What to know about Baltimore bridge collapse, ship crew's warning and more

The person who refused being treated... I hope he is really ok. Some people refuse to get treatment because they can't afford the bill.

I commend Maryland for their lightning-fast response in halting traffic and preventing a high number of casualties within just two minutes!

Thank God it was 1 am and very few vehicles were oncoming to cross the bridge. Had it been morning or evening rush hour we would be looking at hundreds of deaths! Really breaks heart for the poor 6 construction workers. ❤ We really need to appreciate our service and road maintainenence workers more, as they work midnights risking their lives so we would be safe on roads!

Bowie Marylander here. Most don't realize the collateral damage beyond the deceased. [May they Rest In Peace.] The bridge wreckage spans the entire width of the waterway. The entire harbor is on lockdown for the foreseeable future. Baltimore was the closest East Coast port to the Midwest and the biggest automobile export and import terminal in America. Meaning every thing coming and going to and from Europe, Africa and the Middle East through Baltimore on wheels is halted. Kaputt. Stuck. Expect price increases from shortages. But we will come back bigger and better.  BaltimoreTough MarylandStrong

I use this bridge at least three days every week. It was a beautifully bridge. Can't believe that this bridge is gone.

The amount of sadness over Baltimore … very sad indeed

The folks making a mockery out of this, bringing up politics, making jokes should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. I sincerely hope that them nor their families are ever impacted by trauma. Have some humanity….. that’s what’s wrong with this county and this world. Not everything is about politics…… Think and pray if you believe in a higher power for the victims, their families, and the first responders. That is what makes a good human. Not your useless opinions on politics, conspiracy theories, or witty “jokes”

The cargo ship barely has a dent, they should build the next bridge like the ship

Wow. Only 2 rescued. RIP lost souls 🙏

the bridge did not have pillar guards to protect it from collisions. workers should have been notified immediately when the ship sent out the SOS

Very proud of the response of the unified response team.

That bridge disintegrated in seconds..

Why is the federal government (our taxes) on the hook to pay for this? Shouldn’t the owner of the ship and their insurance pay for it?

That’s the second bridge that damn ship hit in the last decade!! Seriously wtf!

Very ironic that the bridge’s 47th anniversary was yesterday March 25, 2024. Prayers for the families of the construction workers that are presumed dead.

Terrifying! That cold water...it will take your breath away.

Very sad for your loss of lives, bridge, and economy. From Canada

That's crazy that one ship could take out that bridge with one hit. God bless all the victims.

Did people actually think it was "terrorists"?? I honestly heard about this at 11pm, and my first thought was, "Someone f'd up bad," not "who's responsible"...

These are exactly the kinds of disasters we've been warned of if we continuously keep choosing to ignore our country's infrastructure. Better buckle up, buttercup! 😱🙄💔
