Why were workers still on the bridge if vehicle traffic had been stopped for safety? They should have been immediately evacuated! God rest their souls and ease their families’ grief.

[@OregonDARRYL]

Yes, you could SEE for an entire minute what was about to happen. I'd have been gone with the rest. Staying was foolish.

Unfortunately we are being told that when they lost power, they lost steering. I don't think they would've had time to correct that veer, but if all big ships lose steering power when they lose power, a mandatory manual override should be implemented on ALL of them immediately.@@Stiffler206SiP

Really hard? Indeed. Think of the people on the Kirch Bridge when it's brought down. Until it happens to you it feels like it's happening to a tree. My heart goes out to all the families.

[@kimberlystikes5082]

This bridge was very poorly built. Bridges in Louisville are not as long as this one, and they have more support pillars, all concrete over steel than this bridge had. The oldest two have been hit multiple times by large barges and haven't fallen or lowered. The barge itself went down, one of them took two or three months to remove all the containers and pieces of the barge. The concrete around the steel has had to be repaired, but that's about all the damage that was done to the bridge. Guess I will stop complaining about the tolls since they didn't cut corners, making them vulnerable to hits like this. Which happens almost once a year. The shipping company AND the city need to face consequences. Shipping company because it was neglectful on the crews part and the city because of how poorly it was maintained. More support pillars should have been added many years ago. My heart goes out to the families who suffered a great loss.

[@johnnybelinda8539]

[@Cornbread-gi6kt]

To fall as easily and quickly as it did says that the bridge was unstable in the first place.🤔🤷🏼🙄

[@HeyThatsMe3]

I swear I wish civil engineering and architecture was mandatory in high school. No that’s not what it means. A ship hitting a support beam at speed there is absolutely nothing that could prevent it from collapsing the way it did. If anything the structured collapse is exactly how it was designed to in the event of demolition. Rewatch it and watch how it folds in sections perfectly. But the point is, ship is not meant to hit support beam. Support beam is not a ship bumper. Safety protocols are in place for reason. Bridge moves for reasons. Storms, natural disasters never took down this bridge. But it’s not built correctly cuz ship hit support beam? Kay. Just Kay.

You can clearly see there's no traffic on the bridge! I expect you also didn't notice the ship suddenly veer into the bridge support, at the last minute!

[@uthoughtu8]

Not an accident.

[@dubious6718]

Ship wasn't going toward the pillar until we see black smoke, meaning they turned the ship.

[@icebreaker19631]

The ship hits 1 support pillar and nearly the whole bridge goes down ! Are they designed that way it makes know sense to me. Was it something to do with design or was there something wrong with the way the bridge was built the materials used in making the bridge? It just doesn't seem like a bridge would be taken out by a ship hitting just one pillar

[@OregonDARRYL]

Bridges are fragile. Made with the least amount of material to be safe and cost effective. They are not designed to bear loads from the side or be bent or messes with in any way. There should have been rocks piled around to protect the supports from any ship. This was waiting to happen... and did.

[@kimberlystikes5082]

No, not all bridges are built this poorly. This bridge was very poorly built and not maintained properly.

[@OregonDARRYL]

@@kimberlystikes5082 There is no evidence that the bridge was constructed poorly or not maintained - AND even IF you're right... that doesn't matter. It was coming down. Not designed to be hit... There should have been ROCKS piled around the supports to prevent this. Not the bridges "fault"...

[@kimberlystikes5082]

@OregonDARRYL concert over steel, like the one it hit, would be better than pebbles. And there weren't enough support pillars. Louisville bridges have more support pillars than that one, and they are shorter bridges. I'm glad my city (Louisville) was more concerned about safety and stability when constructing our bridges, even the old ones. But they also know that a barge is going to run into at least one of the bridges (we have 4), about once a year.

[@joancooney7724]

Bridge is nearly 50 years old ,when it was built there wasn’t huge cargo ships. Look up the facts

[@AdrianGarcia-vp6qi]

Crazy, it fell quick

[@gloriamiller2473]

Hope some arrests have been made.

[@samidan91]

In my humble opinion, this boils down to greed.The ship had electrical issues and shouldn't have left dock and proceeded to the bridge... But do the greed and the boss is wanting to get the ship moving?They proceeded when they shouldn't have. I also feel they should be prioritizing.Getting those poor gentlemen that lost their lives on the bridge back to their families.

[@LeBigBirdo]

Pretty sure the issues occurred after it left dock and heavily impacted steering

[@user-es3qf1tm2s]

My question is why did the workers not evacuate people off the bridge. And they should’ve gotten off too. No matter what they were repairing.

Into reverse or putting on full power to turn into the bridge! Watch other videos, the ship can clearly be seen changing direction and aiming for the bridge support at the last minute

[@TrashyEditsWithArtem]

@@ankyspon1701 the ship lost power and started drifting into the brodge, as soon as the ship got power they put the engines in reverse to try to slow down the ship, they got recordings from the black box, and you can hear the captain communicating with the engine room guys and trying to figure out what happened

I cant see how in the world this happened unless they lost power yet they suppose to have an anchor ready to go, just in case.

[@kevinparker363]

Usually if there's black smoke..that means they are powering up the engine full max...like in a diesel truck..if you put the pedal to the floor..black smoke dumps out of the smoke stacks..

The black smoke was them regaining power for a moment and putting the boat into reverse, there was documents which support this with the boat regaining power and going from 8.4 knots to 7.5 knots but it was already to late

She said "and may not be reunited with their loved ones" ah you think?!!!! Lady it's over they're not down there trapped in an air pocket, I hate to sound harsh but I'm from Baltimore, and I mean really from here and when get pulled from the harbor, (and yes that's the Baltimore Harbor if some of you don't know the main body of the Patapsco River is the Baltimore Harbor they're one in the same in that region and are used interchangeably) They are usually covered with blue crabs pinched onto their bodies from being eaten in the sea! Yes crabs and other creatures are possibly eating on these bodies as you're ready this and a lot of people drown in the harbor, do your research not only that, there's raw sewage in that water, I'm talking turds and piss read up on it, read up on Back River waste treatment plant! That harbor is DOOKIE WATER the clams can't filter it fast enough! The Infrastructure is way outdated and the new shit is cheap and not meant to last nowhere near as long as the old shit, I'm a construction worker and I know this shit because new shit stay failing.
