- The bridge collapse that has indefinitely halted the flow of ships in and out of the Port of Baltimore could hurt the local economy, strain supply chains and scramble deliveries along the US East Coast. CNN's Matt Egan reports. #CNN #News
That company should pay for the bridge, compensate the families and the city for loss
That will take years of legal proceedings
That's what liability/accident insurance is for. It's also quite difficult to sue a company based in another country.
Make better bridge
I wouldn’t want to be the insurance company of the errant vessel.
me same don't want to be insurance company of the errant vessel
Fun Fact: there are roughly 56,000 bridges in The US that are expired/outdated and are driven across daily.
@ThreatActor-1337Learn some grammar. Wtf did you even say?
240 000 bridges are over 50 year old , wont much matter if its 100 year old and over engineered , but after 1950s bridges were build having a 50 year life span
60 000 bridges in US are dangerous and total amount of bridges in US is a bit over 600 000,
This bridge had no protection near pylons , ship was not escorted by tugboats , or have a pilot onboard
After Exxon Valdez , all tankers in that shipping lane need tugboat escort and after Suez accident , nothing was done ...thought and prayers dont fix anything !
@ThreatActor-1337 Bridge was build under Gerald Ford and ALL republiklans vote against infrastructure bill.
Mothman, anyone?
The ship was from Indonesia right? There is your problem! With the way their eyes are squinted, they can hardly see!
Companies are salivating at the prices they will increase even if they’re not affected by the situation
It mainly will affect Baltimore. They will have to go to another port till they clear the bridge out of the bay.
That should take a couple weeks ,possibly less
The ship company needs to pay the full price
The video says no. Rewatch
Biden is just writing a check..and make it go away.. they don’t want you hearing the Baltimore Democrats defunded police, port authorities, marine units, underwater recovery units, harbor shipping contractors (Tugs,etc)
Maybe you should wonder WHY the Gov is insisting on paying for it
They are, the Government will do it now instead of waiting years for the repairs with insurance. The company will be making payments for all of the bridges construction but to get the job done instantly the Government will put the cost up as a loan with interest.
First of all, there isn't enough money in the shipping company or it's insurance company to get this job underway any time soon. They will fight and declare bankruptcy before paying for anything. The government needs to pay and coordinate to get the process started otherwise this will take 30 years.
If you build brdges for a living you've just won the lottery.
Tell that to the six that lost their lives!
Excellent report! The detour for the traffic will be time consuming I'm sure.
The port will be re-opened quickly. The bridge will take much longer, but that won't keep the port closed.
Someone start a Ferry business?
I hear Colin Jost and Pete Davidson have one sitting at a dock.
@@damham5689 its here on staten island, and they may be about to get rid of it. It cost too much to fix
don't want
this isn’t an infrastructure issue. no bridge structural upgrades is stopping that ship.
Actually there is. Most modern bridges are built with a structure called a "dolphin". Dolphins are similar to "artificial islands", but are made to deform and absorb hits, rather than deflect them. An example of a bridge that used this system when it was rebuilt is the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.
While it's not absolutely certain that a large enough dolphin could have stopped this specific cargo ship, there's a very reasonable chance that it could have.
Benko is 100% correct.
A wider bridge probably would.
I guess that bridge should have been already demolished and replaced with a state of the art bridge 15 years ago
@@clementbonelli2882 the width of a bridge doesn't have that much to do per say with this. A hundred thousand tons are a hundred thousand tons. A direct hit would bring down pretty much any bridge. That's why we build bridge protection systems, to prevent direct collisions.
Structurally the bridge was fine, no need to replace it. It is also a relatively new bridge, by "bridge" standards, only completed in 1977.
What the bridge could have used were better bridge protection systems, like dolphins (not the animal, structural feature).
@@MikeBenko are these islands closer to land or can they be set up in the middle where waters deeper ?
I hope the boat owner has a multi billion dollar insurance policy because the are going to need one to rebuild the bridge.
