Ship crashed into it init.
thats what happened fr
1:40 mans suspiciously over invested in not really stopping these complete death traps.
its time to ban the boats.
did it?
I saw no clown
Yeah but why
Why is this being reported as a bridge collapse? It’s really misleading, a ship crashed into a bridge, it didn’t just collapse
There reporting a bridge collapse because it literally did collapse lad and every news station has reported it was a ship at fault so how is it misleading 😂
Because it was up ⬆️ Now it’s down ⬇️. Pretty much the definition of “collapse.”
@@Rugelacharugula foreal 💯 that comment makes no sense 😂
This could've been much worse during the day time..
this has been a risk every single time one has gone past for YEARS
*could have
Top of your class no doubt 😅
Could have*
Driver went afk
Who was steering the ship Stevie Wonder
So naughty
That’s awful. Thoughts with the families effected.
Affected*
@@T0pMan15yeah, criticize the only mentally healthy commentator on this thread. Come on?
@@kurtheitman552 That is objectively not a criticism, but this is: don't be so soft.
@@T0pMan15effectively affected 😂
How lucky are those cars speeding off seconds before the collapse!
I wish good health and a great recovery to the people affected by this calamity. May your gains far outweigh the losses.
Car or vehicles transport stopped before collapse.
It has been reported that they had problems with the ship before they cast off so why did they set off with a ship that was not seaworthy?
$$$$$$$$
Because every ship in that port is on a tight schedule. They're not allowed to hang around.
The reason it didnt have the proper supports is the same reason the Grenfell Tower fire happened. Penny pinching.
Well it was made in the 70s dude
Wrong genius
Built to standards 40 years ago
a mass of 100,000 tons traveling at 8 knots has a lot of kinetic energy would be one hell of a structure to stand up to that
Controller disconnected
Lol
Was it even lite up where the supports are? It doesn't look like any lights were showing where they are for the ships passing.
"Going hard to port?" No...the ship went hard starboard! Why? But for that hard right it does not hit the pylon. Moreover, where were the dolphins or barriers that buffer the impact? After 1980 and the incident in Tampa where the Sunshine Skyways bridge was brought down by a large tanker ship, bridges everywhere started retroactively placing these buffer columns called "dolphins" around the actual support pylons of the bridge. What has the harbor authority been doing in Baltimore?
What, and raise the taxes to pay for protection of the bridge structure?
He said hes sure the pilot would try to turn it hard away from the bridge
00:44 Looks like the ship veered off course to purposely hit the bridge support ?
The ship lost power and once back up power came on the rudder was locked and the propulsion caused it to veer to the side. Then seconds later the ship started smoking and power went out again so they had no way to counter steer. So they ended up hitting the bridge with no control going at 9 knots.
It did.
Hind sight is always 20/20. If the harbor protocol were to keep the 2 tugs assigned to “undock” the Dali engaged until South of the FSK Bridge, there would have been no loss of the bridge. I suspect once the new bridge is built, that will become the new protocol.
I watched an operating ship engineer explain the prop effect from starting a single prop ship engine in reverse. In this instance which according to him that me be the case because of the dark smoke exiting the stack after electrical power loss. Upon start in reverse the prop turns counter clockwise (looking forward from astern the ship) which drives the bow to starboard turning the ship in this case directly into the lone South vertical support member.
In this case reversing the engines and deploying the port forward anchor with little distance between the ship and that major vertical support member was the wrong call. At this point until more information which may be contrary to this operating engineer’s view emerges, I believe this is the best explanation of what happened.
That port rules and regulations very bad. In USSR rules were that tugboats a must assign just for situations like that.
They were nowhere near a port, so what have port rules got to do with anything?
@Philweasel
It is port city responsibility have nothing to do with a distance. Any cargo ship not in open water can not operate without tugboats.
@@Philweasel not far from port at all plus they are way in an inlet with a low narrow bridge to avoid ...
yeah but that was only becuase everyone was clearly drinking the fuel and was utterly wasted. just like tu-144 crews used to drink the engine coolant coz it was basically vodka. it was not uncommon for tu-144 crews to land and have members be taken to the hospital with alcohol poisoning. the crazy part is everything i just said is real. google it.
In the scheme of the ocean they were very much near a port, well within land and certainly not in open ocean. My first thought was the same as the original poster, "why weren't they under tug until clear of obstructions?" Like the bridge. I fish for a living. I've had this very ship right next to me. Its enormous and certainly not easily maneuverable.
Uncle Albert?..
Made my day this comment 😂
😂😂
What odd events, what was a ship that size doing on a waterway that doesn't have a swing bridge oddly amateurish !
