Those of us outside that area need to understand the bridge also carries I-695, and neither I-95 nor I-895 are capable of carrying that much traffic (both use tunnels to go under the harbor and cannot carry hazardous materials).

Quite a bit of smoke coming from the engines of a ship that lost its power. Smaller cargo ships have at least 2 anchors while larger ships have more. Not one anchor is dropped in the water to attempt to stop the ship?

[@debradow7082]

Again my question centers around the load. Could the ship has been overloaded? Could the overload cause the engine to malfunction? And, if there the engine malfunction, was it inspected before sailing?

[@muratti72muc]

60% of his capacity the have. That was not the problem. Also the vessel has a valid classification from his home port in Singapore. One of the biggest and modern port of the world. In Sept.2023 the vessel has his last inspection by a foreign port state authority. All was ok. Such an extreme malfunction does not happen because of one error. This was a chain reaction of many small technical and most of the time also human errors. Without any electric power a vessel like this is a big 100.000 ton cork. The last rudder position, last throttle, wind and water flow decides where you go. Only your anchor can slow you down, but a 100.000 tons vessel very slowly. The outdated bridge with insufficient protection against collisions had no chance.

@@debradow7082I asked the same question… it looks overloaded. I can’t see where they could put another 40%… it looks like every possible spot on that ship has a container on it. I understand it may be weight of the container and I am guessing there are rules about putting the heaviest positioned in the bottom center of the load. Also, they’ve no line of sight for anything below the cockpit. I doubt they could see the key bridge’s support pillar. Shouldn’t boats loaded like this be tugged or at least escorted beyond critical infrastructure? Seems like an accident waiting to happen if they’re counting on complicated human procedures to overcome catastrophic risk.

dropping anchor is a last resort, as it may not actually stop the ship, they most likely attempted to turn which is why they veered right, but unfortunately lost ability to do that, these ships require about 8 knots in order to have the water flowing over the rudder to enable steering, i think the crew did well enough given their circumstance

[@brianbarbarich1401]

In my opinion as a Master Mariner and Marine Pilot this accident could have been avoided if Master of ship and Pilots onboard allowed ship to maintain the speed of about 8kt's instead of slowing vessel down when power was restored x2 onboard ship. Ship would of passed under bridge at 8kt's. There was only light wind early in the morning so windage would not have affected the ship to a large degree. The slowing down of the ship caused the bow(front) of ship to veer to starboard(right hand side) thus causing the ship to collide with bridge foundation support. There was not enough distance from ship when it lost power to the bridge to safely stop the ship before the bridge. Best option in this scenario forget about dropping anchor and trying to slow down using engine. Rather focus on trying to maintain ship in navigation channel when power was restored x2 and with the speed of about 8kt's it would quickly pass under bridge. Once passed under bridge then drop both anchors to slow down ship and use astern engine movements to reduce speed when power back on. The natural thing to do is to reduce speed as fast as possible to prevent or soften any collision or grounding which might happen however in this case it appeared to be the wrong decision.

Can the engine of a ship of this size all of a sudden get stopped? If so, what may be the plausible causes? Is not it's a very old ship with a poor track record of regular repair and maintenance ? Is not it the bunker fuel used was a very low-grade one? Does the cargo ship have stand by engine in case the main engine on cruise is shut in the middle of a turbulent ocean?

[@jobayliss8002]

@cptcurdlessdf1201 I am aware of this. I am asking why there wasn't an implemented plan of communication in the event of an emergency? It seems like a flawed system if no one could radio or call at times like this. It is just a question and my opinion.

[@Albert-Mag...]

Here in Vancouver BC Canada, On June 17, 1958, at around 3:40 p.m., two spans of the Second Narrows Bridge, then under construction, suddenly collapsed into Burrard Inlet. Nineteen workers fell into the inlet. Among the 19 dead were 14 ironworkers, three engineers, a painter, and a commercial diver who died a few days later when he drowned trying to recover a body. Twenty others were seriously injured. A Canadian icon, Stompin' Tom Connors paid a musical tribute to the fallen ironworkers with the song “The Bridge Came Tumbling Down” on his 1972 album My Stompin' Grounds. Hopefully, a musical group will step up and do the same for these brave young men who lost their lives. with respect from Canada.

CBS you're late. There was a live video of the crash and drop of the bridge so we got to see before, during, and after.

