Crazy, and scary.

Those power failures are going to churn up the conspiracy theories.

Crazy. Saw the video feed, that's some cold water for those involved. I wonder if there was some sort of failure with the ship.

Looks to have lost power twice.

I just saw that video that showed the power go out twice. What a tragedy!

I saw the headline that it was the Francis Scott Key Bridge. There is one of those in Washington, DC and I immediately thought that was it and not the one in Baltimore. I have been over the one in DC dozens of times and probably been over the one in Baltimore too.

Anyone who has been to Singapore knows they are terrible drivers, so this tracks.

Just terrible. Amazing that 2 people survived and were rescued. Sadly, there are a few still missing.

Now that's definitely steering this ship in a different direction........

After watching the video, it looks intentional. The boat steered right into the piling

Holy cow, that's the first time I've seen the video. Even recognizing that a central support got wiped out by a massive ship, it's still startling to see how quickly the entire structure collapses. Man, those people on the bridge…

If it lost power depending on current it have drifted into the bridge. Read that the ship sent out a distress.

One person that was on the bridge has apparently been released from the hospital already. Amazing.

Also was told that there was smoke coming from the ship after power was first restored that could be interpreted as a fire or as exhaust from a panicked full reverse. That's just guessing though.

They lost power and gave a warning. Otherwise it could have been way worse had officials not begun to block access to the bridge.

My understanding is the current flows in and out of the river not laterally. Also the trajectory of the boat doesn't waver once it turned into the support.

Either way I don't think it was on purpose.

If the earth was actually round instead of flat, the boat would go around the support. Just more proof....

The current can go multiple directions laterally based on depth and the channels.

Boats that size don't turn on a dime, and I bet they were in full reverse once they knew they would hit.

With no power he did quite the job of centering it for a direct hit. Honestly not sure he could've hit it more square with power. Prayers to all those souls on the bridge.

I guess "Angelo" that died 15 years before Sleepy Joe hit his millionth mile on AmTrack was on the same train traversing the Key Bridge with Sleepy Joe...

All of you lefties and pretendependents that claim you hate President Trump because of his lies are 100x worse than anything he could be or be accused of.

You support this clown and then claim piety because you are anti-Trump...... He's much more of liar and conman than President Trump could ever be. I guess having 98% of the media covering for you, backing your lies and NEVER getting fact checked is MARXISM 101.

Purely a guess, but I think after the power restored, they tried to throw it into reverse and not leave the harbor. Once the power was gone again, they were SOL heading straight for the scene of the accident.

So this was the 2nd time this container ship has run into something.

Ship that hit Baltimore bridge also involved in 2016 Antwerp accident

The ship that caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore on Tuesday was also involved in an accident in the port of Antwerp, Belgium, in 2016.

The Antwerp port authorities said the container ship Dali hit a quay on July 11, 2016, as it tried to exit the North Sea container terminal.

Interesting take, could see this happening though. Hate it for all involved.

Could be. From that angle it's really hard to get perspective on where everything is in relation to the turn that happened to hit the bridge.

Yea, I don't know about that…. We need to pay close attention to this one. Intelligence people are saying this could be a cyber attack of the ships controls…. Done at night as most people will be asleep. This port is extremely important to the flow of many things. Taking out the bridge slows down transportation, of certain goods, north and south…

We will see…. I hope some of these opinions are way off.

The investigation will determine what happened based on the facts, but that said, how does this appear intentional? They lost power, orders were reported given to steer to port and drop anchor, and they issued a warning to authorities when it was apparent it was out of control.

You mean like the investigation that has already said it was an accident with hours of the collision?

Don't know if anyone recalls our naval ships going off course, circling their previous point......several years ago in the vicinity of the South China Sea. There was speculation at the time that the Chinese might have been behind it.
