Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 бер 2024
- The vessel appears to have hit one of the supports of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing the roadway to break apart in several places and plunge into the water
My sincere sympathy to the victim's families and the people of Maryland. This accident is a massive tragedy that I know the people of this wonderful state will overcome. Sending love from Canada.
Awww thank you! From a Baltimorean. I'm in downtown and it's oddly calm here. I think everyone is just relieved this disaster didn't happen in the middle of the day or during rush hour. I am personally hoping that there wouldn't be too many casualties. One is more than enough! 😥 This is definitely a tragedy. But once they've done rescue and recovery then the major thing it affects is the traffic which I hope everyone can adjust to. Other than that, it's really the casualties that we are concerned about. Hope not too many and they are found! Sadly I don't think anyone can survive a fall into the Patapsco River. 😰
Hey Canada! I live 1 mile away from this bridge.. we survive things like this no worries. Dundalk is a tough town..like many others.
What we struggle to survive are politicans.
@@utubefreshieits the BS politicans that are the hardship
@@pibarrante6901 Yeeeaaah. Someone said Brandon Scott looked like a deer in headlights! He is and has been in over his head. Damn
Absolutely awful. Prayers for all those who have lost their lives and prayers for those who survive! 😢
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The shock pain disaroie in face of a disaster of this size . So very sorry for All involved at having to face the task ahead. From France.
Bonjour! The splash heard round the world! We survive these things, we do our jobs. Its the politicans that make it hard.
Prayers for all from Missouri. And prayers for the Governor .
Lord please have mercy!🙏
prayers for baltimores people . the victoms and all the people working to find survivors
Such a terrible incident. Idk what more to say other than sending prayers to the families of anyone involved in this. From a 30+ year resident of Essex (Baltimore)… this one hurt. We’ve been in Texas for 9 years now, but this still hit me different. Just the gravity of it, it’ll be rough for a while. That’s a big part of the 695 beltway.
The skyline has changed!
This is really annoying. For every 10 seconds of information there is 90 seconds of telling what a great job everyone is doing.
Political response 🙄
They are still proud of themselves.
So I am not the only one turned off by the self aggrandizing by each speaker. Just do the job and the truth will follow. Most fair minded people understand the gravity and complexity of the job at hand.
Doesn't he look so traumatized...these people are ALL A ctors!
Dog and Pony Show
God bless and comfort every person affected by this horrible event. I ask that God strengthens each one, in Jesus name, AMEN. 🙏🙏💖💙
AMEN FROM NC. BORN AND LIVED NOT FAR FROM THIS
😢🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for all involved in rescue and families to any who have lost loved ones ⚖️🇺🇸
Prayers from Chicago in this tuff time lord please help these ppl in Baltimore
Instead of “Collapse” which makes it sound like a structural problem, I believe they should use the words “accidentally destroyed”. GOD BE WITH THE FAMILIES
I agree. And 8 knots is too fast in a no wake zone.
See, the thing is it COLLAPSED, why? Because a SHIP HIT IT. Why is it so motherloving hard for you big brains to use logical deduction? You must be as thick skilled as the Commonwealth reporter.
I pray they recover everyone. 😢
40 inch deep tears in eyes I don't want to type rip 😢
Dont be so sad. Had this happened at 7am it would have been traffic.
Not a word about the ship's crew or what their doing or were doing?
They haven't been interviewed completely yet.
Um, this was only about eight or so hours after it happened. I'd say give them time to investigate. Also, it's "what they're doing", not THEIR doing ..... government run school attendee, I'm guessing?
The brain rot in these comments is crazy. A tragedy happened and you jump to conspiracy theories first. Absolute scourge on society. I hope all the families that are affected find peace and that the city can heal and rebuild.
It's a reflection of our country bruh ....better buckle up ....what you think gonna happen when the lights go out
Won't be no kumbaya
It's going to get nasty when the lights go out. I'm hoping for the rapture first. But if not I'm going to make fun of the political system
You're the rot bullying people for Expressing their opinions. 1A is still alive 🤡🤡. Move to q communist country where you're in control of speech.