How aboat that?
God bless those on that bridge poor souls so sad. Rip 🪦 those who lost their lives in such an unexpected way 🙏 for your souls amen 🙏
How did it happen?
A big ship bumped into it .
They said it cost to much.. stopped the safety support system project
Tug Boats would have prevented this. Also the Mayor looked stoned.
Tugs are only used to get the ship out of port. They don't tug all the way to the ocean.🙄
Maybe the mayor was piloting the non existent tug boat? DUH!
Tug boats don’t just sit around on guard waiting for something like this to happen.
@@bestboy1986 I think he mean that the process should be in general.
@@daveh322Normally tugs would have been with them until they passed under the bridge. The reason for that? So things like this dont happen.
0:07 / 2:31
Baltimore bridge collapse: How did it happen? What a freakin stupid question? It would be still standing, if a huge ship hadn't smacked into it!
Grabbed the reboot cards quickly.
Hehe
😂
the ship should not have been going at such speeds when there is a bridge at the vicinity. Haven't the port authorities and the pilot heard of Murphy's law?
It's basically a torpedo once those engines fail!
Why aren't tugs deployed to guide ships in so close to built up areas!?
Can only hope those missing turn up safe
the bridge over troubled ship and the ship under troubled bridge
bro just made 811
Makes a change Sly news reporting REAL news for a change.
Perhaps it was the ship owners putting profits before maintenance
The wire will never seem the same again
Grabbed the reboot cards
They were gunning the engines obviously with the black smoke streaming out, too little way too late.
“The Key Bridge was an attack folks. Don’t listen to the lies being told it wasn’t. I’m former intel. Lived near the bridge when I worked at Fort Meade. After that, 32 years in cybersecurity. Now retired. This was a cyber attack through the ships navigation system. The ship didn’t lose power. The crew shutdown power frantically, twice, to reset the systems to try to thwart the attack. Obviously, that didn’t work. I can’t imagine ship navigation systems are any more secure than the notoriously unsecure ADS-B navigation system used by aircraft. Easy to hack.”
I hope the cargo is safe ….
Where is the onboard harbour master and why there is no tug boats to guide this vessel through the waterway.
Real life bridge builder!
Water way to go!!!
Ship damn f upped
That’s basically Murphy‘s law in one of the most ridiculous cases yet. Everything was just right for absolute disaster. Makes me think there’s a chance we all die by some stupid random chains of events at any moment.
The bridge was build in 1970...WOW,so advanced.
there were no ships that big back then
All they have to do is to show the powerlines next to the bridge, they have large collision protection.
I’m no engineer, but it seems to me that en entire bridge should not be compromised from one point of impact.
DEI driver
100% not an engineer.
I’d say 90% of the structures built before the 90s are insufficient and the government knows this. They just can’t afford to fix it so stay quiet and It’s swept under the rug for future generations to deal with… Seems a common theme with the boomer generation…
Clearly not an engineer and doesn't understand stress...
@@tylerdurden4006 I think his point was that, an engineer would not design a structure that can be damaged to failure so easily. He is correct. When designing a bridge, a strike by a vessel is one of the most obvious considerations…
Who did the pre-maintenance start up procedures? Surely they would have been aware of a malfunction if the correct procedures were carried out.
Who made the bridge stevie wonder it folded like origami
Let certain people tell it, it's the fault of DEI and the jacket the mayor was wearing...
Pray those missing be recovered and the injured recuperate from their injuries. Condolences to their various families.🙏
Magic
Not just a collapse of a bridge a collapse of society .!!
wrong context, but your funny ;)
We need TRUMP to save us in 2024. I am so concerned for our country. MAGA!!!
brother get off youtube
Comments pointing out the obvious being removed.
The Bridge looks very fragile. Maybe the construction of it should be looked into. Who approved it? who maintains it? Could be fraud involved and scrimping on matarials. I know the ship went into it but it collapsed like a pack of cards .It does not look robust. It was opened on the 23rd March 1977. Named after Francis Scott Key (poet).What was forcast for its lifespan?
Deliberately done. Distraction.
How did it happen brilliant 😅😅
Merryweather Heist?
Reminiscent of the Crimea Bridge.
So they are going to blame the internet.
Was the ship's captain from Ukraine?
No
The ukrainian captin turned the ship into the bridge
BS... Watch this on redacted for the truth
Blown up 👀
Petrol price will be up now! Thanks Dali 😑
😢😢😢😢😢
Criminal Negligence!
It is criminal negligence, but who's most to blame? the captain of the ship?, the owners of the ship? the bridge owners? the bridge designers? A tragedy but was it avoidable?
