In the US, infrastructure that collapses isn’t built back anymore
When was it? Perhaps under FDR who knew if he didn’t fund infrastructure he’d be out of a job.
Did this not occur in China recently…? Blocking shipping… hmm🤔
Give it 6 months and sick Hollywood will turn it into a movie
How come Ru bridge got struck with massive bo-mb and only partially broken and repaired in less than a week, and us bridges got tickled by a ship and it crumpled like croutons
Bridge have rights to depend it self
holy cow !
deeply concerned about usa 🇺🇸 poor infrastructure project 😇
Karma for usa 😂
Was it made by Boeing
This is American Engineering at it’s Very Best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nexy Hollywood movie
Theyve already had A Bridge Too Far
Hopefully this will trigger the end of the Ukraine War. Joe will stop giving billions of dollars to Zelensky.
US —> We are super power
The world –> It’s past 😂
Why didn’t the bridge have navigation lights on it ?😢
Collapsed like a wooden bridge!
IF this was China it would be called “tofu dreg” but in US called “accident” .
😂😂😂😂 made in china
Stupidity is infinite
hahahahaha fake high tech on the planet, fake gone to the moon
real schizophrenia post
‘…….ok…….’
Unbelievable, how does such a huge ship approached this bridge?
bay is major transport hub for.. europe. ukraine and israel weapons on standby
Francis Scott Key eats corn 🌽 the long way.
Trying to cut off our transportation, control is the only goal. Everything seems scandalous now.
If the USA had more diversity, these sorts of things would not happen so much
I think that cargo ship was either Russian or Chinese origin. Which other country would destroy that beautifully built bridge? Olle our enemies are attacking us right here in Baltimore. LOL.
Oops!
Just sickening…..😢
that is for going against isreal punishment from yahweh
Lol😂. Delusional.. you wouldn’t even have a breath to say that without us.. are you guys just all that goofy?
I think that the US needs some serious work on infrastructure
DEI = Destroy Everything Instantly
Russia and Iran behind this incident
The Bridge is an America & the Ship is an Israel
Bridge has the right to defend itself.
If Bridge had ‘chosen ppl’s ‘ rights and armaments every little punt, canoe and bouy in Singapore harbour should be terrified.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡
Ravens bridge is falling down.
Perhaps it was ISIS!
*I don’t see how infrastructure spending would’ve helped in this case* – the dumbest politician alive in 3 days
Sure looks like a “Demo” to me!🦧
Russia responsible right !
I hope people get out ok. RIP to those who don’t.
POOR ENGINEERING.THESE ARE THE THINGS THEY SHOULD SPEND THEIR BILLIONS ON..
I was 210miles away when that happened
Боже помоги пережить родственникам погибших такую трагедию. Мы Русские знаем что это такое. 🕯️
Pray for the worker’s family, Please Pray 😢💓😢🔥👑👣⭐🙏
Its a terrorist attack.
Life is so fleeting….one moment alive and driving with a goal in mind, the next moment crashing off a bridge qnd sinking down the water…so sad …may the souls of the departed RIP
My family and state is directly impacted by the bridge’s collapse and it is frustrating to hear people from around the world commenting without having direct knowledge of this tragedy. The ship’s crew contacted authorities to let them know they were having problems soon after they left the Port of Baltimore. They lost power, no propulsion, so no, they did not try to hit the bridge on purpose. In fact, thanks to their mayday calls and calls to authorities, many vehicles were prevented from crossing the bridge just before it collapsed. What is known at this time is that unfortunately there were approximately 8 road crew members working on filling potholes at the time of the collapse. Two were rescued and the search and rescue efforts continue for the remaining members. It is unknown if there were more people already on the bridge when it collapsed. This is an ongoing investigation even now at noon US East Coast time. BTW, the Key bridge was built in the 1970s and was still totally up to code, so there was no shoddy workmanship, etc. This tragedy is going to affect the Baltimore region for years as over 35k commuters cross the bridge daily. They will have to now reroute to tunnels and a limited number of bridges that already have two to three times that amount of commuters on a daily basis. And the Port of Baltimore is going to be closed for an unknown amount of time as debris must be completely removed from the Patapsco River, the channel will have to be inspected, and when the bridge rebuilding begins any ships will also have to maneuver that; so, this is having an incredible impact on my state and beyond, and on the thousands of people who live in the area and use that bridge daily. Your prayers are welcome but not your conspiracy and political theories. If you want up-to-date information please watch Baltimore’s local news channels and also listen to reports from those directly involved in this ongoing tragedy and investigation. Thank you.
