#Biden #Baltimore #BridgeCollapse
Construction work is such a dangerous job. Construction workers don’t get enough credit for what they do.
Amen to that!
On average construction workers are subjected to more job related deaths than police and fire men combined, by a factor of 20-40 on average! These are the workers that should be recognized in society. I am not taking anything away from first responders, just saying facts. God Bless them all!
You mean construction men.

Prayers 🙏 for the 6 missing and their families.
And the first responders looking for them...
100%🤝🇺🇲
MDTA took in $56 million in tolls from this bridge alone last year. Cheap bridge that was built 47 years ago, and it didn't even have shoulders for disabled vehicles. Where does that toll money go? Where was the pier protection?
It goes to pay the politicians and city/state/county leaders who have swollen paychecks. Also maybe .025% of it goes to filling those potholes that the people were filling while it collapsed.
An unfortunate truth is they probably weren’t even doing the highest quality pothole filling. Knowing America, they probably filled it with goop that looks like chocolate frosting, giving it an uneven result and an improper fix.
Good point, but this ship is 150,000+ Tons and 1000ft long. Something that size is going to take out almost anything. Tug boats watching the bridge could help.
Toll money goes back to the investors that buy bonds that build the bridges. Toll bridges are income producing so they can’t be built with tax payers money. They are built with money made from investment bonds. Like municipal bonds. And when the bond matures, the money has to be paid back to the investors. Any one can buy municipal bonds.
@@tonyaberman3669useful info
@@tonyaberman3669educational thank you
They opted out on the installation of pylon bumpers, due to cost. I don't think they saved much.
Hindsight...
Completely preventable, tugs should have been required to stay with ship and guide it till past this very important bridge. Two tugs guided it from loading dock to channel then left the ship on its own. This was a tragedy waiting to happen.
Trump could have prevented this from happening
@@noble6441 I don't think so but Biden will blame Trump for sure.
Or at least have tugs stationed near the bridge for backup support if ships need them.
I'm not a bridge expert but that bridge fell apart like a bunch of Legos
Hahahaha.... But no... LEGOS are much more stable 😊😊😊
I'm also not an engineer.... I would say, a kind of security island around the thin pilons are absolutely missing. A ship could strand then and also some big bumpers were senseful..... Disconnected from the pilons for sure....
@@GertKlimanschewski I mean, going off of the internet, the average cargo ship is about 165,000 tons. Maybe the island and barriers would help against small to midsized boats but probably not against a huge cargo ship.
Got hit with a 150,000 ton ship that's why
So did the world trade center.
Yep
Those poor people on the bridge. I can't imagine. It's horrifying and hurtful to hear about.
Baltimore is one of the largest ports in America, this will affect everyone in some way or another. Inflation will rise again if we have more supply chain disruptions.
Someone figured out why this happened. It's all by design
Yep.. my shein order is gonna be late lol
@letsgobrandon9017 Maybe but it's too early to think about that. People still missing and first responders at risk searching for them...
@@frankrivers2183 it’s never too early, I called the Covid inflation right off the bat. The port being closed is going to cause lots of problems, but whatever you can stash now. Major price increase coming.
Oh God here we go
Hope there will be support and sympathy for the victims.
Exactly how I feel.💔
Hopefully better than the Hawaii and ohio disaster victims.
Sympathy yes. Monetary support will be $700 per person, just like Hawaii. Illegals $1000 a week. Thanks for an invasion vp O'Biden and president Koala🐨Harris.
So they had time to stop traffic from going on the bridge but didn’t alert the construction workers?
Super fishy😮😮😮😮😮😮 Scott wrote the star spangled banner.... that bridge was supposed to represent the United States..... Asian cargo ship crashes into the bridge and the bridge collapsed......😮😮😮😮😮 " THE COLLAPSE OF AMERICA" talk about irony 😮😮😮😮
They stopped traffic after the bridge collapsed. There were a small number of cars on the bridge at the time of collapse because it was 1AM.
@@aAtom596wrong. They stopped traffic before the collapse.
Even if they did. It takes time to run/ get in the car. I also wonder what the communication is like for the bridge operator and the workers.
@@aAtom596the cars most likely belonged to the construction workers working on the bridge.
Baltimore is going to have struggles as the Port brought in food for the city... I am praying this gets resolved quickly.
It won't if the feds get involved.
We need to re-invest in America.
We cannot let politicians continuously dismantle public projects with excuses about inflation or national debt, while they simultaneously enrich the most successful corporations in America with tax breaks, bailouts, subsidies, loans, grants, and other donor-friendly policies.
Improving national infrastructure would reduce inflation by reducing cost of production and transport.
Well, one party passed a generational infrastructure bill recently… the other one didn’t during their years of total control, and are busy claiming false credit. Remember those thoughts when you vote.
@@UnsolicitedContextdon’t close the border??… 😅
@@UnsolicitedContextDo you mean the infrastructure bill that didn't have much money for infrastructure?
Zero dollars from infrastructure bill would have gone to the restoration of a fully functional, in tact bridge that has been passing all safety inspections. But hey, great job bringing politics into this...... I was wondering how long it would take for someone to comment on how Brandons infrastructure bill could have prevented this...... WHAT A JOKE.
I agree with you!!
Sadly, that reporter has never heard of physics.
Can you explain? Please
30 thousand cars drive on that daily… 30 thousand cars imagine how many people that would be… imagine thinking 30 thousand cars could fit on that bridge at the same time… was there a brick structure in front of those columns… yeah like a brick wall is gonna stop that ship