@@marlonbrando5264This administration has failed us with security issues come to the Arizona border where I live Biden’s open border has let in people who want to do us harm military age men from countries that hate America it’s not hard for people to suspect nefarious activity!
They literally said the FBI is investigating to make sure it wasn't terrorism. You're delusional if you don't think conspiracies exist. Ask Moscow.
😢Sending love from Georgia.💛❤️🩹
To all the first timers out there. You don’t drive a boat. You conn a boat. RIP Pappa Jim.
Prayers for all involved.
So easy to block a port and halt all shipping activity.
No. We depend on shipping.. we are surrounded by ports down here. From fed ex distribution to carnival cruises ..we even held deloreans for a bit. Cant stop shipping.
Maryland is strong. They will rebuild bigger and better. Fairies for locals might help. Businesses should let workers out at different times to help with driving congestion. Personality I could not sit in the harbor tunnels for hours with traffic. Good Luck my home town. You have sacrificed through so much. With the right people in charge and good nieghboring folks that have old fashion narritives. Baltimore could be a bomming town again. Stay patient. Stay wise and stay strong.
Styles P should really send the prayers and thoughts to familes of the impacted first and all through this update!!!! Thoughts to those who are hurting and anybody lost!!!
I just said the same thing!
It’s amazing how all the heart felt. Thank you and praising when something horrific happens pathetic politicians do your work and show us your works Not the praising at moment this is a moment of action.
God bless all
Baltimore is the 9th largest and busiest port of entry in the US.
By now, probably everyone is dead. It must have been horrifying for the drivers and families on the bridge to plumage into the water at night to their death! Let's congratulate "De-regulation" for: condos collapsing, train derailments, airplane doors blowing off and bridges falling apart like domino's.
Plumage (from Latin pluma 'feather') is a layer of feathers that covers a bird and the pattern, color, and arrangement of those feathers.
Wow unbelievable 😮😮😮😮😮
God bless you Mayor Moore. Prayers are with you, God guide all to do all that is needed at this time.
if you are looking for information on cars on the bridge - don't bother listening until the very last 30 seconds when we learn that they will not comment on that.
They are in the water and the people are dead. Not sure what else you need to know beyond that at this point. The real answers and details are going to take weeks to get to after engineers and the NTSB start their investigation and divers get in the water to start cleanup and recovery.
Praying
You've been fixing potholes and dodging speeding cars for years only to be taken out by a ship on a bridge. Man what a way to go. RIP road crew folks..
Well said, Governor Moore.😢🙏🏾
We will pray for our fellow Americans and yes we are strong Americans. We stand and support you in victory and in sorry. Thank you Governor
Who fell asleep on boat? There’s no way you can see where you’re going!!
It appears the boat may have lost power. Maybe stop jumping to conclusions before we actually know.
Wind and fast speed of the boat caused it to go off course is current thought
The boat lost power do some more research
I'm not buying what
they're selling.Sorry.
Ignorant people making stupid comments in a tragedy. They're still looking for survivors, have some empathy for the lost workers and their families.
As a Special Operations first responder (water rescue and structural collapse included) the reality is that it is highly unlikely there are any other survivors.
Most survivors are located and removed from the situation within the first few minutes.
It’s nice to have words of encouragement and try and help people keep the faith and their hopes up but, unfortunately most died within minutes if not immediately.
The media and public information officers unfortunately cannot report what they already know.
This happenend 2times so far they need to have backups for steering a ship. Should be a whole seperate backup system that is located in the bridge. Same teason staten island ferry crashed lost power to the controls.
God bless all the familys.
In instances like this I don't care what a politician says. Have the professional rescue and investigation authorities speak.
It’s their responsibility to the public. They have to speak.
