screw your full story......you all are lame for resorting to "click bait". THUMBS DOWN

FAKE NEWS! Not the actual captain!

CLICK BAIT.

Clickbait

Unless Tennille is there.

Crazy spin lol

He's really right about all he said...I was a tugboat man fr many years

The captain was not in charge here, the pilot from the port authority was.

Was wondering this. I forgot the captains name, but I was having a really hard time finding it yesterday. Could only find one of his names, but not his whole name. Wasn't sure if it was his first or last name. They said he was a Ukraine citizen.

No one could possibly think that the Captain or Pilot of this ship,was making a comment on crash.

​@@Bubba-wx7lptitle of video does imply that

@@Bubba-wx7lp ...And no one could possibly know how everybody else thinks.

As always. 90% of UKposts is clickbait.

It's not a lie and I don't think they did it intentionally.

Shalom 🔵

It is a "news" channel. 😂

They also had an anchor down trying to slow the ship down

@@Crazydad0304they also changed course like in a 180° in order to hit the bridge, the ship was already leaving the area and it went back to the bridge.

Only reason 90% of why people were here. THUMBS DOWN...and light up the pinned comment.

True, but still way better than political talking heads saying nothing while standing at a podium.

Captain from Ukraine.

LOL this is not clickbait, this is poor literacy from the public. No way the actual captain would speak publicly about the incident with anyone, let alone some random news outlet!

Caption say 'Captain' not The captain. Or can't you tell the difference?

Might be a dangerous game to play for that contractor. If it was suspicious he'll miraculously wind up dead.

Did anyone notice that all of the workers were not English speaking men? I bet the asphalt company did what Tyson’s did. Higher illegals at a cheaper wage. This is what we call modern day slavery.

New by any standards

Pretty old for a Hyundai.

lol, never happen.

Check out how far that is!

@@jimmers123Sadly yes, because this is the third 🤔 ship to take out a bridge.

Logistics of that would be impossible..

@@dennis2376 and how many years exactly?

anchor doesn't stop ship immediately

Subsea cables and other infrastructure . Though i do agree, drop anchors as last resort .

Do you seriously think the licensed pilot at the helm didn't drop anchor? Your nautical experience must be limited to renting a jet ski at a beach in Florida for 20 minutes one spring break.

They did drop the anchor, well before they hit the bridge.

The did drop the port anchor. It was dragging.

I was just reading that many ships don't want to pay for them anymore because of the cost has risen so high & it impacts their prices of their goods too.

Yup

The ship suffered catastrophic failures and it was built by none other than Hyundai. No surprises, korean cars are garbage and so are their ships!!!!!!

well captain John Konrad has USCG licensed Master of Unlimited Tonnage, Author of Fire on the Horizon: The Untold Story of the Gulf Oil Disaster. founder of gCaptain online magazine and web forum for ship captains is one of the largest such websites in the world. MSCPAC had a panel at Fleet Week 2023 "Speakers include experts in the field of maritime strategy and policy with experience in the maritime industry, studies, and sea control, including John Konrad, CEO of gCaptain; Capt. Joe Walsh, USN (Ret.), Collier Walsh Nakazawa LLP; Eugene Seroka, Port of Los Angeles; U.S. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Andrew M. Sugimoto, commander, USCG Eleventh District; Capt.

@@1BigBenyeah but HE WAS NOT THERE..!! may the story change a little bit if the people get to know that the real captain on board was an ukrainian and this happened just days after the congress stop some help for the ukrainian war.

He doesn't know what he's talking about anyway.

Yeah, it's clear this "captain" has never been in the Chesapeake Bay in his career.

For anyone reading this, crash astern means to reverse the propeller and therefore thrust in the reverse direction. It has nothing to do with starboard. It is an emergency stopping procedure. It is the only real brakes the ship has. In this case, if the ship was going off course, there was no steering it back on course (it's too big and slow) and it was moving too fast for bow thrusters to be effective in changing the ships course, thus the order to crash astern would make a ton of sense, slow the ship down and either use bow thrusters to change course or hopefully stop the ship before it hit the bridge.

toll is only one way. We don't even have "toolbooths" anymore, are you from the 20th century or something, you still using dial up internet?

How soon did they notify. On the live cam even when the ship went dark there were cars driving in both directions and even just a few seconds before impact.

Police chief said they were able to recieve the may day call in time to shut down the bridge for traffic Those on the bridge were actually state workers doing work on the bridge.

​​​@@pavelow235 Yes, I'm from the 20th century, and haven't been over that bridge since about 2005. Memory not clear, but thought there was booth there, at least westbound. Thanks for the update. I had looked it up on my 2009 truckers road atlas, and it was listed as a toll bridge there, but I couldn't recall a booth eastbound. My phone is android, and my first computer was in 2014, so never had dialup, your concern is touching, but I'm OK.

Almost 50 yrs old. Opened in 1977 and 5 yrs to bld.

Don't let looks deceive you. I rode over that bridge many times, it was sturdy. But you have a ship which weighs tons, hit a support beam, it's going to knock the bridge down...

