Rescuers are searching for survivors after a ship hit the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore and caused it to collapse. CNN's Gabe Cohen reports from the scene. #CNN #News
It's sadly not a rescue mission anymore. People don't survive under water for hours. If you haven't found anyone in the first couple of minutes, then there's sadly nobody left alive.
This is a sad day here in Baltimore! My prayers 🙏 go out to the families as well! This was absolutely mind boggling to wake up to this morning! To all the families directly involved I pray your strength to get through this awful tragedy! Peace 🕊️
If there were a god no point praying about it. All seeing all knowing let it happen on purpose so effectively this comment is spitting in the face of your own god. Try to apply some logic how about condolences and best of wishes not overtly offensive to you're psychotic uber lord and the non theist's of the world.
Unfortunately the death toll is probably greater than seven. (former rescue/recovery diver here). If you are in a car on the bottom then it is a recovery at this point. They can call it a 'rescue' but that is for the (cold) comfort to families. The reality is that there is nobody left alive under water.
@@-DM dude if a car is at the bottom of the port, its full of water, the vessel that the cook was on had rooms, areas air pockets can form, Cars dont have that.
No vehicle lights pass over the bridge at the moment of collision, though this video doesn't show the full span of bridge at the time of impact, unlike other video record I have viewed, have a look for your self, dont take Corp media speal
For those poor people who were on that bridge and went into the water, that would have been a terrifying and painful way to die. So sorry that happened to them. RIP
It’s terrible! One second you’re driving down a bridge and a few seconds later the bridge collapses and your car dives into the river. Some people doing their jobs until all of a sudden without warning they weren’t. So sad 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@tonyryan9416 it's halpes a lot if he had engine failure. Dude it's not like he was in the middle of the ocean and hit something in the fog. It's a port that have marked averything no matter day or night.
I'm so sorry for anyone hurt or killed, and those left behind, after this horrible accident in Baltimore. With honest prayers and my best wishes for the people of Maryland and USA, from Alv here in Norway.

How this happened on a clear night with a pilot on board in such a busy harbor is incomprehensible. The only fortunate thing is when this happened , early in the morning , as the death toll would have been some much worse at other times of day. Hoping that there are some miraculous rescues.
This bridge is a lot older and may not have had those installed. I can guarantee the replacement will have them. This is what happened to the original skyway bridge in Tampa in the 80s
The water is rough with high winds. If the ship lost power 🔋 like some are saying,it drifted into the column unintentionally. The pilot probably knew what was coming and couldn't do anything about it.
@@toothguy441 just so I know How does that change the fact that a huge major structure like an entire bridge could fall onto a ship like a smaller branch on a car in a windstorm? No matter what msm channel you watch

Yeah, that's why I stopped watvhing Main Stream news many years ago. Always trying for max sensationalism and pressing excessively the emotional side of the story at the expense of facts as we know them.
The ship lost power by the looks of it from the smoke and all the lights going out just before it hit. There were 2 pilots onboard. The only question is why 3 or 4 tugboats were not with the ship till it passed the bridge. They are the backup safety measure.
Trying to stop it could cause it to turn. It had dropped an anchor you can see from the shots. Wind could have been pushing it as it only takes a slight breeze to push ships off course. could have been currents. They will work it out. @@cosborne06
185 foot drop into 50 feet of water. This is a recovery operation at this point. Power loss on the ship is a huge part of the investigation. Sucks to be the ship captain with this on their head. Bigger question was why there not pilot tugs to make sure the boat was clear of bridge before allowing it to proceed under its own power. A push off the berth really is not enough to insure safe exit to sea.
It’s not a Shipping Container, Gabe. It’s a Container Ship. A container ship is a cargo ship that carries all of its load in truck-size intermodal containers, in a technique called containerization. Shipping containers are what sit upon and in a Container Ship. What horrible damage and prayers for the rescuers and those needing help.

Very sad, condolences to families and friends of deceased.

Some heads have to roll, and lawyers must be looking forward to a big case and pay day. Curious to hear that the White House is following developments closely - but what can it do that these rescue vessels, choppers and personnel cannot?
@@adrianovasconcelos2739did you not watch the video? The ship had plenty of clearance. It lost power due to a fire and in an effort to correct it, it careened into the support holding up the bridge. It has nothing to do with clearance.
