Early this morning, the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD, collapsed after a cargo ship collided with a support column, causing the bridge to collapse. The Francis Scott Key Bridge is a significant commuter route carrying the Baltimore Beltway I-695 over the Patapsco River at the southern end of the Baltimore Harbor.
There are no official reports on casualties yet; however, there are unconfirmed cars in the water and reports of several construction workers unaccounted for. As of just before 5 a.m. EDT, rescue crews have not pulled anyone out of the water. A road crew was fixing potholes on the bridge at the time. Two people were rescued from the water. One was not injured; the other was seriously hurt and was hospitalized. Search efforts are underway for six others who are missing.
In the video below, the ship’s lights can be seen going off and then on again as it appears to pass by the support column. Suddenly and inexplicably, the lights on the cargo ship are turned back on as the ship appears to turn toward the support column and hits it head-on.
So did the hoody mayor order the cancelation of tug escorts out of the harbor.hearing this procedure was stopped 3 months ago?. In the navy we usually had tug escorts in/out harbors/ ports.
I don’t see this as intentional. A simple shift for trains truckers longshoreman and a win for Philly Wilmington Norfolk portsmith..
So having a interstate on the shore would have helped but we get bike lanes and more lights congestion traffic and deaths..
So where is buttiberg our So called transportation czar, just another failure of the biden polit bureau, on maternity leave again??
yes he is pregnant this time
