You probably wouldn't survive the initial fall, even greater chances of being crushed by the bridge so I wouldn't worry about being trapped underwater lol

Got a touch of that the first time I tried water skiing. Didn't trust the vest. Less than a minute it was no longer an issue.

How frightening. A watery grave. Prayers for their precious families.

Unsung hero’s (mostly men) who keep our country running and go unnoticed and unappreciated doing a job where they can loose their life at anytime. May you rest in peace. Also for anyone else who lost their lives on this bridge. I wonder if a more modern bridge could be designed to keep the main supports more out of harms way.

rip💔

Where this is happened?

​@@Dil-TarashaaMaryland

Start making things in the USA again so we don't need these mammoth polluting monstrosities that don't even fit in channels and canals.

Yes especially the immigrant men these were immigrant men

can we know the names of these people? we just call them "construction workers fixing potholes" as of now

💯 Crazy!

I thought the same.

@manestage5403 HE posted on another video from 5am this morning. He said there was one other truck behind him & then he heard the noise as he got onto land. Like an earthquake .

I was thinking that about all those cars narrowly escaping death. It’s such a shame the workers weren’t given enough notice to escape.

I also watched that and wondered.

Praying 🙏

Only beginning to effect people! This is already a tragedy for families of the fallen but the effects of this horrific accident are going to be devastating to our country!

Did you know them?

Actually from what I heard the bridge was cleared and closed down before the boat hit it as the crew managed to warn people after it lost power.

Because they use a different dispatch...

I dont think they would had time to get off anyways 😢

They may have...however as typical they may not have understood English.

They probably took a few minutes to get into their trucks. The film looks like the construction trucks were moving when it hit, so just not quite enough time.

You act as if they had hours before to notify workers. Dah.

I was on a live feed from 3am till about 9am a young boy was in the chat, his dad was one of the workers missing he kept saying him and his mom haven't heard from him I was in tears

Там были не только водители но и рабочие на мосту? В дневное время машин больше. Следим из России 😢

​@@aprilMichelleXJRLOh my gosh that is heartbreaking!

@@Alexandr-Vasilyev 🇺🇦

One of my daughter's chums was on the ER staff. That's one of the toughies, waiting for the siren which never comes.

They were way out on the bridge, way out. By warning they mean the cops had about 2 minutes to close each end of the bridge...not nearly enough time to get the road crew off the bridge.

I'm sure no one forgot. Keep in mind that they had at MOST five minutes warning (and I don't think they had that long). The bridge was over a mile long, so going 60MPH, it would take a minute and a half to get all the way across if you don't stop or slow down for anything. Had they been able to contact the workers (and they may have...we don't know), they still wouldn't have had enough time to get out of there. Just the time it takes to jump in a vehicle (if you had one nearby), start it, and drive away would have been more time than they had, even in the best of circumstances.

@@sallygreenfield6991they had 90 seconds.

@@sallygreenfield6991 Cop cars have microphones. As a person who wanted to be a cop. I would've died trying to save the people already on the bridge. Let The other employees stop traffic.

Are you stupid. The workers had already fallen to water before cops arrived. People like you make me sick.

Read somewhere that the Frickin "government" is paying for it

Don’t worry, they will find something else for the taxpayers to pay for

​@@user-sf7dp1ob4t bott 🙄

Can see you have your focus in the right place🧐

If it happened at rush hour it would cause inconvenience sure but casualty wouldn't have been more if mayday was called and traffic gets halted. In fact construction repairs are always done in the middle of the night when it's quiet. So it seem more likely if this happened during the day there wouldn't be workers there probably nobody would have died.

Involved? Ppl who had no idea what was happening are gone they weren't involved with anything just innocent lives loss

@@Truthseeker7771000 I'm sorry my words were not perfect. I'm just not up to "thoughts and prayers " ,they're used so much I thought I'd try to convey a sentiment that I'm praying for lives lost and the first responders! And I am!

@@keyboardbunny I disagree. If you watch the video there was barely enough time to get the word out. There's a white truck that just makes it off before the impact. Apparently cars have been detected under water but the count is one or two. And possibly cars that have been there for awhile. Rush hour would have been much worse,nevertheless lives were loss and I pray for them all!

it was the local pilot who controlled that ship. He is not part of the ship's company crew.

@@omeeawakened2371 Okay, DipShit. Thanks for the Minority Report... 🙄

The shipping company should pay for it, after a bunch of lawsuits that could take who knows how long. But in the meantime, it will have to be state and federal money to pay for it because it needs to be rebuilt ASAP.

Well, I would imagine they will end up paying some of, if not all of the expenses. However, the investigation and court schedules could take months to years to complete. The bridge needs to be fixed now, not later. So the federal government needs to step in to get it started asap. Once the investigation is complete, any money the company owes can then be paid back to the federal government.

They’re continuing the search, it’s just not a rescue effort. It’s a recovery effort. I bet you don’t know why they say “allegedly “ either.

Because it is now a recovery effort... for the deceased.

In the river???

Exactly 💯

but then biden couldn't over charge by 80% and then pocket that. You think the left is gonna pass on the chance to rob the tax payers? ROFL

Well, no. I doubt any bridge in the world would withstand the incredible momentum a ship like that has.

1 trillion dollars please.

