A portion? You mean the whole dam bridge?
I know right! That was a total bridge collapse. I didn't see just a section
Also the "a vehicle the size of a tractor trailer" so you mean a tractor trailer?
It’s the middle portion of the bridge, there is a lot of the bridge still standing.
The camera is zoomed in to better show the collapse, which is a huge portion, but not the whole bridge. There's quite a bit of length still standing on both sides out of frame.
@@Z32gone semi truck*
This is no longer a rescue mission, this is a recovery mission. Rip
Yeah, for anybody on the bridge that's almost a 200 ft drop.
Not to mention once in your car begins to sink in the waters, it’s over
A portion of the bridge collapsed? Looks like the whole thing to me.
Don’t think that angle shows the entire bridge
@@christianunger498it’s the entire bridge
@@TwinChaosOfficialit’s not. Find a better picture of the bridge and you will see that a significant portion of the bridge is still standing on either side of

@@TwinChaosOfficialNo it’s not. Stop being stupid.
Those people that just drove off of that bridge moments before . I would never get on another bridge again . My prayers go out
I saw the interview of the two young men that had just driven on there that's scary 😢a d heartbreaking to know that they just missed it
Oh, I've been looking for that. @Nunya-kb1zi
They were CGI cars. Zoom in and u see the same lit up truck

Yes. It’s all a hoax. Just for you. And you figured it out. Happy birthday.
This looks so terrifying 😧 I hate driving over bridges 😭😔 phobia prayers 🙏🏽🙏🏽🫂
Saaame. I drive over a mile high bridge everyday to and from work and the older I get the more I worry 😭
There's a bridge which turns into a tunnel and goes underwater in virginia....that one always makes me afraid when I take it
Same and I feel bad for those people on the bridge
@@SillyGoose2024there’s plenty of bridges like that
You should see the Bay Bridge that goes from Annapolis to Kent Island, (the beginning of Marylands "Eastern Shore".). It's triple the length of the Key Bridge and very high in the middle section. There's a service that drives people over the bridge in their car if they're too terrified. A lot of people are scared of that bridge. That's. A LOT of bridge to maintain and make sure it's all good to go!
Well at least this did not happen during the peak of morning rush hour.
@@kitamccoyit’s unfortunate what happened and I feel terrible for all affected along with there family’s but if this were to happen during a busier time it could have gone down as one of the worst events in the country in a while.
@@loserton9828 I understand that but when something happens an it already ppl affected what have should have could have doesn’t matter it didn’t but it still didn’t no matter how many it did just my opinion
@user-oi3we8ti9q All he is saying is it could have been worse. If it was during rush hour then the people that fell on would have less of a chance at being rescued. It's not rude to say he's thankful it wasn't worse.
It's only a matter of time... people are not focused.
@@WHATISF3AR I read very well an understood thanks
Getting this as a notification while biking over a bridge is terrifying
You click your notifications while riding? Seems a bit weird.
@@themonsterbaby I have a phone holder on my handlebar for google maps I got the notification from a news app.
@@themonsterbaby I think he just heard his phone buzz, and he had to stop the bike for a second just to check TH-cam. Texting/looking at your phone while biking can be just as bad as texting while driving
@@themonsterbaby you should try flying a helicopter while texting and playing GTA at the same time. It's intense.
You just had to make this tragic incident about yourself didn't you?
Omg, those poor workers
Look CLOSELY power went out on that ship after it hit the bridge! Something very fishy going on here
@@lyndavincent6659 Another conspiracy theorist. They just had trouble with enine conking out. Restarted it just before collision
@@danam0228 footage paints the whole picture, lights went out AFTER it hit the bridge
@@lyndavincent6659 of course they went out after, but the lights went out on ship when the engine conked out, then came on for a short bit when they got it started up again, but not soon enough, and BAM!
There are longer videos you know right? You can see the ships power turning on a off long before the bridge @lyndavincent6659
Ships in harbor are supposed to be under the control of local pilots who know the area. This is going to go from bad to worse. Condolences to the families of those on the bridge who may not have survived.
