Full Speech: President Joe Biden's address on collapse of Baltimore's Key Bridge

- A container ship lost power and rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing the span to buckle into the river below and plunging a construction crew and several vehicles into the dangerously cold waters. Rescuers pulled out two people, but six others were missing.
The ship’s crew issued a mayday call moments before the crash took down the Francis Scott Key Bridge, enabling authorities to limit vehicle traffic on the span, Maryland’s governor said.
The ship struck one of the bridge’s supports, causing the structure to collapse like a toy. It tumbled into the water in a matter of seconds - a shocking spectacle that was captured on video and posted on social media. The vessel caught fire, and thick, black smoke billowed out of it.
With the ship barreling toward the bridge at “a very, very rapid speed,” authorities had just enough time to stop cars from coming over the bridge, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said.
“These people are heroes,” Moore said. “They saved lives last night.”
The crash happened long before the busy morning commute on the bridge that stretches 1.6 miles (2.6 km).
The six people still unaccounted for were part of a construction crew filling potholes on the bridge, said Paul Wiedefeld, the state's transportation secretary. One of those rescued was taken to a hospital, he said.
“Never would you think that you would see, physically see, the Key Bridge tumble down like that. It looked like something out of an action movie,” said Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, calling it “an unthinkable tragedy."
From 1960 to 2015, there were 35 major bridge collapses worldwide due to ship or barge collision, according to the World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure.
The collapse is almost sure to create a logistical nightmare for months, if not years, along the East Coast, shutting down ship traffic at the Port of Baltimore and snarling cargo and commuter traffic.
“Losing this bridge will devastate the entire area, as well as the entire East Coast,” state Sen. Johnny Ray Salling said.
Highway signs as far south as Virginia warned drivers of delays associated with the closure of the bridge.
Authorities said sonar had detected vehicles in the water, which is about 50 feet (15 meters) deep. The water temperature was about 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8 degrees Celsius) before dawn Tuesday, according to a buoy that collects data for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
No Amtrak Joey, you never traveled on the "Francis Scott Key" bridge by train. There were no train tracks on that bridge.

Where were you when Lahaina happened, Texas happened, East Palestine happened??? But now, Baltimore gets your undivided attention/commitment???
EXCELLENT POINT
He couldn't drive his train to Hawaii and there was a train wreck already in Ohio
The Federal government will pay for the ENTIRE cost of reconstructing that bridge"
Why isn't the insurance company of that vessel paying for any part of the damages?
Why would the Fed government foot the bill?
He should have just said the federal government will begin the construction of the bridge and we will seek compensation from the ship owners insurance. Instead he's written a blank cheque courtesy of the US tax payer.
He wants to buy votes
Because the bridge will be rebuilt via the Bipartisan infrastructure bill. Do you WANT a bridge built any time soon? Or would you rather wait over a year for the courts to rule in the company's favor anyway, since this country is run by wealthy companies.
The shipping company is responsible jackass
How come you didn’t do anything to help Hawaii? Or East Palestine Ohio? How about our open border Biden? And why offer our tax dollars so quickly? Shouldn’t the insurance companies of the shop pay for it?? Prayers to everyone involved and all family members.
He did. Hawaii got 4 million dollars from the Biden-Harris foundation.
Mumbling mumbling mumbling
The man will used anything to hid his true -self

Joe Biden is the goat
This video was altered to remove the part of him taking the train across the bridge
So where do I find the unaltered version? Since you have seen it, can you send me a copy?
Just Google it, I can't post it on UA-cam @@bobarmstrong4403
@@bobarmstrong4403you have Instagram? I can dm it to you I have a screen recording of it
@bobarmstrong4403 you know UA-cam won't allow links but you can find it if you want to
Where does he say he took the train across this bridge
He doesn't because that was a made up meme
No it's not I heard it @biggeneral1628

