    Crew on the ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore issued an urgent mayday call when they realised there was “an immediate threat to life”, which was "the right call", explains marine accident investigator Gavin Pritchard.

    Recovery, Loss of power, steering or main engines, and an ebbing tide pushing the vessel, no tugs. No time to do anything the water will take them anywhere.
    The bridge was weak though to collapse like that it was definitely weak.

      @@thomashenderson3901 The designers should have considered that it might be hit by a ship and put a protective barrier around the supports so the vessel would not damage the bridge. Just like the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco Bay Bridge have. The San Francisco Bay Bridge has been hit by a ship and didn't even put a scratch in it. It hit the 20ft fender built around the base supports. It just damages the ship, not the bridge. The designer of that bridge did think about a ship hitting it.

      The Baltimore Port Authority should have tug boats escorting all ships past this bridge. The Pilots are responsible for safety of the people, the environment and economy. The Captain is responsible in open waters.
      There is also no evidence the ship lost propulsion as mentioned in the video. The ship appears to have lost control. Marine AIS shows the ship picked up speed to 8.9 knots prior to the collision then slowed to 6 knots seemingly after the anchor was released.

      In 1975, the concrete Tasman Bridge in Hobart Australia was hit by an 11,000 tonne oil tanker. This bridge is of similar size to the Baltimore Key Bridge. Part of the Tasman Bridge collapsed, 12 people were killed and the ship sank.

      Many overseas shipping companies are self-insured or carry liability insurance for the damage they did, but it could take years even to collect the money. Most of those ships are flagged in countries that protect the shipping company to limit damage payouts. The families will not get a dime from the shipping company in reality, except after years of legal fighting and the protection the shipping company has. None of them are based in the U.S. like cruise ships are.

      Yes, we do know it was an accident, nothing but an accident. Even the FBI said it was an accident. This is not the first ship to hit a bridge and will not be the last. The ship was under the command of two bar pilots that are U.S. citizens. Pilots are highly trained experts in ship navigation in confined waters and possess extensive knowledge of local conditions. Their role is to protect the people, economy, and environment of their area by guiding ships safely and expeditiously through the waters of their regions.
      All ship also have data recorders, that will tell the NTSB what speed, direction, voice commands being given on the bridge, any other issues depending on the type of the data recorder.

      Oh FGS. The ship suffered a mechanical failure, loss of power/loss of steering. Once that happens the ship is completely out of control to the whims of mother nature's river/ocean currents and winds. Many ships have suffered mechanical failures in the past and will suffer mechanical failures in future. Same as how cars, planes, etc suffer mechanical failures. It's a fact of life. Everything mechanical can potentially fail. Don't start BS conspiracy theories.

      Remember, just like aircraft, ships operate in a media that is itself moving. This is an estuary in a river where there is a flow out to sea plus tidal interaction. What was the state of the tide - flowing in, flowing out or slack water? ships can only steer if they are moving faster than the water that is carrying them along. Also, the inertia in a ship weighing around 110,000 tonnes takes some overcoming requiring time and space!

      No! As has been stated. The ship lost power and steering, putting it completely out of control to the whims of the rivers currents and the winds resulting in it drifting uncontrollably into the bridge. This happens to ships sometimes as they are mechanical and everything mechanical can potentially fail. The reporter even mentioned other previous incidents of ships losing power/steering and running aground or crashing into things. It happens sometimes, exactly how planes crash sometimes due to mechanical failure. So no not deliberate.

    obviously a simple case of corruption, bridges and buildings are supposed to be designed to withstand foreseeable accidents like ship collisions... clearly this ship is beyond the safety limits of the port, they just chose profit over safety. Then a complete lack of regulation surrounding maintenance too.
    its ironic they even have port pilots that steer the ships out, because no way would a company risk taking responsibility for such an accident themselves.
    this is the problem when you have an entire country governed by sociopaths, they cant comprehend anything beyond the most simple concepts, theyre incapable of wrapping their heads around things like 'statistical inevitability', 'exponential' or even 'trust'. they'd rather cobble together a diy submarine and charge a million bucks for dives to the titanic and call it 'innovation'.

      @@dbarrett747 didnt realise it was such a contentious subject, before i focused my study on neuroscience i studied engineering... its routine practice for potential accidents and disasters to be factored into the design of a structure so youre not wasting a huge amount of resources on something that could potentially go down tomorrow. The bridge was built in the 70s when there werent ships of that size passing through the ports, as such its obvious someone since made the decision that the profit larger ships could bring was more important than what the structural integrity of its surrounding structures allowed for.
      Then, we all know the corrupt state of the world economy, america in particular where there are little to no protections against corruption in government. Regulatory bodies are routinely defunded in america and as such corruption becomes more common place anywhere a buck or two could be saved regardless of the risk generated, resulting in things like botched quality assurance/maintenance on things like structures, vessels and aircraft. The ship was repeatedly losing power meaning some kind of problem went unaddressed before leaving port, the bridge itself couldve also been compromised beyond the fact it was already at significant risk to the surrounding vessels.
      America is well known to be a highly fear driven culture with high levels of trauma and mental health issues amongst its citizens and a lack of regulation around toxic substances used in its food, construction and manufacture that cause things like neurological disorders (heck, asbestos is only now being banned, decades after the rest of the developed world). The stress/fear hormone, cortisol, is well known to shape the brain to a sociopathic manner, enlarging the amygdyla (the primitive chimp brain) and shrinking grey matter (reducing cognitive depth and complexity) - its why bootcamp subjects soldiers to high stress, to make a more fearfully reactive tool that doesnt think too deeply on what theyre doing. The countries values are also overtly sociopathic in nature where every aspect of its medical, education and justice systems is built to benefit the rich and powerful whilst trampling the poor and powerless.
      With things only getting worse, Its safe to say the country is run by sociopaths, particularly with their recent obfuscation of the genocide in gaza. Sociopayhs are also well known to be risk takers, hence their tendency toward crime. Risking infastructure for personal gain will always be worthwhile to the sociopathic mind, even if the cost of those risks are greater in the long run and particularly if they believe they are likely to be far from consequence when an accident resulting from their actions occurs.

    • @stephenludlum9746

      The odds would be more like 99.9999%. It was just an accident. There are usually around 3 to 6 personnel in the engine room when leaving port and where movement is restrained, so that means everyone of the engine room was on the scheme. Any time the engine is shut down or has issues the first thing it does is set off alarms, including on the bridge. Also, it would be straightforward to go to the control room and playback on the console the alarms and what the cause was without even having to access the data recorder. And I'm sure that was the first thing the FBI and NTSB did. Some modern ships also have a video system that records the engine room activities, not sure if this ship does. I'm also sure the FBI interviewed the engine room crew before they went home. It is sure the FBI has ready and interviewed the crew.
      The NSTB has no authority to hold the crew until they have been interviewed in the U.S. Only the FBI/DOJ does. So that was done immediately with both the FBI and NSTB. So by now, the FBI has a very good idea if this was caused on purpose.
