
It’s those cross freighters you wanna keep an eye on ..
It had to be so scary for the construction workers, drivers, and cargo ship workers, one of my worst fears going over bridges
I have worked on several river bridges as a land surveyor in my 40 year career and I have Never seen huge support structures totally unprotected? On structures this big they should of had concrete islands around the pylons, long pointed concrete islands that deflect big ships like this. Even most railroad trestles have deflection islands. Just something else to disrupt supply lines, thanks Brandon!
You were making sense and sounding quite informative, logical and well reasoned…. then you threw in those last 2 words and elevated your stupidity to heights unknown. Great job fella!!!
Wasn’t this bridge made in like the 80s? lol nice try adding Biden into this tho

This is a reminder of all the things we take for granted (including life). We ASSUME a plane's computer will work. We ASSUME the car coming toward us in the other lane won't swerve into our lane. We ASSUME that the car in front of us won't have to brake suddenly. We ASSUME that, when we go to a public place, the roof won't fall on us and a gunman won't come in, spraying us with bullets. Some people ask, "What are the odds?' and go on their merry way. But for the victims, the odds turn out to have been 100%.
I'd say people hope, not assume
@@DeafeningCha Some probably hope, while others assume. Maybe life's experiences convert assumptions to hopes.
I'm sure this isn't the case everywhere but we also assume the ground won't fall in and swallow you like what happened here in Florida several years ago where the man was in bed and a sinkhole opened up and he disappeared, his brother was on the other side of the house and by the time he got to his brothers bedroom it was gone. That incident freaked me out incredibly bad. But in order to live a normal life you can't think about all the things that could happen like you listed. So the only way to live normally is to have faith that none of those things will happen.
@@gothgirl4evr881 ... and accept them when they do happen. My grandfather went to work one day and was killed at work. That was back in the day when companies operated under few if any regulations, LOL. We should appreciate when tragedies don't happen, though, and appreciate every good thing that comes along, taking credit for none of it. I don't believe everything just happens randomly, but I do think think there is an element of chance/fate. You mentioned the sinkhole in Florida freaking you out (and I don't blame you), but I think of the much bigger and more famous sinkhole there (well, not a real sinkhole, but the analagy holds) that occurred when that condominium skyscraper simply went down while so many were sleeping in their beds. And, of course, there was 9/11, when so many went to work and never came home. I think of the people who must have been so happy when they were hired to work in those towers - especially those working in that finest of fine restaurants at the top. The bottom line, I think, is that we shouldn't live in fear but we shouldn't just assume that nothing will ever go wrong, either. We do what we can to avoid tragedies and deal with them when they come along.
@@timward3116 and that is why planning ahead is important. Not that you can plan for a meteor striking the earth and end the existence of all life on the planet. But you can at least plan out a will for when it's your turn to go.
That's terrifying. I'm scared to death of bridges and water so that's my worst nightmare come true
Mine too
I'll see your fear of bridges and raise you...When you're stuck under an underpass while the traffic above you is stopped.
Move to Colorado
Verdade. Eu passaria longe kkkk
I actually bought 2 sets of window breaker and seat belt cutter just incase my self . my daughter has one and we have one . I'm a strong swimmer but my hubby isn't .
How did they make that turn straight into the support post with NO CONTROL.
The anchor had been dropped to try and slow the ship
@@rprince418 The more I learn the more I understand, I don't try to be an armchair boat captain, it just appeared to make a sharp turn.
Nothing is coincidence
Stupid people like u can't understand that out of control ship turned straight so that ship can hit that bridge 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Go and watch pogo
Well their ship was having power issues. Off and on it went. They tired to turn on the generators.. they wouldn't work and yeah not able to keep in control. Sad situation... hope people are held accountable. accountable.
My question is if the ship was heading between the bridge supports, when the power went out wouldn’t it simply continue to drift in that direction. Based on the comments it seems the actions to stop the ship is what caused the turn in direction. But you don’t need to be expert to see that stopping a ship at that point is not probable
It was the service vehicles working on the bridge that fell in.
