The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsed early Tuesday after a column was hit by a large container ship, sending people and vehicles into the Patapsco River, authorities said. The Maryland governor has declared a state of emergency as rescue teams continue to look for people in the water.

Well this ship hit the bridge right in the support that holds up the entire bridge. What I didn't expect is to see ships this large moving near a bridge with no tug escorts. The Ship lost power and was drifting. Someone on board thought it was a smart idea to drop the port anchor which only steered the ship at the pillion. Had they not dropped the anchor they would have been able to steer.

As we can clearly see from the video, MV Dali lost power at 01:24:32 EST. Watch all the lights go out. The engine probably stopped and she lost steering control. According to its GPS track MV Dali was sailing perfectly up the exit channel at 8.5 knots up until that happened. After losing power MV Dali drifted out of her lane to the right and started to slow a bit - another solid indicator she lost power. The GPS track clearly shows all of this. Still, 116,000 tons drifting out of control at over 8 knots. Stopping distance is measured in miles. Power was regained (lights come back on) at 01:25:31 (no power for a full minute). The stack starts billowing thick black smoke at 01:25:43. I suspect they got the engine back on line and threw it into full reverse but none of this is going to help with steering control. Reversing causes the ship to shimmy, cavitation from the single prop and the loss of speed reduce rudder effectiveness - and these things don't exactly turn on a dime anyway. The GPS track shows the ship well out of its lane and slowing further. The ship drops the port anchor to try and slow down further but it’s too late. She hits the piling at 01:28:45 at about 1.5 knots. That might seem slow but 116,000 tons at 1.5 knots is a LOT of energy. At some point during all of this MV Dali radioed it was in trouble and the Governor reports they were able to stop traffic getting onto the bridge before the impact.

This happened on a 170 ft ship I was on. Engine stopped and lights went out. The engine had run out of fuel. Fuel comes from a day tank that gravity feeds the engines. Engineer had forgotten to fill the day tank. It took about half an hour to fix the problem. I expect something similar happened on the container ship.

Still, seeing this reminds me of a fella who showed me photos of the Skyway Bridge Disaster in Tampa, Florida in 1980. His brother was one of the survivors of that tragic day. At the time, the bridge was practically new but still collapsed under those circumstances after a tanker hit it. Still, my prayers go to Baltimore who are in the midst of this tragedy.

Praying for the families of those who lost their lives. This was Mass Casualty Event #1. It will not be the last before November. Be vigilant. God bless.

Pilot is losing his job. Insurer gonna pay big time.

It seems to me that this would never have escalated if the pier had been protected by a substantial island to deflect the ship's hull from contacting the pier. Do they never use tugs these days to assist the manoeuvring of large vessel through tight spots? Down to money as per usual, I suppose??

Nothing 'weird' about it! One of the bridge main piers was hit by 150,000 tons of ship

While you're at it, throw in a couple prayers for the Ravens for this upcoming season.

I don't and can't IMAGINE how with the types of Radar that displays and tell you and shows you right where they were in relation to the bridge. My friends with radar on their 28 ft ers can see everything. These ships also have automatic navigation as wee, boggles the mind. Humm accidentally on purpose?

How do they know for sure only 7 people?? Yet, it's unknown numbers of cars? Did they review camera footage or something to accurately count one thing but not another?

@an0nym0us1992 Ай бұрын

Because of the construction crew that was working at the time. But otherwise they don’t know how many cars hadn’t made it off the bridge after traffic was stopped

Видимо этот мост мешает кому то доставлять грузы в порт. И его проще было убрать таким образом.

What a huge vulnerability. Should of been able to see this and respond with tugs before it happened

I refuse to believe that this was an accident

@AFloridaSon Ай бұрын

So you have 100% faith in the skills of whoever was piloting that ship?

@bakedbean37 Ай бұрын

@@AFloridaSon If this wasn't an accident then it looks like someone sabotaged the ship's power system. You try piloting a ship with no power. Lot's of pointy and itchy fingers in these comments.

How entire bridge collapse...seems pillars are on vacation

@levi_mariota Ай бұрын

when a 200,000 ton ship hits a concrete support I think it’s gonna fall

@natehill8069 Ай бұрын

Its a cantilever design. The weight on one side of the pillar balances the weight on the other side of the pillar, which minimizes the number of pillars and makes a bigger opening for ships to go through. The downside is the pillars are more critical and if the weight on one side disappears, the other side falls down too. Like one person jumping off a teeter-totter.

@deannelson9565 Ай бұрын

Now add in the fact that bridges are built to support weight vertically they are not remotely as strong horizontally
