Francis Keys bridge hit by ship. Bridge collapses, mass casualty event.

[Jim H - VA USA]

Wrong.....That weak of sustained winds wouldn't cause the ship to turn directly into the bridge, which is what we saw. The ship was approaching the bridge sideways and after the lights flashed, turned directly into the support structure. Only way that could happen is if the pilot turned to the Starboard 5-10 degrees steering directly into it.. A 4 mph wind isn't going to cause that. 4 mph winds are nothing. It would take higher than 40 mph winds to even begin to cause that.

I spent 3 years on an aircraft carrier. I know how difficult it is to turn them.

Show your math.

Gusts were 10 mph.

That cargo ship turns into a big sailboat without propulsion and rudder...

Track of ship....

Wind direction is consistent with the trajectory. If the ship lost power shortly before coming to the bridge, it would indeed follow the above path...

Didn't I see this in season 2 of The Wire?

Let's call McNulty! Jimmy will find the truth!

10 mph still isn't much of a wind. Especially with a ship that weighs as much as that cargo ship. I figure it weighs 40,000 to 50,000 tons fully loaded. 10 mph winds isn't going to bother it much. It depends on the currents and the speed.

I spent 3 years going to sea on an aircraft carrier. The wind is almost always blowing. That's the primary cause of swells. The stronger the winds the bigger the swells. 10 mph will cause 4-6 ft swells at sea. I've been at sea in the path of hurricanes and had 30 ft swells pounding us.

Major bridge stuck by cargo ship and the bridge collapses……..video of the collapse…..

Maryland: Ship hits Francis Scott Key Bridge causing it to collapse

A ship has hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, causing it to collapse, authorities said.

this guy did it.

How the fuck do they know that already?

Because they already knew ahead of time that is was going to happen.

Looks like the ship was steered toward the piling, then detonated to sink

My My....how f**ked up we are, a ship hits a bridge................and it's political shit show.

Our country is over.

Not every day, but happens quite often.

A list of major US bridge collapses caused by ships and barges

A container ship struck a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to plunge into the river below. From 1960 to 2015, there were 35 major bridge collapses worldwide due to ship or barge …

35 accidents since 1960?

That's roughly one accident world-wide every other year.

Do carriers have bowling alleys or basketball gyms.

Fair winds and following seas!

They did appear to steer toward the support pylon....but I don't think there was an explosion.
It looks like the collision and the bridge falling on it caused whatever damage to the ship.

No....swimming pools.

 

[Markle]

I don’t think this bridge was particularly fragile

I mean, most bridges will collapse if a cargo ship collides into them.

Prior bridges struck and collapsed, such as the bridge over Tampa Bay, which was rebuilt with substantial barriers protecting the pylons from ships.

Smells like Thermite
An ”Inside Job”
The ship sank at freefall speeds

Very curious

Video.

Tragic incident.

The video is astonishing.

Anybody seen the Buttplug yet. We're not going to get through this without his expertise. He needs to leave those rented kids alone and get out there and fix this!

Anybody notice that this stolen regime is plagued with disasters - both domestic and international. If you didn't know better you'd almost think everything democrats touch turns to shit followed by death and chaos.

Let's see that fake hard hat and the designer work boots and GET OUT THERE BOY!

Catastrophic events such as this show why the Federal Transportation Dept is so important.
They were on the scene almost immediately

States and Cities can’t handle a major collapse like this

Is he a Shellback?

Got mine in 78' . I can't remember the exact location. Below Malaysia next to Singapore.
