    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.

    I was on this bridge a month ago, flew to NJ and drove back to Florida with a brother

    We drove this 695 route around Baltimore and over this bridge. Incredible to think at 1:30am whoever these people driving them cars were could never have imagined a massive ship was about to hit that bridge and kill them all, pretty crazy how this went. Driver of that tanker is in a world of trouble but probably will be blamed on an accident or miscalculation, crazy how this happened..

    Not to be that guy but this is the guy who most likely pulled it off even if he was not the mastermind.

    The crew communicated to the Maryland DOT shortly after departure that they "lost propulsion". This was long enough before the collision that the governor has claimed they were able to stop most traffic from entering the bridge. From watching every clip available, it appears the only maneuver the ship made was turning directly into the support column that caused the collapse.

    Biden holds a presser hours after the wreck, promises to visit the site soon and get repairs started ASAP

    his reaction is quite a contrast to the Ohio train crash a year or two ago
