Baltimore fire chief describes rescue after bridge collapse
So at approximately 0140 hours this morning our 911 Center dispatched a call to the Baltimore City Fire Department for a report of a water rescue um in the paba river in the area of the keyi bridge as units were responding they began to receive numerous calls indicating multiple people in the water
At some point during that that chain of events of calls um we began to receive indications that a uh a ship may have struck the Key Bridge we got further information through multiple calls that the Key Bridge um portions of the Key Bridge had actually collapsed at about 0150 hours our first
Unit arrived on scene and reported um a complete collapse of the Key Bridge um we were also given information at that time that there were likely multiple people on the bridge at the time of the collapse and that as a result multiple people were in the water that
Information about how many cars were on that ship last question on the uh on the deck of the bridge at the time it collapsed you don’t don’t have a number I can tell you our sonar has detected the presence of vehicles submerged in the water I don’t have count of that yet
A container ship rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early on Tuesday, causing it to snap in various places and fall into the Patapsco River. Several vehicles fell into the water, and rescuers were initially searching for at least seven people.

Chinese bridges are stronger.
JEMBATAN TUA!!..waktunya di robohkan,di buat baru yang lebih megah,kuat,dan lebih iconik..😉😁😁
it was an attack not a bridge collapse.
Nothing to see here people.
Happens all the time.
Not a TERROR ATTACK.
Go back to sleep America.
Your Governments in control.
Luckily it's a Singaporean cargo ship, if it was a Chinese or Russian cargo ship,
then imagine what the western politicians and media would say
it's not the bridge that collapsed it's America's ego
Why is the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency involved in the investigation of the ship's control systems?
Do ships normally cross that bridge?
…”how many cars were on that bridge”?
We don’t have a number our sonar detected …”
Don’t they have CAMERAS on both ends and on the bridge that record the traffic?!
