If we thought Baltimore was in bad shape before this, give it a week or two...

 

[Creedmoor]

Holy sh!t

Edit
This is a bridge that has no Dolphins to protect it from what happened this morning.

 

[Magyars]

Mass casualties, unknown number. If it has any positive's its fortunate it happened in the middle of the night

Johnny big time, its Baltimore's outer most bridge, Its also the has-mat route around the tunnels. Fox just said it had workers on the bridge that are some of those in the water.

 

[Creedmoor]

They are saying they think about 20 people in the water,

 

[Cavman]

Well guess brightside is its Baltimore so I am sure the biden administration will respond. Hope they can find survivors. And Prayers for all of them

As I recall from working in Baltimore there are 5 shipping terminals above Key Bridge, its gonna be a HUGE IMPACT to shipping on the east coast until they get the shipping channel clear. Not to mention impacts to commuters, trucking industries.

Yea was just reading about that there. Sure ol pete will be out there to get it rolling. Makes me wonder what kinds impact our bridges down here on the Ohio can take? I know some barges have hit them before

This bridge is the route for trucks carrying g hazardous materials around d the 95 tunnel

The vessel is a container ship apparently. The bridge looks like it fell across the bow and looks like it caught fire.
Force Majure if you had any containers onboard.

 

[MarylandTacomaRider]

honestly with all my experiences working down in Balmer. It doesn’t surprise me that something like this would happen over there.

Yep.

One of the shipping terminals above Key Bridge is the largest container terminal on the East coast.

Does coast guard control this waterway ?

 

[Creedmoor]

Those are five shipping terminals that are above Key Bridge.

If you look at the map above, at the bottom of the map is Hawkins Point, that's where Coast Guard Station Baltimore is.