You can actually see Cargo Ship electricity fail. I've had people who work on these ships and harbors tell me it is lucky this hasn't happened before. Electrical failures happened but usually with plenty of room.
It was under control of a harbor pilot, power failed twice

A train derailment poisons a town in Ohio, planes with wheels and doors falling off, now a bridge taken out by a cargo ship. Our DOT is doing a fantastic job.
You're on the path to understanding. We have a serious competence gap going and a sagging infrastructure.
Hey I’m from that town in ohio(ep). We’re doing ok don’t believe the news :)
@@tomfigleyYup from the train derailment to the jan 6th innsurection coverage cant believe any of it
Our GOD is coming soon
Don't forget the mysterious fires in Hawaii and botched evacuation. Also, the incompetent withdrawal in Afghanistan in 2021. Just curious, what's this administration doing?
Never even thought of such a tragedy as the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore collapsing.
The first time ever hearing something so disheartening.
That came down like a house of cards
Very very scary to see. I hope and pray everyone is rescued and recovers
New fear unlocked
This is the problem with the information age. You see things all over the world that someone 500 years ago would have never witnessed. Perfect recipe for an anxiety-strung society.

You must not have watched the video yourself. THE ENTIRE BRIDGE IS GONE.
Its not
Not even close. This is just a small portion. Not even tbe majority of the bridge.
Watch the channel Whats going on with Shipping for more of the video of this accident. It shows the entire bridge collapsed. @@ivotenotocensorship5247
They’re zooming in. The bridge spans for 1.8 miles, although it’s a large portion, it’s not the entire bridge
The on-ramps to the bridge are definitely significant, genius.
“A portion” ?!? That was quite literally the entire bridge!
It quite literally was not but it still was a good bit of it
No it wasn’t. Just zoomed in. Look the bridge up on google maps. It’s a huge bridge.
Praying for the victims, their families, and loved ones and thankful for all the agencies working together on behalf of the situation.
Makes you wonder how weak everything we drive on is, and when was the last time they inspected everything
Well they probably aren't designed to be impact resistant from a giant cargo ship 🫣
Um a ship crashed into it 😭
If you look closer, the actual supports of the bridge are left standing. Not much you can do about the actual road homie. I don’t think you understand the shear amount of power those shipping vessels have.
Uh..that bridge wasn't weak by no means. And they take maintenance on that bridge very seriously as it's a bridge everyone uses. It's just that ship is massive and has a lot of weight to it compared to (in comparison) skinny bridge. The kinetic energy has nowhere else to go T.T. Plus, that bridge is partially if not mostly made of probably cement? Steel vs Cement, who's gonna win?
Its not weak at all. One of the columns was knocked down. Just imagine someone smashing into your leg while you are holding something heavy above your head. You going to fall.
Praying for everyone ❤
The longer version shows traffic crossing the bridge until about one minute before the collision. Then, crossing traffic ends, and the bridge falls. It is as though bridge controllers stopped traffic entering the bridge or drivers saw the approaching ship and held back.
Do you have that link? Wow!
I read a comment that the pilot called to stop traffic. That's why less traffic occurred before the impact. A commenter said that a relative working at Port Mccalister(sp) told him so.
They said they called mayday right before so they stopped what traffic they could at least
Someone heard a mayday and people stopped traffic
authorities had time enough to close the bridge....
Never mentioned is that this was 100% avoidable had the bridge authorities bothered to protect the two bridge supports. In 1980 a ship hit the Skyway Bridge in Florida and it too collapsed completely which is why this type of structure should not be built over shipping traffic. When the Florida bridge was rebuilt it used a new design but most important was the creation of sets of massive barriers to protect the vertical supports and were strong enough to resist and impact by any ship of any size.
The Maryland bridge authorities knew they were on borrowed time and did nothing to protect the bridge from damage from a ship hitting it in a part of the country where there is a very high level of shipping traffic under the bridge. Far cheaper to have added protective barriers than it now will be to replace the entire bridge and of course the economic impact of not having a bridge in this location of at least a year and the shutting down of the port of Baltimore.
One can only hope that bridge authorities in other areas are proactive for a change.
DING!
