NEW: At least 7 people are missing after cargo ship appears to lose power & slam into the support beam of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland.
The ship was being piloted by a local pilot who specializes in moving in and out of the Port of Baltimore.Two people have been rescued from the river. One was uninjured and the other is in “very serious condition” in the hospital.
The ship is a Singapore-flagged container ship, the Dali.

Agree with your analysis. But two details that still bother me are: 1) The smoke appears to be the engines powering up to full throttle while still in the harbor and 2) The power failures would not have altered the ship’s course. But it very clearly, and rapidly, turns. 🤷

Very good point. I’ve been wondering all morning if this was intentional and I am starting to think it was…

Watched the video multiple times. It sure looks like the “ drifting” vessel would have missed the bridge support entirely had it not made two separate course corrections to starboard (right) seconds before impact. Does anyone else see this?

I’m curious if the power system on the ship could have been hacked or some sort of wave could have been used to knock out the power.