@@Danny-jb6pg you right bro I looked it up
it was cut off the beginning. this video started right after he said it.
Full speech that starts mid sentence 😅😅😅 what a charlatans
You notice they have sped up this video ? Make him look likes he talking normal
Ted's life isn't living in reality...
You notice that Ted is having a stroke? He keeps talking about smelling burnt toast.
A waste of time
Biden was real quick to offer our tax dollars to replace the Key bridge. Shouldn't the company that owns and operates the ship be held responsible to pay to replace the bridge??? Shalom
Biden is too much of a wimp to go after the shipping company
Did a bit of research on Reddit and the vessel is from a third world company buddy. Which unfortunately means we have to foot the bill. Sucks but that’s just the reality of the situation. We either fix it now with our resources or we wait for payment and it never gets done. Shalom
@@AE70001They are based out of Singapore and are part of a large group of merchant ships. The companies website states that "All" of the ships are fully insured. Shalom
💘You're more dangerous than terrorists 💔
Exponentially worse
At least he knows where this happened and who the governor is.
@@IkaikaArnado Does he though? Or is he just quite obviously reading from a script...?
If he were to go up there without a script, it would be even more difficult to understand than it already is.

He needs some glasses…he always squinting.🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
He is trying to read his script
Why would we pay for the bridge ?
Biden train crossed that bridge, remember?
FJB
So what are they wanting us to looked other way
He may still be ticking but Biden’s so old that I have to really pay attention to hear what he’s actually saying. I think he’s a bit too old to be president. 😢
You of all people have NOTHING TO SAY about anything we are facing!
My young children (all under 15) can read more articulately. This guy reads like a robot as he misses every punctuation point.
He can use of his China money to pay for that damn bridge. That’s a Maryland tax payer problem, not the rest of the states. His mouth is writing a check he can’t cover.
I wish the best for 🇺🇸✝️
God bless
Ok Holy f****** sh**! This isn't our nation's politicians fault. Further more god bless the loved ones that are experiencing heartache, and those in the coming weeks that will feel the ripple effect from this incident. As for the crew and local police agencies damn good job on minimizing catastrophic events.
Still they are facing racism (the crew [which mostly included Indians]) for destroying the bridge on social media.
You mean the ship with a history of massive screw ups? Quit with the race nonsense @FlamesOfDevil
What did he say?
Run Joe Run !!! Here comes the questions !!!
You are good
LETS SEE IF THIS COMMENT GETS TAKEN OUT.
I don’t think he understands the EPA process. Going to take years for the environmental impact study. Good luck on that!
he just needs to get on the train and go away.
Money machine go brrrrrrrrr again… and again. Devalue the currency. Inflation rising. What a joke. Why isn’t this paid for by the company? Hmm. Maybe it wasn’t their fault after all and it’s an inside job? Didn’t think so at first. But follow the money like 9:11. Usually can see some trail of truth. Props to the reporter who jumped in and asked the question before he could walk away lol and those plants do a great job of saying thank you so loud at end to muffle the other questions being asked
Being paid for by the infrastructure bill
It's Mr. Mumbles. Is he ok?
Hi man what’s with the John McCain hair?
America 🇺🇸 must be proud that they have a sensible, empathetic and strategic leader as president during these tedious times.
Are you being serious?
@@steverosser8656 That isn't an argument, Steve.
@@shellshockedbros4458 it’s actually a question.
Instead of making the owner of the ship to pay for the bridge you are going to jack the taxes up on all of America. LETS GO BRANDON!!!!!!! And why can't I curse on my post. What happened to freedom of speech?
You MAGAts are so brain-dead.
1. The owner of the ship isn't going to pay shit.
2. The bridge is being paid for by the infrastructure bill which already had the money allocated. No tax increase needed.
3. Freedom of speech isn't granted on private property. UA-cam is private property. You have NO freedom of speech on this platform.
Biden I'm want more support for Israel 🇮🇱 wake up please thanks
Please speak Hindi,
Wow! He’s actually spending money on something for the American people. I’m shocked!
He's a moron. The boat company and their insurance company should pay for this not the taxpayers.
He literally lowered the price of insulin and capped it at $35 dollars.
He passed the Infrastructure bill that Trump couldn't pass
He passed the CHIPs act
Try again, Lisa.
@@shellshockedbros4458 was that before or after he “rode the train” over the Baltimore bridge? 🙄 He’s a walking talking diaper commercial with diarrhea of the mouth. The guy is useless!
Brandon you are a sorry president!!!!! Screwing Americans
Humanity end is soon to be happen my advice to Americans is that spend how much time as you can with your love ones before we all go away in the next decade when WW3 reaches it highest
His speech are so boring he put me to sleep 😴
humalamalum
Reading a screen the entire time
Alzheimers
It's interesting. 95% of the videos I watch of Biden, regardless of network, show just how few actually support him. I rarely read a positive comment about him. Then I realize that's because the truth is that the overwhelming majority don't, even if they may still vote for him. It's shameful his family is allowing this to continue instead of protecting him in his condition.
Poor script reader 😂
Where is his wedding ring?
From The River to The Sea Palestine will be free
Wow he seemed like Zelenskis twin. No anchor??? No manual steering the ship??? No alert to get everyone of the bridge??? He hasn't got.time.for that 😅😅😅

