Maryland: Ship hits Francis Scott Key Bridge causing it to collapse

The Maryland Transportation Authority said that all lanes are closed in both directions


The Francis Scott Key Bridge along I-695 in Maryland collapsed into the Baltimore harbor early Tuesday morning.

A livestream of the bridge appeared to show a cargo ship colliding with a support beam, causing the bridge to break and fall into the water.

The Maryland Transportation Authority said on social media that all lanes are closed in both directions and that traffic is being detoured.

How does that happen with todays technology.

Stupidity and carelessness trump technology, every time.

What a disaster. No ships in or out of the terminal now....beltway on east side shut off... Good thing it didn't happen at 0730 when the bridge is a parking lot.

USCG report on this one is going to be interesting. Ship would have been under the direction of a Baltimore pilot at the time.

My money is on a mechanical/control malfunction. Just spitballing...

DEI hire at the wheel?

hmmmmmmmm... last year, huge suspicious fires distracted the population from the Administrations actions AND crippled Americans supply lines..
Is it folly that this ELECTION years antics may include strangling cities with bridge disasters? I'm gonna pass on WW Bridge, or the 301 Thomas Johnson by pass.....

Heyyyyy..... how 'bout those ships at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge....

San Fran's Golden Gate, New Yorks Verrazano,, Oh, the Florida Keys.....

Went out on a cruise ship in Feb, looked like we were going to hit the darn thing.

They probably didn't factor in the extra high tide.

Hardly. ;-)

Ship lost power and couldn't stop. Found out my oldest was headed that direction to work a couple days in York, PA. Husband had to text him to let him know not to go that way.

Asian woman driver?

FIFY

I got a friend on a cruise out of Baltimore, any guesses where the boat will dock now? Maybe Norfolk, VA.?

Holy sh*t. That's almost like watching the Twin Towers fall.

Or Philly or New York, but my guess would be Philly, depending on where they are.

They were also on the ball enough to send a notice that the commuter bus I ride from southern maryland to DC would not be affected.

Playing how close can you get to the traffic cone but this time with a bridge and ship.
