BALTIMORE (AP) — A major bridge in Baltimore snapped and collapsed after a container ship rammed into it early Tuesday, and several vehicles fell into the river below. Rescuers were searching for at least seven people in the water.

The vessel appears to have hit one of the supports of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing the roadway to break apart in several places and plunge into the water, according to a video posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. The ship caught fire, and thick, black smoke billowed out of it.

This was planned out. It doesn't make sense the way the bridge fell and went apart.

To me now im just thinkin to myself the captain of the ship lost control of his ship lost the power sp he steered his ship into the column of the bridge to stop it from going any farher thinkin it would stop the ship without thinkin the harm it caused peoples their lives... i would really chech out his story to find out if the shop really was unable to steer away from the brigde. I bet there is a question there. This is just me thinking all this to myself. Im just sayin...
