RE: Curious that someone was filming this, starting before it happened, with a handheld video. Was this an accident?

or someone saw a large ship slowly approaching the bridge supports and took out their phone and clicked video...as we all hope we would in a similar situation.

Looks like everything in Port of Baltimore is going to be stuck there for some time. Nothing going in or out of it if the bridge totally collapsed. That’s could be a big deal on the East Coast.

It’s the top story on Daily Mail.

As usual we get the story first from the foreign media. Now I'm seeing it on the Fox News app.

I read the ship sunk too!

Sabotage?

Terrorism?

As big of news as this is and it still is not on Fox News main webpage. I had to google search to find it at Fox and its like a buried story. WTH?

My bet is terrorism.

The Russia / China / Iran axis wants a war, with the US, while corrupt, senile Pedo Joe is in office.

There are recent photos of the scene and the ship is still there afloat with bridge girders draped over it. One of the videos had a commentator saying how the ship ran into the bridge and it sank. But it was evident he was speaking of the bridge “sinking” into the water.

A diversion?

Sabotage?

Terrorism?

U.S. news outlets have their heads up their backsides.

Or something broke down and rather than call for help they sat around thinking about life instead.

Those vehicles on the right were what I saw. The way they flipped off the bridge is horrifying. The thoughts that must have been going through the people’s minds ...
Listening to the scanner and they just said the workers were pouring concrete. They keep talking about searches being negative and I assume they’re hoping to find workers who were standing on the bridge swimming in the water. With that kind of collapse, I doubt any survived.

A terrible thing to happen.

Photo of the ship in the dawn’s early light.

I saw some X posts where somebody is saying the first images of the collapse were posted by somebody that also had lots of pro-Trump and pro-Nazi posts. Boy - those liberals sure can create their conspiracy theories quickly.

Was the bridge open or closed to traffic at time of collapse?

Couple snippets I’ve seen said “4 civilians and multiple construction workers” on the bridge.

Actually, it is the WEF controlled dhimicrats and neo-cons that have been pushing for a war with Russia. In 2022, there was a tentative peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. Then, Boris Johnson flew into Kyiv and scuppered the deal, and the war continues to this day.

You poke the bear hard enough and long enough, and he hits back. Though most likely not, this could be pay back for the Crocus terrorist attack.

Ship lights on and off before hitting bridge. Current police scanner says no comm from ship. Suspicious.

Looks like sabotage/terrorism to me. (With a pinpoint hit.)
