Damn. That's some historical footage. Don't think that there is a lot of full rides across the Key Bridge like you took. Rest in peace to those missing. Great Video. 🇺🇸
Used this bridge to cross over to my Grammys houses when I was little when she lived in Baltimore. What a insane thing to wake up to seeing on the news that she’s gone.
at 1:40 am EST on 3/26/2024 this bridge has officially collapsed. a cargo ship struck a beam and the whole thing came tumbling down. i am praying for everyone who lost their lives during this tragedy. you’re a part of history now mike. rest in piece key bridge and the lives lost.❤
If there is a blessing its that this didn't happen during peak hour rush, were hundred if not thousands would have been on this bridge...may they be found alive & if they have passed may it have been so quick...such a sad day
I am from Baltimore, Maryland. I live in Glen Burnie, Maryland. I can't believe that the bridge would be destroyed in my lifetime. I am so sad this happened.
Thank you for sharing this video. Riding across it (in this video) is eerie now that the bridge has been destroyed by that ship. It is heartbreaking and may the people who lost their lives will rest in peace and may God comfort those families left behind.
I woke up around 5:00 After Midnight to go to my restroom when my Mother told me "The Key Bridge Collapsed". In my head, I went "No. That cannot happen. It is impossible. And is this serious?” And then I checked my device and I saw the heartbreaking reality that happened that morning. I felt like weeping not just because of the deaths of the men, but the Bridge defined the Skyline of Baltimore. As a patriotic Marylander it hit me. I rode with Family and Close Friends over the bridge and I loved the mighty truss bridge. I have no words. I am just extremely heartbroken. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the men who most likely perished. The mighty bridge giving way into the river below feels like losing a loved one at some moments.
I live well north of the city and for years commuted to work near BWI. There were three possible routes; Harbor Tunnel, Key Bridge, and Fort McHenry Tunnel. Each morning I would check traffic to determine the least congested route. Although longer, often it was the Key Bridge. Crazy to think it’s gone.
After the collision, i wanted to see a video of the bridge. Great video, its the things u never think of till something like this happens. So sad. Prayers for all involved.. awsome footage of the bridge !
Looking at the crash on the live stream made the bridge look like a toy Erector Set, but seeing it from this POV makes you wonder how just a barge hitting a support could cause all this to collapse.
Condolences to the families, friends and loved ones of those who perished on the collapse. May you all feel peace and find comfort and come to terms with such a terrible things. Sending my love and sympathy to you all 😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
I was just thinking about going over this bridge a day before the collapse.My niece and I went over this bridge last year to pick up her check from Amazon. You just never know when tragedy hits!
this is stupid im 12 years old and usually don’t get pressed by this but this is just bullshit first off, the boat is MANY tons. each truck you see comes from a cargo on a ship, so imagine that but over 40k times, thats over 200,000 tons. second of all the bridges infrastructure is VERY weak in the middle due to it not having support at all, which is why you go UP to go on a bridge and just dont go straight (applies to most suspension bridges) and the bridge was hit in the middle. why do we need to spend less money on war? if we did literal a nuclear ww3 would happen without americas war superpower so try again😘 third of all ITS A FUCKING SHIP WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FOR IT TO STOP THE BIG ASS HAULING BOAT? the bridge is gonna have to collapse either way because there is no way as there is a god that the bridge wouldn’t collapse, and all you can do is thank god that it wasn’t during Baltimore rush hour traffic and only 6 people died. ok?🎀 rip i-695 Baltimore Francis Scott Key Bridge over Marine Channel you will be remembered 🙏
It is such a good thing you made this video! No one will ever drive over this bridge again - at least not this version of it. It fell into the water yesterday.
The good news is that they managed to close the bridge to traffic in minutes so there were no motorists on it at the time of the collapse. The bad news is they weren’t able to get the six workers off of the bridge in time.
Has the steering mechanism broken down? Because it is not clear to me how he could hit the post, in a part where every captain must be especially careful?
@@MihaGapiha I'm far a expert in this, but I am questioning the theory of letting these behemoths travel unassisted under bridges and busy shipping lanes until they reach the sea. They just have local harbor pilots onboard to a certain point somewhere east of the bridge. It still had to go down the Chesapeake Bay and under another major structure, the twin spans of the US 50 Chesapeake Bay Bridge, that could have been in harms way had this happened later in the journey.
I remember crossing the Key Bridge back in 2011 when I was touring with a drum-n'-bugle corps the day before the 4th of July. All I remembered was that we were traveling from our first parade of the day on our way to Arbutus, and as we went on the Key Bridge, everyone on the bus was so quiet because they were awestruck by how beautiful the distant downtown skyline is.
You now have one incredible document of history.
this video is now the only way we'll ever be able to experience crossing this again
It'll be years before the bridge can ever be fully rebuilt again.
I usually took the Harbor tunnel when travelling from NJ to Frederick MD but decided to take this bridge one time and glad I did

