I sure hope that is AI, but....
Terrorist attack, my first thought.
Wow, incredible.

Curious that someone was filming this, starting before it happened, with a handheld video. Was this an accident?
Its dated 3/25/24 10:40 pm. That’s 6:40 pm Alaska time, so this is fake, as it’s after 11 pm here now.
Terrorism? Or the Capt is a DEI hire? Just speculation at this point. The 48 hr rule applies.
Imagine the MSM reaction if Trump was in the White House.
Another success for the Bidet Administration!

The ship was the “Dali”??

Reports that the ship caught fire & sank?
Let me guess,
Foreign crew, predominately Moslem, Indonesian ships master.
They could not drop an anchor after a failure put them so far out of the channel and slam the engines into reverse.
Did the pilot survive getting his throat slit?
When you are dealing with that much mass in motion things happen slow, but they are going to happen.
From the video, it looks like the ship was moving at a fairly high rate of speed. I am surprised that there didn’t appear to be large concrete piers surrounding the uprights. It is dark so hard to see, of course.
Prayers up for those on the bridge.
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.
Another video from a different angle (& close):

The “Dali” was leaving Baltimore headed for Sri Lanka:

Was the bridge open or closed to traffic at time of collapse?
