Cargo Ship Issued Mayday Call Before Hitting Maryland Bridge
Spread The Viralist



The 95,000-ton container ship reportedly lost power and propulsion before accidentally veering into a pillar, triggering the collapse of Maryland’s Francis Scott Keys bridge. Dramatic video of the disaster shows the ship losing power for 30 seconds as it drifts toward the bridge. When power is restored it was too late to prevent the disaster. Maryland Governor Wes Moore says a mayday call from the container ship just before the impact alerted cops to halt traffic heading across the doomed bridge.