That is not what is going to happen... the shipping company and it's insurance company will just file for bankruptcy and fight it for years and years. The government absolutely needs to pay to get this process underway immediately otherwise nothing will happen for the next ten years.
@@nychris2258 You're awful free with tax payers money. If there's not enough insurance money they will have to file bankruptcy. Then the asset should be seized, Such as all their ships and liquidated by the bankruptcy courts trustees.
@@johndanenberg217 "You're awful free with tax payers money."
tens of thousands of jobs, and massive economic impacts are currently on the line.
this is exactly the sort of thing the government needs to take care of.
this is what they did with 9/11, or the earthquake in san fran, or hurriicane katrina.
this bridge isn't nearly as bad as any of them, but it's along those same lines of massive impact.
probably they will simply fine Maersk a tremendous amount of $$, depending on what the investigation reveals.
@@johndanenberg217American dollars paying for an American bridge, built by American workers, designed by American engineers to protect American jobs.
A human tragedy of course, but the money is going to American people which helps the American economy.
@@WilliamEeles you sound like a cultist not as an American that's for sure. Talk a big game but you sit on you butt and watch.
How vulnerable is America? For important structures like this where is the plan B?
plan "B" is in the basement
Who was in charge of the ship's bridge the time of the incident? Was it the port pilot who normally come on board to help navigate the ship inward or outward ports or was it the ship's captain himself?
Clear the waterway first then worry about the bridge
Tell that to the entire city that will now grind to a halt. Supply lines, infrastructure, its insane how unprepared the American infrastructure is for these kinds of things.
That's exactly what they are going to do, and exactly what Secretary Pete said they are doing.
Clearing the water way could take months. Steel beams used in bridge construction can be very heavy not to mention divers will have to cut every single piece then raised out the water. Then there is the danger a diver faces working in murky and moving water current. It will be done but at a painstakingly slow rate.
yes really
Always an excuse to raise prices.
You got that right this administration is loving this so they got something to blame more inflation on.
You have to admit it is a legitimate one.
Imagine being this ignorant. It's a major port and a very used bridge. Do you think the food in the store you go to just teleports there?
@@akselmani no but it's take about 72 hours to clean the bridge out the way get stuff moving then worry about the bridge rebuild. I don't think I'd be eating out those containers I bought couple off line their pretty dang nasty inside for food containers.
@@KoolaidfordemocratsfreeThat's not how markets and commerce works tho.
finally getting a sequel to season 2 of the wire
Imagine the havocs occur on the bridge control room before the ship hit that bridge
We should pay the initial cost to have it up then bill the company later its dumb to do it any other way
Dude... There are procedures for these things. Insurance companies will battle back and forth over this for the next 10 years. It will be into the billions. Whats amazing is that it only took ONE nudge by a boat to completely strangle one of Americas largest cities. There is no plan B. For ANYTHING in the US.
That's literally what they are doing.
@gloriouslumi I know dumb ass I'm commenting in support of the plan if you took 10 seconds to read the thread you'd see the opposition to this plan I swear I hate knowing you can vote
Just a suggestion, in the future don't release the tugboat till the cargo ship clears the bridge.
There is a relatively narrow channel through the center of the Patapsco River which is deep enough to allow large ships such as container ships, cruise ships and car carriers to pass. So clearing that pathway of debris could allow the port to reopen, even as crews continue to work to remove other debris that fell into the river.
To me It looks as if the cargo was stacked so high on the ship that the person driving the ship could not see over the cargo. The company tried to save money by stacking up as much cargo as possible so that they do not have to make an extra trip.
Its INCREDIBLE how voulnerable American infrastructure is. ONE flimsy bridge flops and falls over by a single nudge by a ship, and then the whole city grinds to a halt.
A fully loaded cargo ship isn't stopping for any bridge we could ever design. Look at the SIZE of the thing. It's a mountain on water once it gets moving, and this one was fully loaded. The force required to destroy that pier is FAR more than you are giving it credit. No yacht, schooner, or ferry would be able to do that. But once you start getting into the cruise boat and heavier class ships you start exceeding the limits of current engineering and material sciences. It's physics. Even the stanchions being fitted to the other bridge mentioned probably would not have been enough to prevent this accident.
