- In this video we take a look at the disaster that occurred in Baltimore Maryland where the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed shortly after being struck by the cargo ship MV Dali.
In this video we analyze the wreck of the RMS Titanic and try to answer the question of why the Titanic's bow and stern sections ended up so far apart on the wreck site today.

My heart goes out to the people of Baltimore. You nailed it Sam... designers of this bridge in the 1970s never imagined that we would have bloated floating masses of 100,000 tons frequently traversing such narrow waterways and passing so close to essential pylons. Additionally, for profit maximization, many such ships are registered in countries like Liberia! Crews are under paid and ships undermaintained. In this case a Mayday was transmitted by the Pilots onboard -- allowing some bridge traffic to be stopped. The port of Baltimore has had fuel contamination issues in the past, which the NTSB will examine--motive power has apparently failed unexpectedly under those circumstances.
So are you saying cargo ships did not exist in the 1970s?
@@jakel.2150 No, he's saying modern cargo ships have three or four times the DWT of ones back then. The engineers didn't account for it. It's like a 1930s skyscraper that was designed to withstand an impact from something like a B52, not a 787. (edit: typo)
@@jakel.2150 not of that size/displacement
there was an engineer earlier today who explained that when the ship initially lost power that the helm held what he called a "stored command" in it's program and upon regaining power it executed that command by default.
It never occurred to me it could be a computer issue. I wonder how that could be connected to the dark smoke? And are smoke and power problems actually connected, or did they just happen at the same time?
Your post offered an insight into a possible cause, thank you. We will have to see what the investigation finds out.
This IS EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT ; once the power came on ; it was stuck on its last command and continued the same command once the power started .
When I was in the Navy we had a room at the stern called “Aft Steering” which allowed us to manually turn the rudder during a power outage. We communicated using sound powered phones which don’t require electricity. Aft Steering was my station during General Quarters drills.
Very interesting. Thanks.
Very happy to see Sam do a video on this. I'm not happy to hear about the 6 men working on the bridge who ended up in a watery grave. RIP to all who lost their lives.
2 bodies have been recovered from a red pickup truck, as of yesterday.
@@GarrestheWarriorim confused. surely they would have found more by this hour
@@DenisLiasis It's believed that some of the remains may be trapped under debris. They won't know for certain until they start moving things.

Some more news, so allegedly one of the 6 survived, he apparently fell flat onto the cargo ship, it’s probably unconfirmed.
Hey Sam, I currently live about an hour north of Baltimore, MD, and when I heard about this disaster, I was stunned because I drive tractor trailer and I been over that bridge numerous times and seeing the bridge in person and finding out it collapsed is unbelievable. Thank you for this video and explaining it. You do such a great job on your videos especially about the titanic. You're amazing. Keep up the great work. Love your channel.
Good to see a fellow Trucker who also enjoys Sams videos, keep the rubber side down brother. And best wishes to the people in your area, especially those involved in this disaster.
The ship was perfectly aligned to pass under the bridge up until they lost power. The placement of the camera makes it look like it will need to turn. The black smoke is from the ship's Engineers restarting the main engine or trying to do so. There is speculation that when the ship passed the point where the Curtiss Bay channel joined the main channel, that the change in Bank Effect caused the ship to turn to the right without power the ship couldn't use the rudder to correct the course. By the time power was restored it was too late.
Back in July of 2016, MV Dali collided with her dock in the Port of Antwerp, Belgium.
The collision critically damaged the ship's stern.
Although she would be repaired and put back into service, superstitious sailors saw this as a bad omen for Dali.
It's sad to see how several years later, Dali would once again be involved in an allison.
RIP to all those who lost their lives on March 26, 2024, during the allision of MV Dali with the Francis Scott Key Bridge.
May They Never Be Forgotten.
i heard that only 8 were on the bridge and 6 died i heard its not official to me yet
@@BaI_GUYThat's the correct official number. Eight construction crew members were fixing potholes. Two survived and six did not, two of whom have been since recovered.
@@SAOS451316
..Now, one the two rescued from the river. .was in a serious condition. .& no new update about his current health status...The other one recieved no serious injury even after falling from that height...I wonder how that can even be possible ??!!?...But he was in trauma obviously & was already released from a trauma care centre most likely the next day...I believe he owns the power of pure luck..I'm happy for him anyway... .
