I don’t even know what to say. How something like that could happen is beyond me. It just sucks for anyone who was on that bridge at the time. From the little I saw it does look like there were cars that were sent into the river.

No idea how the **** that’s possible. Some sort of major **** up by that ship.
Something out of a movie. |

even early morning, in a metro area, there had to be a lot of people on that bridge

Wonder how long it's going to **** the port of Baltimore. Could be an absolute disaster economically

Would kind of like to hear a nerdy breakdown of the physics involved here. It looks like such a slow-moving boat. Like, can't I just reach out my foot and give it a little love-tap to stop it? But obviously it's basically a floating island of weight. Really makes you think how many times per day a similar ship goes under a similar bridge and everybody on the bridge has their lives in the hands of an unknown crew they will never even know existed.

Wow, that sucks. I have been over that bridge at least a dozen times myself. It's bad enough it happened in the first place, but glad it didn't happen around 5:30PM.

You can follow the ships track on a maritime tracking tool and it was acting erratically. https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...39.236/zoom:14 Bottom line is there should have been a fleet of tugs pulling this ship and its moronic captain out of harms way. |