Outside the massive weight of the ship. This proves another point of how frail our infrastructure is across the country, even when the states reap the benefits of ridiculous taxes and tolls.
Yeah, bridges aren't built with massive cargo ships running into them factored in...
@@guitarandmore69 not nearly 50 years ago when ships like these were inconceivable. That’s the point, our infrastructure is outdated.

😡🇺🇸🙏🌎
Why weren’t the construction workers warned to get off the bridge if the police blocked both sides?
BIDEN, THAT'S WHY, EVERYTHING SUCKS WITH BIDEN
This would be so terrifying to be on the bridge.
Trump could have prevented this from happening
@@noble6441Trump could have prevented "all deaths" in our world so far this year also, cultist!
@@noble6441 Captain Bone Spurs? Orange Jesus? Yeah he could have prevented this, you're right, if only he wasn't so tied up in court this week! I'm sure he would have rushed right over in his presidential helicopter, he'd jump without a parachute! Land right down on the ship, grab the Captain's wheel, and steered that sucker right out of the harbor in the dark and save everybody. Definitely! If only he wasn't too busy in court this week!
@@noble6441 I am not a Biden supporter but this is foolish thing to say, this could happen under any presidency; I see whoever the Director of the Mayor's Office of Infrastructure Development (MOID) at the time of construction is responsible, or those who had designed the bridge in the first place, there should've been preventatives in place.
Maybe pass a law that big ships have to have tugboats guiding them through bridges so if they lose steering they can’t plow a bridge down !! especially a bridge that doesn’t have the big concrete barriers around the bridge to protect it !
I'm sorry what happened to the icon bridge and the innocent people die from bridge god blessed USA
Not taking away from the situation but look at the difference between this and the train derailment in East Palestine Ohio.
Blue state vs red state, Biden knows this will crush his re-election chances. He’s going to lose Ohio nmw, which is why he doesn’t care.
Is that in America or s Foreigned Terrorist Country that Democrats Lady's and Man's is Passionately in Love with to break the law for and to Steal the American taxpayers money to support in America illegally and Against the law 6:24.
Maryland are democratic voters.....
Maui
Exactly my thoughts. Along with Hawaii?
Okay at first I was irked thinking they want to use federal funds to fix it but I do agree that you can’t just wait for this to be settled for the funding.
Whoever asked basically “why not hold them responsible” was literally the main question I had.
Ultimately they better. Don’t just stick the country/state with the bill and then never come back.
Yeah I feel the same as you
That’s how it works 🤷♂️
No worries… A toll booth fixes everything. BTW Fed made out like a bandit for quantitative easing and the pandemic.
The ship is owned by Maersk (Danish) and flies under a Singapore flag. Not sure Singapore the nation is on the hook, or if both are the maritime approvers in Singapore and Maersk are on the hook. Maritime/admiralty law seems to be a very complex law and it will take years to figure out if those two entities pay and how much. Plus, the wrongful death suits of the construction workers. I'm glad to have my tax money go to fix the problem now, although that will take years for a new bridge. Just unblocking the shipping channels will help all of us keep the cargo moving.
Live in Hampton Roads...shipping channel bridges are mostly bridge tunnels...tunnels are more expensive than bridges, but with the volume of traffic in Baltimore/Dundalk I wonder if a bridge/tunnel isn't a better idea.
It’s ok tho, uncle Jo will just print some more money, and maybe Hunter will sale another painting.
That boat captain is in deep water.
Ain't his fault
Clearly a mechanical failure and not human error
Now the companies ceos are going to be paying out a bunch of people
At this location, the harbor pilot is in charge. The authorities was alerted before the accident. Could be way worst otherwise. Prayers to the workers working on that bridge
With power loss directional control would have been impossible. You can see that she was in full reverse up till the impact but the power was coming and going. You can also tell she dropped her anchor before the impact which would have swung her rather than stopped her.
@@devintariel3769Yep. Sounds like a freak accident.
I come from the port city of Hamburg in Germany. Each bridge girder is protected from such a tragic accident by forward fastenings. This bridge in Baltimore is an engineering failure of the first order.
I need to learn to "walk away" as well as the President did when I've already made clear what I will not talk about.

