The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Bmore just got hit by a ship & collapsed

[BuddahMAC]

In the long version of the stream, you can see the boat loses power right as it's nearing the bridge, so they might not have had the ability to course correct and when the power comes back on they're heading straight at the bridge.

That's crazy. RIP to those that didn't make it.


I'm not sure what made me more nervous back in the day. That key bridge side of 695 as it seemed weird and narrow as it wasn't the full beltway lanes....or the bay bridge on 50 from the stature of it.

Somebody getting fired

Shiiiiiiiiit, the bridge fell on the damn ship so they might have a little more to worry about than a job. Some of that crew has to be dead.

My Bro just texted me about it when it happened.

I had to look on the CNN website and to see for myself.


I feel bad for whoever needs to use that bridge to get to and from work though.

A section of the first one can probably be taken out by a ship/barge since that looks like more of a viaduct than a modern bridge. But that thing is low lying and would likely survive a hit

The other two would have to suffer major damage to their cables since that’s what’s really holding it up. Even with damage to the base, the cables would still hold things up for a while.

That Key bridge was an old ass truss style structure and fell on itself and then fell in the water. Sucks if anyone was in a car when that happened.

Yeah you Can see the lights on the ship go out. Look like there might have been some smoke as well. Maybe a fire in the ship.

Maintenance team for that boat about to be audited and arrested immediately if that’s the case.

You can’t make mistakes with these vessels.

Some people have said the heavy smoke could also be from them maxing out the engines trying to steer away during & after the power loss. Just speculation.
