    Baltimore Key Bridge Collapse

    https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/1772514015790477667

    1.6 mile structure. Not sure how this is possible. Apparently there were at least 20 workers and 10 vehicles on the bridge at the time of collapse.

    Video appears to show double power failure at a very bad time ...

    Possibly, but these ships have double, even triple backup systems for this type of scenario. Look how far the ship was off course and for how long it would have had to been to hit the support column straight on. There would have likely been radio communications indicating some sort of epic power failure. It's just unreal. From my understanding, crossing under this type of bridge also requires someone actually spotting the crossing from the bridge.

    Has terrorism been ruled out? Would certainly be a novel way to do it....

    I assume if you’re going to hijack a ship, you’re going to do this at rush hour.

    It's some kind of crazy power failure scenario or complete incompetence, possibly a combination of both. The longer videos show lights shutting off twice a couple of minutes before it hits the column.

    It looks like it started veering after the power came back on the second time just before impact.

    A heavy fully loaded cargo ship cannot be intentionally steered at the last second, inertia is going to take it where it’s headed. Just ask the Titanic why it couldn’t avoid that iceberg…even though they saw it a quarter of a mile before impact.
