I don’t even know what to say. How something like that could happen is beyond me. It just sucks for anyone who was on that bridge at the time. From the little I saw it does look like there were cars that were sent into the river.

No idea how the **** that’s possible. Some sort of major **** up by that ship.

Something out of a movie.

even early morning, in a metro area, there had to be a lot of people on that bridge

No bridge is designed to take that kind of impact.

Probably not at 1:30 a.m. Eastern.

Wonder how long it's going to **** the port of Baltimore. Could be an absolute disaster economically

At least a year if not more.

Power went out on the ship just moments before the collision...

Would kind of like to hear a nerdy breakdown of the physics involved here. It looks like such a slow-moving boat. Like, can't I just reach out my foot and give it a little love-tap to stop it? But obviously it's basically a floating island of weight. Really makes you think how many times per day a similar ship goes under a similar bridge and everybody on the bridge has their lives in the hands of an unknown crew they will never even know existed.

Wow, that sucks. I have been over that bridge at least a dozen times myself. It's bad enough it happened in the first place, but glad it didn't happen around 5:30PM.

Damn, the timing on those power losses was terrible.

Like some Final Destination shit

Newton’s first Law of Motion. They don’t exactly have brakes that they can slam on to stop on a dime.

You can follow the ships track on a maritime tracking tool and it was acting erratically.

Bottom line is there should have been a fleet of tugs pulling this ship and its moronic captain out of harms way.