With All due Mr President…. I’m voting for Dr. Cornel West… because the people of San Diego County are disrespectful 24/7 to me more then both 44 & 45. People were aLao ignorant about Monrovia, Liberia too. My place and Madam VP Kamala Harris can only swing my vote by November elections . I grew up since 2008. I’m almost 40.
America is sinking thanks to Joe
President Mumbles Stumbles and Falls
You are a dope .
Well, there you go the difference between the two presidents Joe Biden goes to a fundraiser. Donald Trump goes to a wake
Donald Trump was also held liable for sexual assault in court, and has more than 9 women claiming he's raped them. But yeah, going to a funeral makes a hell of a difference! You know what's strange? He went to a photoshoot right after the event...hmm...almost like he was trying to garner sympathy and gain more support for his failing presidential campaign.
Wake the fuck up Kenny-boy!

Turning back on america again! No surprise joe jip ya
Biden democrata.
Oh so now he wants to pretend to give a crap about disasters! Fjb!!!
He donated 4 million to Hawaii. Try again!
@@shellshockedbros4458 That’s one ie not that he really aided Maui which doesn’t involve financial aid only . In fact his condolences were so poorly expressed and was self serving that Hawaii demanded he leave the island. Last I saw from news reports and the victims testimony themselves in Maui was they received $700 per household while aggressive firms and real estate tried buying up their properties. It seems most of our taxes go toward funding illegals and Ukraine. And there’s TX, he not only sent Feds against the state in their attempts to stop invaders coming through their borders and he failed to acknowledge the wild fires that occurred there while fema didn’t show up. He’s failed in more ways than achieved, he’s divided a country based on woke leftist ideology, he’s threatened our rights non stop, like left mainstream media and left politicians he lied to the ppl during and after the 2020 election not only about “Russian collusion” but about his illegal dealings with his son, he’s had the audacity to blame Republicans for his failed policies that intentionally released violent, dangerous criminals back onto the streets, immediately after entering office opened our borders and has protected illegals even adding or revising policies that hurt Americans like protecting squatters, capture and release failing to document or vet illegals and not only blames Republicans but Trump for his actions. Most of the money he could be using in our country for the ppl is sent to Ukraine funding a war we have no place being involved in when our own country is in turmoil, etc. I don’t think I’m wrong in my first comment because it sounds pretty convenient that he’s suddenly speaking up for when his popularity is deservedly so low
Is Joey wearing his wide sole shoes to keep from falling?
Great job reading off the teleprompter
Great job making the same moot point for the 40th time.
Obama read off of teleprompters, too. So did Reagan. Get over yourself.