Imagine working on a bridge at 1:28 in the morning just for the whole thing to go down
What are service vehicles?
@@xDeadlyWarriorX They were workers filling potholes
I watched no moving cars. They just made it across just. The working trucks
Jesus saves sinners!!!
The most important thing is human life and the losses in this matter should be as small as possible. The bridge can always be rebuilt, but not human lives 🙏🙏🙏
The most important thing is whether or not they were Christians. We all die at some point regardless of how.
Had no idea that Boeing also made cargo ships...
How much money did that person get for taking out the Bridge
Adjust your tin foil hat
Apparently from the video, there were two cars that made it across the bridge just twenty or thirty seconds before it collapsed. Just in the nick of time!
I am so heartbroken for those who have lost their lives. This is devastating. The fear they must have felt before they took their last breaths. I am terrified of rising water and collapsing structures. I can only imagine the fright these humans must have gone through. May their families recover and their bodies be collected for a proper burial.
this clip shows nothing. you need to watch it slowed down and close up.
it's eerie that it's silent... plus the ship is so slow as it creeps into view and then slowly makes its way to the bridge.
I was on the bridge just hours before it went down and I was going to be on it again just a few hours after it happened. I can't stop thinking about it, how much traffic traveled on there. If this happened during rush hour, there would be no way that a 30-60 second warning would have been enough. This could have been so much worse, and I can't stop thinking about that
Gephyrophobia could be coming on.
Calm down. You’ll end up getting stuck in a horrifying and endless cycle of “what-if’s”.
I pray you realize the Lord has a plan for your life and it is absolutely no accident you were not there. Please think this Easter on what Jesus Christ did for you, yes you, who He loves you so much He hung on a cross to bear the punishment for your sins. Get on your knees, bow your head thank God for what He has done for you and the breath you breathe, and surrender your life to Christ and receive eternal life. We have turned from God in this country and Satan is filling in the gap. We must turn back to God. I have personally seen the demonic realm and pieces of Hell. It is very real. When I did, I said if that is real, I need Jesus and the fear of God was put in me. Later the Lord has shown me more of Satan's works and the demonic realm and how thwy operate. I assure you it is no accident you weren't on that bridge. It is a long story, but it was discovered how the demonic plotted 18 car accidents against someone to be killed and they weren't because of the grace of God. God is jealous for your love, time, energy and affection. He is serious about the need to turn from sin that is the devil's way and trust the gift of Jesus Christ He gave us all. 1) We All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). 2) The wages of sin is [eternal] death (Romans 6:23). 3) The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23b). 4) Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16. Lord, I admit I am a sinner. I need and want Your forgiveness. I accept Your death as the penalty for my sin, and recognize that Your mercy and grace is a gift You offer to me because of Your great love, not based on anything I have done. Cleanse me and make me Your child. By faith I receive You into my heart as the Son of God and as Savior and Lord of my life. From now on, help me live for You, with You in control. In Your precious name, Amen Find a Christian church for community support and teaching and read your Bible daily.

@@Kristenrhayes So it was God's plan to take 6 men's lives on that bridge? 6 men who went to work and now won't return to their families. 6 men who died in a horrific and unimaginable way. That was God's love on display? You'll say it was Satan but that doesn't work. If God stopped the OP from being on the bridge, he could have stopped them all from being on the bridge, but he didn't so it must have been in his plan. And you use this time to preach? You use a tragedy to force your moronic beliefs on strangers? You're a real piece of work, and that's me putting it kindly.

Why is there only one video pov...Where are all the webcam footage ,port camera footage...bridge camera footage...it's not a small rural town where this happened. Smh.
_Who_ are you asking? Port Camera footage has been released too, but this video is the most popular because it has a wide view showing the whole bridge and the whole ship. The Port authority camera I saw on the news was mostly for monitoring road traffic on the bridge. It showed part of the ship just prior to impact. There's other cameras, but I don't know why you'd expect this video to have a compilation of them. Maybe someone else will do a compilation, or maybe you can find them and edit a few together?
