A container ship rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers were searching for survivors.

    The video shows the ship losing power & all it’s lights going out prior to hitting the bridge.

    Apparently, it’s not the first time it’s collided with something though.

      EDIT: this other video analysis shows it better, https://youtu.be/N39w6aQFKSQ

      • T-4 min: loses power, going at 8.7 KN, starts drifting off course
      • T-3 min: regains power, starts slowing down
      • T-0: impacts bridge, at 1.5 KN

      The video shows the ship losing power & all it’s lights going out prior to hitting the bridge.

      Not the video I’ve seen:

      Before crash

      Bridge falls onto ship

      After crash

      All lights on the ship seem to be on, except for the ones that… well, stop being attached to the ship.
