Maryland state governor Wes Moore has said that a cargo ship lost power before smashing into one of the columns supporting the landmark Francis Scott Key Bridge in the city of Baltimore, causing its collapse.
Several vehicles were crossing the bridge when the container ship collided with one of its supports. Six people are unaccounted for and a number of vehicles fell into the water.
Officials said the ship suffered a "power issue" and issued a Mayday distress call moments before the crash. Boats and helicopters are part of a huge search and rescue effort searching for the missing people. The authorities said they were part of a construction crew repairing potholes at the time the bridge collapsed.
.
Two people were pulled from the water, with one in a serious condition.
The Singapore-flagged container ship, Dali, struck a support column on the bridge after departing from the terminal at Port Breeze, bound for Sri Lanka.
A US federal government agency said the vessel "lost propulsion" as it was leaving the port. The crew then warned Maryland transport officials of a possible collision, according to an unclassified Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency report on the incident.

They did have tugboats, but it’s a deeply dredged and well mapped shipping channel. Tugs aren’t needed to avoid the bridge. The tugs take the ships to the center of the channel and pilots take the ships out of the entire Chesapeake Bay under their own power. Now if for instance a subsidiary of major shipping conglomerate like Maersk doesn’t maintain their ships because they choose profit over safety, things like this can happen.

This was talked about today on a retired merchant mariner's channel, What's Going on with shipping, it would require the people on the bridge to pretty much instantly divine that the ship horn was sending a message to them & then for them to deduce what the message was. Both points are most unlikely.

@pleasantville4529 Ай бұрын

Ships horns are only used as a way of warning other ships of their presence. Or, as an alert to crew members, or in the case of passenger ships, as a way of notifying passengers of any emergencies. There is no protocol for alerting bridge workers of the imminent danger.

The MV Dali is a large Panamax container ship with a total dead weight tonnage of almost 200,000 tons. Yes, that is correct, actually 196,000 tons. It is chartered by Maersk Shipping. It has one 56,000 hp diesel engine to drive the single shaft, but it does have several very large engines for electrical power. That everything would shut down at the same time, then come back online at the same time is inconceivable. These ships have multiple redundancy that rivals aircraft. BUT, 200k tons moving even a brisk walk of say, 3 1/2 mph would have kinetic energy most people cannot even understand: 213,947,229 ft/lbs to be exact. So, yeah, bringing down this bridge was nothing. The ship didn't carry through very far as it looks like the pilots had slammed the engine into full reverse but far, far too late to stop the ship.

Those pillars that the bridges sitting on should’ve been surrounded by cement to prevent the pillars from being touched by the ship. Just like when they put post around gas pumps and anything viral you’re going to hit the post and the damage before you get to the vital parts. That’s why they should do build huge cement blocks around these pillars so the ship runs into it. It won’t even touch the pillars.

Some history: about 212 years ago, the British Royal Navy bombarded Baltimore with their ships in a war with the USA. That Bombardment led Francis Scott Key to write the US national anthem and this bridge is named after him.

The bulge of that ship pretty much sums up India… You’ll know in a few years when you’re dismantling this ship wearing flip flops and a 99% probability a plaid shirt… That I put in the donation bin 7yrs ago which is +\- 3yrs after that shirt stop fitting me… 🤔 But yeah- that was pretty insane how the bridge just crumbled..

[<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="200">3:20</a>] When they had time to stop other traffic form mounting the bridge, one wonders why they were unable to alert the road crew by radio and/or mobile, to dismount the bridge.

@AlbertHess-xy7ky Ай бұрын

Someone somewhere heard the distress call, they contacted the bridge, those people turned on the bridge stop lights. Those people may not have been aware of the road crew. The person who turned on the bridge stop lights may not been aware of the road crew. This was an emergency, the full time frame is very low single digit minutes.

@charlessmyth Ай бұрын

@@AlbertHess-xy7ky As a matter of bureaucratic procedure, I thought that the road crew would have to have made arrangements to be on the bridge to fill potholes.

They did. Someone operated the the stop lights in a timely manner. The road were not not notified in a timely manner. No one knew that the ship was going to hit the bridge it was supposed to go under. @@charlessmyth

No one is criticising the inadequate bridge support protection??? A ship should not have been able to get anywhere near the bridge supports, powered or not. Look at the UK’s Forth road bridge construction. All three of them from Victorian to 21st century. The bridge supports have huge sacrificial concrete stantons around them to fend of wayward ships. 😮🇬🇧💙💙💙💙💙💙🙏💙🇬🇧

I am a little unsure about something. You say "moments later, the mayday was issued" but it is reported that people were saved when vehicles were prevented from going onto the bridge. I would suspect it was too close to get that call out to anyone before the impact. Were the prevented vehicles after impact or prior?

@user-lv7ph7hs7l 28 күн бұрын

Mayday was issued as power was lost 6 minutes prior to impact. Police evacuated the bridge. Maintenance workers were still on the bridge.

Accident or not, we need to rethink how major bridges are constructed. They need to have structural rings around main pillars where traffic goes that can withstand impact. They are of major economic importance and an easy target as they are today.

“Why did the ship go off-corse” and “why did the bridge come crashing down” have got to be the most stupid questions you could present. It was confirmed very early that the ship lost power and, you do realise how much a ship weighs right? Any bridge is a toothpick in comparison to a cargo ship.

@hollybenson5795 Ай бұрын

The bridge is not far at all from the port. The time it took for them to react was likely the same amount of time as any signs were there. I do think they could have informed of a possibility of failure sooner even if it wasn’t sure that it was imminent. There are several minutes of uncertainty between when power was lost and when collision happened.
