#NBCNews #BridgeCollapse #Maryland
FRANCIS SCOTT KEYS A MAJOR SLAVE OWNER WHO WROTE THE STAR SPANGLE BANNER…THEY NEED TO GIVE THAT BRIDGE A BETTER NAME.
how badly made is that bridge of it COMPLETELY COLLAPED from being bumped into by a ship…
it clearly isnt natural. no bridge falls down like that.
just like no sky scraper implodes from a bit of fire.
They are just so lucky it didn’t happen about 4 or 5 hours later in the morning rush 😱
Check the containers. Are there children being smuggled inside? Maybe someone purposefully ran it into the bridge to save kids.
Again with the movie leave the world behind!!! A ship losing control hmmmmm. That’s just crazy.
At least this didn’t happen during commute hours. It could have been much worse.
Truck hit the Skagit River Bridge a few years ago and only the end part fell in the river. Guess we were lucky. Had diverted traffic for about a year. That bridge is going to take years to rebuild. Have fun taking the long way home.
Doesn’t matter who was at the wheel if the ship lost power, does it? 🙄
Obviously it was Trump…working with the Russians….at least im waiting on that angle…lol
Biden’s 2.2 trillion dollar Build Back Better plan needs more money for Chinese windmills. 🇨🇳🤣🤣🤣
Or perhaps this was intentional, but, in the end, we will never know.
7 people MISSING? Sounds like the Lahaina🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 100💀? When we here know it was thousands…..900+ CHILDREN WERE KIDNAPPED TOO🖕
Yikes
The ship should have been boarded immediately to secure any information and personnel relating to the accident. To use an excuse the ship may not be safe to board is ridiculous, it is still floating isn’t it. What is being covered up or destroyed in the mean time.
Very Daliesque!
Imagine walking on the bringe and enjoying your day and this happens and u cant swin talk about having a bad day
That black smoke from the ship was not a fire.. that is exhaust from the engines running at full capacity! Steering or no steering, engines should not have been full tilt toward the bridge…
Just wait – The collapse will be blamed on racism, climate change, and Trump….
That collapsed bridge just is significant of our collapsed country! Will the reconstruction workers be DEI employees? Or illegals over citizens? Airplanes falling apart, railroads blowing up, and now a bridge collapses! War in Ukraine, war in Israel and in the Arab countries! And Joe licks ice cream cones! Can we survive 4 more years?
Made in the usa. lol
Anyone driving across that bridge how horrifying. Tragic way to lose your life.
They already said no cars was traveling at the time.
Just more f****** s*** the government builds that does not hold up to s***
My question is why was the cargo ship maneuvering so close to the bridge pillar??? 🤔🧐
Who is Francis Scott Key?
No veto, no bridge😮
Who writes this vapid tripe? It’s a cantilever truss bridge. They aren’t built to survive when hundreds of thousands of tons of ship run into them. And because it’s a cantilever truss bridge, the whole thing collapses if one support is removed. Good grief, I didn’t even graduate high school and I know this. “Why would the whole bridge come down”? Read a book, genius.
After 9/11 they looked into adding “bumpers” to protect the bridge, but they decided that it was “too expensive”. I’m betting replacing the bridge will be far beyond what those bumpers would have cost. Humans, always kicking the can down the road until a tragic event happens then comes the shocked Pikachu face.
This was an attack, plain and simple. The ship lost/regained power 3x’s before hitting the bridge, a remote cyberattack is highly probable.
Looks like there were only a couple of (construction?) vehicles with flashing orange lights on the bridge during the collapse. If its only 7 people missing that is a miracle.
Bad info. The water is 45 degrees . Its a recovery operation
Who’s to say their commputerized system may have been hacked into to purposely take down the bridge
Yeah… That drivers fired.
Thats like a lead weight hitting a toothpick bridge .
Chinese
Doesn’t look like the Chesapeake Bay Bridge piers have bumpers either. Roh Roh.
Is anyone surprised??
Well sheed.. 😢
Omfg I’m literally terrified of bridges this is my worst nightmare this fkd me up watching moments before cars,workers etc were on there then just fell unexpectedly 😢😮 prayers for everyone involved in this & there families this world is crazy 🙏❤️🙏🙏
How can a little bump from a ship cause the entire bridge to fall down? Seems suspicious to me.
A LITTLE BUMP?? Get real. A 900 foot boat slammed into the bridge at 8 knots.
you dont pilot a ship, you con it. – papa jim
This is horrific! Terrifying. These accidents are too severe to happen. A major bridge has been demolished, and SUPPOSEDLY it was an accident. We’re not worried about the ship! Homeland Security must determine that there was no bad intent!!!
Anywhere that I know where there’s bridges and channels they always have a tug boat escort.
I see a bunch of smoke coming from that pillar, prior to the ship hitting it. Then once the ship collided with the pillar more smoke comes from what appears to be the front of the ship, im calling BS on the ship doing it. Im calling it, a terrorist attack !
Thank God you aren’t a real detective. Just clearly defective
It’s a GENZ situation. Too many accidents planes RR etc. OR Sleep Joe has something to do with this. TRUMP 2024
That was a plan and a purpose
James Comer and Jim Jordan retaliating against Jamie Raskin.
Just shocking that this would happen what a tragedy. How did the whole bridge come down when one pylon was hit?
The news media is stupid. They are going to have everyone questioning it. I bet they’ll scream terrorist attack or blame Biden because Americans love making everything political. I’ve seen dumb people already talking about it. Anyways I hope somehow they find everyone. That’s all that matters right now.