Thanks Sam for covering this catastrophe! I’m a LI New Yorker, I moved to B’more in ‘95 til 2020. It’s a great city and I drove over the Key many times. Beautiful ride, seeing south Baltimore and Curtis bay. I send prayers to the families of those who lost their lives and my dear friends. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
To help avoid future incidents like the one in Baltimore, MD, USA today protective installations like these 'dolphins' should be added.
"a dolphin is a protective object that may have its own fender system and that is usually circular in plan and structurally independent from the bridge. Their main function is to protect adjacent structures from the impact of a vessel."
Why is it that every single year we have a "major" maritime thingie? First was with the Evergiven in 2021, than the Russian cruiser Moskva in 2022, the Titan's implosion last year, and now the MV Dali colliding into the FSK Bridge.
2020s, the new 1910s for maritime disasters
Given the amount of vessels that are active every single day it’s not surprising. In fact the only surprising thing to me is that they don’t happen more often. I have a maritime tracker on my phone as I have family living in the Philippines where long ferry journeys through treacherous seas to commute between the islands which make up the Philippine archipelago. It’s astonishing how many vessels are travelling at any given time.
More ships + bigger ships = every maritime incident is bigger than it used to be and has a larger impact.
🤔
Not really. This kind of thing has happened before. Go look up the Tasman Bridge disaster from 1975, the Almo Bridge collapse of 1980, and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge collapse, also in 1980. In 1993, there was the Big Bayou Canot rail accident where a towboat pulling a barge struck a CSX bridge, causing it to deform, and an Amtrak train ran across the weakened bridge, causing it to collapse in the river.
Those flashing lights on the bridge were work vehicles belonging to a work crew filling in potholes. There were 8 men on the bridge when the ship hit the piling. 7 workers a a Maryland State Inspector . The Inspector and one of the 7 members were pulled out of the water alive. They have recovered 2 of the bodies of the other 6 members of the crew. The work crew and the Inspector would have been in their trucks on their brake and would not have been able to see the ship from the side of the bridge that they were working on. Please pray for their families in their time of sorrow. All the vehicles seen crossing the bridge made it safely off the bridge before the ship hit the bridge.
Thank you, Sam., Your levelheaded reporting is MUCH better than what the media puts out. Prayers for the victims and their families. 😥🙏
Thank you for making a video about this! This is such a tragedy. Prayers for all the people who lost loved ones.
I still dont understand why they didnt have two tugboats guiding it out
The tugboats only guided it out of birth and during its turn away from the dock. When it was halfway along the path out, the tugs returned to the dock. But yes, if the tugs had escorted it all the way out, the Key bridge is the last thing to pass under to get out of the harbor, the tugs may have been able to intercede and prevent the collision.
Casual Navigation has the only video so far I've seen that includes what tugs were doing at the time of this incident. Oceanliner Designs also mentions that tugs should have been escorting the Dali all the way out of the harbor, as most tugs do in other countries when the harbor is shallow and has bridges crossing the channels of the harbor.
@Keandros I work for a tugboat company in Texas and we have to escort every ship and barge in and out because of multiple bridges I'm just not used to seeing a ship let it leave on its own like this but I bet after this major changes are gonna be made
Thanks Sam, for breaking down this incident with compassion and respect for the victims. So sad for all concerned.
I live locally to the area outside Baltimore about 20 minutes from the Key Bridge. He kept saying the ships crew. In order for a ship to operate in the Chesapeake bay the ships are operated by what’s called bay pilots. The reason for this is because much of the Chesapeake bay is very shallow and there is a designated deep water channel called shipping lanes that the ships have to use. I have heard all different theories of why this happened from people and news agencies from the US and UK. Anyone want any information I get news about it daily.
Hey Sam, great video!
One thing I want to point out regarding the smoke you see coming from the ship, seconds before impact. Cargo ships don’t generally emit such a large mass of smoke unless the engines are at a high rpm. My thoughts are the crew of the Dali must have thrown the engines into reverse as a last ditch effort to avoid a collision.
Even though the horizon was ablaze with lights from the shore, the silhouette of the ship looming towards the bridge was just eerie
I love how you don't make assumptions about how something happened if all the information isn't out. You did the same with the Titan Sub. Its so respectful and its one of the reasons why i love your channel 🙂
Rest In Peace to all lives lost ❤
I’ve videos come up about this but I did not watch them. Thank you Sam for covering this and presenting known facts rather than a bunch of editorial opinion. My heart goes out to the families who lost loved ones and for the crew of the boat who will have to live with the memories of that horrible night.