@@sheilaboston7051 apparently somebody from the ship called and had the bridge shut down. So there were only construction workers on the bridge at the time, fixing potholes or something. Thank goodness the guy called in
I believe the context of the 1-3 hours was “before freezing to death.” At the time they were commenting very clearly on the temperature of the water as a major factor for any potential survivors being found. That would mostly apply to people who made it to the water’s surface or managed to climb out of the water into one of the remaining structures. Underwater the bigger factor would be air. Assuming somebody had sufficient air supply, then the temperature factor would come back into play.
As a longshoreman in the state of New Jersey seeing tug boats meet container ships when ships come from & to the piers!!!! We have a bridge also that gets crossed day & night!!! It’s crazy to me that there were no tug boats guiding the ship out. & this ship was just at my pier last Wednesday the Dali ship!!!
does the tug boat guide the ship and pulls it to clear open water ? So the ship doesn’t power up ?Sorry if this sounds stupid , I’m confused how this has happened and have zero shipping/boat knowledge 🏴✌🏻
@@STSauto yes so!! Once ships hit the channel they are order to turn off the engines and the tugs meet the Vessels at least 3 miles before it actually hit the channel. Where I’m @ in New Jersey we have a similar set up where ships cross our bridge to get to the piers!!!! which is called the Bayonne bridge! Tugs guide the vessels Right to the dock! After that the ship gets tied up
@@mrsjrenae4738 that’s the question! The ship wasn’t even aligned with crossing the bride it was headed straight for the Structure of the bridge!!! My co worker who has family in Baltimore just told me it was caption era!! The tugs were present but pulled back once the ship was in the clear!!! Ship lost power
@@craigdavidson4845sadly the fact that the media is all focused on rescue and not why after all these hours, I don’t think you are wrong. Not sure what technical failure could cause a boat to START moving. If anyone has an idea, I would be most interested.
A lot of people in the comments don’t seem to realize there was a repetitive onboard electrical failure which would affect navigating abilities and thatthe ship was leaving the harbour not entering
@@larryclark3886 if you watch the video, you can see the ship lose power, and as far as the wind goes, I would say, mother nature could definitely move that ship, only time will tell.
you guys are insensitive. Can u imagine someone you know might have been on that bridge and trying to find info, u come across these stupid KRplus comments of like, "yup, they dead, RIP, Nobody survived that, Recovery mission now" ffs. ye'all need Jeezus
No. No lawsuit. America depends on overseas shipping too much. Needs these shipping companies from other countries to come and go constantly because America doesn't manufacture anything itself anymore. Expect supply chain issues and costs of goods to go up in the Mid-Atlantic states. You'll all end up paying for this.
Really good to see all the people that were experts of deep sea submersible vessels and recue mission few months ago now enlighten us with their knowledge of bridge maintenance and structral engineering.
An unbeliever wont understand or will not understand the meaning or any meaning of "Lord have mercy" on us,love you my brother as i am quite sure that in your past life somehow you have experience atleast some of the Lords mercy but have forgotten all about His Great Mercy along the way,well i hope and pray that you might reach out to believe in HIS GREAT MERCY,IT IS REAL❤@@leonskum6864
Ship lost power, twice, watch the lights go out. Quick-start of power plant probably fouled the plant hence black smoke pouring out just before collision. Tugs would've been cast-off once the ship was pulled from the terminal and underway into the channel. Anchor dropped as she drifted out of the channel but, that's not going to stop a ship of that size given momentum and proximity to bridge.
Don't have to watch the footage, the ship announced it lost power beforehand in a mayday call. Which saved lives: it allowed them close the bridge so more cars weren't on it.
One question you news folks should be asking the USCG is: Was there a Baltimore pilot aboard? Was a Baltimore pilot required to transit that waterway? Was there any radio traffic sent from the ship that they lost command? Did the ship sound an imminent collision warning on the ship's whistle (to warn those on the bridge)? Has the ship's Captain and/or Pilot been located and detained for interview?
6 people still missing 12 hours after the Bridge collapsed. It's difficult to imagine that anyone in the water or trapped in a vehicle would still be alive after the time that's passed and the temperature of the water. I hope for the families and friends of those still missing that the news is good but its difficult to see how.
