Watching the live stream vid it sure looks like the support was intentionally rammed.

From what I’ve read. They apparently radio’d back to port about losing power and propulsion. Could be an innocent accident, could also be a fabricated attack on a major port. There’s a video out there that’s time lapse, showing the power go out and come back on twice before it strikes the bridge.

With a grain of salt it had a power failure.

All sorts of possibilities, random freak accident is at the bottom of the list...

Strange. Would’ve thought they would drop anchor if they lost power. Like the first thing you’re taught when you get a boat

Bad crash, sad about the guys working on the bridge that didn't get the warning in time.

with all the recent news stories coming out about Baltimore, it almost seems like the city is under attack.

So the MTA got the mayday call from the ship and closed it to traffic about a minute before impact. However that wasn’t enough time for the workers to evacuate sadly.

Baltimore is a Chithole. Some good parts but not a lot. They have great pit beef up that way lol.

You can see vehicles on that bridge as it falls into the water.

You can but it wasn’t typical traffic. They stopped that. The vehicles on the bridge were construction guys fixing pot holes.

Also, Luckily it’s wasn’t during the morning or evening rush. That would’ve been insane with the loss of life. From what I’ve heard locally, 6 or 7 people still aren’t accounted for. It’s been cold here, the river and bay are in the 40s. It’s no longer a rescue effort unfortunately, recovery at this point.

coincedence?

I hope not.

It may have been hacked. Their course changed directly into the support.
Gonna be a long investigation