It was a 100 thousand ton ship going 7 plus knots. That isn’t a nudge.
@@jackn8458
Oh, sure. But the entire bridge went. There should be fail safes. Things you hit before the actual bridge. There is just no plan B here.
They say it every year and Congress / State Government does nothing.
Gee perhaps guards around the bridge would have been cheaper? Protecting the bridge from something like this is super easy and cheap to do yet here we are?
I’m sure many engineers and others warned the authorities that this critical bridge didn’t have adequate sacrificial stantons but they were all ignored because of the cost!! Well, it’s sure going to cost now in both lives and dollars. There is no excuse in 2024 for a ship hitting a bridge support like this one did, none !! 🇬🇧💙💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏🇬🇧
Meh, some expert engineers have said that even if there were such structures, a ship that big with that much tonnage traveling at 8.7 knots would have taken it down anyway.
Simpler than all that is requiring that class of vessel to keep the tugs alongside until they are out past those bridges.
@@dreamcoyoteRubbish, in the UK the concrete is shaped to guide the ship past the support. The next bridge along from this on has such defensive stantons, why didn’t this one?? 🇬🇧💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏🇬🇧
the entire US has been WAY behind in repairing and upgrading infrastructure.
it was so bad trump had infrastructure week ever week while he was president.
and yet still couldn't pass a bill. the first real infrastructure bill in a long time passed in 2022 or so, and i'm positive that's only a small fraction of what needs to be done.
if you wanna assign blame for this fiasco, i'm pretty sure you could put all the US politicians in a stadium and throw a stone and not miss somebody responsible.
i will, however, emphatically say that none of this is my fault.
i didn't do it, wasn't there, have an alibi.
@@polygonalmasonary Because we finally elected some decent people into office and passed an infrastructure bill to do that only a couple years ago. Stuff takes time.
WHY was it SOOOO PACKED?
Why was the boat going in that direction?
That boat belongs to Maersk, right? Maersk - or their insurers - owe us a lot of money.
Sue the f out of them
There are layers, but the shipping contract was under Maersk, who hired an operator to run the ship which was owned by someone else.
That is going to take years of legal proceedings
No they do not own the ship.
Not really.

Dumb people with dumb comments.
The bridge collapse that has indefinitely halted the flow of ships in and out of the Port of Baltimore could hurt the economy, strain supply chains and scramble deliveries along the East Coast.
The Port of Baltimore said in a post on X that vessel traffic was suspended until further notice, but trucks were still being processed at its terminals.
Closer to the Midwest than any other port on the East Coast, Baltimore is a major hub for vehicles, containers and commodities.
Car dealer Ernie Boch, Jr. says his latest shipment of cars got out of Baltimore just before the bridge came down.
CNN any updates to YOUR "Bat Soup" story? 😂😂😂
Watch the channel 'what's going on with shipping " to hear an expert analysis from the type of guy who should be Transportation Secretary.
Will bridge tolls increased across the country?
Good question 🙋🏼♂️
Dumb question. Learn about tolls.
@@jamesc7894 my point was tolls are being increased every year but infrastructure isn’t upgraded. Just low maintenance
Saratoga?
4:01 because taxpayers have been paying for all of everything they shouldn’t have been paying for anyway!
Didn't know Boeing made ships. 😂
Maybe the ships so old
Wheres the update on those missing, anything??
There were 8 workers working on the bridge at the time
2 were rescued
2 bodies were recovered
4 people still missing. (Likely deceased under the wreckage)
Hey, how about helping finish the new bridge in Corpus Christi so we can start allowing bigger ships to come in to our ports? That could help too. They have been slowly working on that bridge for the past like 4 years.
The bridge was a mistake made by Army Corps of Engineers in 1970s. There is (was?) a policy not to build a bridge in such a way and place that if it collapsed would block traffic in and out of the port. The Roosevelts (esp. Eleanor) used it to block Robt. Moses from building Brooklyn- Battery Bridge in 1940s.