I don't wish to sound like a pessimist but with water at 47 degrees, a mangled bridge in the water and time going against the survivors as much as we all want to believe this to be a search and rescue operation, I believe we're in the search and recovery phase! In addition, a major piece of our state's economy has been severely disrupted, but for all the families affected, the people who have grown up with this beautiful bridge, those to have worked to maintain it throughout the years, you're not alone here, being a longtime resident of the state, I know the people of MD will come together to overcome this tragedy!
Not to sound unfeeling at all, but it makes me wonder regardless. They have all been referring to the vessel that hit the bridge as a "ship container". I thought it should have been called a "container ship", or years ago just a freighter. It is a 'ship' designed to carry 'containers', not the other way around. In the meantime, I can't think first here about anything other than the people on the bridge when it collapsed. And most heartfelt condolences and wishes of peace for those who have lost someone dear to them. A tragedy too hard to accept or believe. Blessings.
Sadly, this bridge was built before the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa collapsed from a very similar collision. After that collapse the standards for bridge supports were increased, but only for new bridges. They didn’t go back and retrofit pre-existing bridges because USA doesn’t care about infrastructure until after it fails.
@@eoinburke look up the Sunshine Skyway Bridge supports and compare them to the Francis Scott Key bridge. I’d link you photos but KRplus is weird about that.
All American bridges are unsafe, most of them will colapse due to bad maintenance, structure weakness and construction fails😢 R.I.P all victims, condolences from Brazil.
This point I agree, but there have been documented cases with people that drown, that were brought back long after the drowning occurred, due to the temperature of the water.
Yeah no excuse you mean that Asian captain? The company owned by Singapore. Wow here goes America again where Asian countries mess our country up. Nothing really comes good from any Asian country. The pandemics, bird flu diseases, pollution, counterfeit crap, cheaply made goods that don't last and more nothing good Prayers for the families
I doubt they will find him guilty of anything. The ship lost power when it was in a turn heading for the exit. When the power came back on, the engine started belching black smoke. The ship started drifting sideways, they dropped anchor to try to stop, but the anchor dragged. It looked like they couldn't regain control and the current + the momentum carried them into the bridge.
yeah I read all of that after I commented. He is still in for it, because there needs to be a scapegoat. Whether he deserves it or not. The whole thing is sad all the way around. It's be better if ALL the pertinent info was put into the news segment. @@josephr4761
The ship was cutting a Uturn headed out. Power went out on the ship and huge plume of BLACK SMOKE started to come out of the engine room. When power fails, so does steering. He dropped his anchors, he did all he could.
I hate how the news reports things like this. 7 people in the water 2 were reduced. But there's cars under water and search crews trying to save them. Anyone who was in a car, or went into that water that was not pulled out of the water by 2am is dead. There will be at least 100 people dead from the tragic accident. And shame on the MD Harbor pilot, couldn't even get the boat out of port without destroying a bridge and killing all those innocent people
The Dali is not a particular large container ship, its a very common post panamax class ... a 300m size which is around since the mid 90s. The real issue in this case is that the US simply has outdated infrastructure which for decades hasnt kept up with modern standards and requirements ... like protection of bridge pillars able to withstand/deflect such a common ship type, which does exist for ages. Blame the greed of the US when it comes to infrastructure investments, these ships are not the problem and that disaster could have easily been avoided by keeping up with standards for safety of bridges.
@@diedampfbrasse98 nonsense. These ships fly under foreign flags, are poorly maintained, using cheap foreign labor, and the owners are usually filthy rich who could care less about maintenance and avoid taxes and safety legislation by registering thier floating junk heaps where the marine rules can be flouted.
Seems odd to me that you would design a bridge with the intention for large ships to pass under it, but also design it to collapse like a house of cards when one of those ships hits it?? Yes its an older bridge, but people were not stupid back then... they might have been less afraid of liability verses cheapness though.
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
Strange how the ship kept losing power as it was approaching the column dead center. Tinfoil hat aside. What a terrible tragedy. RIP to the victims and their families.😢
At the start of the clip it was actually in the channel fine when it lost power. It drifted straight, it then restarted the engine which looked sick. Ive seen a few captains chime in, seems like the consencus with them is that the pilot put the ship into reverse to ring it to a stop with the engine dying, the prop spin combined with wind swung the bow around and the engine died again before they could fully stop the ship. The sad truth is, if thats what happened, it was the act of trying to stop the ship that doomed the bridge and if they hadnt restored power, we would be talking aout a ship striking fort carroll and getting stuck
Incredibly ignorent comment. If you smack a container ship right into the abutment of a bridge, shits gonna go down. Momentum doesn't care about how new or old something is.
