#BREAKING: Mass Casualty has been Declared after a Large Container Singapore Ship Collides with Baltimore Bridge Causing it completely Collapse

Unlikely, it was constructed in the 1970s when China was 3rd world and their people lived in caves.
Yes it's a huge ship. But let it try bang our Benjamin Sheares Bridge lah. It will sink. Our bridge is solid, made of top quality concrete.
I read it was heading to Sri Lanka, so none of my business. Not my problem.Isn't anyone the least bit curious about what was being transported?
I suspect it is captained by Indian or Pinoy

It is also a great way to walk from the Suntec area to Tanjong Rhu But the F1 grandstand area is very messy now.
I've not tried walking on it, perhaps I will one day. It's a really a solid bridge!
In this case both pilot and captain will be arrested
Latest is that the collision is not intentional because the ship had lost power twice, becoming uncontrollable and had also sent out distress signals.

Normally, pilots are immune from Prosecution. As per Suez and Ever grand. Captain must take control when necessary.
This is a tofu bridge. I thought is existed only in China. It's about time this bridge is demolished and rebuilt.
That responsibility now goes to chief engineer.
Many may still be shock, but CRITICAL actions are needed:-
(A) Immediate -
1)dive teams & equipment be rushed to the area to save lives as cars & drivers had been reported to have fallen into the river.
2)Tow ships to be on standby to tow the ship back to port, with a berth reserved, to remove cargo once berthed than to have it sink & become a wreck later, after inspections.
3)Alternate routes across the bridge be quickly planned now by the Baltimore authorities before the morning traffic & snarls start. eg- ferry boats for passengers as well as for vehicles and even container trucks, with loading & unloading ports in the meantime.
4)Alternate SHIPPING route be planned now, as trade ships would be congesting, to & fro to Baltimore ports.
(B) Short term:-
1) Authorities must quickly draft out tenders for engineers & surveyors to determine the bridge's structural integrity, & to work out a realistic time frame, which may take months of not years, to repair the bridge, from emergency funds, & tenders for re-construction work.
2) Lessons must be learnt from this incident so as to prevent another such incidents, after inspection on cause of wreckage-future preventive measures.
When such major incidents happen, it is NOT a time to point fingers, play the blame games, wait for insurance claims, or each expecting somebody to do something but end up with nobody doing anything.
Trade, jobs & lives are dependent on right actions taken & it falls upon the Baltimore govt to take the initiatives.