@@drgeoffangel5422the captain obviously
This is similar to Evergreen , it is Computer driven , and insufficiently manned by human workers .
must’ve been the chuckle brothers steering the ship
Just before Easter 😢
God rest their souls
I have been crying nonstop for the past 7 months of hearing of this incident.
This happened 2 days ago 😅
@@SmoochTheCat😂
It was done ON PURPOSE!!
Well there's your problem podcast were running out of topics, I smell conspiracy
The cotina drivers and their supribers
Planning planning planning
upsy daisy
ship drived in
Crap cheap bridge design, it's as simple as that!
It was bound to happen!!!!!!!
Don't understand small touch collapse brides.... what if earthquake
Jesus
Just a very poor bridge design
Missed the part where a large ship crashed into it?
Missed the part where the bridge was designed a century ago with ships 1/3 the size in consideration?
It was designed to be a bridge and not a crash barrier for ships that hadn't been built yet
As with the derailments in the US this will be down to safety measures being deemed bad for business as building a buffer of some sort around the pillars of the bridge would have impacted traffic sailing past and reduced the flow of goods.
Made in America 🇺🇸
It is not a large ship, it is a container ship, so it is more than "large"@@NoWindNoSunNoPower
So this is a ships version of a brown out. I bet there was plenty of brown.
USA in a nutshell
The person responsible was?
🤔 🤔🤔 😅
In trumps voice chyna 😂
This was prophesied by a woman on youtube two weeks before it happened.
Full of Alleged FARMING EQUIPMENT ok then.
It did not collapse it was knocked down and destroyed why lie we seen it happen
I don't think collapse and being "knocked down and destroyed" are mutually exclusive. Collapse is a form of destruction, a collision with a boat is the cause. A collapsed lung can be due to an injury and buildings can collapse in an earthquake. Something can collapse due to outside sources. Am I missing your point?
Collapsed as the result of a collision, yeah. This is not a contradiction.
Saw. Scuba diver.
That bridge was absolutely fed up 😂 he said all stuff used me to pass for eges so let them be an independent countries freedom for unfair service each other 😂😂😂😂😂😂 well done ship
Maintenance not done properly? Company should be responsible.
No ammount of maintenance could have prevented the collapse my friend. Nothing can withstand a hit from a ship that size.
Missed the part where a large ship crashed into it?
@@ssark9187 He's talking about the ship. Maintenance on the ship so it didn't have the power outage.
@@ssark9187 maintenance to the ship, nothing to do with the bridge, in the maritime sector shipping companies tend to cut costs including delaying parts and not doing maintenace properly, clearly the ship had blackouts by what was said in the news.
@@blackvirus9 it also crashed into a birth in denmark in 2016 (iirc) not the first time this boat has seen land when it wasn't suposed to.
Need to bull stay open bridge and hy enup for and ny bout go that way
That ship turned to purposefully hit that bridge support. It would have been fine if it carried on in its initial direction. This whole thing stinks.
Agreed
There is a channel going into the river on one side, the pressure difference caused it to veer off course
@@manoz6194 watch the vid in slo-mo
Engines fire up at 1.26 as evidenced by the funnel smoke, at that point the ship veers towards the support, while the engine is running, don’t see the funnel smoke stop up to the point of contact which suggests the engine was still running and it was a deliberate collision.
Look at the map. It changed its direction 2 min prior to target the pilon. Look at the sparks in the sections as it goes down. It got detonation help.
And Hitler is living on the moon
The sparks are from the power lines.
Interesting. Ukrainian ship. Ukrainian Master.
Where was this information from. I hear Singapore with most of the crew being Indian.
@@egypthobbymy mistake. singapore registered.
shoddy American infrastructure to blame it would seem. As the expert said proper support around the bridge would have avoided this.
Maybe if 🇺🇸 spent less spending billions and billions to 🇺🇦 and 🇮🇱 for war and more on its crumbling infrastructure then this wouldn't have happened!!
Americans build bridges like they build their houses.
Captain was obviously a MEGA supporter
Hahaha coincidence
first
Who even cares what happened?
I’m baffled how on earth did the ship go near the bridge im sure their should of been enough notice before it head that way. That’s so dumb. As if we don’t have enough clout in the air with the things going in the world I hope no one is seriously injured and thoughts and love with the families that has been affected ❤😢 titanic all over again
The ship lost power and had put out a distress signal. This allowed the bridge to be closed to traffic. Unfortunately there was not enough time to get the maintenance crew off the bridge.
6 people are presumed dead.
The more they keep posting this
The more suspicious it becomes
Ships can be cyber hijacked btw
Just a thought
A bridge to far.
A language too far.
