A container ship rammed into a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to snap and plunge into the river below. Several vehicles fell into the chilly waters, and rescuers were searching for survivors.

    EDIT: this other video analysis shows it better, https://youtu.be/N39w6aQFKSQ

    • T-4 min: loses power, going at 8.7 KN, starts drifting off course
    • T-3 min: regains power, starts slowing down
    • T-0: impacts bridge, at 1.5 KN

    The video shows the ship losing power & all it’s lights going out prior to hitting the bridge.

    Not the video I’ve seen:

    Before crash

    Bridge falls onto ship

    After crash

    All lights on the ship seem to be on, except for the ones that… well, stop being attached to the ship.
