The cargo ship that crashed into Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge lost propulsion before hitting the bridge, which collapsed immediately after being struck. Robert Sumwalt, a CBS News transportation safety analyst and former chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, discusses the new information.

CORRECTION [my bad]: they lost both electrical power for hydraulics (rudder) & the screws stopped turning, too. 0:44 0:49 it hit so hard it pushed the pylon out from under the bridge deck, bringing the deck down on the forward 5th of the deck. Look at the pix.

In navigation rules when a ship transit through a high traffic harbor, all propulsion plants and all generators are suppose to be online. The multiple generators are supposed to be in synchronization called split plant, in case you lose one generator, the other generators will still keep the ship going. Also the dexk department supposed to be on the bow of the ship to drop Anchor in case of something like this. Im curious what happened.

The ship was steering towards statboard & appears to be going to fast , after it lost power.

The ship had lights on before it crashed so I don't know if it lost electrical power or if that's just the excuse they gave. Granted I don't know much about ships, but I assume losing electricity would also mean losing power to lights on the deck.

@peterdarr383 Месяц назад

On a cruise ship there are 6 Diesel engines turning 4 propellers, so it's Diesel-Electric. There's a big controller, power diverter getting the electricity from the generators to the electric motors, and it would be this item that failed. They still would have control of 4 anchors to try an emergency stop if they had time. The lights going out may have been crew trying a computer "reset".

@JLOOV-JLOOV Месяц назад

I wonder: Was a proper risk assessment conducted for this bridge, taking into account all potential hazards, including the risk of collision from large ships passing through, and were necessary mitigation actions identified? Who bears the responsibility for ensuring that such a risk assessment is carried out and that corresponding mitigation measures are effectively implemented? If a risk assessment was indeed performed, was this specific accident, which tragically occurred, considered among the unacceptable risks-those that cannot be tolerated under any circumstances? This particular incident sadly underscores one of the worst-case scenarios: the risk of collision, stemming from navigational errors, adverse weather conditions, or mechanical failures. To address the latter, it's imperative to adhere to strict size and weight restrictions for ships passing under the bridge, alongside implementing protective measures such as structural barriers and fender systems. Additionally, utilizing advanced monitoring technologies are crucial steps to detect and mitigate potential mechanical failures early on.