Why wasn't the anchor dropped once the Captain realized the ship had lost power the first time, I think this could have been prevented
Port anchor was dropped and stretched aft, meaning the anchor was dragged and did nothing.
The bridge didn’t stand a chance against a 1000+ ft container ship. My question is why were there no tugboats escorting the ship that size out of Baltimore harbor?
ASK MAYOR PETE! HE WAS TOO BUSY BREAST FEEDING TO ENSURE TUG BOATS WERE USED

Just read that this ship was escorted away from the loading area and into the harbor by two tugs and then they left it.
With that loud sound came the big bang of wasted money and Whistle Dixie
politics,...We have a better chance of over stocking rubber duckies than doing our national infrastructure justice, the wonders of Congress is in their muddy puddle dreaming state of mind,...😡🇺🇸🙏
It’s crazy how you could be driving to work then falling off a bridge.. scary 😢
What would the FBI be called in for?😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
The FBI is ALWAYS called in when stuff like this happens, if only to confirm that there was no intent. There could still have been criminal negligence aboard the ship or whatever. You simply don't know before you investigate. Law enforcement always investigates accidents, that's the case everywhere.
Because the captain is an illegal immigrant
Second guy who was saved denied treatment
I just hope they weren't too frightened to get checked out due to the atrocious health insurance policies that exist in this country...
I don't understand why most Americans are so dead set against having a health care plan that's like Canada's.
I'm a Canadian and I honestly don't mind paying a little extra taxes for health care. I see a doctor, get blood work done, I bet that would cost an arm and a leg if I had to do that in America, but here I'm covered. All I have to do is show my health care card. A couple years ago my dad died of leukemia. He fought it for 2 years, and if we were in America and had to deal with that, it would have bankrupted us, and he would have died anyway. I don't see what's so bad about paying into a system that saves people's lives.
@@FuckCensorship62 Like I personally know people who won't call an ambulance even if they get a terrible injury or old people when they fall because they aren't prepared to face the bill. It's so sad we have to live in a system like this where if you or your family can't afford it, your entire livelihood gets fvcked. The debt collectors don't stop coming for your family once your loved ones die also. It's terrible.
@@peytonlutz1 Yeah. It shouldn’t be that way in a first world country. If leaders can’t take care of the people in their country, that makes it a 3rd world country.
And no matter how healthy you are, no matter how many sit ups you can do in the morning, we all get sick eventually.
In Canada things like cigarettes and alcohol come with a heavy tax because of how bad they are for your health. So when you need help from nearly drinking yourself to death, you’re covered, they’ll give you a new pair of kidneys.
In America, cigarettes and alcohol are so cheap that it’s probably real easy to ruin your life with them before you know it, and when that day comes, you’re pretty much owned by the bank, from not being able to afford the doctor bills.
@@FuckCensorship62 Have you ever watched the tobacco industry lobbyists in the 90s pleading to Congress that their products were safe for consumers?
We need to all adopt Australia's tobacco plain packaging. The government spent money to find the least desirable color according to surveys and forced cigarette manufacturers to only use that color and include an image of the consequences of cigarettes.
@@peytonlutz1 I haven’t.
Canada has those ugly, drab-green packages for tobacco products, along with the big warning labels depicting real pictures of what it can do to you.
That’s actually what got me to quit. It took a bit, but I did it. And after 3 weeks of no smokes and alcohol, it was the best I’ve ever felt!
It was the filters that really did it for me though, there was something really gross feeling about the no-name filters
Anybody know what time this broadcast was? I see posted 58 mins ago but see pre-dawn images.
Immediately after I had seen this happen I commented that the federal government should step in because states can't bear this type of burden, everything at the stete level must be funded by taxpayers. Good to see some sense in the federal government for once
