1 to 3 hours? That seems way longer than I would assume.

Some time last year I took a break from watching the First 48 murder mystery type shows before bed and watched Disasters At Sea which is like a 3 season documentary of shit going terribly wrong on big boats

Lot of these ships get sold and redesigned/repurposed with some sketchy ass engineering, but that usually just entails them sinking and not colliding with something

Will be interesting to see what comes out of this during the investigation. Just terrible timing, almost unbelievable

Very suspicious. Too much of a coincidence.

For those who know the area, how much will the loss of this bridge impact people locally? It's gonna take years to get it replaced, and I have to imagine it's gonna cause a giant cluster**** in the surrounding area.

:rolleyes:

Port cn reopen as soon as the old bridge is moved out of the channel. Any delay after that is bullshit

read a few minutes ago that about 35000 vehicles go over that bridge daily

Maryland governor already stating a preliminary investigation determined it was an accident

I'd imagine it should be known fairly quickly what happened due to personal interviews and data recorders unlike a sunken ship with no survivors

An entire sea voyage and it happens to lose power in that situation?

There is negligence somewhere, this shit just doesn't "happen".

Ship reported losing power just before crash

Well sure except the people that used that bridge to commute daily.

It says something about the state of discourse in our country that they felt the need to call out his political affiliation as if that's somehow relevant.

I didn't catch that.

Someone may have already stated this but they are starting to say the ship lost power and that's why they couldn't prevent it from hitting the bridge

I doubt the Captain was piloting the ship. Probably the Harbor Pilot. Sounds like the ship just lost power.