Sam and fellow friend Mike Brady from Ocean Liner Designs and Plainy Difficult are the only ones I'll listen to explaining what happened.
I also look forward to Brick Immortar's full detailed breakdown of the incident. His UA-cam channel is outstanding in terms of the depth of content of many maritime incidents.
@@Adjudicator1 I'll check him out
Oceanliner Designs speculated maybe they had gotten the ship into reverse and was trying to stop. But engine fire is certainly something to think about.
Glad to see Sam covering the disaster. Definitely enjoyed the video, and made the information that is known a bit easier to understand. I do disagree on ruling out this not quite being an accident. A malfunction on board doesn't necessarily mean it was accidental. We can't rule out sabotage, at least until we see what the Voyage Data Recorder says.
Also.....did anyone notice Bright Side released yet ANOTHER Titanic video? I'm scared....
As soon as i heard the news i quickly went to your UA-cam channel and patiently wait for your upload
My heart goes out to not only the people of Baltimore, as well as the rest of Maryland, but also the families and friends of the six people who perished.
This is almost like a repeat of the sunshine skyway collapse in 1980! A ship was blinded in a thunderstorm and struck one of the pillars of the skyway bridge.
Been living in Baltimore all my life, and being on the water in the harbor here is like what we do.
You might not know that professional Harbor Pilots pilots these massive container ships out of the harbor.
What's also been well known for YEARS is that if one of them over impacted one of the main supports it would compromise the bridge. Hundreds of these massive ships pilot out of Baltimore Harbor every week. So what you have is disaster potential x time = inevitable.
It wasn't a matter of IF something like this would happen, but when.
It could have been a lot worse during the day and if traffic wasn't stopped from going on the bridge. Jeff said there should have been some concrete barriers to protect the support pylons.
Thank you for covering this. Because of the connection to maritime activities I'm finding the event is difficult to process. It is, of course, so much worse of the loved ones of the victims, survivors, and the city of Baltimore .
Here are the updates I know.
The 2 men recovered in the pickup have been reported to be 2 of the workers. It is possible they were trying to race off the bridge. 😢 How horrible.
The black smoke might be linked to the lights going off and one. There is SPECULATION that the fuel may have been contaminated. Not on purpose, just in the way water can contaminate gas and cause a car to stall. This is being investigated and it is too soon to hear any results. The engine is listed as diesel.
You are correct, smoke that thick is not seen with diesel under normal circumstances. You are also right that any opinions offered by people like us is just guessing and speculation. Thank you for being so careful in how you presented this.
Thank you for the update, friend 🙏😔
Big fan of your channel here! I was wondering if you could do a video about Sixth Officer Moody for Titanic month? He is a real unsung hero on the Titanic, and I think you should make a video about him for Titanic month. Thanks!
'Ello there, Sam. I live a couple miles north of Baltimore, (won't disclose where exactly), and I stay away from the city, via the crime, even though it's the city where Walter Lord was born (and others, including Tom Clancy, Babe Ruth and Thurgood Marshall, amongst many others.)
But, I believe that this bridge collapse was interesting. For one reason. It went down in a very similar way that the Old Conowingo Bridge did in November of 1927, as the Conowingo Dam was nearly finished by then. Except, those seven twisted spans of that old steel bridge were blown up by nitrogelatin. And it was caught on film. And it was also similar to the Skyway Bridge's West Span's collapse in 1980.
As for the six workers who have passed on, I offer my heaviest and deepest condolences to their families and I wish the hard-working men's souls well in eternal peace. And I wish you well, Sam.
From a historian.
all the victims are now in a better place. Praying for their families.
This is very scary because I was under this bridge in November.
Very sad event and I hope all is well for the victims.
Historic travels, bright side just made another titanic video, the thumbnail shows a secret base under the iceberg.
Just incredible.
If you observe the ship's black exhaust, it indicates the wind direction, which may explain the course deviation without power.
Very possible. With all those shipping containers on her deck, could act like a big sail. I know van sides will act like sales. Any one know what the wind speed and direction were like that night?
used to use bridge but moved away thx for making a video like this
Hello Sam I was on that same bridge 5 years ago it’s crazy what happened!