I’m no architect, but how did the completely other end collapse ?
Because the bridge is supported by the other spans. It's like jenga, pull one critical piece and it all comes down
@@jordanhicks5131 GotchA, thank you
Art Vandelay over here 😂
It may not look like it but that collision was IMMENSE. That ship sent shockwaves through that bridge
Every part of the bridge impacts every span. If one pier collapses the whole thing goes down.
Haven't had tears in awhile remember going across this growing up as a kid greatest thing ever. That's the main bridge to stay from going harbor tunnels.
I pray for everyone who was on the bridge when that happened, I hope everyone is found and ok❤️
I know😢 one of the workers that survived said that the other men who were on the bridge 😢😢😢 were taking their breaks in their cars when the bridge fell that's so damn heartbreaking 💔 and awful fr
Holy crap that is insane, didn’t expect this on this Tuesday morning
Does anyone know the whereabouts of Mothman?
Just thought the same thing, right before reading your comment.
@@AntonioTorres-yj1sn And it's not to mock this situation, but this reminded me of that bridge collapse as I'm sure it did others.
Yeah, I saw Mothman awhile back. I heard he was chilling at Pot's house.
Ship lost power sent out a mayday saved a lot of lives closing Bridge.
If they sent out an mayday and close the bridge then why all them workers out there on it. Shit don't add up
@@Krizlybeartruth
The ship had power until it hit. Look at the video. Ship has lights, ship hits bridge, ships lights go out.🤔
@@shakerman55 it went out twice. If you look at a longer video, it shows the ship going out twice. The 2nd time it went out was seconds before it turned back on and hit the bridge. There was no time to turn or anything.
@@Rodikaku65
The rudders could be turned while power was on. It would take about the amount of time to head the ship toward the bridge. It would be a delay.
Where is the rest of the video you showed this morning?
That looks intentional. He didn’t clip it, it looks like it was full speed ahead right into the pillar.
i’ve heard that something malfunctioned in the ship
@@GreatestGoofyDirtBiker I’m sure we will hear that.
@@amyfromflorida4518 maybe check other news reports? i will for more info than just friends and family
Full speed ahead at 0.05 mph
yep... intentional...............
I've crossed that Bridge two years ago wow a tragedy to those that was on it Prayers for them
My first thought was DROP THE ANCHOR. I can't wait to find out how this happened. 47 years and today the bridge gets hit by a cargo ship. The port of Baltimore employs a lot of people each year and those poor road workers on the bridge 😢
I thought the same before I realized the sheer weight of that ship ,looked it up and you'd need an anchor bigger than a two story house and it still takes them a very long time to stop in pristine circumstances, it usually takes tug boats too.
That guy is definitely not getting his Christmas bonus this year 😂
This is horrifying I always had a fear of this happening. I always get so anxious getting stuck in traffic on bridges and knowing I’ve drove on this multiple times, just terrifying seeing this happen.
I’ll pray for those poor construction workers
Our infrastructure is crap stop sending money everywhere and fix our country!
A fucking ship hit it, how does sending aide affect this?
Oh so you don't think the ship that weighs several millions pounds slamming into a primary support structure for that bridge had something to do with it?
@@RoivonPC no, it was definitely the money we send “everywhere”.
You’re the type of dude to blame Obama for you wetting the bed.
@@blondwithnoeObama caused 9/11 and Vietnam
How could it happen?
That’s NOT a portion maam
Are there cameras in the area? How did someone just happen to catch this at 1:30 in the morning?
It's a 24 hour Webcam feed
The middle of the bridge honesty was in need of another support beam.
I haven't heard anyone mention who the bridge was named for or the historical significance of it. It was built in 1972-1977 time frame in Baltimore harbor. Named after Francis Scott Key who was from Frederick, Maryland. He was present for a battle in the harbor during the War of 1812, Based on what he saw that night he wrote the Star Spangled Banner, our National Anthem. The highway crossing the bridge is Interstate 695 which would indicate the Federal Government may become involved in its replacement. Mike - USMC retired
Now you get the matrix codes
Why the edit? Parts od the bridge didnt fall like that why did you guys edit it to look like it happened quicker than it actually did?
