How did the cargo ship crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore?

CCTV shows the vessel losing power, start smoking and eventually hitting the Baltimore bridge.

Has anyone seen those few lucky cars and lorries passing through before the collapse? Bro, bet they ain’t crossing any bridge for a while 🤔

Why, especially with a bridge in the channel, are these ships not guided in and out by tugs? Seems such a simple precaution to take.

[antjem]

The black smoke indicates that the captain tried to stop the vessel, full throttle in reverse. That caused the ship’s aft to move to port, and its bow towards the pillars of the bridge. The attempt to stop, at full throttle was wrong. Instead, the captain should have gone forward, keeping pressure on the rudder, steering away from the pillars. Unfortunately, he made the wrong decision…….

On every vessel, there is an emergency generator fitted which supplies electrical power for all vessel's essential maneuvering machineries. This Emergency generator starts automaticaly 3 seconds after any power loss. Watching the video It seems that this generator never started!!!

After I see this I will always have my windows open when I’m driving over a bridge. Rain sleet snow, condolences for all the families that lost their loved ones.

Irony: Salvador DALI painting 🖼 Broken Bridge. The ship's name is DALI.

Sky News, This is fantastic! I subscribed because I love it!

The ship was going in the right direction n had more than space to go under the bridge n go where it supposed to go, but instead it take a turn into the bridge just seems like set up to me. Now we will have to build this damn bridge over. Rip to the ppl who died

I'm just here for the Conspiracy theories

[JoeyGray-kjus]

This is gotta be planned let me tell u why so with cargo ships soon as they come out of the harbor there is tug boats at the port making sure that the cargo gets out of the port safely on most ships they have backup sources of power just in case it goes out in this situation the operator could of radioed to a nearby tug boat to pull it out of the way so it doesn’t hit the bridge it didn’t do that and it could’ve turned on the back up power source I didn’t do that and if I’m not wrong they trend to do this in New York but the tug boats pulled the ship away so this is gotta be coordinated attack

[miguellavoie]

Looks like the captain dropped his anchor to hopefully avoid this but he was too close an it swung the boat into it.

[vincentpadovano]

Why did it make a sharp right directly into the pillar?....it could have just went straight.

[deniseg]

It's too weird that the ship lost power a couple of minutes before it happened. This was planned!!

[runedegard]

Video taken by drones in daylight shows that all four concrete pillars were snapped off at the base where they trancend into the solid river-bed concrete slab.

Pay close attention to the ship collision with bridge's pillars. At the moment of "impact" it seems like the four inclined pillars are all demolished at their base simultaneously.

Plumes of concrete dust can clearly be seen shooting away from each other. Not just on the side where the ship hits, but strangely also on the side facing away from the impact point.

For losing power that's a sharp turn

[patcline]

it meant to c-mon man 😂😂😂😂disrupt the supply chain and drive prices up

[bettermycompany]

Funny how it turned direction and headed directly toward bridge at last minute but power was out. Also flashes of light at breaking points where power lines wouldn't be. Smoke as if going full speed at last minute just like the puff of smoke when full throttle a diesel engine in a truck.

[julieemery]

This all seems rather suspicious. No supplies can be delivered including food. Didnt the same happen in the Panama canal last year where the cargo ship got stuck & it took weeks to move it. Theres a pattern here from witholding cargo to its designated countrys!! Is anyone seeing this!!

[suggesttwo]

Could have easily been prevented if the captain steered around instead of trying to stop. Based on the big swing at the rear.

[Zack-nhqz]

If he was clear of it before they lost power why not keep letting it drift forward, looks like he makes a sharp turn when power comes back the first time.
