#bridge collapse
Text
The crew of a massive container ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday warned of power issues before the collision, which caused the bridge to collapse into the frigid Patapsco River, officials said.
Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said the warning from the ship’s crew likely saved lives.
“We’re thankful that between the mayday and the collapse, that we had officials who were able to begin to stop the flow of traffic so more cars were not on the bridge,” Moore said. He called those officials heroes.
Moore noted that the bridge was up to code at the time of the collapse. He said the collapse was a “shocking and heartbreaking” event for the people of Maryland who have used the bridge for 47 years.

An alternate angle on the Francis Scott Key Bridge shows what appears to be a large explosion, which you can see 👀 from the other angles I posted. Something reeks like a possible Black Swan Event?
Does it seem like a barge bumping into a pillar would cause the whole bridge to collapse? 🤔

The regulation would apply to more than 100 types of vehicles including tractor-trailers, ambulances, R.V.s, garbage trucks and moving vans.

The investment in 33 projects across 20 states will eliminate 14 million metric tons of CO2 emissions each year when finished.

Holy shit.
The whole bloody thing is in the water!
Got hit by a massive container ship.
Fucking hell.
I hope nobody was on the damn thing when it collapsed.
Look at it!
It’s GONE!
Fuck.
What’s that?
They already changed the wording on its Wikipedia page?
Jesus Christ wikipedia!
You fuckers really do work fast!
Oh my GOD!
I’m not trying to sensationalise this btw.
I just wasn’t expecting it.
I’m not anticipating such incidents like some ghastly disaster-worshipping ghoul with issues.
I just hope nobody was hurt or killed.
I also worry that the conspiracy nuts will try saying it was faked or some crap. Fuck that shit!

The Singapore ship that struck the Francis Scott Key bridge was experiencing power issues before impacting the bridge. I'm hearing reports the ship caught fire and sunk also, the crew is accounted for and safe. This story is still unfolding so who knows what is actually happening and if we're getting truthful updates. 🤔

Oh my God.
I am devastated by this morning’s bridge collapse in Baltimore.
We’ve been visiting the city, most often this first week of April, for 7 years now. It is one of my favorites…Maryland holds a special place in my heart. We take a harbor cruise each visit & we always turned around in front of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. These photos are from our last visit in April 2022, taken from Fort McHenry.
My heart is with you, Baltimore.
