I was lol 💯

The ship did a mayday call and law enforcement were able to hold traffic they saved lives

I kept saying "Go, go, go,.." but watching the Dept. of Transportation vehicles (the stationary ones with flashing lights) and their accompaniment of guys filling potholes, plunging into the water, well, that was heartbreaking!

A lot of people!!

​@@FarBear-by6rw Is that why there weren't any for a few seconds before

Why?

I agree. So sick of trying to find raw video and all I find is pointless news and talking over the video and crazy editing.

Looks like all the cats/trucks made it across before collapse.

Streamtime Live youtube channel is where this came from. You can see a live view 24/7 of this port there. I recommend checking out their other cams too including the Lock 19 cam. :)

Same here! Had to scroll passed dozens of videos before finding raw footage. I do not need the generic news anchor voice to describe what I'm about to watch with my own eyes.

Exactly. There are so many affected by this tragedy, both directly and indirectly. And they will carry it along for the rest of their lives. So sad! 😢

FSK bridge collapse = Sri Lankan barge accidentally knocking the FSK bridge down, accidentally drowning cheap workers from below the u.s. southern border.

We ought to remember these people with compassion and gratitude. Our entire infrastructure depends on the work of immigrants. It’s _always_ been this way in the US. The inevitable casualties of our greatest public works have always been borne by immigrants. But they keep coming here. They keep bearing our scorn and doing the work we refuse to do. And they keep elevating our country with their pioneering spirit and compassion, generosity, and ingenuity forged in fire. In spite of our hate. It’s simply miraculous. May the memories of the lost be blessed.

​@@irenafarmlol

No women?

That's Matrix works 🤗

Wow

What I don't understand is, that construction crew had to have seen that ship coming. Wondering why that didn't get in their trucks and book it off the bridge. That already had blocked off all other traffic. Such a tragedy.

@@judyrhoda4071 That’s what I’ve been wondering myself. The officers blocked the traffic from going over, nobody had any of the worker’s phone numbers to call them? Has anything new been reported that shows someone tried getting in touch with them? It is very sad and I send my condolences to their loved ones. 🙏

Why were the 8 men abandoned on that bridge? Clearly many other people got the message to GTFO in time.

Thankfully the bridge was closed in time. I'm sure theres massive amounts of video cams to confirm.

​@@athens31415 I'm sure it was unintentional. I'm not sure if a liason exists between the two entities. They might not have heard a warning from their vehicles. Walkie talkies might have been present. So many questions. Good ones too.

​@athens31415 I'm pretty sure they're state roads employees. Not sure if state roads was notified in time if at all.

Dang that’s insane

I can't understand why the waters remained calm after the bridge fell in?

She dropped her anchor in an attempt to slow down. If it was intentional, the captain wouldn't have called a mayday.

Was wondering about that myself, but yeah why do a Mayday call if it was intentional

Please don’t be a conspiracy theorist

here they come after 9\11 even here seeing conspiracy

Yeah I was watching them too hoping it wasn't but then they go down with the bridge

The criminal part is this ship was in port for 2 days and they were having electrical problems and decided to set sail early this morning anyway !

@@KayInMainethat hasn’t been reported !

@@keithmoore8888because it’s speculation. I’m not saying I don’t believe them, because that’s definitely something a cheapskate shipping company would do, but it’s just a UKposts comment. Take it with a grain of salt.

Sooo what exactly are we thinking made it turn the way it did??

That’s what I want to know. If you lost power how come the ship was straight until it turned right into the bridge. If you have no power then like any vehicle you can change its course. Here you can clearly see they were able to turn this ton of ton cargo ship to turn. You know how hard that is. Try turning your steering wheel without electricity. Or your power steering doesn’t work. You can’t change the direction of it. But here it looks like they could. But they could stop the cars. Count how long it took for all the cars to stop crossing over. I think someone dropped the ball. I’m not saying everybody could have been saved but, something doesn’t add up right at all!

You are not venting, just sharing a wonderful memory. That must've been so cool to see your Dad's lights from so far away. The bridge may be gone for now but it will rebuild, and your memories will stay as firm as ever.

It cool bro. I'm pretty sure it was a hard hit when you heard the news. I'm sure a lot of natives felt the same way.