These industries should keep regulating themselves right? Trains ships planes no federal regulations needed, they’re doing a great job themselves
i wish all the Victims have good luck🙏🙏🙏🙏
Baltimore is going to need another five hundred billion soon.
No bumpers ??? It’s a major port ! Makes no sense
Bridge was really poorly developed.
Whatever money the state budget had for that bridges maintenance should be diverted to reconstruction also.
The feds will pay for it
@@QuarioQuario54321 please add "initially" for all the folks who assume the shipping operating and their insurers won't pay anything :)
$195 million every day losses 😮
That devastating?! I sure do hope this was an accident.
Ok, you can not protect a bridge from a huge ship like that. But why did the whole bridge collapse ? That should have been avoided.
Your two legs hold your entire body up. Imagine someone coming and knocking one of your legs off, your entire body would fall to the ground.
Seems like, depending on where you watch, everyone is talking about everything except how and when the shipping company is going to start paying to remove the old bridge and build the new one. So far it sounds lile US taxpayers are going to once again pay for the damage a corporation does.
Nawp. That is not how it is going to work.
The insurer will pay a chunk of money to many who are impacted, including the ships stuck in Baltimore until the way is clear. Yesterday, later in the same day as the accident, specialists were coming in to start looking at the river and start planning to clear way and eventually remove all the debris. It will take a few weeks to even come up with the plans. The Fed (and Maryland) will kick in money to have that start right now instead of waiting for court cases to finish. The Fed will get a chunk of that money back but in two years+? The corporations will also pay higher bills getting these vessels into and out of ports because the tugs will (I assume) be required to follow them all they way out into the bay in Baltimore, for decades, and possibly in other ports with similar risks as well.
Shipping companies have insurance for these types of incidents (and the insurers will fight the numbers). If there is negligence involved, then... well the money still comes out of the operator and insurer but the breakdown will change.
It will take a few months to clear the way to the port (most critical) and a few years to build a new bridge (sucks for locals but, there are at least alternate routes). The Fed kicking in funding now makes a huge difference in the timelines.
The country can’t wait for a company to take care of this. The government needs to fix this ASAP.
@@dreamcoyote when that overpass in philly collapsed, they had the whole thing rebuilt in record time.
i think if they really put their minds to it, clearing the channel will be faster than your estimate.
remember, this is BIG BUSINESS that's suffering. so the whip will be cracked.
I don't know which video you watched but the video on which you comment ask that very same question at 4:05 and the answer was given as to why it will be paid before waiting to see who should pay, how much and when.
@@vforwombat9915 My uneducated guess is that they will have smaller vessels out of Baltimore in 2-3 months and these large cargo ships doing their first actual runs in/out in like 4 months. There will still be debris to the side, but the central lane will be reopened pretty quickly, as you said. It will still take a few weeks to come up with plans to remove that debris in the middle and to make sure the cargo/cargo ship doesn't dump awful stuff into the river/bay. It's likely that ship will need to be partially unloaded before it can be moved safely and that alone will take a couple of weeks.
Another uneducated guess is that in two months they will claim the bridge will be rebuilt in 2-3 years but it will actually take 4. Part of that disparity is that there is only one way into the port, but drivers can suffer with longer routes until the bridge is done.
no such thing as a gold standard with diagnosis.
I feel sorry for all the workers that are about to be fired due to piss poor protections. This is likely millsions of people who will be oit of work. Not just at the port but all the business that rely on the port or vice versa.
If the US can't figure out how remove the dead bridge quickly we are doomed.
Some heavy lift barge cranes and some divers and they should be able to open channel very quickly
@@alangeddes268 Yet they havent. Almost like this was planned to continue to cripple us.
@@alangeddes268 let's hope. they gotta extract the ship from the bridge first, a huge chunk is sitting on the ship. which means they probably gotta make sure the ship is safe to move, reports say there's a tear in the hull.
so, remove the bridge from the ship, inspect and move the ship, remove the bridge sections - possibly trying to preserve them for the investigation, then remove the debris, then dredge the channel.
plus look for the bodies and make sure they account for everyone who owned the cars that fell.
figure at an absolute minimum, at least 1-2 weeks.
