Sad that this happened to hard-working workers contributing to America, instead of destroying it. So sad for their families.

💔 Those poor hard workers. Prayers to them and their families. Such a sad situation.

🙏🏽for families of loved ones and all truth to be revealed🙏🏽

Rest in peace. My heart goes out to their families for the loss of their loved ones.

I’m glad two families get a bit of closure, but I’m also sorry that they have to go through this.

Lets call this like it is. First, lets call it a ship crash, rather than bridge collapse. The bridge would have been fine if the ship did not hit it! So, lets hope the shipping company is held accountable for the lives lost in this ridiculous accident.

NOTHING will stop 100,000+ tons! Media needs to STFU about the structural soundness of the bridge!

I just don’t understand why the construction workers wasn’t notified.

How sad that there’s yet another disaster in our nation. 🙏🙏For better days and peace ❤

R.I.P too all ofthem that lost their life.

my condolences to the families and friends of the dead 💐

It is so hard to see something like this happen UKposts being born in Baltimore Maryland in 1965 but now live in Guntersville Alabama but this really breaks my heart to the families who lost their loved ones and because of this bridge going down it's heartbreaking or myself and everyone

Condolences for the people who perished 💐

Your coverage was one of the best I've seen. Well done. Thankyou.

Tragic...condolences to all families impacted. Rest in peace to all that were loss.

So sorry to the families of these workers 😢

this is heartbreaking 🥺

My condolences to the families and friends!!

A 116K ton vessel traveling at ~8kts does NOT stop on a dime. They lost power and steerage at the most inopportune time.

This is beyond heart breaking. 😢

Now you say they were good people, you see, not everyone is a bad immigrant , I don't see Mr Smith or Mr Brown working on the bridge instead people who came legal or illegal serving this country by fixing the roads and bridges, and the fact that this were people from the most hard working countrys Mexico, Guatemala, El salvador, Honduras.

This is why pilotage crew is necessary when approaching ports and specific parts of a country. If there were tug boats there they could have helped prevent the collision.

Has anyone noticed how happy the governor was when he spoke in the am

No protective collars around the supports for the bridge, nothing. Seems fairly clear to me

The "VESSEL DATA RECORDER" is similar in concept to the Flight Data Recorder and Cockpit Voice Recorder. However, its usage and data collection and storage is limited.

What about steering, this doesn't sound right.

Saddest day😢

Heard reports of cars under water what about the people in cars?

What a nightmare

My condolences to the families who lost their loved ones.

It was opened in 1977, It's build started in 1972.

🙏🙏

Its a miracle if you made it out alive on that falling bridge ,,so sad to hear that some people died and they didnt knew it its a sudden death 😢

How come the workers didnt get the May day calls?

Back when that bridge was built, we didnt need cargo ships. We still made stuff.

Didn’t two guys swim out from it in the beginning, one was fine , one was critical?

My thoughts and prayers to their family and friends 🙏🙏🙏🙏

We need change in this country everything is falling apart infront of our eyes

Make the shipping company help pay for the bridge and the family's that losts loved ones God bless ronrdzl

VERY SAD😢

7:08 Catholic Priest, "Jesus said call no one good, but these were good men" lol

That is a horrific way to go something need to be done about these bridge tragedies trailers falling off bridges it’s too much

My condolence goes to the family 🙏🙏😞🙏

The dolphins (bumbers) were way to far from the bridge.

The first action to be taken is , to remove the metal from the site, using some heavy equipment. Move the damaged ship away from the site, and open the waterway so that the port can be functional. All the investigations can be done once the ship is moved to one side.

do we know if the 6 people dead are the ones that parked their vehicles on the right side of the bridge? in the video we could see many vehicles park with their flashers on...

So sad

What highway did the bridge got hit

🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😢😢😢🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Look at that boat in comparison to the bridge! Why would they let a boat like that pass under an older bridge like that? This bridge should have been a bascule bridge or if anything ALL traffic should have been stopped and workers evacuated until the barge passed. They KNEW that this bridge could not withstand that impact! The families should sue but that will not bring them back.

They have to check the history of bowthruster load/use, or the the availability of AEs and power, or if the DO were property purified, or the sludge history records, or the maintenance made/arranged by the crew and technical department... Everything is Murphy's Law when it comes to maintenance...

Somebody needs to answer for the lack of a tugboat escort for a massively loaded ship being piloted in congested local busy waters with active structures

I say it’s pure negligence by port authority for not protecting the bridge with at least concrete blocks or visible wooden pillars with bright colored tops for warning to ships and boats.

Commuters should be thankful they weren’t on the bridge when it went down.

Even todays the most advance modern bridge that is recently build will not stop a almost a million tons cargo ship !

Safety pays.

i agree with lbelton. why werent there tugs. theres always tugs in portland harbor maine. why arent there tugs guiding these monsterous boats.

This whole fiasco could've been averted simply by using tugboats to guide ships around vital infrastructures.

2:00 TELL me that man does not cosplay as Tywin Lannister.

I keep seeing this clip of the cargo ship hitting the bridge and thinking that a ship that size must need to set its trajectory at least a mile out bc it’s not like someone is going to be able to steer it out of the way of an obstacle in a few minutes, it’s going to take some time. It just seems so odd that this would happen, especially if this is a routine run. Just a few hundred feet over and the ship would have cleared the bridge. Even if the ship lost power, it could still be on the correct trajectory with no acceleration. Now, our shipping economy has been disrupted. I’m not sold that this wasn’t in some way some kind of targeted attack disguised as an ‘accident’. Especially taking down the bridge that was named after the composer of the Star Spangled Banner 🇺🇸 Not adding up for me.