Bridge was in good shape. So were the twin towers..

That would be because expensive infrastructure is designed to last.

@@DeborahtunesOver a hundred thousand tons.

I am a retired mariner served around 38 years in merchant navy. As this Captain says generators were failed just at the critical time. Emergency generators comes with in a minute but may not full ship 's electrical load. Even though there is a black out the main engine may be running till it is stopped. Also it may take a few minutes even the emergency stop switch activated. Many shipping companies, don't want to hire tugs for longer duration to save money. The port state control should insists that a pilot and tugs services to be used for longer duration depending on the port conditions.

it's all about the money

@@brucewilliams2106 Correct!, The tugs are paid by the time they spend at each ship. The ships save money by letting the tugs go ASAP. This will probably change now that it's too late.

I worked at the Port of LA for 15 yrs in port planning @@tomtransport

not even tugs could have stopped her if it were on purpose.

AIS data clearly shows over 8.5 knots before they threw it all astern full

You don't believe the easily available AIS tracking data? The ship was doing 8 knots in the channel. It had slowed to 7 knots when it hit the bridge.

If it was an attack it would've happened at rush hour.

China strikes again, clearly. ...Now there will be a toll booth scanning every driver's biometric ID, etc., etc. All because people can't live within their means and we needed China to buy our debt.

Not necessarily. The objective is to cripple commerce and plug up an important part of our infrastructure. Are there any shipments bound for Ukraine? Israel? Last year it was the l.a. freeway and before that the i95 corridor in philly. These all started after the Ukraine war. These are all important arteries.....just thinkin.....

Tell us about the short bus experience!

​@muraalia no need to happen in rush hour. They would rather this affect people living their lives, supply chain, food, cars, toilet rolls etc etc....the beginning of the fall of America

Since Maryland is so slow to rebuild anything, you might be looking at years...

Well. that bridge took 5 years to erect. Probably they will do a new design first. My silly guesstimate is 6 to 7 years.

@@hallmobility best case scenario is probably seven years

It's going to take 7-10 years to rebuild this bridge.

​@@hallmobilitythe full project took 5 years, which also included the 10+ miles out roadway in the project. If just replacing the parts that collapsed, they can have this replaced in 3-4 years.

I disagree, the FSK wasnt new but it was solid.

Living in a society already comfortable with being on HD CCTV 24/7, I find it distressing that nobody knows how many are missing. If this happened in the UK, they'd have a report on how many cars, how many passengers, what speed they were doing, whether they have a television licence or are on a terrorism watchlist, and face recognition data for the driver and front passenger at a minimum... o.o

They said on another report that there were vehicles in the water, including a cement truck. Not sure how accurate that was.

Other news story said 6 vehicles went into the water , one critical injury sent to hospital, one denied treatment and walked away.

​@@jmar8507the 6 missing people and the 2 who were pulled out were all construction workers working on the bridge. So makes sense that the vehicles were construction related as well

They were pretty sure they knew how many cars were on the bridge within 60 minutes of the collapse. The fire dept checked the security camera footage and announced there were 3 or 4 vehicles parked on the bridge that belonged to the construction crew. That's it. Police blocked both ends of the bridge 2 minutes before the ship hit. Nobody else was on the bridge.

Yes, there were multiple radio calls from the ship. Those calls allowed time for the bridge to be blocked by police at both ends to get traffic off but there was not time to get the construction crew off. They dropped anchor and put it in full reverse but couldn't stop in time. The ship had multiple power failures preventing them from controlling the ship.

Barriers are not going to stop a 161,000 ton ship doing 8 knots. That ship weighs twice as much as the entire bridge.

Ironically enough my understanding is that the ship radioed a Mayday and workers were in fact able to stop traffic on the bridge before the collision. The missing people appear to all be State Highway Department workers who were actually working on the bridge.

@@garrettswoodworx1873 Pothole repairman too.

@@kevinerbs2778 One and the same. Initially identified as MDOT workers, may have been private contract workers.

in jail... what nobody is telling you is that the captain is an Ukrainian and this happened just after the congress stopped some help for the Ukrainian war..coincidence? so they will not tell the captain is ukrainian because the democrats still need the ukrainian war as a Flag.

Where every captain should be, on his ship.

or the captain is Ukrainian just days after congress stopped some Ukrainian aid,. Coincidence? or just the typical cover up and population brainwashing by the media and the government.?

They have tug boats to get the ship in the channel and underway. Once the ship is in the channel, it can navigate on its own. That channel is 160 miles long. You want multiple tugboats riding with every ship the whole way to and from the ocean?

If the screw isn't turning, the steering is out. The rudder is dependent on the screw. Not sure why this is even a question.

That annoys me too. They don't show the whole collapse, either.

@@jmiller29 Because if you see the whole thing from the front view, the turn is sudden, abrupt, and seems to line up on the pillar... for whatever reason, it just doesn't look right.

The ship didn't hit the bridge because it was too high. The ship lost power and ran into and destroyed the pier holding the bridge up. It ought to be impossible for you not to know this, but here we are.