I'm not wondering how this could have happened. It's pretty clear. The port of Baltimore entrance was a relatively low risk passage with the Patapsco River having very little inherent current. I've sailed under this bridge many times in smaller vessels. Precautions that would have been in place at other ports (ie protection for the supports, the use of tugs, etc) weren't used here. It's all about cost/benefit and they decided the cost wasn't worth it. Then you get a 1/1,000,000 incident like this one and the result is disaster. I guarantee the rebuilt bridge will resemble the Skyway bridge with its protections.
Your hypothesis about the ship being stuck in a right turn and the loss of power making them unable to move the rudder is likely correct. You can clearly see the ship continue to turn right up to the point of impact.
Hi Sam, from my time in the Royal Navy I'd say the smoke was the engines restarting.
In normal use the funnels don't produce lots of smoke like that but when the start up they do.
I'm no expert, I was a Dabber (the Warfare branch) not a Stoker (the engineering branch) and I could be wrong, but when I saw it, that was my first thoughts on it.
Also, about the black smoke, I've heard that its a backup generator running somewhere in the ship, but I really doubt it, however, this could be correct.
That big puff of thick black smoke is the Engineers trying to restart the engine. With a large ship instead of using a starter like we do in a car they use a big blast of compressed air to get the pistons moving.
@@Adventuregirl96Could have been frantically trying to ramp the engine up to run speed. Diesel powerplant that size doesn't particularly like when you do that to it. It would certainly account for a LOT of smoke I imagine.
Sam and Anderson Cooper on CNN when there is a event like this one. The very first time I saw Anderson Cooper was on September The 11 the he was so close to wear the Twin Towers collapsed. That memory hasn't left me either.
RIP everyone who died on the bridge :(
Really sad situation. Unfortunate series of events.
After the similar disaster in Tampa in 1980 you think they would have put the same kind of pillar protection system in place that Tampa did with the new bridge that they built 😞🤔
Had it not been for Google lens, I would not have relocated your UA-cam channel!
I forgot your channel’s name gradually after the Titan submersible disaster and I was trying all I could recall to find your UA-cam channel but UA-cam wasn’t showing me your page at all despite multiple search attempts. Thanks to reddit and subsequent Google Lens magic!
been a while since i watched your videos I think the last time i watched I remember staying up to date on the titan Sub and it felt kinda shocking i Was kinda thinking they would survive But then the realised how things were actually bad We just didn't know
When large cargo ship like this one lose electric power they lose all forward and reverse propulsion and the ability to steer the ship with it rudder. Most ship will have a backup system the comes on and give the crew limited but vital function to be able to steer the ship.
We went on that bridge a few times in past and my mom won't go on anymore high bridges like that one after the disaster because she doesn't know if there are safe enough to be hit by a big boat like the Dali.
Oceanliner Design's Mike Brady did a very well researched video on this topic. It appears the MV Dali had fueled up shortly before casting off. Contaminated fuel certainly SOUNDS like a possible factor for the power disruption. If this is like most disasters, there may be multiple factors at play here.
I think the fact that may always haunt me is those 2 worker who were found in the pick-up apparently trying to flee. I wounder how long before the pilot of the Dali will be able to sleep without nightmare.
Sam when we get more information over time could you make an update video?
He already said that he will.
I live next to Marlend and we go there every now and then and crossed that bridge every time and its amazing that we crossed that same bridge
I’m a train driver in the uk,
I know with our Locomotive engines, when you initially start them up there can be a lot of thick smoke coming out of them especially on cold days.
Plus if you rev up the engine before it has had time to fully warm through it can produce a large amount of thick smoke.
I imagine something similar might happen on an even larger engine on a cargo ship.
Not sure if this could be something similar to what might of happened if they where suddenly trying to either restart or suddenly demanding full power, I presume that it would result in a large thick amount of smoke.
It's super sad to hear about the disaster but it very good that not many vehicles were on the bridge at the time at the disaster. It would make me shutter if it was during rush hour traffic when the disaster happened and more life's would be lost 😔.
Yo man, you okay? We miss you
You know, your the 2nd titanic Historian to cover this current event (the 1st was OceanLiner Design)
🙌🏼🙂
Hey Sam you should watch a short video from a UA-camr named Jim Zim who also discussed about the bridge.
