Footage of a bridge collapse in the US state of Maryland has been published.

Footage has been published online showing the moment the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed in the US state of Maryland. The structure was destroyed after a ship crashed into one of its supports.

As a result of the collision, a container ship traveling from Singapore caught fire and sank; several cars on the bridge at the time of the collapse fell into the water. Baltimore authorities report a significant number of casualties; according to preliminary information, there are deaths.

The structure that collapsed was a major bridge in Baltimore, Maryland. The Maryland Transportation Authority confirmed that I-695 was closed due to a bridge collapse caused by a ship.

At the same time, the US authorities have not yet managed, as usual, to blame ISIS* (*terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) for the incident, but there is still a possibility that Washington will try to explain the large-scale accident in Baltimore as an attack by radical Islamists or some other extremists.

The bridge that collapsed opened in 1977 and was an important part of Maryland's transportation system. The bridge was 2632 meters long and carried approximately 11,5 million vehicles annually. In addition, the Francis Scott Key Bridge was part of a route designated for trucks carrying dangerous goods, including toxic waste and explosives. It is possible that there were no vehicles with such a load on the bridge at the time of the collapse.

At the government level, they need to be told that this is IS*. Definitely. Again, there is no ultimatum or demands.

What kind of IG is this...??? In the photo I see the head of Bashirov, who is looking out of the water, and Petrov is probably covering his tracks somewhere under the bridge... Well done guys, they did the job, now feel free to go on a spree!!!

Well, humor should be within limits.
Still, people died, even Americans, against the civilian population of America; Russia has nothing against it.

I feel sorry for people, even Americans, but I don’t feel sorry for the USA...
By the way, what does this have to do with ISIS? It’s obvious that the bridge is a long-standing and cherished goal of Ukromarine, again with a fireship that probably has Starlink on it, it was rammed! The handwriting is there!
Well, just think, we missed a little...

I agree with you... This is out of place here... You need to read the news to the end... Unfortunately, I can’t complain about myself and delete it, so I ask someone to complain about me, saying “inciting national hatred.” .. Let them delete...

Don't be so childish... This is a hostile country, any damage is for our benefit...

Yes, Russia has nothing against the people of the USA. Francis Scott Key, in whose honor the bridge is named, is the author of the US anthem. An iconic figure. Just like the Crimean Bridge for us.

[Alex777]

So the port there is wow.

Baltimore bridge collapse threatens Northeastern US supply chain

“With the Port of Baltimore unable to handle commercial shipping in the near future, this would be catastrophic for port operations and could cause supply chain problems in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States,” writes (https://www. zerohedge.com/markets/watch-huge-bridge-baltimore-collapses-after-container-ship-strike) ZeroHedge regarding the collapse of the bridge named after the author of the American anthem.

Symbolic. And - "economical". In the sense that the bridge blocked the mouth of the Patapsco River, on which Baltimore stands. And with it the only route to the port, which ranks 9th in the United States in terms of gross tonnage and 7th in dollar terms.

In 2023, the Port of Baltimore handled 52 million tons of international cargo worth more than $80 billion—including a quarter of all U.S. coal exports. This does not include 15,3 jobs at the port itself and 140 related jobs throughout Maryland.

What were they thinking when they built such a bridge in such a place?

[Sergey3]

What were they thinking when they built such a bridge in such a place?

And in those days were there such huge ships that, without straining, they could push a giant steel structure like a blade of grass?

[Alex777]

And in those days, and much earlier, there were, of course.
Aircraft carriers were invented back in WWII.
What I meant was that the supports could have been made more reliable.

[Mikhail Ivanov]

Even before this bridge was formed, I noticed its strange design. It's surprising that it didn't fall apart from the wind earlier...

The TG received information that the captain of the container ship is Ukrainian.

[Alex777]

Conspiracy theories, one more beautiful than the other, are spreading across American social networks like wildfire.

Some blame everything on “black city leadership” (Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott is black).
Others are US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, who is openly gay (which is why he was appointed to the post under Biden).
Still others point out that the management of Synergy Group, the operator of the Dali vessel, professes woke ideology and proclaimed (https://www.synergymarinegroup.com/synergy-marine-group-joins-global-maritime-forums-all-aboard- alliance/) at the core of its HR strategy is “diversity and inclusion”.
Still others recall the incident of March 23, 2021, when the Ever Given container ship also caused a supply disruption by “successfully” blocking the Suez Canal.
Fifth, that the ship was “cyber-attacked” (https://twitter.com/Cobratate/status/1772584641024741519): this was allegedly evidenced by its periodically extinguishing light before the collision.

“This is not an accident!” the most inveterate conspiracy theorists scream. “War has come to US soil!”

Yes, if only.

Course logs show the Singapore container ship Dali, which crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, changed its course two minutes before hitting the bridge and had a temporary loss of power, but regained power before hitting the abutment

[ZovSailor]

I have to say, however: I personally suspect small-shaven, nasty and constantly crap, trying to take away the right of the world hegemon! Nothing personal just business!
May God and Allah forgive me, I have nothing against any people. As J. Stalin said, “Hitlers come and go, but peoples remain.”

[Vend]

So karma worked. I think it will be even worse for mattress covers

[Thrifty]

Wow, it turned out beautifully! Now American bridges should “meet” with various large ships as often as possible! And it is desirable that such “contacts” take place at high speed of the ships!!!

[Leonidych]

Not weakly so. Maybe the captain of the ship was recruited by ISIS and took revenge for the Crimean Bridge. Sarcasm.