It wasn’t tax cuts that did this… it’s a government that uses its finances poorly like funding endless wars or other peoples wars under the guise of “protecting democracy.”
Tax cuts? Baltimore? No. This sh!t hole has some of the highest taxes in the country. There are bridges built in the first centuries still in use. The key is not to funnel the money to your corporatist buddies and actually maintain the infrastructure.
That ship looks overloaded perhaps stop ordering crap products online reduce these ships shipping one day products. Also time to remove postal subsidies causing cheaper shipping than local mailing of packages
The forward tilt of the boat indicated by the paint line shows the immense weight of the bridge debris. With the current waves and wind, i'm surprised it hasn't shifted.
Really? Why don't you guys just report the news, instead of speculating. In bringing up terrorist all you do is put the idea in more peoples heads. I really get tired of just talking to be talking and woulda coulda shoulda. just report the dang news, actual news.
“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. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” John 3:16-18
The Chinese captain hit the base of the bridge. The ship was brought to port without pilots. Where were the pushers? What is the role of the pilot boat? A pilot boat is a type of boat used to pilot between land and ships arriving or leaving port.

As a longshoreman in the state of New Jersey seeing tug boats meet container ships when ships come from & to the piers!!!! We have a bridge also that gets crossed day & night!!! It’s crazy to me that there were no tug boats guiding the ship out. & this ship was just at my pier last Wednesday the Dali ship!!!
There HAD to be a tug boat somewhere.
does the tug boat guide the ship and pulls it to clear open water ? So the ship doesn’t power up ?Sorry if this sounds stupid , I’m confused how this has happened and have zero shipping/boat knowledge 🏴✌🏻
@@STSauto yes so!! Once ships hit the channel they are order to turn off the engines and the tugs meet the Vessels at least 3 miles before it actually hit the channel. Where I’m @ in New Jersey we have a similar set up where ships cross our bridge to get to the piers!!!! which is called the Bayonne bridge! Tugs guide the vessels Right to the dock! After that the ship gets tied up
@@mrsjrenae4738 that’s the question! The ship wasn’t even aligned with crossing the bride it was headed straight for the Structure of the bridge!!! My co worker who has family in Baltimore just told me it was caption era!! The tugs were present but pulled back once the ship was in the clear!!! Ship lost power
@@craigdavidson4845sadly the fact that the media is all focused on rescue and not why after all these hours, I don’t think you are wrong. Not sure what technical failure could cause a boat to START moving. If anyone has an idea, I would be most interested.
A lot of people in the comments don’t seem to realize there was a repetitive onboard electrical failure which would affect navigating abilities and thatthe ship was leaving the harbour not entering
Praying for everyone impacted by this tragedy😢
try not too late and your god let it happen so offensive and useless
The ship lost power and the strong winds moving from right to left pushed it into the bridge apparently , and at least it wasn’t rush hour.
Highly doubt the ship lost power. Winds aren’t pushing a ship this size. Someone wasn’t doing their job. The bridge should’ve been up.
up what? it's a fixed bridge. @@larryclark3886
@@larryclark3886 if you watch the video, you can see the ship lose power, and as far as the wind goes, I would say, mother nature could definitely move that ship, only time will tell.
@@larryclark3886 Its a 99.99% chance it did lose power as seen in the footage. Take a look at "Whats going on in shipping"
@@larryclark3886 why is there people still saying the ship didn't loose power when it's very clear by the videos that it did?
That skipper is effed for life
In what way?, he had 2 pilots on board, by the looks of it it was an engine failure, unless he killed the engines.
Yup, probably 3 people: master, watch officer, pilot.
He has to goto jail
Chief Engineer has some explaining to do ...
There's no one alive in their car if it's underwater... Just nonsense comment
Yea it's not a rescue, it's a recovery.