Sure looks to me like the Dali made a turn to starboard and took dead on aim support pillar. was it an accident?

@@PartnershipsForYounah he just had to use the parking brake and this never would of happened
Imagine being the people who drove over it just before it collapsed? I'll bet they are glad they didnt take five minutes longer doing whatever that day.
The authorities successfully closed the bridge, so at this time, the only known injured and casualties are from the road crew.
Not even five minutes for the last group that went across. If they had been delayed by even 30 seconds the outcome would have been different for them. It's wild when I think about it.
collapse lasted 7 seconds so sad
You see those 3 steady blinking lights center right, those are the construction crew vehicles. They were on a 9pm to 5am shift and were having their break in those vehicles at 1am when the bridge collapsed. My guess is that even though traffic to the bridge was stopped just in time, there was no way to warn them safely to get off the bridge.
So sad, given the last truck crossed 30 seconds before it collapsed they really wouldn't had anytime to pack up and leave even if they had any idea how little time they had.
The authorities on location seem to have known less than a minute before impact. It just happened too quickly. I also doubt anyone thought that the impact would result in such a massive and quick collapse.
Center right, saw that Wow!! So sad.
@@bonebizzil904oh, stop. What a stupid comment.
I would love to see an interview with the last driver who crossed the bridge. When he goes out of frame there is like 39-41 seconds before the bridge is hit and starts to fall apart, I just found a calculator online that shows if he was going 55 mph he would have traveled 0.5958 miles in 39 seconds. Would that have put him at a point where he was on the road leaving the area, not even realizing what he had just survived.
How is this the only video of the accident when the shipyard is in the background. They nor have any video?
There is another video, but it’s taken on the ground on a cellphone
Prayers to the families of the people who were on the bridge during the collapse 😢
Last vehicle on the bridge seems about 20 seconds before the collapse.
Yes, 34 seconds, & just 5 seconds to collapse after impact, Wow, Thank God the ship called a mayday that stopped traffic, but heartbreaking that the construction workers didn't evacuate?! They were fixing potholes, & maybe didn't hear their radios.? Prayers for everyone affected by this 🙏📿

👉🏼 4:57 you see the last two vehicles crossing the FSK bridge for the very last time....The last small car at 01:28:08AM [ camera ] was being driven by Larry Desantis. .a Baltimore port native...He was rushing to his 2nd job at a backery shop that moment....After the bridge had collapsed, he recieves a chilling phone call from his workplace asking his current whereabouts...He replied that he just crossed the Key Bridge...Then his colleague from his work informs him that the whole bridge has just fell into the Patapsco water !.....Larry didn't listen the sound of the bridge collapsing behind him. . .because he was listening to the radio on his way to work...The aged man appears being emotional while describing about all this during a television interview... ..Finally at 01:28:43AM [ camera ] 👉🏼 5:32 the MV Dali collides into one of the support pillars of the ill-fated bridge....Very much haunting visuals. . .& heartbreaking at the same time !
Saw an interview with him, poor guy might have survivor's guilt. He seemed to think if he'd been a few minutes later getting to the bridge he would have been on it when it collapsed. He must be unaware that if he'd been a few minutes later, he wouldn't have gotten on the bridge at all cos the transit cops stopped the traffic when dispatch told them about the mayday call from the ship.
I don’t care about the bridge in fact it’s a chance for Baltimore to build a larger higher bridge. I care about the missing and traumatized people, specially the missing who might well be in their cars at the bottom of the river and I can’t imagine the grief that some families are going through right now because of that.
That bridge was plenty tall. You would know if you have ever been over it.
six road crew members are who they are looking for. the captain alerted authorites prior to the collision and they shut down traffic or it would have been much worse.
