  • The bridge can be rebuilt, the lives can not. Prayers to the families.
  • @maybee...
    So sorry for the families who lost their loved ones.
  • @darkraiking680
    The sheer disbelief in the fire fighter’s voice when he reported that the bridge was gone is stunning. I couldn’t imagine what that must have felt like, seeing a bridge there one second, and then completely gone the next.
  • @mb-ti3wn
    Sending prayers to Baltimore, especially the families of those lost. I say this with tears in my eyes.
  • Can you imagine being the first car in line that got stopped before getting on the bridge…or the last one to make it across safely? Crazy…
  • @lisahummel2237
    God Bless the deceased, their Families of the ones who are still missing.
  • @bluewhisper1876
    You never know when it is your time. People spend more time with family. You'll never get that time back. Prayers go out to all who were affected by this tragedy.
  • @ThePookie25
    I think that one reporter should not be smiling so hard while reporting on this tragedy.
  • @anirijoy7978
    What about the drivers of the cars that plunged into the water? How come nobody’s talking about them?
  • @bert1913
    That bridge collapsed like a deck of cards
  • @leokimvideo
    How can a major harbour like this with a massive bridge and giant ships operate without TUG boats, just seems unbelievable there are no TUGS
  • @onetruecasey
    A mechanical failure can still be a deliberate act of economic sabotage and should be investigated further.
  • @veeberlin9149
    Oh Lord please reveal the people that are still alive and allow them to be saved. Please be with the families of those who have passed away
  • @RichardPyne
    The federal government shouldn't pay one cent toward the rebuild. The ship's owner and insurance carrier should have to foot the bill.
  • @meghanmisaliar
    WHY IS REBECCA TURCO SMILING????!!!! Whats funny about this??
  • @therooster6104
    Prayers for the families of those killed 🙏🏼🕊️💞
  • @johnhackert2092
    It seems that the headline should read " bridge destroyed when a heavily laiden cargo ship navigating waters without a pilot on board suddenly went dark, changed course, rammed into and destroyed a critical inforstructure bridge killing several?" It didn't collapse by itself, it was destroyed.
  • @eddiebreaux9750
    Just curious, why is the reporter Rebecca Turco smiling during her report? It’s a very sad situation. She seems excited that she has the opportunity to report on a disaster.