[@mxdridd]

why don’t we learn bru 💀 we had the 1980 sunshine skyway collapse and the safety measures in place since 1987 😭🙏🏻

[@arvinthota8223]

I am very sorry for you guys shout out to the ones that help😢

[@gcanyon3114]

There is no backup to critical controls when the power goes out? That's either a terrible design or they're covering for the shipping company.

[@tgagay]

This is why they have investigations

[@cptcurdlessdf1201]

short answer no, whenever the ship is in areas where it would need backup controls, its designed to have tug boats guiding it, if this boat lost power in the middle of the ocean they would have days atleast to fix the problem

[@SeeLasSee]

Some say a more sturdy bridge should be built. But there is time pressure so I suspect something similar with extra safety features.

[@lawrenceleverton7426]

3 years from now we will see. During that time Baltimore has serious issues. Grief will turn into anger.

[@cfusername]

Probably with the main pylons further apart and in shallow water, so ships get stuck before reaching the bridge structures itself. It's the only sensible way to protect the bridge.

[@joemain3235]

It must be so shocking still. My heart goes to all.

[@telebubba5527]

Just wondering: Was there no ships horn on that ship? And did it go off? That would have been pretty helpful to warn the people on the bridge that something was at hand. They are usually quite loud, especially in the night would it have alerted people.

[@buckeyefan3894]

Many construction workers are used to hearing extremely loud noises and sort of become indifferent to them. I just can’t imagine then foreseeing an accident that could take down their entire bridge like that

[@kiandrah8517]

Water temperature was the least of the hazards for those people.

[@williamdavidson1490]

Question: When the Captain of the ship lost propulsion, why didn't they drop a Anchor to stop the forward motion of the ship?

[@loredanadincu4300]

They did you genius

[@karolponikwicki81]

The Pilot is in control of the ship not the Captain during crossing channels

[@AFloridaSon]

In real life, anchors don't immediately stop a ship. That only happens in movies.

[@meyeame8956]

They did. ffs internet people are so dumb

[@Yourmom19996]

They need to investigate the bridge as well that went down pretty easy

[@SPOOKSTR]

Cops only had a 2 minute warning...

[@leoneldiaz3193]

They should alert the workers too !!

[@mil3276]

What about marine life, always sad when there is any amount of spill, but I know crazy barge spills happen way out in the middle of the ocean and no one knows about it.

[@teecarter4900]

the biggest tragedy...you can't trust a word, not one word.

[@user-ou5et3fo3z]

All modern ships including cargo have backup diesel generators. This cargo ship lost power twice coming in hot.

[@anthonywilson9268]

They don't have to pre-trip those ships. Looks pretty bad when right after you leave you break down.

[@markswain365]

Curious, who was filming and why were they there at that exact moment when this happened? Seems a bit odd ....

[@likhart]

@2:39 man was hired to set-up cameras for a maritime interest group

[@markswain365]

@@likhart huh.... real interesting and lucky

[@user-rg1sc3ok1o]

This is horrible god bless there familys and makes us wonder how safe bridges really are it flattened so fast instantly like plastic

[@jaredharris1970]

Why didn’t they drop anchor once it lost power could it have been done manually?

[@ambermalagoli3010]

Why did they stop traffic but not get those workers off as well?

[@RandomViewerOnline]

That's the real question here. The workers had 2 minutes to get out. Why didn't anyone notify them?

[@Killswitch1411]

well if there wasn't a direct line to get ahold of them than there be no way to tell them, dispatch even mentioned to get them off. But it was not enough time.@@RandomViewerOnline

[@stevenroshni1228]

They probably just didn't have time. You have to get strapped up to say fix a lightbulb. Even if they were just taking a break they'd have to get back to the van, know who was holding the keys. Or just run for their lives. They might have seen the ship coming and laughed off the possibility of a hit

[@RandomViewerOnline]

@@stevenroshni1228 No, you're right. I think I just said that because I'm sad about those poor workers who passed. I know that those officers and port workers probably tried really hard to make sure everyone was safe and this was the best they could do in such a short amount of time.

[@edgeofentropy3492]

2:16 Paid scapegoat: "There is no threat to the public from the hazardous materials on board." Someone intelligent: That's correct...because those are still on board of the ship. What about the ones that ARE NOT ON BOARD the ship??? Paid scapegoat: (dial up internet sounds)

[@jc2004x]

“People connect with it” He definitely got that right…