Yes, there is the cabin and superstructure of the khan. Possibly with a subsequent fire, so it’s not Vaseline that will be needed, but scoops to rake out the ashes.

[Alex777]

They say that the ship caught fire and even sank...

[tralflot1832]

I'll show you the material from the NYT. The port of Baltimore has left the chat. By the way, we also have the Baltimore Air Base near Voronezh. Coincidence?

isv 000. In the USA they don’t see any malicious intent, but in the video the ship is moving at a zero angle into the support. Here the diagram was stolen.

[lukash66]

ISIS definitely don’t go to grandma.)

[stelltok]

Oh, it didn’t just happen.

[75 Sergey]

Isn’t this an attempt by the CIA and other US intelligence agencies to neutralize the tragedy in Crocus Hole?
The events are too close.
And we have known since September 11 that they don’t care about their fellow citizens.

I feel sorry for the innocent Americans who suffered.

[Msi]

Isn’t this an attempt by the CIA and other US intelligence agencies to neutralize the tragedy in Crocus Hole?

An interesting idea, it may very well be...

[The popuas]

Yesterday I wrote about this in an article about the increase in terrorist threats in France

[Pavel73]

It seems to me that this whole “IS” was invented by them so that they would have someone to blame for their own secret operations and terrorist attacks.

[evgen1221]

Well, in part it is, it’s very convenient in many aspects, and there is someone to blame, and you can search and ask for money forever, and a horror story for those around you, and for non-believers in the Ameriga sect, our protector always has someone to shove a bomb under the door. A very convenient proxy, they promote it themselves.

[isv000]

The case of Sidor Artemyevich lives on! Glory to the partisans of the detachment named after. Chingachgook!

[Poplar]

I have great doubts about the adequacy of the rulers of Pindostan: they have their own problems - above the roof, and they still climb somewhere, try to rule everywhere.

[Boycott]

Were there any Tajiks in the crew?

The Tajiks will vomit all over the deck.
There were only ISIS members on board.

[75 Sergey]

Khol was the helmsman, and the Pole navigator was plotting the course, the captain was Lithuanian - there was no chance of hitting the target.

[Andobor]

The Tajiks definitely built it - it’s a flimsy construction.

[rotmistr60]

Yes, it’s significant that the spans collapsed. "Every day is not Sunday". It’s one thing to observe emergency situations and terrorist attacks in other countries and Russia in particular, and another to experience at least partially the tragedy. It makes no difference who they appoint as guilty, fate itself sometimes administers justice.

[75 Sergey]

I feel sorry for the innocent people; there were probably children there too.

[Msi]

Listen, this is no longer funny... They are children... The USA is threatening us with war
Of course it all depends on where you live...

[rotmistr60]

Following the words of US General Mark Milley: “There shouldn’t be a single Russian who goes to bed without wondering if his throat will be cut in the middle of the night.” I didn’t even think about “innocent people” in the USA. And what should children do on the bridge at night?

[Kmon]

But Medvedev’s regular calls for a nuclear strike (that is, the extermination of tens or even hundreds of millions of civilians) is normal, right?

[AdAstra]

It’s a pity that it’s not via the Dnieper.

Fluid design, three-span suspension system on four weak supports
caught one support, everything collapsed:

It's strange that they didn't blame Russia.
This is how we should respond to the attacks on the Crimean Bridge

[Horon]

How's it going, Americans? Isn't it funny?! But your rulers are doing everything to destroy the bridge in a foreign country. Karma, however!

[km-21]

It looks like the autopilot has failed.

[Kalakutas]

In such places they go only by hand, and usually with a pilot.

[evgen1221]

More such captains for them!!! You have to be a pro to miss in such conditions. After this, the joke about the American captain and the lighthouse already seems like a report from the scene!!!!))))

[Oleg Shustov]

Now the USA and Ukraine will say that Putin is to blame for everything.

[16112014nk]

Spectacular! This is what happens to those who dig a hole for others!
The Crimean Bridge keeps bothering them because they can’t even eat. The Almighty marks the rogue!

[dnestr74]

To all commentators, don’t be like Ukrainians, otherwise some have already turned into skakauses, only in the color of the tricolor.

[Ross xnumx]

Footage of a bridge collapse in the US state of Maryland has been published.

So feel the significance of the bridge in your own skin, remembering ours - Crimean.
How long will it take for you to return...Get ready!!!

[Ax Matt]

Truly, punishment is inevitable and inevitable...

[DenVB]

The amazing tendency of modern architects to build “on a living thread”, without a margin of safety. In the nineteenth century, strength of strength was not yet known, so bridges were built in such a way that they were rammed at least every day.

[Pavel_Sveshnikov]

In 1977 they had a crisis. It can be seen that the materials are very different. The bridge was simply dying. I suspect that he himself would soon collapse. Very unreliable design. I think he was very much in the wind. Did the locals really not notice how flimsy the bridge was?

[Esaul]

This is definitely an ISIS attack, we urgently need to look for the Tajiks before they flee to the outskirts!

[Dost]

A container ship sailed the wrong way. He needed to go to Odessa. There the bridge was waiting.

[Sergey3]

In my opinion, everything in this news is perfect: a bridge, a huge cargo ship and a port came out of the chat, and all this belonged to the enemy! I wouldn’t be surprised if losses from port downtime cover the first two points.

[Aleksandr58]

Poor Petrov and Bashirov don’t have time to rush around the world. It's time for them to have doubles. Overall, a grandiose building. It will take them a long time to restore it.