'saw,' not 'had seen'
@@gearhead8681 "I had seen" is just the past participle, which isn't improper usage here
Good point, cause as we all know, federal tax dollars are funded by a printing press.
I do agree with biden. The federal government should pay for a new bridge as that would be the fastest method possible to get that critical time saver for citizens of Baltimore. Going after the company responsible should happen, but it should happen after a new bridge is constructed. Regardless, I personally would rather have some of the best bridge architects in the country work on designing a new bridge immediately. But also make sure it is done with enough time to make it safe and well made to last for decades.
Of course Biden responded so-quickly Baltimore is a red hot lefty city.
Feds can assist in building then a toll system to pay money back over time. A lot of bridges and other transportation projects are funded that way
So you want the federal government to build a match stick bridge and send a few billion to Ukraine. Got it
The persons who produce eggs Biden would put in charge with the rebuild will fail, ON PURPOSE. We have a federal government that is purposefully failing. On the ashes they will build an America in the model of the CCP.
No worries, the toll company will recoup the cost for the Fed. The Fed made more $$$ during the pandemic and qualitative easing.
This is sad the people tht felt on the water wow 😮heart breaking
Why were the police so close to the site to be able to close it at either end? That is far beyond what a miracle can hold.
Night construction/repair work....pretty sure police on site is routine!
The government needs to stay out of our business.
Special Report? But not a Special report when the Fires of Maui was happening?
Let me guess? The president can't debate because it will take 6 months to talk about a Bridge?😮😮😢😢😢😢😢😮😢😢😢😮😢😢😢
You weren't paying attention during the Maui fire? I saw several special reports during that time.
Go watch a report on the fires happening in Maui then, genius.
how are you going to stop a cargo with that much weight on it ? Beautiful bridge though.
I live right outside of Baltimore City, I used to drive on that bridge all the time and admire the view of the bay. It was one of my favorite bridges and it is so tragic and sad to see it in the river like that.
Billions for everything except Americans
What about Palestine Ohio? They're still suffering. This administration is garbage
first thing I thought about.
A. There was an appropriate response. OH governor initially said he wanted no federal funds/resources. Then backtracked like all red state hypocrites.
B. Train derailments happen all the time, thank the GOP for fighting against regulations

The fastest rebuild of a collapsed road due to an earthquake was in Anchorage, Alaska. After a magnitude 7.0 earthquake on November 30, 2018, a significant off-ramp near the Anchorage Airport collapsed. Remarkably, the road was rebuilt and reopened just four days later, on December 4, 2018
That ship can hold 10,000 cargo containers, each weighs 9800 lb empty. If all those cargo containers were empty, that ship could have been carrying around a million pounds of cargo. I don't think there's a structure out there that can take a million pounds of cargo plus the weight of the ship.
I wonder if the ship could have dropped all anchors to avoid the crash.
It’s likely that the ship would have dragged anchor as it would have not have had enough time to stop the ship before impact
They dropped the port anchor.
It was stretched out aft.
It did nothing but direct the vessel towards the pylon.
I think they did but it was to late but that point to stop in time
Quite likely, that if they did nothing after the power on the ship was lost, they would avoid the crash...

I see people in the comments going on about pylon protection. First, nothing in the world could stop a ship that size moving even 5 knots. Second, this bridge was built when the ships where like 1/5th the size. Back then, ships as big as our container ships where inconceivable.
I for one am just glad it wasn't an oil tanker or a liquid propane tanker. As bad as this is, it could of been so much worse. It could of been an oil tanker hitting at rush hour. Thousand people dead and an oil spill in Baltimore bay.