I believe that a pilot was in charge to get it out of that very shallow, narrow, and dangerous harbor are. It's an extremely tight fit for any ship, let alone this monster. What baffles me is, why didn't it have tug boats escorting it until it cleared these many dangerous obstacles. If you look on Google maps, this is a tricky entrance and exit into this area.
If tug boats had been required to stay with the ship until after they cleared the bridge, this tragedy might well have been either avoided or lessened. There were apparently tug boats that helped the ship get into the main channel, and then they left because they were not required. I suspect there will be a change in protocol after this.
Do a titanic movie teir list of every titanic movie
Note...the concrete bridge support column on the front of the ship. There isn't any rebar in it. It broke cleanly into 3 parts, at the joints where they poured it
I know you said that you don’t really do current events but I 100% would be down if you did cover major things
This event is so sad for the people in the cars on the cold night that had their windows up and fell off that bridge in their cars
My husband unit was out helping rescue people from this
Jeepers. You haven't ruled out the last one at all. Maybe some people were causing the electrical failures on purpose while others fought to restore and repair.
I heard that the ship put out a mayday shortly before it struck the bridge and law enforcement was able to prevent more people from being on the bridge at the time of the impact
First of all, this is an absolute tragedy for the victims and their families. My heart goes out to them. It definitely hits home as I work in the same industry and undertake similar projects as the maintenance work that was being carried out by the victims. I work in civil engineering, specifically in the construction and maintenance of bridges and roads, as well as the associated infrastructure.
Certainly the bridge’s construction and design will be brought into question.
The bridge wasn’t inherently unsafe, but I feel the pillars weren’t engineered to withstand a collision of this magnitude, and its large spans and interconnecting truss design made it vulnerable to collapse if faced with such a collision. The heavy traffic of large vessels of the magnitude of the Dali elevated the likelihood of a collision of this nature at some point in time, so perhaps stronger pillars and a different span design would’ve been better suited. It was unique because of its large span between pillars. At 366 metres it was the third longest stretch of unsupported roadway in the world. Perhaps cost and construction considerations was a factor in deciding on that particular design. It appears there were critical design flaws which made it extremely susceptible to a collision of this type.
The bridge was a steel arch continuous truss design.
Bridges of this type have no redundancy (ie: the ability to function if damaged). Take out one pillar and the stress is too great and the entire structure collapses. It is akin to a house of cards.
The mayday call saved lives as it gave Baltimore police about 90 seconds to halt traffic before impact. More vehicles would have been on the bridge if not for that call and the amazingly quick response.
According to interview on Ward Carroll's channel yesterday, ships like these don't typically have "aft steering" or it isn't manned like it is on military vessels. So a complete loss of power does mean a loss of steering.
One other thing I heard is really a rumor at this point: that there were power problems experienced by dock workers. If this is true, it could become a lot more of a scandal because had the harbor pilots known, they likely would not have taken the ship out, or at least not without tug escort.
I miss a many videos You did in 2023
Just heard that the Georgia ports, especially in Savannah and Brunswick are going to be busy as a result of this incident
And it was sad
I saw the ship crash
Yesterday my friend kennedi. Told me about this.
Sam, My understanding is that when the power goes out, the ship is dead in the water. It was an accident and the bridge structure should have been engineered more sturdily. The crew was urgently trying to restart the engines.
It still feels very off that it happened.
You can't engineer a bridge to take 100,000 tons of dead weight to the side at speed. It's just too much momentum.
Can you do a review of Poseidon with Gene Hackman? The new one with Josh Lucas is a good watch as well
That bridge and both the Chesapeake Bay bridges need repairs or even new ones
Down With Brightside 😠
Can you confirm these ships have multiple redundancies in place. In an instance of power failure, automatic generators immediately kick on to supply lighting but primarily rudder control. I've heard it's not just one generator but multiple and successive generators in the event of sequential failures. I've only heard this from one source, and it's not required just for American ships but for all flags. Seems farfetched that steering doesn't have a failsafe. Also heard the ship can maintain position without main engines in case of failure
Cheers
Is no one else realising that a bridge shouldn’t fall the way it did to a collision like that, one’s like London Bridge can survive stronger and faster ships
That was my first though. I looked into the basic engineering for the type of bridge structure it was, a truss bridge. With a truss bridge all the different connecting members are tried in together redistributing the push and pull of the bridge weight to keep it in tension and upright. Unfortunately massive damage will cause the whole thing to collapse like a house of cards. Any truss bridge with that much damage would probably fail. From the bridge's point of view, the Dali's weight and motion turned it into a battering ram.