@@mwd331 Then build another crappy bridge that falls down again. How about putting buffers around the base of the bridge so a ship cannot hit the main towers, novel idea.

@tjking1909 again, it's not because of the bridges' "crappiness" that it collapsed. It stood just fine for 50 years. It's because a ship the size of a skyscraper crashed into it and because of the type of bridge it is, one support being taken away leads to it all collapsing. You are blaming the wrong thing.

Yeah good luck trying to stop 100k tons of steel moving at 20mph.

The bridge has been up since the 1970s. I suppose they had no reason to believe this could happen.

Tugs are for barges, and the port. Not the harbor...

The tugs had already done their part.

Cause the bridge was older than you. You want them to fix every bridge in America to stop every vessel? Call Pete he may help you.

There's no feasible protection for bridge pillar from a 100,000 ton moving vehicle.

That is the million dollar question isn’t it.

What difference does the pilot make? There was a system failure that temporarily loss of all controls. If a plane shuts off in mid air, who the hell cares if the pilot is local vs foreign

The pilot won't take any responsibility, because the pilot already reported 'loss of power', which means it is a mechanical failure caused this trouble, so the shipbuilder or maintainer's responsibility

Because it wasn’t

like you could have predicted the bridge was going to collapse the way it did.

Insurance.

Probably bc it's about 500 million dollars and I doubt a ship capital of a cargo ships has that much. Unless he doing illegal things

Fair point. It's already been acknowledged the craft was going too fast. Who knows what else they'll find that went wrong. I wouldn't mind seeing the Maryland Transportation Authority, which charged tolls on it, sue the shipping company and use some of those funds to rebuild, rather than making Uncle Sam foot the entire bill.

Can't afford it@@trailingaccomplice3449

Our pilots were at the helm.

This happen alone the way duh

No you should pay for everything. And you shouldn't comment on The UKposts, anymore. 🙄

Yes, and the ship should go to ship jail lol

yeah, im sure quality-control was not really viligant about alerting to this possibility once they got close to cities and bridges. i agree with you

Woodcliff... you're right. The ship should have been on the highway.

It's a river...not an ocean.

That is highly probably. I can’t believe how fast this happened Crumbled like a deck of cards. Less than 10 seconds!

They thought about it, but then went "nah, screw those guys" and decided not to say anything. *Obviously* because they didn't have time to do anything. 🙄 Stay in school.

There was, 3 years ago. Of which $10 billion was allocated to Bridge Investment Program. But you’re supposed to ignore that and say the ship was too heavy nothing coulda been done.

@@christerry1773 takes more than 3 yrs to fix everything. You guys have no idea how long things take

@@LeonStjames Can’t be done, costs too much money? Now look what’s happening. No choice but to rebuild and it cost six people’s lives. So please tell me wtf I don’t understand.

The crew was trying to regain control and issuing a warning, simultaneously... bad timing, indeed.

They will. Don't panic. The insurer's lawyers will be on it already

Because the person piloting the boat was a local person not part of their crew.

@@muraismybby4617 So make whatever company he works for pay for it...

may be cars from other accidents or everyone didn’t make it across before accident, or the crew had multiple vehicles?

It's possible that the construction road crews had vehicles & were in them trying to escape in the work trucks & construction vehicles they had. But unfortunately these journalists today are morons who don't provide any valid info. Good questions for a reporter to ask the Maryland Dept of Trans. is "how many work vehicles were assigned to the bridge?" "How long did it take bridge authorities to notify the workers from when they got the distress call?" Etc, etc. Nah we get some d bags & bubble headed broads more concerned with how good their hair looks for the camera. The only questions they asking is to the camera man "how's my face look in this lighting"-- TV reporter's make high 6 figs. Driving lambos & Ferraris to work. I know this because I did construction work at a major news station in a Phila & were working in the employee parking garage. All the casters were driving Porche GT's, Lambos & Ferraris. They all so fake too. I asked the one very popular news caster about his rare 40th anniversary edition lambo which is like 1 of 50 cars in the world & he didn't even look at me while saying "It's alot better than your POS" Then they go on camera & smile all chummy like they your friends. I know other people who worked at other stations & they say the same thing. All snobs. All incompetent. All round bad people who only care about collecting that paycheck. So wether it local or national or cable TV news. They all aholes driving rare exotic sport cars laughing all the way to the bank.

Right. 😂😂🫠

Because the workers had vehicles parked on the bridge while they were working. Those vehicles fell in when the bridge collapsed.

​@AirForceFamily their small brain won't understand 😂

someone didn't watch the video

@@Tornnaeto then answer the questions. None of my questions are answered in the video. Watch it again. I did.

@@andrewwhite9739 you just might be intellectually challenged if you couldn’t infer what happened in the video after watching it multiple times

There were construction vehicles on the bridge. They stopped normal traffic.

My guess is because the infrastructure bill’s Bridge Investment Program seriously failed.

Only 6 thumbs up?? That is fn ridiculous. Yes, the shipping company needs to pay for a new bridge. Not US, the tax payers.

If you spend a cent of federal money on a highway or bridge then it is illegal to collect tolls. That's a plus!

because it is critical infrastructure and needs to be rebuild soon. it would take ages in court to allocate the funds

Why didn't your public ally owned bridge have sufficient protection & anti-collision measures to prevent a bridge strike...???
