Baltimore bridge collapse timeline: What happened before, during and after

Місяць тому

Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed early Tuesday after a large cargo ship struck one of its support columns. Authorities were searching for six people who had been working on the bridge, but it's now a recovery mission. Norah O'Donnell, "CBS Evening News" anchor and managing editor, and Kris Van Cleave, senior transportation correspondent, report.

I’m from Baltimore and travel the bridge on a regular basis. SHA just redid all the roads leading up to the bridge and removed all the old toll boothes. It’s been a few years now, but like new. The bridge itself seemed like it was in decent shape, showing its age a little, but I was never afraid to drive across it. I’m also a boater and have passed underneath the bridge many times. You can tell that it was always being maintained etc. To me, having a 100,000 ton (or whatever weight) container ship with all that cargo collide with the support, would make any bridge crumble. Tragic event, my heart goes out to all personally impacted this and have lost a loved one.

I live in Dundalk, and just drove over the Key Bridge on Friday. I used that bridge to commute to work for many years in the past. I even drove over debris from an accident that happened back about 10 years ago and got a flat tire on that bridge in my Cobalt SS late one night. I feel like a part of me was just torn away in an instance. My wife got all teary eyed after watching what happened and hearing about all the missing workers being from Dundalk. She traveled over that bridge for 15 years straight to work. I am in Myrtle Beach right now, and will be back home Saturday night. It will be surreal seeing no bridge there in person :(

@TA-wg9oi Місяць тому

I would raise questions as to local authorities risk evaluation of the bridge in this shipping channel. The port is 300 years old and increased size over the the years. In the early seventies when the bridge construction started, cargo ships were 45ft less tall and carried 7,000 containers less than today's ships. I believe a simple mandatory process would be have been for tug boats to escort these ships past the bridge. It is mandatory in ALL shipping ports that local 'pilots' are placed onto ship arrivals and departures which in this case did happen but to a ship with no power to manoeuvre....

Such a tragic event. Heart goes out to all the victims and the families. This is eerily similar to my home city Hobart where a cargo ship struck the bridge, sunk and vehicles drove off the severed section into the river. This was back in 1975, and it took 2.5 years to recover the bridge damages. As a result, the government mandated that traffic is halted each time a ship crosses beneath as a safety precaution. My prayers to Baltimore.

Why does the Port Authority of Baltimore allow a container vessel 300 meters long, almost 50 meters wide and loaded with 10,000 containers to sail along the port's exit channel without being supported by at least 2 or 3 tugboats until open sea to avoid emergency situations, and even more so with the obstacle of a bridge built in the 70s designed for navigation at that time when there were no ships with the large dimensions that exist today?

So tragic. I’m rubbish at physics and have no clue about engineering but I’m shocked that a bridge can collapse so quickly from one crash. I guess I always assumed there was some built in resilience. Lesson learned. Bear in mind I’m speaking from the UK where we just don’t have the giant rivers and bridges you have in the US. But we do have the bridge to Skye for instance….. Grateful that it didn’t happen when loads of cars were on the bridge and thoughts with the families of the missing workers. Thank goodness the crew managed to get out the mayday so that cars weren’t on the bridge at the time. That that system worked saved a lot of lives. I’m sure everyone involved is traumatised but I hope some comfort can be taken in the lives they saved. May those who lost their lives in this tragedy rest in peace.

It wasn’t going the wrong direction. It just pulled out from docking headed out to the ocean. Until the power outage it was in the middle of the channel (transport lane) and going at appropriate speeds. A ship that size doesn’t stop or even slow easy and even 7-8 knots is enough to do major damage.

@01howdoidothis Місяць тому

Security cameras all over including approaches to the bridge, direct contracts for people who were making repairs and this should have only taken minutes to find out by the authorities who are on the ball. clearly something is missing just in gathering basic information. everyone on the work crew should have been accounted for and every car that went up the bridge from both sides and knowing the time stamp the video should have been reviewed within an hour of the police and rescue workers arriving. the working time for someone in the water is less than 30 min. so after 2 hours it should have become a recovery and not a rescue. Again, this shows incompetency on the part of both authorities and rescue workers. This should be on a check list for all disasters. Government is the problem here. Am I wrong?

@Sitankou Місяць тому

You are and aren’t wrong. From a rescue perspective the actual people on the ground knew the outcome, just like the outcome was known about the submersible that imploded going down to the titanic. Given water temps alone the survival time is easily less than an hour at best, but there are is alot of shoreline and ingresses to check before it can be confirmed. That’s why the construction company presumed them dead before officials did. As far as traffic cams and knowing what vehicles were on the bridge, I don’t really know. My best assumption is quality, the fact that not all cams run constantly or the fact even if you can identify those cares you can’t exactly know who is inside of it. In general most disaster operations work very similar. The environment changes but the actual workings don’t. Most of the things you mentioned would have been checked on but they aren’t exactly going to share what all they did. Nor do they want to share results even when overwhelming evidence shows to the contrary. Basically you don’t confirm bad news until your can really confirm it.

@ladyras Місяць тому

wait. How did they not move the construction guys away from the bridge as they had received the mayday call??

@Sitankou Місяць тому

@@ladyras The reasons could be numerous. Were they on foot working? Ear protection which means no hearing? How far from their transport. How far from the exit? They had barely 2 minutes from mayday to collapse.

@RolandPihlakas Місяць тому

@@Sitankou Large bridges could have automatic collision course detectors, which shut down the traffic before the crash. They could also warn any workers on the bridge. At the very least it should be possible to detect collisions after the fact in order to automatically close the traffic in case no mayday calls are received.

@Sitankou Місяць тому

@@RolandPihlakas Could vs do? It’s not a draw bridge that I can see. I don’t know if it has hard barriers to stop traffic or not. To your point I don’t know if there are detectors on bridge pylons. LiDAR might have been installed on it, I don’t know the bridge specs.
