I'm sure you've heard about the bridge that collapsed in Maryland, but let me give you a quick update on everything that's happened and what we can expect for the future.

This morning a stunning bridge collapse at the port of Baltimore.

Personnel on board the ship were able to alert the Maryland Department of Transportation.

This was the moment that a 32,000 ton container ship slammed into a steel bridge in Baltimore,

toppling the structure in a matter of seconds.

That they had lost control of their vessel, as you all know and reported.

As a result, local authorities are able to close the bridge of traffic before the bridge was struck,

which undoubtedly saved lives. So a little after 1.15 a.m. on the morning of March 26th, 2024, the container

ship Dolly was cruising down the Potopsco River.

That's part of the Baltimore Harbor, which is a major port, the 17th largest in the U.S.

So tons of ships come up and down the river from all over the world.

The Dolly was from Singapore and that night it was on its way to Sri Lanka.

It, like many other ships on the river, was supposed to pass under the Francis Scott Key Bridge. It spanned the

Potapsko running 1.6 miles from end to end, which should have been no big deal.

Ships sailed under this bridge all the time without incident.

But that night, at around 124 a.m. The Dolly's on-board alarms began to ring.

This meant there was something wrong with the ship, but the crew couldn't immediately figure out what the problem was, at least not entirely.

It was clear enough that the vessel had lost power, and without it, they couldn't steer or come to a safe stop. The crew began

running diagnostics to try and figure out what was causing the outage but they couldn't

uncover any useful information or get the engines up and running again.

They also tried to drop an anchor and it's not clear if they just didn't have enough time or

if the anchor didn't work fast enough.