Thank you sharing this memory. There's no need to feel sorry. Your post is a fitting and meaningful recollection and I was honored to read it.

@@thelotus8285 yes it did.

That reminds me of sighting my sailor spouse on the deck of "his" aircraft carrier right before it went under the Golden Gate Bridge, with my young son in his stroller and minding him and videotaping it parked on the pedestrian walkway on the Golden Gate Bridge. I had lots of luck that day holding the camera steady and of course laughing excitedly because I spotted him waving up at me standing in a small group of men. Even my toddler bobbed gleefully while munching a cheekful of blueberry bagel. It was early morning and we walked the short distance to the bridge from our quarters in the Presidio. Loved that location.

Yeah I watched this video prepared to be righteously enraged for the sake of the road crew but there was absolutely no possibility that they could have made it off. Even assuming they all were in vehicles, they got the message exactly when the bridge was closed, and they instantly drove at top speed - they still couldn’t have made it to safety. The bridge collapsed too quickly. It’s always astonishing and shocking to see how catastrophically suspension bridges fail.

No. I will not thank your imaginary sky daddy wizard for the police responding promptly.

​@irenafarm Not to sound like an a$$hole (like the guy talking about imaginary sky wizards) but I believe this is a truss bridge..basically 2 supports and if one goes the whole thing goes- again, focusing on the poor souls who perished of course, and not what kind of bridge it is! God bless!

No anchor?

@@tiffanylynn6839 they dropped anchor

That's very odd. Sounds like that ship was sabotaged. I wouldn't doubt it either. So many nuts we've let into this country since Biden stole the office.

This was also my question. Depending on the how deep this portion of the channel is, it could take 10 minutes for the anchor to take effect, up to 20 minutes in open sea. Still you would think that dropping the anchor would be the instinctive response. @@tiffanylynn6839

You should look up interviews with Frank Manley. Similar incident in 1975 when the SS Lake Illawarra hit the Tasman Bridge in Australia at night. A section collapsed, but it was so dark it wasn't obvious there was no road there. The car in front of Frank just disappeared from his view as it fell hundreds of feet into the water. Frank slammed on the brakes. There's a photo of his car the next day. The front of the car dangling over the edge.

@@gothgirl4evr881 ... and accept them when they do happen. My grandfather went to work one day and was killed at work. That was back in the day when companies operated under few if any regulations, LOL. We should appreciate when tragedies don't happen, though, and appreciate every good thing that comes along, taking credit for none of it. I don't believe everything just happens randomly, but I do think think there is an element of chance/fate. You mentioned the sinkhole in Florida freaking you out (and I don't blame you), but I think of the much bigger and more famous sinkhole there (well, not a real sinkhole, but the analagy holds) that occurred when that condominium skyscraper simply went down while so many were sleeping in their beds. And, of course, there was 9/11, when so many went to work and never came home. I think of the people who must have been so happy when they were hired to work in those towers - especially those working in that finest of fine restaurants at the top. The bottom line, I think, is that we shouldn't live in fear but we shouldn't just assume that nothing will ever go wrong, either. We do what we can to avoid tragedies and deal with them when they come along.

Seems the Bridge wasn’t designed to absorb horizontal impact from ships that large. Shock waves hitting the bridge joints seems to have cause most of the damage.

Byllshit

it's because it was a truss design bridge. one big solid mass of interconnected steel. when something fails, it brings the entire structure down with it. they're sturdy and cheap. they can take a lot of weight, but when they fail, oh boy do they fail. the best, (and more expensive) bridge designs are designed in ways that allow partial collapses while leaving the majority intact. unfortunately those big fancy bridges are rarely used outside of the "face" of a city, meaning ones anywhere else are just focused on the utility aspect. "if it gets the job done, it's good enough." until it isn't. yet another disaster of the rich ruling over every aspect of our lives for their own sake.

