How Does A Ship Lose Power?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
People are presumed dead after the Baltimore Key Bridge collapsed.
How does a ship not have any alternate power?
If the main power goes out, at least power to be able to steer the ship.
Maybe not to move it, but to steer it.
I have a feeling, and it may be appropriate, I'm not a big fan of instantaneous lawsuits, but to do this amount of damage, it's a key bridge, no pun intended, in Baltimore.
Not to mention the deaths and presumed injuries.
And the trauma, imagine you're just standing there and all of a sudden the bridge collapses and you're in icy water.
Well, 47 degree water is close to icy water.
It's certainly hypothermia.
As far as the body is concerned, it's freezing.
So at least 8 people.
What does it say here?
Six people dead.
At least eight people were thrown into the water.
The container ship lost power moments before it struck the Francis Gotkei bridge.
That's worthy of looking into.
I think that that's obvious.
Amazing stuff.
In the world.