Submerged vehicles could have trapped air that allow occupants to breath. Also, people can breath air from the vehicle tires. I've seen it done on TV.
you guys are insensitive. Can u imagine someone you know might have been on that bridge and trying to find info, u come across these stupid KRplus comments of like, "yup, they dead, RIP, Nobody survived that, Recovery mission now" ffs.
ye'all need Jeezus
@@OWNERAdminUser I'm an Accident Reconstruction Expert. I've seen a lot of death in cars underwater. Take a chill pill
This makes you reconsider driving on any bridge. Horrible death.
There's NO way this wasn't done on purpose.
This is so tragic. Prayers for all involved😢
This is going to a very HUGE lawsuit..RIP to the innocent victims🙏🙏🙏
No. No lawsuit. America depends on overseas shipping too much. Needs these shipping companies from other countries to come and go constantly because America doesn't manufacture anything itself anymore. Expect supply chain issues and costs of goods to go up in the Mid-Atlantic states. You'll all end up paying for this.
Really good to see all the people that were experts of deep sea submersible vessels and recue mission few months ago now enlighten us with their knowledge of bridge maintenance and structral engineering.
Don't be frightened it's called an education.
Damn I hope people are found safe ❤ from the UK 🇬🇧
If it means anything but the collapse of the bridge happened at 1:30 AM when traffic was light. Imagine if this happened at high traffic times?
Very Sad this Bridge Collapsed Lord have Mercy on all those effected by this Tragedy.
An unbeliever wont understand or will not understand the meaning or any meaning of "Lord have mercy" on us,love you my brother as i am quite sure that in your past life somehow you have experience atleast some of the Lords mercy but have forgotten all about His Great Mercy along the way,well i hope and pray that you might reach out to believe in HIS GREAT MERCY,IT IS REAL❤@@leonskum6864

Prayers go out to all the families .
Ship lost power, twice, watch the lights go out.
Quick-start of power plant probably fouled the plant hence black smoke pouring out just before collision.
Tugs would've been cast-off once the ship was pulled from the terminal and underway into the channel.
Anchor dropped as she drifted out of the channel but, that's not going to stop a ship of that size given momentum and proximity to bridge.
Devastating event. Even the 'reporter' is overwhelmed with the "intense waves"
This is absolutely tragic
This is horrific!😢
if you watch the unedited video, it appears the ship lost power before the collision.
Msnbc doesn't show un edited videos.
Don't have to watch the footage, the ship announced it lost power beforehand in a mayday call. Which saved lives: it allowed them close the bridge so more cars weren't on it.
Construction takes years. Destruction takes seconds. This is why we cant have nice things.
Humans are a joke. Whatever so called God made us is utterly incompetent.
reconstruction won't have to take long, if they can stil use the existent bases.The one the container ship crashed in might be in question.
@@mariokringswon
r have to but it will. wait 2 c
That makes no sense.
Sounds like you had nice things that were destroyed. You'll have to buy more nice things.
That is just stunning 😮😢 that bridge was enormous 😮😢
Tragic! Heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families. Prayers for the search and rescue mission.
One question you news folks should be asking the USCG is: Was there a Baltimore pilot aboard? Was a Baltimore pilot required to transit that waterway? Was there any radio traffic sent from the ship that they lost command? Did the ship sound an imminent collision warning on the ship's whistle (to warn those on the bridge)? Has the ship's Captain and/or Pilot been located and detained for interview?
Probably years before they tell us anything.
Those are questions the NTSB is surely already asking. The idea that the media would have instant access to those answers is wishful thinking.
ship made a mayday call and people stopped traffic at either end of bridge. crew are still onboard.
@@user-zp4di9to6tWow! Amazing they had enough time to actually stop traffic. Lives were saved for sure!
@@eugenedebs9547make that hours, within a couple month there will be an accident report
The bridge is completely GONE! This was the portion over open water, the shipping channel was mid span.
А вы это хотели сделать с Крымским мостом!!!!
6 people still missing 12 hours after the Bridge collapsed.
It's difficult to imagine that anyone in the water or trapped in a vehicle would still be alive after the time that's passed and the temperature of the water.
I hope for the families and friends of those still missing that the news is good but its difficult to see how.
