Politicians should stop spending money on wars, campaigns, they should rebuild the infrastructure, do something good to the people.
The ship was hacked and then remote controlled. Power was cut off to avoid manual override.
Trump did it to heat up the election
I think they got that bridge from Ikea.Seriously who looked at the plans and said "Yes that'll be fine."??? Who designs a bridge in a busy shipping lane that is hanging by a thread from day one and one mishap away from total collapse at any time?
How much money did they save compared to how much this will cost to fix?
If this had happened in rush hour….
Someone at City Hall needs prison time for this.
“Leave the earth behind”
Who the captain on the ship cargo
What a tragic event. This is the reason I am always scared of to dead when I cross any bridge special over water 😢. In my prayers 🛐
It ain’t no slow motion movie type of falling, you’re falling high, hard and uncontrolled.
Omg how easily the bridge collapsed, the tragic loss of lives, water so cold. 😢💔🙏
It's so crazy to see how easily a whole bridge can just disappear like that. Makes me wonder if we need to go back to square one when it comes to building bridges and find a better support system so the whole bridge would'nt give out like that. Just a part.
How does something like that happen without no prevention effort?
First a terrorist attack in Russia, now a ramming of a bridge in Baltimore! Scary to think what will happen next?
Pray for all from Europe union
These Hyundai built boats
3:53 Of course this bridge (a superstructure) is going to be vulnerable if you remove one of the primary load-bearing columns (solid pillars). All bridge pillars are very important but this specific one (that was crashed into) undergoes higher stress which is why it is more reinforced than most of the pillars – this specific pillar failing catastrophically will make the bridge exponentially vulnerable.
My fair lady 🤦♂️🤦♀️🤦
Believe there’s only cables holding up this type of bridge so they are prone to failure if even one support gets knocked out if anyone the bridge too Oakland that wind sheer took out believe it was call d the Oakland Bridge I’ll keep you posted
Hardly a rescue operation more like recovery..
Someone just lost their job. 🤷♂⛵
I pray for everyone who was on that bridge during that tragic event that they will be found and those who have passed away that they may rest in peace and God have mercy on their soul 🙏🏼 ❤
seems there was time to call and have that bridge shut down..
Шо цэ ИГИЛ
Billionaires need those tax breaks, move on people.
That bridge does not collapse like that. It had explosives on it.
Maybe it was a terrorist attack
The new demolition company have arrived.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