Thank you for this comment!! I’m local as well and I hate those ignorant rubbernecking comments.
Terrorism
Marvel’s or Dcs heroes should have save the people or stop the bridge from collapsing. I wonder where were they🤔
😂😂😂😂😂
Alhamdulillah!
This vessel is managed by ship management company named synergy. These management companies are well known to cut every corner out from maintanence of vessels to crew salary in order to maximize profit tossing of safety of vessel. The poor crew onboard are forced to run the vessel in unsafe manner and less experienced and fear of loosing job the crew agrees These management companies should be penalized heavily so as to teach other similar companies a lesson and reduce such incidents.
If the USA was not constantly sending USA taxpayer dollars to Israel that money could have gone to INFRASTRUCTURE .. ! Many bridges are in dire need of repair, and many other things such as railroad lines… water lines etc
Made in USA lol
Mossad collapsed the Bridge to teach Biden a lesson
BILLION tonne mass hits spaghetti sized bridge and breaks it in two.. no matter where THAT ship hit THAT that bridge,, it was all coming down..
there fixed it for you..
doc johnny
engineer phd
Leave the world behind
Rip
Oohh… now USA will need to sell more arms to reconstruct the bridge…. Which country will they chose now to lit fire…!!! To sell their arms…!!!???
funny
“MOTHMAN 🦟 PROPHECIES”
Is this a terrorist attack by India to cause economic damage . Caused to look like an accident
Prove it
Gee whiz. This is terrible.
LOL
cargo ship had lost power twice before hitting the bridge, by the time they fully recovered power from both they had hit the structure of the bridge. so many precautions on both the cargo ship and the bridge that clearly wasn’t taken care of. truly awful.
Never going on a bridge again.
Let’s blame a country in middle east for this
The money for Biden’s infrastructure plan is spilled on the destructionof infrastructure and human lives in the Middle East.
Now, slightly turn your attention away from the migrants 🤷♂️
So loses control right near the bridge.. 🤔
Can’t park there mate
I’m shocked that the israeli mouth pieces haven’t blamed it on hamas
lmaoo
*NO ACCIDENT! Critical infrastructure to be targeted across the USA.* The DEW fires are coming soon, by midsummer, you know like in California for the past 6 years, and Lahaina Maui last year. Hurricane season is their favorite. They’re not too sure about sabotaging nuclear power plants yet, they have to control the jet stream; i.e., the wind/ air currents determines how much radiation is deposited in environments.
American government keeps funding other countries but yet its infrastructure is crumbling! Wake up people their will be more of this if America isn’t first!
Whoever was responsible for certifying the safety. Of this bridge should be charged with negligence for not insisting that pylons be added to protect the flimsy supports
The deep State at work.
Ma ci stavano cariche esplosive sulle travi. Si vedono scoppiare
They have photos of Hamas taking over the ship moments before it taking out the bridge
Since UN pressure israiel lots weird accident happen around world
(Isisk atack . Eu farm law . Weird accident)
Its planed . Im sure, the target is brigde base , this swapping issue program ,
West government will blame khamas
foldable bridge
Are u sure it wasn’t hit by a Storm shadow missile or those who sabotaged the Nord stream pipelines did it
What a poor country USA no spend money in their own country all tax money waste money on weapons and war industry
Francis Scott Key destruction symbolizes the destruction of AMERICA. This was an intelligence ritual.
The ship did not lose power, if it did, it would be dead in the water. Something happened to the navigation system. It was either hacked or sabotaged.
Locust materials that uses….
Only China can help US to rebuild the bridge within 1 year, if rebuild by US, it needs 10 years time. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Price of not applying a Veto for Israel
What a Horrible report. Get your Act together.
American infrastructure☕
I blame on those 2 Pilots on board doing nothing not even call for tugs assistance to avoid further drifting of the vessel…
Did they run out of time to warn the workers who died or did they just forget to warn them because they were Mexicans, Guatemalans etc? I really hope not.😮
This looks like a Godzilla 1998 ending scene 😂😂
Ukraine ship commanders. What are the odds
Needs to have stop rails to stop cars entering the bridge when emergency like this occurs
It is the fault of Putin 😂😂😂😂
It was planned, they were ordered to take the bridge down. If you zoom in you can see explosions going off…. the media is diverting our attetion.
For some reason that look fake
Why it look like bombs was going off at the same time the ship hit the bridge???