@@ChickenTender57 I know it was built for big ships but how long ago? one of the problems with the Panama Canal is the ships are getting to big for it. They like to blame it on climate change but fact is it’s too narrow for today’s super ships. That plus reduced rainfall in the region are 2 knifes in the heart for the canal. I’m not saying the bridge is that old but actual what I was referring too was making a bigger statement not necessarily a literal bigger bridge. but that’s for your very literal input.
@@roysnider3456they got longer and wider, but not much taller. That would reduce the stability of the ship. The bridge was plenty high. Now, pier protection would have been an obvious improvement
who cares about what you care about at this point? the time for baltimore to build anything has come and gone. this was another incident orchestrated by the government to cause mayhem an madness. u can build somethin up to the heavens. u can also dig towards the gates below and bury it the government will still step in in order to keep their blessed power
Didn't see any traffic moving on the bridge at the moment of impact, just those poor construction guys. Hopefully that means they did in fact get people stopped in time.
Yes, a local Baltimore TV station indicated that a mayday went out, which somehow stopped the traffic quite quickly…???

@@fightback397Do you think the horn works during a power outage?
Yup those workers if they did stop traffic they heroes may god bless them and my condolences to their families. 🙏🙏
On every vessel, there is an emergency generator fitted which supplies electrical power for all vessel's essential maneuvering machineries. This Emergency generator starts automaticaly 3 seconds after any power loss. Watching the video It seems that this generator failed to start.
WOW. I'm an retired ship's master, been under that bridge many times. Pray for all the injured.
Pray for the families of the 6 workers who were abandoned on the bridge and then died as a result.
And what are your thoughts?

Drove across that bridge the evening before. Driven across and been driven across that bridge so many times. Use to work at the dock in Dundalk which is like right there. Crazy to think that bridge is gone, especially after just driving on it a few hours before.
Ok… why does it look like to me that they turned into the bridge starting around the 3:30 mark to the 4:30 mark?
For those of you who are wondering why the bridge collapsed so easily, no way would a bridge be able to withstand an impact from a ship that large!
Seems the Bridge wasn’t designed to absorb horizontal impact from ships that large. Shock waves hitting the bridge joints seems to have cause most of the damage.
Byllshit
it's because it was a truss design bridge. one big solid mass of interconnected steel. when something fails, it brings the entire structure down with it. they're sturdy and cheap. they can take a lot of weight, but when they fail, oh boy do they fail. the best, (and more expensive) bridge designs are designed in ways that allow partial collapses while leaving the majority intact. unfortunately those big fancy bridges are rarely used outside of the "face" of a city, meaning ones anywhere else are just focused on the utility aspect. "if it gets the job done, it's good enough." until it isn't. yet another disaster of the rich ruling over every aspect of our lives for their own sake.
waynemacfarland1546 Built back better.
This could of been much worse if those cars were seconds too late while driving on the bridge.
It was tragic but could have been much worse for sure! I couldn’t of imagine the casualties if had happened at 5pm
They were driving a lot of people in that water

Watching this was so gut wrenching! I actually started to cry! Watching those cars continue to go over the bridge and just the thought of those people not even knowing what might be! Ugh!
Cars continue to go over the bridge? They were all safe. It was the construction crew that got unlucky…….. The Bridge operator stopped traffic just in time.
thanks for uploading the original footage, this is the one
Why did that cargo ship not ask for an escort through?? Tug boat escorts should be required for any main bridge crossing for all large cargo ships.

I don’t really understand the problem. It’s available - why would any newstainment network repost it, or play it on their broadcast? It’s like 6 minutes long of basically nothing, unless you’re really focused. Newstainment network segments are produced with short attention spans in mind. It’s fine. It’s not their job to do anything other than make their sponsors happy. Yay, capitalism. If you want full details, there’s always hyperlocal information like this post, easily available nowadays.
I have to cross a similar bridge to get to and from work. Now I have THIS on my mind every time I cross.
This was tooo Intense to watch my heart was racing the whole time....Lord please comfort the families of those who lost the life this is heartbreaking 💔
The big takeaway I get from the full length video is the power went out at 1:22, the ship impacted at 5:34, collapse at 5:40. So a 4m12s span. While I read they contacted the port/authorities, I'm surprised the bridge wasn't in a more prepared state by that time.