Is this true because NBC lost their credibility hiring Ronna McDaniel?
Newscaster never played Jenga, nor graduated pre-school. The death of the IQ in `merica…
Is this true because NBC lost their credibility when they hired Ronna McDaniels?
And if the ship lost power. They would’ve anchored it and called in a mayday not crash into a bridge killing people. Don’t be a imbecile stop listening to the media and government like a sheep, of course they aren’t going to tell the public what really happened. Give it a few days and they’ll say something that they believe is good enough for the public to believe. And the driver of the ship easily could’ve called in and said hey, we’re heading for the bridge close it down but they just didn’t do anything huh 🤔,, so that leads me to believe this is what they wanted to happen. Who they is idk
What Im seeing is a guy that does not want to be a New York Giant.
He had a public (beef) with the NY Faithful over that burger flipping comment, and is a 2 year bust as a right tackle and refuses to move.
I think this guy doesnt like New York.
It happens to all major league NY teams, guys come to NY and get swallowed up by the City.
Example: Fred Dryer was a great DE at San Diego State back in 1968. Dryer grew up in So Cal and went to San Diego State. Dryer was drafted by the Giants in the first rd in 1969 , Dryer had two good seasons but absolutely hated NY. DRYER fought with the Coaches, Ownership, and fans, his play was above average then he revolted and the Giants traded him to the Rams after I think 3 years where he excelled for years as a Ram.
Some guys just cant handle the big City.
Ooh didn’t they just re-insure that reverently??!! Or it a cyber security breach??! Could it be an inside job??!! It wouldn’t be the first time.
This sounds a bit dodgy!
It looks like a row of domino’s collapsing…. crazyeee…..
Baltimore can’t catch a break 🙁
Buyy Shiba Inu coin
I bet the people that are lost were crushed when the upper steel structure crashed onto the deck as it fell into the water.
account of traffic,for bridge accountability
I can smell the insurance claim from Ohio.
I say it was conspiracy.
Mfkn joe obiden’s fault. 🖕 Msm

Okay. Government is what you have to put attention in built new bridges not walls. How old this was already.? How this happened? Unbelievable!!! Only in America.
Most of the time other countries require tug escort boats to get through those type of conditions, secondly the bridge should have had protective pylon barriers. COMMON SENSE IN HIGH VOLUME PORTS!😢
sounds like did on purpose, no mayday from the ship, weird. also who owns this ship called DALI? is anyone can see any vehicle on the bridge before collapse? not me.
I’ve been on
many ships you lose power you drop anchor to buy time to fix it
and no one stopped to verify the height of both before moving forward, that ship never shoulda been anywhere close to that bridge
*No one was piloting. There was a power failure on the ship*
This wasn’t the deep it was at port,new port master
That’s sad
I wonder why they did not call the tug boats from the port to support? it took quite a long time before hitting to the bridge!
how could they build a bridge without anything protecting the pylons? the only thing that would be surprising is that this did not happen earlier. this seems like a huge safety oversight
if you look carefully when the road was falling you could see at least 4 cars in the middle section. 😞
The Indian government will have to fork out quite a chunk of money to the families of those missing people since it was India’s citizens that caused this disaster.
Government has ignored infrastructure degradation and instead gorged the military budget beyond belief. Biden only put a bandaid on the problems.
Didn’t he write the star bangled banner , seems symbolic to me the way this country is going
Oops, one second of boom…then 100’s of millions of dollars shifting.
Were there cars on the bridge at the time?
How could the American government not know about incidents that would occur within its country like this bridge incident and the WTC tragedy? But they can know what incidents will occur in other countries. We cannot be fooled like children 👌
Beautiful bridge . Sad to hear this news.
Where are tugboats???
Why would you shut the bridge down but not bring the construction crew off it?
Anyone who wonders how an entire bridge of this type could be compromised by only one pylon being damaged, does not understand engineering whatsoever. Which is fine. But regardless of whether the rest of the bridge was ‘shipshape’ or not, this still would be the outcome.

It is clear steerage was lost when power went down. HE SHOULD NOT HAVE ENGAGED REVERSE!! The pilot induced prop walk to port at the stern and the bow veered to starboard. He should have let it glide through. Maybe engaging reverse a little then neutral to use the prop to steer.
I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don’t need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k,but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million
Investing in Crypto market is the best financial decision anyone can make because the crypto market is much more better than anything else currently
Please how do y’all even make so much from crypto trading?
I need a financial advisor who will help me with financial planning, investment decisions, and wealth management
Any recommendations on investments, assistance with portfolio building?
I will mention and recommend John Zevr..
I know it was a large ship that hit the pylon, but that bridge went down like matchsticks. Seems awful weak
Far left network
Why was this ship not being piloted out by tug boats in the first place ???
Is ISIS piloting cargo ships ? Could Putin be responsible ?
Looks like a case of hitting the right spot at the wrong time!
I heard there was 7 hazardous containers on that ship
So, cia set up the shooting in Russia, 2 says later a cyber attack causes a ship to hit the bridge… 🤔
This reporter has a lot of questions, but they’re mostly dumb questions. “How is it possible”? Irresistible force met an ultimately moveable object. Next question?
They need to check every one of them containers. Sometimes things happen for a reason.
Indians saved Americans,in seconds 👌👌👌👌
The day of the bridge collapse YouTube/Google launches an bridge building game ad blast campaign for China
You can’t block the ads away.
But hey, at least some get to collect the insurance, right? I bet they already have the blueprints for the new bridge…