I don't wish to sound like a pessimist but with water at 47 degrees, a mangled bridge in the water and time going against the survivors as much as we all want to believe this to be a search and rescue operation, I believe we're in the search and recovery phase! In addition, a major piece of our state's economy has been severely disrupted, but for all the families affected, the people who have grown up with this beautiful bridge, those to have worked to maintain it throughout the years, you're not alone here, being a longtime resident of the state, I know the people of MD will come together to overcome this tragedy!
Not to sound unfeeling at all, but it makes me wonder regardless. They have all been referring to the vessel that hit the bridge as a "ship container". I thought it should have been called a "container ship", or years ago just a freighter. It is a 'ship' designed to carry 'containers', not the other way around.
In the meantime, I can't think first here about anything other than the people on the bridge when it collapsed. And most heartfelt condolences and wishes of peace for those who have lost someone dear to them. A tragedy too hard to accept or believe. Blessings.
Sadly, this bridge was built before the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in Tampa collapsed from a very similar collision. After that collapse the standards for bridge supports were increased, but only for new bridges. They didn’t go back and retrofit pre-existing bridges because USA doesn’t care about infrastructure until after it fails.
Container ships just eat into ports when they hit the concrete. I cant imagine any bridge support being able to withstand it.
@@eoinburke look up the Sunshine Skyway Bridge supports and compare them to the Francis Scott Key bridge. I’d link you photos but KRplus is weird about that.

All American bridges are unsafe, most of them will colapse due to bad maintenance, structure weakness and construction fails😢 R.I.P all victims, condolences from Brazil.
I can't imagine such important bridge doesn't even have collision proof design. Good for you guys.

So offensive you can keep the defective psychopath to yourself please
Wonder how much fentanyl is on that ship?
This is such a tragedy. May those souls be resting in eternal peace. My prayers for their loved ones. My oh my😣
The ship was speeding: 9 knots in a 5 knot zone.
People can’t breathe underwater.. How are they calling it a rescue mission?
Just to deceive you and me. Everything is deception in America these days.
B B b b but aIr pOcKit's!
Rescue the bodies?
The crabs are having a feast
This point I agree, but there have been documented cases with people that drown, that were brought back long after the drowning occurred, due to the temperature of the water.
A very expensive accident.
Their insurance company is not happy right now.
poor bridge design
Man that captain is IN FOR IT.
Yeah no excuse you mean that Asian captain? The company owned by Singapore. Wow here goes America again where Asian countries mess our country up. Nothing really comes good from any Asian country. The pandemics, bird flu diseases, pollution, counterfeit crap, cheaply made goods that don't last and more nothing good
Prayers for the families
I doubt they will find him guilty of anything. The ship lost power when it was in a turn heading for the exit. When the power came back on, the engine started belching black smoke. The ship started drifting sideways, they dropped anchor to try to stop, but the anchor dragged. It looked like they couldn't regain control and the current + the momentum carried them into the bridge.
yeah I read all of that after I commented. He is still in for it, because there needs to be a scapegoat. Whether he deserves it or not. The whole thing is sad all the way around. It's be better if ALL the pertinent info was put into the news segment. @@josephr4761
do you need a hug or something?@@thisthatwhatsup-mh3hq
The ship was cutting a Uturn headed out. Power went out on the ship and huge plume of BLACK SMOKE started to come out of the engine room. When power fails, so does steering. He dropped his anchors, he did all he could.
I hate how the news reports things like this. 7 people in the water 2 were reduced. But there's cars under water and search crews trying to save them. Anyone who was in a car, or went into that water that was not pulled out of the water by 2am is dead. There will be at least 100 people dead from the tragic accident. And shame on the MD Harbor pilot, couldn't even get the boat out of port without destroying a bridge and killing all those innocent people
I was trying to figure out how it was such a low death toll but that makes much more sense
ship called mayday when it lost power, bridge traffic was halted before accident. vehicles on the bridge were maintenance crews fixing pot holes.
Lost power, bellowed black smoke and dropped an anchor trying to avoid. What more do you expect in an emergency situation?
It's just sad how the media make it seem like there are people still alive in the water to be rescued. I hope they can hold their breath for hours.
I cant believe they built a bridge so badly protected from those massive ships...
These container ships are gettin WAY too big.
We have to have our cheap crap from China
stop buying so much stuff then.