On power failure at. 1.22 , if the ship was fixed on course , did The wind or water current deviate the original set course? In the 4.12 span was an sos sent? Would be interesting to see the interview transcripts of the Pilot, Captain and crew on this mysterious incident .
@@Nektaria11000Exactly what I'm curious about - you'd think their set course wouldn't be in line with a bridge pylon, even from ~2000 feet out.
I know the whole thing depends on whether the ship had directional control but I have a couple of observations: When the ship blacked out why didn't the emergency navigation lights come on, this may indicate complete electrical failure, even of some of the controls and instrumentation, the navigation lights came on when electrical power was restored and stayed on when there was a a second apparent loss of power. More importantly tho' the ship seems to veer to starboard after the initial black out and before electrical power was restored and just before black smoke came out of the funnel. This indicates that the engine had been put astern before electrical power was restored and reached full power when the black smoke was seen and caused the swing the starboard to increase. What caused this swing to starboard, was it the engine being put astern, which normally happens when a ship's engine is put astern, loss of directional control or external factors?
This is horrific! I do heard that they prevent any traffic from crossing the bridge. But unfortunately, I do heard a few construction workers on this bridge didn't evacuate when the ship was very close to the bridge. :( R.I.P. Francis Scott Key Bridge (1977-2024).
was their always a camera randomly pointed at the bridge?
Actually, yep. This is one of those fixed 24/7 monitor feeds. See the StreamTime logo on the video. You could've just tuned in and watched ships go by and cars over the bridge, if you felt the urge. That"s how something like this was caught on film as it happened. Hope this helps!
So many “accidents” lately. Massive train derailment, water turns deadly, chickens dying, fires that seam to know where to hit first, planes ripping out, ships taking down bridges that incidentally are a major food supply route, not to mention so many people dying of aggressive cancers, strokes or heart problems… so strange
thats what happens when youre a sheep that believes the medias fear mongering
Yes. It's almost like....the world is a dangerous and unpredictable place or something!
Can't even imagine how bad this could have been if this had been during the day time at rush hour.
Or, if it wasn't during Spring Break for the surrounding school districts or one of most celebrated religious weeks...
What a catastrophic event! My heart goes out for those lost in this tragic event. Followings are my observation: Frame 1:22- Ship loose power and continue to move in straight course. -No indication of Emergency generator coming back, which is supposed to be back less than half a minute. Frame 2.21-All the light of the ship come back which is an indication of Main Generator coming back. Frame 2.34- Black smoke appears from the chimney. This may be due to overloading of the generator caused by simultaneous start of many systems on the Ship. Frame 2.45- Ship starts turning to the starboard side. It seems that starboard side anchor was released and engaged causing the ship to turn. The turn is the beginning of the catastrophic event. Frame 3.28- Power goes off again. Possibly the generator trip due to overload trip as indicated by the color of the smoke. Frame 4.59- Last cars leave the camera view from the left side of the bridge. Frame 5.31- Ships bottoms touch the outer guard of the pillar of the bridge. Frame 5.33- Water splashes as the ships bow come in to contact with the outer guard of the pillar. Frame 5.39- Bridge start collapsing. Possibly the bow came into contact with the pillar after it over run the insufficient length of the guard.
The ship passed the bridge safely but hits the bridges when comeback, the ship was in reverse mode when hitting the bridge?
Why can't anyone on the internet spell lose correctly?
@@nandosmith9927That’s exactly what seen as well.
First of all my thoughts and prayers go out to those who lost their lives and their families. Watching this video I too was hoping that those vehicles crossing would speed up🙏🏾🙏🏾 But I have a question. Why was it that this ship “allegedly” lost power after it turned towards one of the bridges supports? This ship turned in that direction even though there was so much space to its left. The lights were still on just before impact! This video shows EVERYTHING!!
