HOW TO SURVIVE: If this ever happens to you (car in water) WINDOWS DOWN IMMEDIATELY AND CAR DOOR OPEN. once your car is submerged the water pressure will make it impossible to open door as it will builds greater and greater as you sink. Your car door will only open once the pressure inside the car and outside has equalized meaning you have to wait for the car to fill up with water (probably in the dark, yikes) to be able to open it, assuming its a mechanical door. Have a flashlight with the glass breaking tips in case you don't do this. The water will short your electricity and therefore the windows and possibly doors, making it impossible to get out without the glass breaker. Praying for survivors!

I am sure that the whole thing will have been nothing more than a tragic accident but it won't really take away from the shock and horror that people will undoubtedly be feeling at a time like this. Best of luck to the hundreds of rescue workers who are all pitching in.

Yes, this type of bridge has no chance to withstand such impact from such huge ship. It was not built that in mind back in 1970s. If they can not build more improved design and engineered bridge in the coming months, they should just scrap it and build a underwater tunnel which will cost more unless there will be multiple accident inside the tunnel. Everything comes down to the cost.

God bless the helpers, the rescuers and those in distress.

This is a container ship, a vessel that transports containers, not a ship container. Why hasn't media stated the owner of this vessel, it's so stated in giant letters on both port and starboard sides of the vessel. What is the T.E.U of the vessel? Knowing the T.E.U's would give much information as to how many seaman onboard, size and weight etc. The ship is named Dali and has an owner. Also, the most hazardous cargo such a ship like Dali would transport, is placed on the deck at the bow, this being the furthest from the operational super structure and engines! The ships bow is what struct the bridge and any containers placed there should be of great concern. Are any of them now in the water? Damaged? Leaking ...? 😮

Clear recommendation was to make sure such a bridge can be closed down for traffic at very short notice.

They won't exist after this

This is the 911 with boats. My prayers go to those who survived and died.

I’m just so sorry. Prayers to everyone involved

Prayers for all those lost in this catastrophe...

In the UK a bridge like this would have concrete piers that a boat would crash into first to stop this happening. Where are US building and safety regulations?? 😮😮🇬🇧💙💙💙💙🙏🇬🇧

Maryland is a liberal-run state, I know it's easy for a Brit to overlook this fact. Pete Buttplug is the current U.S. DOT secretary. Maryland is run by liberals.

I totally agree! Where are the massive concrete supports on this bridge???

It looked intentional and I believe that's a drawbridge

They’re called dolphins and they are installed on new bridges. This bridge didn’t have them obviously. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is completely surrounded by them after it was rebuilt following a collapse of the west span from a ship strike. The Key Bridge will likely incorporate them when it is rebuilt

You would think that a bridge would be designed to withstand a ship collision - it seems like a very conceivable event that would be considered. But, on the other hand, perhaps it was but a modern container ship is just way more massive than anything conceived in 1977 when the bridge was built.

Container ships today are basically floating sky scrapers

IDK, we were on the way up to my parents & got stopped from going over the Driscoll Bridge on the NJ Parkway. Runaway barge. Closed the whole thing down in both directions for hours.

When you have the kind of mass on the containership moving at a certain speed than the collision is going to be magnified. I just can't believe he actually ran into one of the supports. Was he not at the steering wheel?

Thank you❤

I assume this is an ocean-going ship and there is a local pilot responsible for this, the rules I am aware of is a local has to be in charge. On the Mississippi river that is not the case, the local captains drive under all the dozens of bridges, but that is not the case of foreign, ocean going ships.

oh

The Wikipedia page for the bridge has already been edited to include the collapse, that was fast!

Sure was...I went to check as well and it was already listed. Scroll down the page and there is an in-vehicle video driving over the bridge (pre-collapse) and you can't see to either side, to anyone driving over the bridge wouldn't have had any warning a ship was heading that way