Here comes the "this was no accident" crowd. Those genius terrorists hit the bridge at 1 in the morning when there would be minimal traffic. Seems legit.
And sent an SOS to try to stop traffic on the bridge. 🤷♀️
Right, as if this bridge has any major importance whatsoever.
Were there any cars on the bridge at the time?
Oh yes, there was, I asked before I watched the video
This was no accident
Here we go
Oh brother you guys make conspiracies about everything. If it was an intentional attack why wouldn’t they do it in the daytime when much more people would have been on the bridge. Sometimes tragic accidents happen and this is one of those times
@@mooeykazooey You make a good point (slow time), but I can tell you, these freaks running the world have been at this kind of stuff for a long time, and they are good at it, (especially including being psychological masters). Right now, we don't know. Not even who the captain is.
Oh you were there? You were on the boat and personally saw them say “this isn’t gonna be an accident!”
@@mooeykazooey wow you make a good point it is very concerning that they went and hit the pillar and not the rest of the bridge
Did the ship cause the collapse or did the bridge collapse on its own?
So there are more then 7 casualties
Who crashed into the bridge?
My state just spent over a year rebuilding a small 2-lane draw bridge, (still not finished).
This bridge may be gone for good.
not for good...but years for sure
This also gives me chills.
Totally suspicious is all I can say. 😢
Of everything!
What do you mean suspicious and please specify
@@FloatingLeaf1111
The cargo ship just so happened to hit a main structure instead of going through an empty spot.
😒Ri ii iiight!!
I have a collapsed bridge to sell you!
looks intentional.............
@@smoothtwhif you’ve read anything about the incident the boat lost power and they didn’t have control over it. Not everything is some conspiracy.
Watch the right side of the bridge, it shouldn't have fallen. Why did it?
A boat should not collapse a bridge unless it already had serious structural issues.
The USA infrastructure is getting old and weak
The bridge was in good condition. If you were from the area, you'd know that. MDOT kept it in tip top shape.
Was this intentional?? Who’s responsible for the innocent casualties?
See the explosions at the pieces?! If you slow it down, you can see it clear as day.
Pretty sure those are electrical shorts. Or sparks from the steel grinding against itself with enough friction and force to get it that hot
So apparently power was lost for a while and then power was regained at the last moment but it was too late because stopping a ship that big is nearly impossible even with many expierence. The ship had done a mayday call so the bridge was closed so not a lot of people were on the bridge.
Who was operating the ship? Could it have been a terrorist act? It happened with planes a while ago. It happens with automobiles.
Don't be stupid
According to CNN, it was local pilots who are used to navigating this harbor and there may have been a power malfunction that caused it to veer off course 2 minutes beforehand toward the pillar.
It happened with planes "a while ago". Almost 23 years is quite a while
Nobody cares about Baltimore enough to orchestrate a terror attack on a mostly empty bridge. Use your brain.
Some guy named Hazelwood.
I'm wondering where this video came from. Was a camera focused on the bridge beforehand? During the night?
Likely a traffic or security cam of some kind. Damn near everything is filmed these days
It's the same sort of camera system that local news use to show conditions or as a backdrop for the weather. We have a ton here in pdx pointing at the scenic bridges.
you're right. Everything is videoed now!@@lisacallan5462

How do you go right into the column? Super suspect but that’s why I tell my family always be cautious and careful around water when you’re driving you have no idea how you may end up in there.
Apparently the ship lost power a few minutes before hitting the bridge.
@@7clovers007 the ship lost power before hitting the bridge. Stop being a conspiracy theorist.
@@7clovers007 Ship lost power before contact. Look at the Port of Baltimore live stream and you will see the lights go out on the ship a couple minutes before hitting the bridge.
@markzylstra2947
You know wht.. I think your right.
It lost power and put out mayday calls beforehand,there was smoke coming from the ships engine before it hit
New fear unlocked, I'm surrounded by bridges.
A portion? Bro that whole bridge went down lmao
Whoa! We crossed that bridge frequently when my son was in undergrad in D.C. In fact, we drive across bridges frequently going to NJ and NY. Never give crossing them a second thought. I thought that only a portion of the bridge would go down and not the whole thing.