@@UlrichW-mm8yzhe is too patronizing imo. And why wasnt his butt riverside at 2am?
He’s in awe! 🫢
Such a shame…prayers for all of you 🙏
If it was a terrorist attack it wouldnt have happened at 1am on a work night.
It could be if they want to interrupt cargo.
Wow they really dodged the question about people in the vehicles. 🤔
Governor, why not say a quick pray or acknowledge the people / families who might have lost loved ones first? Instead, you thank the first responders. I support all first responders, but c'mon man.
100 percent agree. The first responders get paid, but the innocent people who were driving on the bridge are most likely dead.
He literally said that about prayer. I’m confused
Prayer is uselss virtue signaling
Everybody prayed. Jeez. Did you?
You people are never happy. Can you just be miserable in silence and not complain on here?
Stunning 😮
Governor Wes Moore is a sage, it is fortunately we have his chief skill and wisdom handling this situation in Maryland. The situation is bad, but I am thankful for the specific governor
Let's go ahead and invest in hemp biofuel now, including a law making it the mandatory fuel (any biofuel, all of which are fully biodegradable if spilled, not exclusively hemp biofuel but it will be available) for all ships exiting Maryland ports, this ensures us against environmental damage should there be the rare spill and it gives the biodiesel producing community a stable income aside from the money they are generating from being used by Montgomery county rideon buses.
I am glad that the omens are pressing the United States government to explore full capacity of the possible uses of hemp including fuel, lumber substitute, and textile.
It is a shame that the Francis Scott Key Bridge fell, however we must also give gratitude that a much larger problem didn't occur because of an oil spill! In a sense we are very lucky still, but it is the time to make precautions for the future and start a trend that other nations and ports of the USA will follow with a mandatory biofuel requirement, biofuel runs in all motors the normal fossil fuels run in.
Senator van Holland showed the sympathy you’d hope your governor to do. Thank you for the respect to the families.
If they were able to stop cars from coming up the bridge why were they not able to notify the workers on the bridge? Prayers for all the workers.
I thought I heard they were notified, but didn't have enough time to get off. Again, from what I READ or heard on videos, those vehicles that went in the water were unoccupied by the work crew. I may be wrong though. Just relaying what I heard from the 911 calls.
There is clear security cam video of the entire event...the ship can be seen to have lost power, turned totally dark and then drift out of control with large volumes of black smoke coming off it's stern before it hit the bridge pillar dead on...I have no clue what the officials are watching because there's zero mystery that this was anything but an unfortunate accident.
I concur!
You're both naive
@@Proverbs--tx6yrPeace Beloved what do believe happened?
Was this boat hacked?
I feel so, so many things could be avoided even if the power went out
Just give the facts, and not an over dramatic performance.
And....if he acted like he doesn't give a enough of a damn about the severity of the situation, you would be in here saying the guy has no empathy. Go back to work, my lunch is almost over.
I actually wasn't going to leave a comment but after reading everybody else's comments I feel the same way what was he talking about like I just feel like he's so rehearsed like get to it and let's be more sincere
You know those guys have people to write their speeches. Most of them don’t care about this nation either.
We survive bad things. Its politicans that are hard to survive.
It was a cyber attack. There were power outages in other areas. I heard other ships had lost power.
THIS IS A VERY SAD SITUATION AND MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO ALL THE VICTIMS. HOWEVER, NOT ONE WORD ABOUT THE PERSON WHO WAS BEHIND THE WHEEL OF THIS DISASTER, NOT ONE WORD! WHY? DID THE BRIDGE COLLAPSE OR DID IT COLLAPSED AS A RESULT FROM BEING HIT? THERE’S A DIFFERENCE IN A COLLAPSED BRIDGE OR ONE THAT WAS HIT. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT THE DRIVER AND THE CREW???
Why didn't they mandate Tugs guide the ships into the harbor. Tugs would have pushed that ship away when they had a problem you could see that ship lost power. Technology fails they need to change policy and get those Tugs out there.
