Yeah the Coast Guard, NTSB, FBI, etc are going to do a number on them.  

[gsoda3 3283]

Don’t forget the Baltimore Police. McNulty’s on the case.

The 30K vehicles that rely on the bridge daily are fucked.

I see a new SWA Ad coming from this.

[Dahobbs 17685]

Jesus, that's insane. Nightmare fuel. Prayers to everyone on the bridge. 

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2652]

Holy shit 

[Texas Jeff 1945]

In the video, it looks like the ship had a bunch of lights turn off for maybe 30 seconds or so about a minute before impact.

Almost like they lost power, then got it back.

As someone who has a very serious fear of bridges, yeah. This is definitely one that is going to cause some nightmares.

[HenryJames 66182]

Maybe we’ll get a new national anthem out of it.

I'm pretty sure every single port in the US requires a harbor pilot, if not two.

[DigglerontheHoof 21253]

JFC it looks like the ship was aiming for it. 

[Celery Man 21001]

Holy shit. And here’s me thinking that taking the tunnel was the scary route.

Yep, looks like power issue.

Once a ship loses power, it’s at the mercy of the water and wind. Sad situation.

Your first sentence is almost completely true.

Not suggesting this was avoidable.

Or lake Charles

[UTCzech III 2907]

Damn, I watch that yt channel all the time, cool to watch the ships come in and out.  They usually train the camera on the port during the day, lucky to have it facing the bridge last night.  Rewind about 7 hours and you can watch the whole thing unfold, sickening how slowly it happens.  Prayers to all the workers on that bridge..

I captained your mom’s harbor last night.

[Hate 20146]

As someone that drives over the Crescent City connection bridge quite a bit, these kinds of scenarios pop up in my mind. This will not help that at all. Prayers for those victims and their families.
