Vox is on a mission is to help everyone, regardless of income or status, understand our complicated world so that we can all help shape it. Part of that mission is keeping our work free.

Those last cars to drive past at 1:28 … I wonder how they feel knowing if they’d crossed a few seconds later they’d be in the water too…

[nathansmith]

I know it's a long shot. But I hope everyone is found. Just imagine if this happened at rush hour, with busses and everything else crossing.

The clarity on this video is amazing. Thank you. RIP to all lost.

[inkblots]

Engineer trying to restore power was probably sweating bullets.

I remember having anxiety attacks about this as a child whenever my dad would drive across a bridge. I’d pray it wouldn’t just drop. Jesus, I can’t imagine the shock and fear that crew felt before plummeting. I pray we get better news soon.

I live in baltimore and while i was sleeping i heard a crash

[itsbridget]

My close neighbor works as a cargo ship captain and was at the place of departure and saw the whole thing happen with all of the mayday calls and everything. The captain of that ship was also one of his very good friends.

When confirmed, perhaps add the time of the mayday added to this video. Horrible incident…

Thank you for all of the yellow circles! This helped me understand it much better.

[zetomaz]

My condolences to the family of the deceased people. Tragic.

[EvErLoyaLEagLE]

If the ship lost power, I hope the investigation gets to the cause of it soon

[charlessmith]

For clarities sake I'd love if this video had a fast forward symbol or a speed multiplier symbol so we can see when it goes back to normal speed (because the boat took 3 minutes from first power loss to hitting the pylon, and the bridge took mere seconds to collapse)

Holy Christ, those poor men of the road repair crews. 🥺

[AndorranStairway]

The silver lining is that the ship’s crew and bridge authorities acted fast. Had the pilots not signaled mayday quickly and the bridge authorities not acted immediately, the loss of life might’ve been much greater…

Its not just about fall injury, the trauma abd ptsd itself can leave you shaken for atleast years and may even temporarily cause mental problems

[Boomhauersdad]

Just glad this didn’t happen during rush hour.

[jortslesbian]

this specific bridge I would hold ly breath and my chest felt tight as we were driving over it as a kid, this was my entire nightmare espescially with how well you could see over the side

[AKAMoonfuture]

One of my fears is very slow traffic on a bridge or under a tunnel

[bennyjorgensen]

The ship was chartered by Mærsk (a danish company) and the news of this accident have traveled to denmark and we are sorry for what happened. Mostly to the dead and injured people, but also to all those whos everyday are changed from this event.

[TheSFMCreators]

Although this situation is a tragedy and lives were lost, but given the situation everyone involved handled this beautifully. The crew of the ship desperately trying to avoid collision, and when it became inevitable the swift response from all authorities to in a split second completely close the bridge for passing traffic, amazing