Get on your knees, bow your head thank God for what He has done for you and the breath you breathe, and surrender your life to Christ and receive eternal life. We have turned from God in this country and Satan is filling in the gap. We must turn back to God. I have personally seen the demonic realm and pieces of Hell. It is very real. When I did, I said if that is real, I need Jesus and the fear of God was put in me. Later the Lord has shown me more of Satan's works and the demonic realm and how thwy operate. I assure you it is no accident you weren't on that bridge. It is a long story, but it was discovered how the demonic plotted 18 car accidents against someone to be killed and they weren't because of the grace of God. God is jealous for your love, time, energy and affection. He is serious about the need to turn from sin that is the devil's way and trust the gift of Jesus Christ He gave us all. 1) We All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). 2) The wages of sin is [eternal] death (Romans 6:23). 3) The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 6:23b). 4) Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9). For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16. Lord, I admit I am a sinner. I need and want Your forgiveness. I accept Your death as the penalty for my sin, and recognize that Your mercy and grace is a gift You offer to me because of Your great love, not based on anything I have done.

The authorities successfully closed the bridge, so at this time, the only known injured and casualties are from the road crew.

_Who_ are you asking? Port Camera footage has been released too, but this video is the most popular because it has a wide view showing the whole bridge and the whole ship.

The ship dropped her anchor in an attempt to slow down. That had the unfortunate consequence of swinging her to starboard.

In The Netherlands we usually do protect structures against large vessels and usually to such a point that it won't prevent all damage in the worst case possible, but does prevent catastrophic failure. Mind you that such protection isn't just a hard stopper right before the object to be protected, but usually is a deflecting kind of protection: way before the object that should be protected from catastrophic failure, it already starts, meaning vessels can only cross under a bridge when adhering to specific paths (and if a vessel is low in the water due to its load, it can mean that vessels can only use the absolute center of a waterway underneath a bridge). Should a vessel lose control, it is basically guided into the set waterway, just like the guard rails on a motorway.

By definition, there can be no surviving casualties.

​@@robbase5235surviving casualty is an oxymoron

They meant injured survivors, I believe. There’s only two, I believe. One was severely injured, but the other walked away. Unless that person is gifted with an astounding degree of resilience, they will almost certainly struggle with PTSD for quite a while. I do have to say this here. I’ve seen some negative remarks about the fact that the crew was all immigrants. They’d necessarily all have legal status, as they worked for the state. However, legal status CAN include people who entered illegally as refugees. The vast majority of those people traveled on foot from Central America, through the one of the most brutal land routes in the Western Hemisphere. So, when I say that the survivors of the bridge accident might have PTSD, it’s also very probable that they actually have the mental resilience to shrug off such a tragedy. They’ve already experienced weeks and weeks of trauma and suffering, to get themselves and possibly their families, into the US. “Illegals” who came here via the land route from South America are some of the kindest, most chill, most delightful people I’ve ever known. Their resilience, generosity, and compassion was forged in the cruel mountain pass between South and Central America. We used to call this the “pioneer spirit” and celebrate it. It was a kind of forging and quenching that a lot of our ancestors experienced. Americans are “great” because of this periodic injection of forged people groups. We’re foolish to reject the refugees who represent the latest example of this unique strength of US culture. Refugees make us stronger. We should welcome and celebrate them. May the memories of the lost, be blessed.

Planned out to happen this way

Saw an interview with him, poor guy might have survivor's guilt. He seemed to think if he'd been a few minutes later getting to the bridge he would have been on it when it collapsed. He must be unaware that if he'd been a few minutes later, he wouldn't have gotten on the bridge at all cos the transit cops stopped the traffic when dispatch told them about the mayday call from the ship.

Prayers are about as useful as that bridge is now for vehicle traffic.

@@camspears6921 They would have their own communication, but the harbourmaster has to contact the cops, the cops would contact their other cops to relay about closing traffic, and then someone is scrambling for a number or radio frequency for the crew on the bridge. All that in the short time between the mayday call and impact. Unlike the crossing traffic, the construction crew were not moving, either working or having a lunch break.

The ship pilot radioed a May Day call 90 seconds before they hit the bridge & officials were able to stop @ least some of the traffic. They were not able to contact the road crew. Officers were prepared to jump into the water if necessary until the diving crew warned them they weren't likely to survive the dive from the bridge.

Nope, it wasn't moving forward fast enough to turn that much with the rudder. However, if you THINK about it... in a current, with the bridge pillar blocking part of the flow, the other part of the ship exposed to the current would be pushed sideways.... but you know... that's just logic...
