The last vehicle made it off the bridge just 40 seconds before impact. Incredible response by police officers in stopping traffic! They saved many lives.
At 0.01 ship is seen illuminated. At 0:15 the lights are out. At 1:14 the lights are back on. Shop's power is provided by generators in the engine room does the loss of lights indicate a power outage perhaps of the main engine also? Question...Is electrical power required to operate helm and rudder to maintain steering? Note also that there's no smoke visible above the ship until a plume of smoke begins at about 1:34 was that the engine restarting or was that an emergency order "all astern full"? Heavy smoke right up tp time of impact. NTSB is going to be very busy!
The traffic stoppage looks like happenstance. That, and drivers could possibly have seen the ship as they approached the bridge. If you'll notice, traffic from camera left stopped a long time before the camera right traffic.
Anyone watch the traffic closely as the ship was approaching. Cars and tractor-trailers crossing just b/f it hits. At the time of impact, it did not appear any traffic was on the bridge. If so, that was amazing. Was that the result of police holding back traffic?
@@raquelvasquez5152 When there are construction crews working on the bridge, Port Authority Transit Cops enforce lower speed limits by posting vehicles on the approach roads. Once they got the call about the ship emergency, they just stopped all traffic approaching the bridge.
What I wanna know is.How did the ship barely hit that pylon?And that entire bridge collapse.I mean seriously.You think that bridge wasn't bound to collapse
My grandmother's always saying that it was probably way too old by now but I agree as well. But at the same time we only see it on videos and when comparing it to seeing this live I'm sure it would make a huge difference in what we see. That cargo ship is pretty big
I guess the police wouldn't have had time to get to them to alert them. They JUST managed to stop the traffic in time with the last vehicle on the bridge off it only 40 seconds before impact! This means they only closed the bridge about 1.5m-2m before impact!
This is what happens when you hire out more people with less training and less maintenance to save a buck. Going 8 knots... JFC 8 knots is the equivalent of going 50mph in a 15mph zone. Typically it’s a 3 to 4 Knots is normal high speed. Biden saying that he is going to have the government pays for its replacement... FJB make the company responsible pay for the bridge and the deaths and property damage on this. This is unacceptable. There is NO situation in that this could ever happen under normal conditions and even under sub optimal conditions. This was intentional, no if's and's or but's about it. There is no reason for it to be going that fast. Chances are they overloaded the electrical system that was probably in some poor maintenance when they tried to reverse. trying to slow down a 8knot container ship that size is like a human trying to hold back an elephant, yea eventually you will slow it down and get it to turn around but it's going to take a LOT OF TIME AND DISTANCE. Just trying to turn that ship takes a LOT OF DISTANCE. The course it had locked in for collision must have been 5 miles back; otherwise it would have hit it from the side. A head on like this is ABSOLUTELY intentional and 100% avoidable in every way.
I totally agree with you. There's a lot more space into avoiding hitting the bridge rather than actually hitting it. I have no idea why those on the cargo ship never took action nowadays technology is pretty advanced they could have used their phones as a flashlight. They could have also used the map to see where they find themselves

Yeah, it could have been much worse.
OMG for sure think about it if this actually happened throughout the day time how many people would have been gone by now.
My search for "Leave the World Behind" lead me to this video as the top result.
Same here bro
@@guyfisher7078terrifying
@@guyfisher7078 well that is terrifying
Uh oh !
Why is the bridge demolished?
Ship hit the bridge. Accidentally
May the Lord bless the family of those who lost their lives just imagine those last few minutes before their death😢.

great observations
Thank you! There is much to consider and learn!

Bridge: HEY CARGO SHIP WATCH WHERE YOU GO BRO ARE YOU BLIND
Cargo ship: Dte dte dtedtodte dte dto
Bridge: -----💀
Notice how the news media never released any of the names of the crew members and the captain of the 🚢
Interesting
@@blakmath2554 yep
That's really smart of you I never thought about that.

I think so.
Yes it is a miracle but from what I remember seen on the news I think they did say one car went into the water.

Poor design.

Wonder why the construction guys did not leave
Good Question.

WOW 😢
Why leave the ports at night surely daylight is better?
Perhaps less traffic.
Port operations are round the clock. There are departures and arrivals daytime and nighttime.
LOL I don't think there is traffic in the ocean😂@@blakmath2554
And Joe said he took the train and drove over it traveled it many times.
It looked like it backed into the bridge
Crazy stuff
Much more was involved. An org named "CONSPIRA" offers a 70+ part series delving deeply into all known anomalies. There are so many!...
😯
ITS BROKE
YES