London's tower bridge is a different architectural style. Different architectural styles use different structures to distribute and support their weight. Tower bridge depends on suspension cable and those 2 great towers for support. I'm not sure if it could have survived a ship this big and heavy. I hope we never find out. I honest don't want to be proved right on this conjecture. I'd rather be wrong and never see it tested.
They would be able to use the rudders without power. The likely reason it over turned has to do with the propellers. If the propellers normally rotate clockwise when going forward they would rotate counter clockwise when reversing. When the secondary power came on it seems to me that the helm put the engines in full reverse which would cause it to turn slightly starboard initially. I am speculating this based on the large cloud of black smoke it expelled right before the collision. I am not a marine expert but my father was in the Navy for 30 years.
The smoke was from a fire that started on the ship before it hit the bridge
Police shut down the bridge before it fell. Only the construction crew was left on the bridge when it fell. 8 men were part of that crew 2 were saved 1 not hurt the other rushed to hospital. Later 2 bodies were pulled from the water and they were dead bodies unfortunately 4 bodies still not found yet. I feel bad for the families.
I know someone who use to live near were that bridge was
Fallin behind on them ship vids mate,Dont have to be Titanic,Do Bismarck the way it sunk and how it tumbled down deeper & deeper is freakin insane
I feel like they should’ve double checked everything in the breaker room. Because all power to the ship was going in and out.
Looking at the design of the bridge itself, it doesn’t look like the supports are all that sturdy and I am concerned that the bridge may have been poorly designed.
Echoes the Almö bridge accident in a way.
I know the pods won't be able to help turn because the propellers won't be turning to push the ship left or right
Sam make part two of the Queen Mary series and please make part 1 and 2 of the t😊win towers
First of all my deepest condolences to the victims and their families. I do have a question that may lead into another question if I may. The main question is: weren't there supposed to be tugboats to help ships like that get out of the port into the open seas safely? And one other question I would like to ask, I have had a deep fear of cruise ships due to Titanic, and other both ocean liners and cruise ships that have met bad disasters (not that any disaster is good), what would be a good idea to overcome these fears?
Sam is everything ok
Couldn't they use the horn to warn the bridge? Or the horn also require power?
Or make a call to the nearest police station or whatever, to clear the bridge?
I mean the ship was going very slow. Surely they had time to make some calls. I mean come on
Sadly, the horn requires power
@@gemini8project ok about the horn. But I really wonder if they made any calls.
Because it's said that there was very little traffic for a bridge oh it's length. Strange. I do wonder if they were alerted
A horn blowing wouldn’t tell people “hey this ship’s lost power”. They did give a Mayday call, which allowed police to close off all traffic to the bridge.
@@SciTrekMan there was still some traffic though. That's what strange. I mean you know shit's going to happen. Just close the damn bridge.
@@DenisLiasis They did close the bridge just a few minutes before it hit.
20 cars? I heard there were no cars because they stopped traffic just before the collision. The truck was part of the road crew.
In terms of gross tonnage, this cargo ship measures twice as big as Titanic. I live in Northern Virginia south of Washington DC. They are investigating what caused the cargo ship to lose power and why they didn't call for tug boats to help. They issued a may day shortly before hitting the bridge. It appears to be just a tragic accident. There is no evidence of terrorism
I think Dali is pronounced like "Dolly" as it's named after the artist. Though it's a Danish ship, so I don't know how they pronounce it.
so i looked it up and ships like the Dali needs electricity to propulse the single propellor and to turn the rudder since the rudder needs steam to turn i presume that the loss of electricity made it impossible for the crew to turn but it also could mean that the rudder was enable to turn after the power loss.
steam no, the rudder works with hydraulic pumps and the main engine (the prop) with heavy fuel oil
Baltimore bridge collapsing is just like my current financial state! No more
Terrible what happened. God watch over the poor souls on the bridge. My theory (which I hope is wrong) that the ship was somehow sabotaged
Hey Sam can u make a video about could we raise the Britannic as everyone saying why don’t we raise the titanic but I thought could we just raise the Britannic as they r sisters ship
