What is the estimated loss of life so far? It's hard to see how busy the bridge was at the time even with a warning.
There are 6 missing people, from the workcrew repairing potholes on the bridge.

And that's just the major ones. Ship could be cursed. Although I think after this one the ship will be retired.If I had a nickel for every time the Dali ran into something, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
Dali ship that collided with Baltimore bridge previously hit a port's wall
The container vessel had a collision incident in Belgium's port of Antwerp in 2016.www.newsweek.com
I mean, I keep failing that final Superpilots' test at the Panamaburgring, so I haven't unlocked the Edmund Fitzgerald.You hit one port and a bridge and your career is over.
I bet the center anchorage of the SF bay bridge could withstand that cargo ship hitting it at just about the speed of sound.Not sure anything protects against that kind of weight
I would take that betI bet the center anchorage of the SF bay bridge could withstand that cargo ship hitting it at just about the speed of sound.

Ah, Canal 34. You have to pass the 5th place boat before the 2nd lock and you have to be alongside the lead boat before you get to the final lock. Otherwise, just restart.I mean, I keep failing that final Superpilots' test at the Panamaburgring, so I haven't unlocked the Edmund Fitzgerald.
Seriously, the captain's going to have nightmares forever.
I don't care how many electronic navigational aids your ship has, if you lose all power, they're not going to do you any good.With the number of electronic navigational aids ships have, one must fathom how does this happen in this day and age.
Surely they have emergency generators for situations where a loss of power happens where, some systems work and you can drive the bow thrusters.I don't care how many electronic navigational aids your ship has, if you lose all power, they're not going to do you any good.
Might have tried that before the mayday call went out. It is hard to say. I wonder if they will require tugs further out into the harbor.Surely they have emergency generators for situations where a loss of power happens where, some systems work and you can drive the bow thrusters.
The men, who are now presumed dead, are from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Mexico, and were living in Dundalk and Highlandtown, according to our media partners at The Baltimore Banner.
Clearly, illegal immigrants collapsed the bridge.
And I'm pretty sure they were legal immigrants too. From what I'm reading, they were refugees who had been in the country for several years. Brawner, the construction group they worked for, is also very involved in government projects for the state of Maryland, and I have to imagine they wouldn't have been contracted had they been employing undocumented workers.I'm sure it will spin like that but it's so twisted. Immigrants dying while repairing our bridges being turned into scapegoats...
It's immigrants all the way down. Except for MTG. I'm not sure any country would have accepted her coming to their country for any reason.And I'm pretty sure they were legal immigrants too.

Still, conservatives are going to go bat 🤬 insane over it.
This was a huge bridge (the pictures don't make you realize the scale) .Was shocked to hear the news in the early morning hours.
I always used to get nervous when I used to drive over it, the fact the center span was only supported by two piers used to make me nervous. Mind you , I drive frequently over the Bay Bridge and Delaware Memorial bridge.
It's really Teresa Earnhardt they're going after. No one likes Teresa Earnhardt.Weird take to blame Dale Earnhardt Incorporated, but okay
Dale Earnhardt Incorporated?!?!