😞

The company just held a meeting to pat themselves on the back for their DEI.. if no one but investors were hurt this would be comical

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Jesus said call no one good but these were good men. What !

This just gets more and more and more strange

Investigate why the ship's crew did not try to warn the workers on the bridge? Did they sound any horns, fire any flares, or anything?

Bridge was built 47 years ago.Can understand easily about the Touch of Technology. If this disaster would not happened,nobody would blame about the bridge design or construction.🙄

if any governor or mayor remotely cared about baltimore every other baltimore/state job would stop thousands should be biulding back the bridge as soon as these people are found there's 3 arteries running thru and around baltimore imagine 2 / / thru a circle 0 95 and 895 are the // the 0 is 695 a loop around connecting all of it not to mention key bridge was our only way to carry hazmat fuels because they can't go into tunnels

Bad luck in baltiimore for construction workers

This is so so sad 🥺

Set up a temporary ferry across the bay. Send in about a hundred welders with cutting torches, several barges and 2 cranes with electro magnets, two more ashore and couple of tugs to shuttle the barges from the bridge to a close accessible shoreline. Hire a fleet of trucks to carry the scrap metal to a recycling center. Clear the channel first and re-open the harbor to shipping traffic. I would guess you could clear the channel in 2-3 weeks if you got this set up correctly and running around the clock. Yes, you would have to get some well trained Navy divers to do a lot of the underwater cutting, size the debris to fit on the barges. Each tug could tow 2-3 barges. When they reach shore, have the cranes load trucks as they arrive and when there aren’t any trucks, just start an unloading pile to the side. This all could be coordinated and within a few days, it would be running smoothly. Once the channel is clear, you could slow the process down a bit to save money, however I would keep things rolling so as to facilitate the recovery of the victims and get them to their families so they could get some closure. Very, very sad for the victims families unable to have their people back and be able to honor them. I deepest condolences to all those touched by this tragic accident.

Lost their steering after steering right into the pylon!

Wow, what a clean up those folks have on their hands! My condolences for those lost. Yet sending prayers of thanks and gratitude for that mayday call and the other last minutes effort's that apparently saved so many lives that could have Additionally been lost! 🙏🏻

😢

Let me guess: changes will be made to structural development. This will cost more to ensure proper reconstruction. That is good. However somewhere in that someone is hearing little cashdrawer sounds and this will suddenly cost more than that and then more near completion. The lives lost will be forgotten within a year or two but the expenditure will be astronomical for years further. This "accident" is much deeper than an immediate tragedy. It will become a cashgrab. We seldom honor the dead when profit is on the horizon.

Tell us again how this administration is going to rebuild this bridge while Ohio still has no help from the train derailment

The source of the ship's fuel may reveal some answers.

once again, they will close the barn door after the horse got out 🐎

Why weren't the road workers warned

Captain fell asleep at the wheel

TEARS = 2024 !! Tears are the raindrops of the soul And there's one for all who die. They are the silent words of grief As they fall free from the eye. The shortest verse in the Bible Is the one where Jesus wept So, if you hold back tears, shed them When your pain is too harsh to accept. Tears are lovelier than a smile When they come from those you love As they seek relief from sadness When you're summoned from above. Tears are a love-mates humble gift When it's time to say goodbye Though the eyes are wet and swollen With time and patience they dry. By Tom Zart!

God bless these men and their families. I will be praying for them. See the jobs immigrants do and some don’t want them in our country.❤

let us go 'back' than again forward!

Looked planned to me. Turn the lights on , steer it, shut them off, Oops, we have problems. Turn power on, turn a little bit, shut power off, Oops, we still have problems. This was no accident.

Like many asking the same questions... Any proof that they contacted the authority to warn them? Why was no towboat was in control?

falling short' or being pushed!

Passenger was found still clutching the inside door handle. Looks like he pulled on that handle til he drowned. Imagine the fear and panic of not being to get out, and the cab filling with water, and trying to hold his breath until he couldn't find the urge anymore and he inhaled nothing but water.

The employees are not getting paid during this time!!

Didn't joe get billions of dollars for fixing roads a few years ago

Spin emotion

2 bodies half eaten by Sharks.

I'd be terrified to even take the tunnel at this point, so glad I no longer have to use those roadways, Thankful my trucker son was home and not on the road, saw the details as soon as the story hit, something waa terribly wrong on approach even prior to the lights going out on that ship from the video I saw!!!

we need a tunnel not a bridge

The investigation cant wait. Its started as soon as the bridge crashed. This has happened be4 in other countries and could have be prevented. The bridge definitely was flawed with the 1 hit and everything crashed 😮. Similar happened in Australia i think . Nothing to do with size of boat but not having a couple of tug boats as a standard to direct the container ship as a backup but that costs more money. Saving money cost the lives and the massive cleanup bill. Sometimes you spend money to save lives

Suspicious to me

Were the Bridge workers illegal? Why wont MSM say? Do you think its a good Idea to have them work on US Critical Infrastructure. God Bless the families involved.

Thatz wild that bridge aint that long i promise they could sped off that thing in a car if you told them the bridge was bout to be hit

are the divers adequately diverse?

Pretty sure there more victims down there but they rather focus on re opening the port before finding more victims

For someone OCD. Im appalled at the color coding and stacking on that ship. But those companies getting free publicity
