=== Bridge Collapse Trauma (01:45) ===

[00:00:00]  People are presumed dead after the Baltimore Key Bridge collapsed.
[00:00:07]  How does a ship not have any alternate power?
[00:00:13]  If the main power goes out, at least power to be able to steer the ship.
[00:00:20]  Maybe not to move it, but to steer it.
[00:00:26]  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.
[00:00:46]  Not to mention the deaths and presumed injuries.
[00:00:51]  And the trauma, imagine you're just standing there and all of a sudden the bridge collapses and you're in icy water.
[00:00:59]  Well, 47 degree water is close to icy water.
[00:01:04]  It's certainly hypothermia.
[00:01:06]  As far as the body is concerned, it's freezing.
[00:01:11]  So at least 8 people.
[00:01:16]  What does it say here?
[00:01:17]  Six people dead.
[00:01:18]  At least eight people were thrown into the water.
[00:01:22]  The container ship lost power moments before it struck the Francis Gotkei bridge.
[00:01:28]  That's worthy of looking into.
[00:01:35]  I think that that's obvious.
[00:01:42]  Amazing stuff.
[00:01:44]  In the world.