I’m from New York and I can’t tell you how many times I passed over that bridge going to visit my folks in Glen Burnie. Holy cow. Devastating.
They said 6 passed away 😢

@@filler7359 Why do you say that?
Great vid I now see and feel the bridge
I’m here hours after a ship hit this bridge n took it down. Let’s pray for the lives lost in this horrible tragedy
It's bigger than I thought from the aerial images after the collapse
Ikr like so freaky
I agree. And higher. This was a good look at it.
no way those workers could survive, that's alot of metal falling down on them

I always looked forward to crossing this bridge. I'll miss these drives.
This and bay Bridge
Thanks for the video. It shows up close how massive the beams are, they look like matchsticks in the videos from afar
RIP Key Bridge from the Eastern Shore!

Finally someone bought this up. Everyone seems to be talking about the bridge itself and not the ppl who lost their lives. It's got to be terrifying.

Thanks for posting this, this local landmark will be missed!
Its much bigger looking from this perspective. This film is historic now.

What a catastrophe.
Wow This video is now golden Thanks
It was beautiful!!❤
nice bridge!
(R.I.P from Germany)
Damm that bridge be busy! It didn't look like much from the collapse video
After the crew of the ship sent out a mayday, police were able to stop traffic, plus the accident happened in the middle of the night.
Damn, I can't imagine how horrifying it must have been to have all that crashing on top of you in the middle of the night.
Can you imagine if that tragedy’s happen when the traffic hours? 😳
America needs to spend more on infrastructure and less on war.
Agreed.
I wish our government didn't have their priorities so absolutely fucked up. They're supposed to care about us, the taxpaying citizens.

Curtis Bay is near my job. Many folks relied on the bridge. Now the commute is 50 minutes longer.
I still can't believe the bridge is gone. RIP to those workers who were only doing their jobs. 😢
I never rode on that bridge, but I hope I will do one day.
too late, the bridge just collapsed today.
It's gone
missed your chance!
One day too late
too late. the bridge collapsed
I pray everyone is found safely 🙏
That’s a piece of history! I’m in Ohio Cincinnati has a lot of bridges that cross over the Ohio River! That bridge reminds Me of it
My condolences to all people lost , Baltimore always in my mind ..

Hey Mike where is the full route of this hwy
Im proud :)
Damn so sad 😞 may God be with them
RIP Scott key bridge
being on the bridge really shows how massive it was and just how hard it is going to be to remove it.
As of 3/26/24
The Francis Scott Key Bridge is no more. A cargo ship collided with one of the piers and the entire main span fell into the river
Farewell mighty structure.....😔
Such a Mammoth Metal Bridge on a Thin Column (Pillars).?
It’s only untill you see this you appreciate the sheer size of the bridge 🇺🇸🇬🇧
I'm getting the heebie-jeebies looking at this remembering I was on a coach bus going over the bridge and saw nothing but water.
Been a seaman been in baltimore in 80 s I remember national aquarium
when do we go to new state?
Stay tuned

Hey, Mike. We have some breaking news. The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore just collaped 3 days after its 47th anniversary of its opening.
March 23rd is my birthday
The traffic is going to be crazy on the nearby bridges until this one is replaced. Sad that it's gone.
May peace someday be upon the families and friends of those lost in this unimaginable tragedy.
Last time I drive in february 22nd this year , over that bridge.