That’s insane. I couldn’t imagine being in my vehicle and that happening…Captain of that ship is in deeeeeep shit.
More like the pilot responsible for navigating that area
Looks like there was a malfunction, loss all lights and power.
@@fasteddie0318 It was. A mayday call was made that the ship lost power, and with that call the MTAP closed the bridge to prevent a massive loss of lives. (Sourced from The Baltimore Sun just so you know I'm not making things up)

Was watching this with no context on my dad’s phone over his shoulder and I was like “that’s gonna collapse isn’t it” and then it did. Now my dad keeps asking me to predict other shit

0:21 Unfortunately those poor workers would have died on impact with the water from that height. Those who survived was an absolute miracle.
Overnight work on the bridge? That looked like a demolition
That's what cheap materials and poorly designed looks like
Lord please have mercy on all of the souls who have been affected by this disaster
Oh hell naw
My thoughts and prayers to everyone. This reminds me of the Sunshine Skyway bridge accident in 1980. A ship hit that bridge plunging cars into the bay killing 35 people.
Better send some
More money overseas
Coincidence? I hope you guys keep your eyes WIDE OPEN. I pray that everybody with eyes see what they are doing!!!

Parts of the bridge are in the water huh which ones aren't?
That bridge is about a mile and a half long. The tallest part collapsed. I’ve been on that bridge, anyone else who has can tell you. The east side takes a long time to lead up to where the ship hit
You can literally see the dynamite exploding across the bridge causing it to collapse…we not blind yall
Where? Must be that smokeless dynamite
@@richies1282 look at the top of the bridge as it collapses, this isn’t exactly the highest quality footage but if you look closely you’ll see the fire and smoke after each explosion
You do know there is high voltage electrical conduit on that bridge right?
I see power lines snapping creating sparks and explosion, no dynamite.
@@ChadTheDragonLord once the power is cut, it’s cut…it’s not going to continue to explode throughout the bridge at the top & bottom of the bridge simultaneously with a collapse following each explosion. But whatever, y’all make up whatever you gotta make up…just know y’all sloppy and everybody not stupid
What a dumb idea to put a bridge in the middle of a river!!!!???? ONLY IN USA...
Are you dumb?
Looks like your schools are worse than ours in the USA.
What are those red flashing flares looking things at each end, and middle of the bridge before collapsing?
Ruled out anything deliberate? Ridiculous, these things take time to investigate. Totally SUS!
Can that ship even fit under the middle of the bridge? If not why was it even headed towards the bridge?
I started too cry when I saw the news
Aww
hey man, you ate my whole dang x-large pizza!....no, just had a portion
Did people really think those 7 people would survive a cargo ship annihilating a bridge? They’re gone.
The boat was Chinese operated
Prayers for the lost souls, their families and the survivors 🙏. According to the comments, the boat power chipped out. And for anyone saying that it's the WHOLE bridge itself, it is the metal section that you're seeing collapsed. Check Google maps for clarity and comparison
How long was that damn bridge if that a portion???
That bridge was flimsy. My my.....😢
Did you guys saw the fire on the left top side?
Prayers for all those lost in this catastrophe
Who was driving the boat?
did the people on the boat live?
That bridge didn't look too be too strong at all. Sending my prayers and condolences to the families who lost love ones. 🙏🏿
The real story is this happened in 1:30 in the morning and the ship called a mayday. Police prevented regular civilians to drive on the bridge so their were only construction workers left on the bridge
From this view we see no cars or trucks fall into the water, just the bridge collapsing 😮
Watch the flashing lights on the road to the right of the middle of the bridge. That's the construction crew. Maybe if you're watching on a phone it's hard to see, but on a larger screen you can see those vehicles fall into the water as the road falls away beneath them.
How come we haven’t heard the stories from the people on the boat yet
Wow! I just watched another video showing police cars blocking both entrances to the bridge and the narrative said cars were able to be stopped before the collision. Then I read the comments and realized it was all lies! I'm glad to see the real footage.