The ship dropped her anchor in an attempt to slow down. That had the unfortunate consequence of swinging her to starboard. My guess is the initial power outage did something to the controls and they could not slow her down the normal way so they tried using the anchor to do it. That'd when the captain sent the mayday.
Negligence pure and simple
I was across that bridge in the early 1990's. We were at a propane convention. Prayers for the people that fell off of it.
I'm glad you told us you were across in the 1990s. You got off in the nick of time. A propane convention sounds thrilling.

Sad, very unfortunate. We commiserate with the victims, and wish quick recovery to the surviving casualties.
By definition, there can be no surviving casualties.
@@robbase5235surviving casualty is an oxymoron
They meant injured survivors, I believe. There’s only two, I believe. One was severely injured, but the other walked away. Unless that person is gifted with an astounding degree of resilience, they will almost certainly struggle with PTSD for quite a while. I do have to say this here. I’ve seen some negative remarks about the fact that the crew was all immigrants. They’d necessarily all have legal status, as they worked for the state. However, legal status CAN include people who entered illegally as refugees. The vast majority of those people traveled on foot from Central America, through the one of the most brutal land routes in the Western Hemisphere. So, when I say that the survivors of the bridge accident might have PTSD, it’s also very probable that they actually have the mental resilience to shrug off such a tragedy. They’ve already experienced weeks and weeks of trauma and suffering, to get themselves and possibly their families, into the US. “Illegals” who came here via the land route from South America are some of the kindest, most chill, most delightful people I’ve ever known. Their resilience, generosity, and compassion was forged in the cruel mountain pass between South and Central America. We used to call this the “pioneer spirit” and celebrate it. It was a kind of forging and quenching that a lot of our ancestors experienced. Americans are “great” because of this periodic injection of forged people groups. We’re foolish to reject the refugees who represent the latest example of this unique strength of US culture. Refugees make us stronger. We should welcome and celebrate them. May the memories of the lost, be blessed.
Planned out to happen this way
My prayers and condolences to Baltimore 🙏
The ship seemed to be making some nonsensical swivel at the end there! If the ship had not tried to swivel left (for whatever reason), there would not have been any collision. Zoom in, The ship was riding clean at the start of this clip. Straight line, safe.That swivel caused the collision. Intentional? No idea, but there must be some kind of explanation for that. Seemed completely uncalled for. It was safe!
So heartbreaking. Prayers for all involved and their families 🙏🏾💔
Thank u for this💯 i prayed for every car i saw on that bridge 💯🫣
at 4:21 of the video we see the last two SUV/CARS crossing the bridge, (tractor trailers) were seen earlier . They make it past the bridge support (that does not collapse) we see on our left at 4:59. The ship hits the support at 5:33. It looks to me like they got the traffic stopped about a half minute B4 the ship hits. Nobody told the work crew of 8 souls??
Good question. I wonder how much danger they realized in the situation.
@@kathrynmcmorrow7170 I don't think the 8 workers on the bridge knew the ship was headed for one of the main supports. Being on the bridge, from their perspective, they could not see the support from where they were. We also don't know if the ship was blowing it's horn? I don't know if the horn even works if the power is off to the ship.
@@tomtransport They had to know at one point.
I wonder if they saw the smoke. The other handheld footage shows no horn sound.@@tomtransport
I don't know what's worse, bridges over water or tunnels under water.
I like to drink water but that’s as far as my relationship with water goes. Both terrifying.
@@dellenypritchard6674 You don't bathe?
Tunnels under water I think is more riskier. If they collapse, u got no chance. For bridges above water, u still have some chance of survival evident by the rescued 2 workers out of 8 who were on the bridge.
I’ll tell ya what’s worse…..no way across!

Living in the Bay Area in Northern California we have many bridges we cross all the time. I don’t remember ever thinking of the possibility of this type of disaster happening- but I know now it will be on my mind every time I’m on one of those bridges. 😮
At 2:23 the lights on the ship suddenly come on. I think that’s when they realized they would hit. You then see thick smoke from funnel. I imagine they try to make a maneuver to avoid the collision but too much inertia. Very sad.
