Total bridge collapse in Baltimore...
- Thread starter *Jay*

I think the couple hundred foot drop would have killed most unfortunately.
I thought that at first too, but several of those pieces didn’t seem t be in free fall.
Maybe it’s just the scale.
Holy shit….

Must have been an inability to steer. Some kind of mechanical problem I guess. The weather seemed pretty clear from the live footage.

It's clear weather, a little chilly, but clear. Complete power failure on the ship is what they're saying.
I remember when the old Skyway bridge in Tampa got hit. That was the pilots fault in that one.

I mean I didn’t see any tugs. Clearly loses power a couple times and you can see the engines billowing smoke so they tried to back out but possibly had only one engine looking at the stacks
Ships captain was probably a diversity hire and or I wouldn’t be surprised if a whistleblower was on that bridge.
One of Hunter's "business associates" must have been crossing the bridge.
Looked like complete electrical outage a second after the hit.
Unfortunately these days, this was my first thought. I mean.................

A.P. Moller - Maersk (OTCPK:AMKBF) (OTCPK:AMKBY) turned lower in Copenhagen after saying it had chartered the container vessel that collided early Tuesday with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, bringing down the entire structure.
The Dali vessel was headed from Baltimore to Colombo, Sri Lanka; it is owned by Singapore's Grace Ocean Pte and managed by Synergy Marine Group, Reuters reported.
The ship was carrying cargo for Maersk (OTCPK:AMKBF) (OTCPK:AMKBY) customers but no Maersk crew or personnel were onboard at the time of the accident.
The bridge - a major steel crossway that carries Interstate 685 - collapsed into the Patapsco River after it was hit by the containership, sending cars and people into the water; the fire department said as many as 20 people likely fell into the water.
The Francis Scott Key Bridge is the entryway to the Helen Delich Bentley Port of Baltimore, the largest port in the U.S. for specialized cargo such as trucks, tractors and trailers, as well as a gateway for bulk cargo such as coal and petroleum products.
~800K vehicles passed through the port in 2023, moving 3M tons of cargo, and Coast Guard officials say the collapse will have ripple effects on the port's operations that could last for months.
