Terrorism shouldn’t be ruled out at this point, but it’s an odd time of the day to carry it out. If someone’s going to go through the trouble, might as well do it during rush hour to maximize casualties.

Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge has been closed to traffic following an “incident,” the Maryland Transportation Authority said “All lanes closed both directions for incident on I-695 Key Bridge,” the authority said in a statement. “Traffic is being detoured.”What a blessing there was warning.,..

You beat me by about a minute. Maybe somebody from the area can say for sure if this is real.

Russia broke 2 signed treaties and invaded Ukraine, in a territory grab, because the US is weak.
There was no "tentative" peace deal.

I’m listening to the scanner feed for the Baltimore City Fire Department. It’s real.

Understood.
Would’ve preferred nobody on the bridge but that’s not how reality works, unfortunately.

Commandeer a ship, like they commandeered the planes on 9/11.

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. ~ ~ ~
Yes, it does look that way.
In the map below, the Chesapeake Bay is on the right. Heading northwest toward Baltimore Harbor, the Francis Scott Key Bridge (I-695 bypass) is the first bridge encountered on the wide Patapsco River approach.
Location: I-695 outer-harbor crossing -- 1.6 miles of 4-lane bridge structure (185 feet vertical clearance, 8.7 miles of approach roadways)
Traffic Volume: 11.3 million vehicles
This outer crossing of the Baltimore Harbor opened in March 1977 as the final link in I-695 (the Baltimore Beltway). The 1.6 mile Key Bridge crosses over the Patapsco River where Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the words of the Star Spangled Banner. This facility also includes the Curtis Creek Drawbridge. Including the bridge and approach roadways, the facility is approximately 10.9 miles in length.

From the scanner feed of Baltimore City Fire: all power to the bridge has been secured , i.e. turned off. But there are reports from the bridge there are still some lights on. They’re trying to confirm.
