Livestream caught the moment a massive ship crashed into Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge and caused it to collapse
- A large ship crashed into a bridge in Maryland early Tuesday morning, causing it to collapse.
- A livestream captured the moment at 1:28 a.m. when the vessel appeared to strike a bridge support.
A YouTube livestream captured when a large ship struck a bridge in Baltimore, causing it to collapse in the water early Tuesday.
The vessel appears to approach a support beam of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which serves the I-695, at about 1:24 a.m. local time, according to video from StreamTime Live. The stream of the shipping channel is funded by Bay Area Mechanical Services.
In the video, the ship's lights turn off minutes before the vessel strikes the bridge. As the ship nears the bridge, the lights then turn back on.
The ship strikes the beam at about 1:28 a.m., and the bridge collapses in less than 10 seconds, with debris falling on top of the ship.
Here is a clip from the feed, shared on X by BNO News:
When BI reviewed ship-tracking data of the area at about 2:50 a.m. local time, a Singapore-flagged container ship, the Dali, was broadcasting its signal from beneath the bridge, surrounded by several Coast Guard-listed vessels.
The Dali's owner is listed as Grace Ocean, a Singapore-based firm, and its manager is listed as Synergy Marine Group, which is also headquartered in Singapore.
The ship is also listed as 300 meters long, or about 984 feet.
A Grace Ocean staff declined a request for comment from BI when reached by phone. Synergy Marine Group did not respond to calls from BI.
The bridge has been closed off because of a "collapse due to a ship strike," the Maryland Transportation Authority wrote in a statement on X on Tuesday morning.
The Baltimore Police Department told ABC News it had been "notified of a partial bridge collapse, with workers possibly in the water."
Representatives for the Maryland Transportation Authority did not immediately respond to a request for comment from BI.
