Imagine being in the vehicles that were stopped, before the bridge collapsed. Their first thought was probably annoyance, because getting stuck in traffic is annoying. But then two minutes later they see the whole bridge disappear, and they realize just how lucky they were.
-
May the victims RIP. Hard-working men, trying to support their families. 😢♥️🕯🙏
-
I am gobsmacked at the number of conspiracy theories that popped up within minutes of this tragedy. WTH is wrong with these people?
-
I'm from Baltimore and have used this bridge many times, this is so sad!😢🥰 My heart is with all of those involved!🙏🏾
-
Shouldn’t the ship company be solely responsible for fixing the bridge. Hope taxpayers are not in the hook for this.
-
There are so many people that have recently quit being an expert on Ukraine and have become an expert on civil engineering and bridges.
-
Much respects and condolences to those poor families
-
What a tragedy. Imagine situation without mayday call. RIP
-
For those of you who are wondering why the bridge collapsed so easily, no way would a bridge be able to withstand an impact from a ship that big!
-
Praying for Baltimore.
-
It’s hard to believe they didn’t have some type of buffer zone for accidents like this. With vessels as big as that container ship, you’d think they would put some type of breakers before the bridge columns that way if something like this were to happen, the ship would just run aground instead of crashing into the columns & destroying the bridge. An island of rocks/boulders around each column

In August of 2019, my family boarded a Royal Carribean ship at that port, only to be forced off the ship hours later, along with everyone else, due to unspecified engine issues. We were disappointed, obviously, but we all felt that the company had made the correct decision. I feel doubly certain now.

Indian crew on the ship worked very hard to stop it. But they lost power. They sent an SOS which saved many lives. Hero Indian crew and first responders.
-
Gotta wonder if this was intentional or not...🤔
-
Baltimore loses TWO arteries of transportation for foods and goods to its people. Its the last thing that city needed..
-
This is so awful that people lost their lives.
-
Almost sounds deliberate but let’s see what happens as more info is provided
-
Something no one is asking is why didn't this bridge have concrete protections designed to defect a ship or debris away at the base of the supports? With this being a major shipping port it seems that these precautions should have been in place.
-
Isn't anyone going to admit the Bridge Span 2 bases where not protected from any ship crashes at all?
-
That pause before saying “collision “ is interesting
