Now we have to wait patiently for Brick Immortar to make a video about this
-
Well this footage gives a better feeling for the scale of this disaster.
-
One reason why huge container ships like Dali are so economical to operate is that they are powered by a single, massive engine. Lose that engine and the ship loses the ability to navigate. New bridges are expensive. Perhaps it is time to mandate that similar ships must be escorted by two tugs when passing under vulnerable infrastructure.

Thank you for showing this. I live in Southern Arizona and can't grasp the full reality of what this must look like in person.

This footage shows the Port hook (anchor) was dropped, but at 8 knots, it would be like trying to stop your car with your foot on the freeway. Blessings to the families of the lost.

As a Floridian, this is a stark reminder of the 1980 disaster in Tampa Bay, though the casualties were much more severe. A Greyhound bus and its passengers were among the casualties in that tragic and avoidable incident.

Wow this really shows the scale
-
Sensational footage. Thank you so much.

... Thankfully the authorities had a couple of minutes to alert the right people to stop traffic in both directions before they reached the bridge, or this would have been a lot worse. It's going to make the already notoriously terrible traffic in the Baltimore area, a complete nightmare for a long time. It's a real shame and it goes to show, you just never know when a total catastrophe will strike... R.I.P. to those who lost their lives. π’

bruh that lone safety cone πππ Incredible footage honestly. My brain can't really process the scale of this; it looks more like my 3yr old nephew just played with his toys than it does reality. Thanks for capturing and sharing this!

these tragedies are always a stark reminder that even though we think we build tough things that seem like a fortress of invicibility and protection, things that seem like they'll always just "be there" - those things are really quite fragile in the grand scheme of things.
-
A big part of the problem is that these old bridge abutments were never designed with the thought of ships the size of small cities hitting them. That just wasn't a thing back then. And they're only getting bigger.

I was out fishing on a small boat by port of Miami when one of these bad boys came right by. I felt like a speck of sand looking up at Mount Everest.

Would not want to be the propulsion system engineers or maintenance people of that company
-
Thank you for taking time to post this amazing footage. Good luck and best wishes.
-
Excellent footage to give the clear idea about how it happened. Gr8 job.
-
Don't read the comments. Too many piloting experts and people who don't understand physics.
-
My condolences to the friends, family, and co-workers of those that lost their lives. You are missed.
-
I thought the Sunshine Skyway would have taught us this lesson. Those transmission lines have more shipping protection than the actual bridge.

Heard about it and saw the collision footage all day, but this illustrates it on a completely different level...wow.
