Cargo ship hits Baltimore’s Key Bridge, collapsing it and sending vehicles into the water

A container ship rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to snap in a few places and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers were initially searching for at least seven people. Two people were pulled from the waters, one in serious condition, according to Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace. He said authorities “may be looking for upwards of seven people,” but he said that number could change. It was not clear if the two rescued were included in the seven.

I was at my cousins house and came back on Sunday, we were thinking of coming yesterday but we just left, good thing because we were going to go over that bridge

Oh my lord Jesus, my prayers for all involved, such a tragic situation, I can’t imagine, I have had nightmares of stuff like this happening, but I never thought it would happen

How does the captain of that vessel miss such a huge gap between supports like that?
A few hundred yards between supports and he hits one??
Was it bring your child to work day or something.
Here Jr....steer the ship??
Heart goes out to those injuered.

Prayers for the families of their loved ones who lost their lives in this tragedy! 😞😞😞😞😞😓

On March 27, mostly I hear talk about the 7 construction workers on the bridge, but little information on how many vehicles crashed into the water, trapping the drivers. Are there any families reporting someone missing who might have been crossing the bridge?

a ship operating under a chinese flag takes out a major bridge - sounds intentional

[dragon-tigerp.]

Why did the ship hit the bridge? Can someone please tell me... we're in Korea, so we don't have enough information

[ShaneHewlin]

Goes to show the majority of people don't have a fucking clue about Harbour Pilots. I genuinely thought this was common knowledge

[KingstonKelly-vmlh]

Omg so many bad things are happening in 2024😭

[skelly]

Do anyone knows if the captain of the ship had any socks on?

[coleturcotte]

with everything going on in the world right now, definatley putin... just a thought, not that it would cause any big problems but, would hurt the states costing them more money rerouting traffic, due to the convience that its a hazardous materials bridge and its now taken out? instead of dropping missles just take out the economy, works better

Sad 😞 . This is sickening. Everything going wrong under this wicked Government! “POLITICAL POWER GROWS OUT OF THE BARREL OF A GUN”! It’s coming!

This would never happened if Tump were president
