    Oh, and as we discuss bridges, and phobias about them, particularly @Ghost of LL's fear, I will re-share one of my best memories ever.   We were traveling through SETX, I was driving.  Being quit

Damn, that first video is nuts.

Would not want to be the container ship’s owner today. 

Yeah the Coast Guard, NTSB, FBI, etc are going to do a number on them.  

were they doing construction on the bridge deck?  looks like there were lots of flashing/blinking lights.

Don’t forget the Baltimore Police. McNulty’s on the case.

Yeah, ABC said 7 construction workers were knocked in the water. 

PS I would stock up on some gasoline and or diesel if in that area just in case.....their major terminal operations are inside the area of the bridge

The 30K vehicles that rely on the bridge daily are fucked. 

Jesus, that's insane. Nightmare fuel. Prayers to everyone on the bridge. 

In the video, it looks like the ship had a bunch of lights turn off for maybe 30 seconds or so about a minute before impact.

Almost like they lost power, then got it back.

As someone who has a very serious fear of bridges, yeah. This is definitely one that is going to cause some nightmares.

Do they have harbor captains there?

I'm pretty sure every single port in the US requires a harbor pilot, if not two.

Holy shit. And here’s me thinking that taking the tunnel was the scary route.

Yep, looks like power issue.

Exactly what happened to the south padre bridge in 2001

yea that was pretty sad it would have been much bigger news if not for 911

JFC it looks like the ship was aiming for it. 

Once a ship loses power, it’s at the mercy of the water and wind. Sad situation.

Your first sentence is almost completely true.

Not suggesting this was avoidable.

Yeah those ship channels in Oklahoma are death traps.

Damn, I watch that yt channel all the time, cool to watch the ships come in and out.  They usually train the camera on the port during the day, lucky to have it facing the bridge last night.  Rewind about 7 hours and you can watch the whole thing unfold, sickening how slowly it happens.  Prayers to all the workers on that bridge..

I captained your mom’s harbor last night.

As someone that drives over the Crescent City connection bridge quite a bit, these kinds of scenarios pop up in my mind. This will not help that at all. Prayers for those victims and their families.