Tugs did their job and pushed them out into the channel. Ship lost power after it was under power and moving out under the bridge. Lost power and drifted into the bridge
Tugs are used to get the ship in the channel. They did that. Having more moving boats going under a bridge only raises risks long term. Some times things fail and an accident is just an accident and there is no one to blame.
@@hgbugalou They didn't get under the bridge, they hit it and that accident is going to cost that business a lot they may not survive. The Tugs used to follow along with the ships until they were safely clear of the harbor, going under a bridge is not out to sea.
@@mauriceevans6546 When I was on the USS United States the Tugs followed us out of the New York habor to open sea, likewise when we came in Bremerhaven they came out and met us before we got to the harbor. Sounds like we need to get back to safer practices.
Then we pray. Lord watch over the lost, watch over their family's, watch of entire state. Watch over the world. ❤
Where is the port authority
This is a tragic event‼Its those victims & their families we wanna hear about‼Not all your pat on the back political bull💩. YOU ARE PAID TO DO A JOB! Not hi-jack a press conference tragedy to glorify yourself! Those victims deserve better‼💯
Did he thank the workers?
Whats in Baltimore
LORD HELP!
If people were trapped in their cars why don't they say they found the car the race the car from the water and if they have a survivor or a victim and call it what it is and investigation!
Incompetency at its worst!
And if it’s proven that the boat lost power, like in the actual footage of the crash? Then what? Who’s incompetent?
The 8 workers are the reason why roads are safe. Fixing the potholes and now the 6 of them may never return home doing the job to give us a safer commute.
Right after accident they are blood and piss testing the pilots. The tug boats have liability for not following protocol also
How the F Did this happen
🙏🏽
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Gov says we must get this bridge up in running well that's going to take years not to say an astronomical price tag attach to it
why are they being sketchy about cars being on the bridge during the collapse? if they know that there were some, they should say so. if they don't know yet, they should say that.
It was cars on the bridge you can see the lights going across right before it went down 😢
@@UlrichW-mm8yz Oh, they didn't say that in the press conference that I watched. I must have missed an earlier announcement then. Thanks.
You just let ships bump into stuff all day long right?
🙏❤️🙏❤️
The power failed on the ship. An expert came on and esplained what happened when the ship lost power and, subsequently control. The person who came on and explained gave us more well-reasoned info in ten minutes than any TV stations or government officials.
I'm glad for these " experts" . Because without them we would be lost 😢
And you buy that load of bologna?
He said this project 🤔 no one will question that?
So the missing is construction workers, is that right?
So sad, Get them lawyers ready any and everyone
So how much this gonna cost us regular people?
Wanna thank all the rich politicians for talkin and making everyone else do something about the situation
Just wow. Baltimore is a lost cause.
i didn't know styles p was the governor of maryland
Sad day sad day. It should not be when tragedy strikes that people come together. Tragedy knows no color, it has no race. People we continue to let politics divide us and it is sad. I prayer for those that may have lost there lives and the city.
There better be some transparency and how these ships are supposed to be escorted and caretaking for this not to ever happen It should never happen ever!
That's bs because I saw 3 cars and one tractor trailer go in look at video
On later videos they disappear. Weird huh.
The Governor looks like
the rapper Styles P.
The governor is not comfortable , something's fishy
is this Wes moore who has a book about him called The other Wes Moore?
Yes that’s him
What an amazing gentleman. I didn't realize he went on and became Governor. Well deserving of a man!
NO ONE needs to hear from Van Hollen! 😡
It’s like the mayor was giving a vote of thanks no new information.
Hard right turn Full throttle ?
Negative ghost rider, hard left do it for Dale #3 RIP
This type of event sucks the oxygen from everyone, just difficult to believe we can’t anticipate and protect theses events. Proactive Management?
Oh they anticipate it all right..
This is an "accident"?!? LMAO 😂
Matatan
Ribirin H-S 😮
