How did the cargo ship crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore?

Has anyone seen those few lucky cars and lorries passing through before the collapse? Bro, bet they ain’t crossing any bridge for a while 🤔

Why, especially with a bridge in the channel, are these ships not guided in and out by tugs? Seems such a simple precaution to take.

After I see this I will always have my windows open when I’m driving over a bridge. Rain sleet snow, condolences for all the families that lost their loved ones.

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 never started!!!

The ship was going in the right direction n had more than space to go under the bridge n go where it supposed to go, but instead it take a turn into the bridge just seems like set up to me. Now we will have to build this damn bridge over. Rip to the ppl who died

Seems rather fishy to me

The black smoke indicates that the captain tried to stop the vessel, full throttle in reverse. That caused the ship’s aft to move to port, and its bow towards the pillars of the bridge. The attempt to stop, at full throttle was wrong. Instead, the captain should have gone forward, keeping pressure on the rudder, steering away from the pillars. Unfortunately, he made the wrong decision…….

I'm just here for the Conspiracy theories

Never a boring day on planet earth!

For losing power that's a sharp turn

Irony: Salvador DALI painting 🖼 Broken Bridge. The ship's name is DALI.

Did anybody get breathalyzed?

Prayers to the lives lost .

Big bloody boat hit it that's what caused it

But why were they so close to that pillar in the first place? It looks like they were already super close to it when the power went out the first time. Why????

How did the ship make that sharp of a turn tho?

Imagine what it's like for the people who cross the bridge just in time to avoid death. They must think wow if I had just left one minute later than I did...

Video taken by drones in daylight shows that all four concrete pillars were snapped off at the base where they trancend into the solid river-bed concrete slab. Pay close attention to the ship collision with bridge's pillars. At the moment of "impact" it seems like the four inclined pillars are all demolished at their base simultaneously. Plumes of concrete dust can clearly be seen shooting away from each other. Not just on the side where the ship hits, but strangely also on the side facing away from the impact point.

Could have easily been prevented if the captain steered around instead of trying to stop. Based on the big swing at the rear.

Looks like the captain dropped his anchor to hopefully avoid this but he was too close an it swung the boat into it.