@@stargazer7644 that makes sense then .

Great question! Any decent leader, one would like to imagine, would devote themselves to a fast recovery effort in order to get ships through somehow. Whether that's going beneath a part of the standing bridge, ensuring or making it is safe, or quickly clearing away the debris in a specific area(s) to allow boat traffic to go in and out, it is critical to our entire nation's economy and health to ensure cargo ships access to the Baltimore area port.

No, ships can only transit the channel, and the bridge is laying across the channel.

Ohhh, I cannot image what you went through!!! It's a blessing that you recovered and you're able to speak about it now! ❤ God Bless You, dear heart!

crappy underengineered bridge is what caused the I-35W bridge collapse. They have nothing in common except they were both bridges...

@@janetphillips2875 Did you see on the news channels on it and see a MPLS cop carrying a injured woman to the paramedic and played on the guarny that's was me Lynn Deatherage and I somewhat healed up but my spine has four ninunion fractures in my lower back. Mild head 🗣️ injury 🤕🩸 and gashies and bruises big time. Bruised chest wall that's now healed. But my back hurts so much I have to be on one pain medicine 💊 and muscle relaxer for myself to live with the pain.

@@pavelow235 very true story boat light went out then to drive due to no light is very foolishness to do Capitan of the boat. My concerns is drivers in cars. Employee on the bridge.

UKposts employees and supervisors your employees are being a discriminate against me due to my physical and neurology conditions. And being a very nasty group of friends that hate so called white people. Don't employees spreading hate words and setting arson fires 🚒🔥🚒🔥🚒🔥 in USA except for your own disabliesm abliesm discriminate against all types of people who are disabled people and there skin tones.

And kills a cop who is 100% Greek and supporters family members are Greek are not 🚫 White 🤍🐻‍❄️ people.

And what do you do about the other bridges farther down the channel? How about maybe we just fix the cause of the once in 50 year freak event on this one boat?

I believe they mean the shock on engine after control was turned to full astern caused it to stall. Report is this full astern command was enacted again with same result.

The ship stopped when the bridge fell on it.

If you lose power nothing is operable.

That us just one live cam angle. Interesting to see other live cam of the ship leaving port to ascertain exact start of malfunction. All the crew survived, and probably the reason why the FBI ruled out terrorist early after several hours of interrogation.

The Ship Captain is a Ukrainian National named Sergei

@@jonp799 please tell me you're joking

a lot of boats leave those.

The ship suffered catastrophic failures and it was built by none other than Hyundai. No surprises, korean cars are garbage and so are their ships!!!!!!

No, not a lot.

@@GreenRiver72 I mean I lived near Galveston and we saw that often enough. Especially behind tankers or cargo ships.

No, I know. But I wouldnt expect a Cargo Ship (having to pass a once-over for MD regulations before picking up the pilot at Hampton Roads) to be dropping much. Guess we'll see what the investigation says. ...How are things down in TX nowadays?

6:27 a MayDay was radio'd which stopped more traffic from falling into the bay.

he has a USCG licensed Master of Unlimited Tonnage,

right? He sounds like he's just put together model ships in his basement his whole life lol

I don't know what that means. You are like a Biden Voter who thinks Biden drove trucks for a living because back in the day he could talk smoothly and coherently.

well captain John Konrad has a USCG licensed Master of Unlimited Tonnage

@@1BigBen we know. But his voice definitely doesn't match the pic

I don't get the ship was backing up. That ship was on a direct course just as the ship which came in prior as shown on the live cam which did not have a tugboat either. The Dali was preparing to leave the US shores.

It wouldn't make much difference if there were a dozen pilots if the ship lost power and steering.

@@thelastshallbefirst6531The ship was in full reverse trying to stop. It was still moving forward. Being in full reverse doesn't necessarilly mean you're actually backing up. That's how ships stop. They don't have brakes.

No, it means there were two harbor pilots advising the captain of the vessel.

Actually it almost cut off the entire bow. Review from all angles.

It's amazing human can look same thing see something different I assume just to disagree

I guess I see it now a little mybad

Not a dent? Half of the starboard bow is missing on that ship!

There is no bridge on the planet that will survive an at speed collision with a 162,000 ton cargo ship. The ship weighs twice what the entire bridge weighs.

@@stargazer7644 That is correct, so people put concrete deflectors to prevent ship from hitting pillars.

@@skvUSAYou think a bit of concrete is going to stop that ship? It cut through four 30 foot thick reinforced concrete piers holding up that bridge like they were nothing.

@@stargazer7644 You can check about bridge concrete dolphins and fenders. There is an ongoing discussion if such structures would prevent disaster. Most engineers think it would.... BTW Key Bridge has dolphins, they just badly located , so ship made around them. 500x100 ft concrete fender around piers would absolutely prevent collision, so it is all about cost/risk.

Because ships don't need tugs to navigate the channel.

The bridge was not in disrepair. Stop trying to make this about your political agenda. It isn't as though it collapsed due to rust. A 161,000 ton ship completely destroyed one of the two piers that held the bridge up.