They will ponder this for the next 7 years. Trying to figure out who is to blame and what to do. And one party will fight the other party, dragging it out forever. It took 11 years to fix New York after 911
@@alangeddes268the type of equipment needed for this, the U.S. doesn’t have. It’ll have to get here from the Netherlands
Amazing how all you gripe about is $$$$ when they still have not pulled the men from the water? Real classy cnn
They will get the channel cleared extremely fast.
When money is at stake people will work extremely fast
Here's hoping they find an alternate way of bringing in ships to the ports. If they can't, it'll be bad for a large number of people.
The Singapore-flagged container ship (Dali) had previously been involved in a minor incident in Belgium's Port of Antwerp.
The accident, which did not cause any injuries, occurred during good weather and "was caused by the mistake of the Master and pilot on board." The Dali remained afloat after the incident and was subsequently repaired.
Separately, an inspection of the Dali in San Antonio, Chile, in June last year found propulsion and auxiliary machinery deficiencies.
Danish shipping giant Maersk has confirmed it chartered the Dali.
BUT AMERICANS WILL PAY.
Bring in the US Army Engineers, some tugboats and some Chinook helicopters and some navy vessels and some good Ironworkers and work 24/7 and get a channel opened up for port operations to continue. It won't be easy but it needs started ASAP. Also, US needs to make immediate changes to US port/bridge security to all vessels coming and leaving US ports!
100k tons is 200m lbs not 2m

Short answer? When their insurer starts getting actual bills.
The pubic record of mechanical and structural deficiencies the container ship had listed by other countries, its obliviously the ship owners didn't care about safety, only money!
Oke this is my view as having worked in the construction industry in Europe and been into civil works :
1 this is a 1 in an x ( malfunction ) event , it happens , machines fail , that should not be the blame for an inferior designed peace of infrastructure , and yes inferior because it failed , it did not live up to one of its function criteria , ea a bridge should not fall down.
2 this accident could have been prevented ,which is the saddest fact.
lives were lost because of stupid mistakes and shortcuts that were made , possible because of economical circumstances. there is evidence all around this bridge to show it.
3 those pears are not efficiently enough protected.
Not enough for the port they serve and the ships that frequent the area.
4 the people that own / maintain the bridge and the channel know this.
we know because those power poles were protected ( and are apparently more of economic value then the bridge ) , and when that was done the bridge should have been retrofitted as soon as possible , it therefor shows there was a fear of collision but for some strange reason persons did not want act om this and found the danger apparently not note worthy enough or not of economical importance.
5 you dont need to protect the bridge for a head on collision , you need to make sure that a ship this size cant get close to its vital parts such as supports and deck etc , ea that protrusions of the ship cant pert-rude far enough over the protective measures as to endanger the structure ea top of the vessel does not hit the road deck , bow does not hit supports etc .
6 There is a clear failing in the authority that maintains this area otherwise this would not have happened.
When it comes to blame culture... to me its disgusting that ea heads of government dont own up to mistakes that are clearly made and trie put the blame on others part from themselves just not to lose face and gloss over this fact every time it comes up in interviews and say we will rebuild soon
in my eyes its disrespectful for the people that have lost lives or that have been traumatized by this event. At least the people on the ship have the guts to say something went wrong , but government does not want to admit fault because they know far to whel that they are up the creek without a paddle.... Even if that ship did not do what it did they would still be at fault.
its distasteful and disrespectful.
7 As someone from Europe i find strange and somewhat unsettling that apparently electrical (equipment) security is more economical worth while then a bridge of this magnitude and the lives it transports( ed) every day since its opening.
This is far harder to replace then those better protected power poles.
as someone in the construction field this makes no sense to me part from the economical burden which is now far more heavy then if this bridge was fitted withe a better or even similar protective structure around its vital and load bearing structure ea pilons as was done to other bridges like the golden gate.