The Dali is not a particular large container ship, its a very common post panamax class ... a 300m size which is around since the mid 90s. The real issue in this case is that the US simply has outdated infrastructure which for decades hasnt kept up with modern standards and requirements ... like protection of bridge pillars able to withstand/deflect such a common ship type, which does exist for ages.
Blame the greed of the US when it comes to infrastructure investments, these ships are not the problem and that disaster could have easily been avoided by keeping up with standards for safety of bridges.
@@fulknerra6116 great point.
@@diedampfbrasse98 nonsense. These ships fly under foreign flags, are poorly maintained, using cheap foreign labor, and the owners are usually filthy rich who could care less about maintenance and avoid taxes and safety legislation by registering thier floating junk heaps where the marine rules can be flouted.
It's a "container ship" not a "shipping container". That being said it's a tragedy of the first order.
Until the bridge wreckage is removed, all the other boats are trapped in port. And those on the way in are trapped out.
🙏🏽💔 Thoughts & Prayers to all the people involved in this tragic event
Seems odd to me that you would design a bridge with the intention for large ships to pass under it, but also design it to collapse like a house of cards when one of those ships hits it??
Yes its an older bridge, but people were not stupid back then... they might have been less afraid of liability verses cheapness though.
Ships have gotten bigger in the 50 years since that bridge was built.
That ship doesn’t appear to have clearance for it. Just like on the road there are certain bridges that trucks can’t pass above a certain height
@@monicarenee7949The perspective is wonky, it has clearance if it had passed under the center of it.
Don't understand your comment that the bridge WAS DESIGNED to fail.
How old is the bridge and how often does this happen to any bridge?
@@monicarenee7949how can you conclude that? The bridge has collapsed after this ship hit a pier?

@@mane4209cry about it some more, I'm sure that'll have an effect
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
This much of the bridge collapsed also indicates that it was in extremely bad shape and was destined to collapse with a ship collision.
Strange how the ship kept losing power as it was approaching the column dead center. Tinfoil hat aside. What a terrible tragedy. RIP to the victims and their families.😢
At the start of the clip it was actually in the channel fine when it lost power. It drifted straight, it then restarted the engine which looked sick. Ive seen a few captains chime in, seems like the consencus with them is that the pilot put the ship into reverse to ring it to a stop with the engine dying, the prop spin combined with wind swung the bow around and the engine died again before they could fully stop the ship. The sad truth is, if thats what happened, it was the act of trying to stop the ship that doomed the bridge and if they hadnt restored power, we would be talking aout a ship striking fort carroll and getting stuck
@@leonskum6864 We know ya'll tried so hard to make it appear accidental. Condolences.
*1970'S INFRASTRUCTURE MEETS 2024 SHIP* you guys just stopped upgrading your infrastructure in the mid 1970's in favour of tax cuts for wealthy people
Incredibly ignorent comment. If you smack a container ship right into the abutment of a bridge, shits gonna go down. Momentum doesn't care about how new or old something is.
typical CNN viewer
It wasn’t tax cuts that did this… it’s a government that uses its finances poorly like funding endless wars or other peoples wars under the guise of “protecting democracy.”
Tax cuts? Baltimore? No. This sh!t hole has some of the highest taxes in the country. There are bridges built in the first centuries still in use. The key is not to funnel the money to your corporatist buddies and actually maintain the infrastructure.
That ship looks overloaded perhaps stop ordering crap products online reduce these ships shipping one day products.
Also time to remove postal subsidies causing cheaper shipping than local mailing of packages
The bridge did not just collapse on it own, it was destroyed by huge cargo ship. Why do the keep saying it collapsed. Explain why?
The forward tilt of the boat indicated by the paint line shows the immense weight of the bridge debris. With the current waves and wind, i'm surprised it hasn't shifted.
Stunningly unimaginable
Luckily it's a Singaporean cargo ship, if it was a Chinese or Russian cargo ship,
then imagine what the western politicians and media would say.
Okay, DipShit. Thanks for the Minority Report. 🙄
Singapore is the same as China. So it is China's fault.

The Chinese captain hit the base of the bridge. The ship was brought to port without pilots. Where were the pushers? What is the role of the pilot boat?
A pilot boat is a type of boat used to pilot between land and ships arriving or leaving port.
They'll probably blame Trump
They already did or they will blame white people
Oh my god
