Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse

On Tuesday,Mar 26, 2024 The Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse at approximately 2:00 am. At that moment the cargo ship engine had lost power and at that time the captain of the ship tried to drop the anchor to slow down, but at that moment it was too late and the cargo ship had made contact with one of the bridge pillars, triggering it to collapse into the Patapsco River. Which caused the whole bridge to collapse within seconds. 

The water that night was between 46 and 48 degrees and poor underwater visibility, they say they did not believe they would find any of the workers alive.

  • Good topic choice Isaac! I do think your summary could be longer and you didn't reply to any student comments.

  • I think it is a very bad situation for the bridge falling and just the way the bridge fell with the ship hitting it. I think it will last way over 2 to 3 years to resolve the situation. along with it taking a very long time to get the bridge rebuilt

     

  • I think it is a bad deal that the bridge fell and I think it is even worse that a ship hit the bridge to make it fall. I think the investigation is going to last more than 2 or 3 years I think it is going to last 5- 10 years before it gets resolved.

  • I think it is pretty sad on what happend to the scott bridge. I think the investigations are going to take a long time, these investigations could take 5+ years. I think it would take a very very long time to rebuild. it is such a sad thing on what happend.

  • I think that the people on board could have done more to stop the boat instead of hitting the bridge. I think the investigation is going to be longer than 2 to 3 years because as time goes by information about the crash might come up. I think the bridge is going to take a long time to rebuild.

  • I think that the collapse of the Scott Bridge was a very sad thing that happened. The investigation could take a very long time if they aren't able to get all of the evidence that they need. It might also take a long time because there probably aren't many people to tell what happened, on the boat. I think that it will take a few years to rebuild the bridge.

  • It is a sad story, and unfortunate for any lives lost . I am not sure how long the investigation will go on for, I think it depends on how quickly they can find people and how much damaged was caused. Depending on certain factors it could take a few years at least to rebuild or fix the bridge.

  • I think that its a tragedy and very sad I believe the investigation is going to go on for a long time as people will want to find out how exactly it happened and to be able to find all the workers bodies as well as the people on the bridge at the time and people making speculations of the crash.

  • I think that the bridge collapsing was very unexpected and very sad for some people as some people were injured and even some killed. I think that there is a chance they are still looking at this incident in the near future. Im not sure how long it will take or even when they will start rebuilding it.

  • I think that the collapse of this bridge is a very sad and scary event. The investigation will probably take at least a year considering all the factors that contributed to the collapsing of this bridge. However, I don't think it's going to take very long to rebuild the bridge because of all the machinery and smart engineers that we have.