Im deeply saddened by the fact this can happen in 2024 when we can land giant rockets from space and stream the data and visuals live to millions.
this should not happen. this is not allowed to happen. get your act together please .
Thank you
Please Read: whatever you think of politics, this is a Secretary of Transportation drawing on historical sources to address a rare disaster… does that make you think?
Who paid for the barge to run into the bridge.
This feels like a setup, like the Panama Canal closure, Chinese spy balloons, and now another major shipping artery closed.

According to Biden yesterday he intends for the US taxpayers to pick up the tab to rebuild the bridge 100%.

Was the captain driving the ship drunk or high?
Ships have at least 3 generators, each with the capacity to supply energy. Only an idiot would set sail with one.

Many are thinking this was intentional. Why would the FBI appoint a newbie to quickly address that it wasn't an terrorist attack. Also what is the legal status of those who lost their lives. Why haven't the ones who survived come forward. A worker falls into the drink, 50 or more feet, gets fished out, walks away and doesn't seek medical help. Id at least get checked out. That had to hurt and rattle his brain a bit. Why did it take Mayor Pete over 14 hrs to travel 40 miles He could have walked faster. Something is amiss in all this. Come on Journalists ask questions.
Maybe it was a martian terrorist group sent to earth to stop Elon (they dont want him either) Maybe they rigged the bridge to fall down. The ship being there was just a coincidence ?
It happened *YESTERDAY*. Why are you demanding victims go on TV? What does their legal status have to do with anything?
Why does the secretary need to be there at all? Are you expecting him to shovel something? At the 6am news conference, a little over 4 hours after the accident, the mayor said that he had already talked to Buttigieg and had been told that all federal assistance would be ready when asked for. THAT Is what is needed, not another stupid GOP style photo op. Why do you all love photo ops so much? They were always ridiculed in the past. It's a STUPID QUESTION. Going to the border and having your picture taken pointing at a river doesn't make you an expert on the border. Hint: we have phones and email now 🙄
The people who think this is intentional watch too many movies and want to be edgy. They have stated that, while they will still investigate this, *at this time* there are no signs this was intentional. So no, no one needs to tweet from their toilet that IT MITE BE CHYNA!!!

Probably the WEF ?😅
Was this a Chinese ship???
Nuclear and chemical weapons have been lost many times so far. Some of them are still in the ocean and if they explode we will have a shortage of drinking water. We are forced to drink irradiated and poisonous water throughout our lives, and we get cancer or other diseases. The number of these weapons and nuclear power plants is still increasing in the world
Finland can help in the accident investigation, to find the culprit. (Russia)🤣
we need to built higher bridges like China and railway
Explain how a higher bridge would stop a ship from running into a pylon?
This is the part that really excites the media. OOH LOOK HOW BAD IT’LL BE FOR ALL OF YOU!!!
You get so giddy seeing the numbers and facts of the major screw up. You guys never research on how it gets fixed or how it gets better you just say “look how your lives are gonna suck hah”. You aren’t even talking about the companies responsible for this. One mention in the last 24 hours that it belonged to Synergy Group. One mention of it having the flag of Singapore.
Play the song key wrote fix the bridge! This is the us
I am blaming Russia and Putin, and Chine for good measure.
This smells fishy to me
Why in the hell did Biden come out and say that the government, i.e.,you and me,is going to pay for repairs? The owner of the ship bears full financial responsibility.
Joe Biden doesn't know what he's talking about. Joe doesn't even know what planet he's on.
Because like they just explained in this video that bridge and that poor is very important to the US economy so it’s probably better to get that shit moving as quickly as possible then go through insurance which maybe they can collect on later anyways
The government needs to get this done NOW because it will affect the economy RIGHT NOW. You are talking about something that could be handled later (in court or whatever).
Because Joe has NO IDEA what PLANET he's on.
Because they will take 2-3 years to pay up and work needs to start *now* on clearing the way. Specialist contractors are already onsite gathering data to generate proposals.
Just like how FEMA stepped in immediately in Ohio, providing housing for evacuees. It's something where money can be recouped later to repay what is being done now.
