Rescue workers in Baltimore are working furiously in an attempt to save the lives of dozens of people who were plunged into the freezing waters of the Patapsco River when the Francis Scott Key bridge snapped and collapsed after being hit by a container ship. Video shows the astonishing moment when the bridge collapsed after the collision. Initial reports indicate that at least a dozen cars fell into the water including just as many construction workers who were working on the bridge at the time. Coast Guard search and rescue vessels were surrounding the ship early on Tuesday. Maryland State Police AW-139 helicopters were also deployed to assist in rescue operation. The ship involved is the Dali, a Singaporean-flagged container which could be seen on ship tracking websites positioned stationary under the bridge following the crash. Around 30,000 vehicles use the bridge every day. As a result of the collapse, the city of Baltimore is now cut off for traffic from the sea. #Keybridge #sea #maryland

Wait are all those lights cars ?
How Tragic!
Karma works in funny ways
They can't even spell collision 😅😂
This should not have happened. 😢
Retired merchant marine engineman 38 years you can see the stacks bellowing out large plumes of black smoke indicating a very high demand load on the engines also it looked like the ship was turned into the bridge supports ?? Wow something really looks fishy.
WAR 3
The ports in Baltimore 95.5 percent of total tonnage handled by U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Why are there such flimsy supports on this bridge and the bridge itself looks flimsy? The supports must be such that a ship cannot destroy them
Many many returns of the day in USA , We Love Russia , becoz We are Indians
How convenient now to double prices for the public due to the fact no supplies getting through for months on this ship channel
Chinese could rebuild the bridge a lot faster and have safety features . A suspension bridge with no peers in the critical areas. Americans rebuilding this bridge will take years
Like Gaza. Lol.
Like Gaza. Lol.
I wonder if that is ok to build a bridge so that hitting one single pillar will lead the rest of the construction to fall apart?.. I am in no way engineer, so just pondering.
Here are the mistakes I see. The Container Ship wasn't in the middle between the pillars of the bridge. There were no tug boats to help the big ship to assist. The power on the ship was a big culprit that lead to this destruction.
It was Mothman!
I'm beginning to wonder about American construction companies with the collapse of the world trade towers in new york the surfside condo collapse in miami now this all collapses seemed to happen to easy
the bridge was whacked on purpose as a blind man could figure out in under 2 minutes.
Some of YouTube media had turn off the comments because they are are fraid of truth come out! Remember some dudes claim American construction is the best in the world! This proves it!
Works without Storm shadow or Taurus.
The ship hit the bridge back ward
Build Back Better!!