If the lights hadn't come back on then there might've been time for the construction workers to get off the bridge. Very sad indeed.

Prayers are about as useful as that bridge is now for vehicle traffic.
I was on a baseball trip last summer and happened to take a boat cruise on the Inner Harbor and the Key Bridge was pointed out to us. So sad to think that lives were lost in that spot. 😢
I wonder if the ship kept "honking" its horn.. to warn anyone on the bridge of an impending collision..
What strikes me most (as a Dutchman) that, from what I can see on satellite imagery, there appears to be no protection at all around the bridge pylons.
boy aint no protection stopping an Eiffel tower sized 100,000 tonne ship
@@leonidasofsparta1431 Well, you can, but that's just the way we usually design things. In The Netherlands we usually do protect structures against large vessels and usually to such a point that it won't prevent all damage in the worst case possible, but does prevent catastrophic failure. Mind you that such protection isn't just a hard stopper right before the object to be protected, but usually is a deflecting kind of protection: way before the object that should be protected from catastrophic failure, it already starts, meaning vessels can only cross under a bridge when adhering to specific paths (and if a vessel is low in the water due to its load, it can mean that vessels can only use the absolute center of a waterway underneath a bridge). Should a vessel lose control, it is basically guided into the set waterway, just like the guard rails on a motorway.
@@weeardguywell this is america. protecting the bridge pylons no doubt costs a lot of money so it wasnt done
@@MattMajcanit cost more to not have it done like seen, now they have to build a new bridge
Is anyone questioning the fact that this bridge was built 3/23/77 and was dropped 3/26/24 that’s a real coincidence or is it??
This is one of the reason I don't like bridges
No conspiracy theories , that vessel turned hard to starboard shortly before impact. Not just forward momentum , current and drift, there was some form of steering input to make that turn possible
Nope, it wasn't moving forward fast enough to turn that much with the rudder. However, if you THINK about it... in a current, with the bridge pillar blocking part of the flow, the other part of the ship exposed to the current would be pushed sideways.... but you know... that's just logic...
Most likely alien lizard humanoids operating that ship, it was obviously intentional retribution for faking the moon landing
For those wondering why the vessel wasn't heading "straight" when it lost power, please understand that rivers have currents and varying depths. The important thing to understand was that nothing could get this vessel back on track except full power and navigational control.
Bro it literally lost power for like 2 seconds, and then made the sharpest turn ever toward the pillar. Why did the ship speed up when it lost power?
@@JETalleybro...the...you know, depth changed...and there was like a water current. Trust the science!
@@JETalley It had just said goodbye to its two tugboats a few minutes before it lost power. Companies don't like to pay the tugs to guide the massive container ships too far. The important thing to remember is mass times velocity. A 200 million pound vessel traveling about 9 MPH lost navigational control and engine power just minutes before it reached the bridge. They even called the tugs to come back, but it was too late. There was no speeding up.
So apparently the ship was traveling at 9.2 knots… 8 mph. Explain how it stopped abruptly after hitting the bridge. I don’t think a bridge would stop that ship, when traveling that speed.
It clearly does
Adjust your tin foil hat
From 4:34 was the last car on the video to 5:35 it took a minute for the ship to hit the bridge.. I heard the captain called in 5 minutes before it happened.
The problem looks to be that the lights went off briefly, and then back on for a few minutes, and finally off again. Had they not come back on then they probably would've called the mayday a few minutes earlier and the message would've been passed onto the construction workers earlier. Not saying that the construction workers would've lived as they hadn't even started to drive away but they would've had a couple more minutes. A couple of minutes in the context of this situation is vital.
The ship had electrical/ power issues just before the impact
DC native here! Never visited Baltimore but i'm sad i'll never get to cross this bridge. Well, the original version. Horrible! My condolences, and may God grant comfort and peace to the families!!
