Cargo Ship Collision at Francis Scott Key Bridge: Electrical Issues Suspected

A former U.S. Army and Marine veteran speculates that the cargo ship that caused the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse likely experienced electrical issues, leading to the disaster. The ship sent out a mayday call, and despite the lead pilot's efforts, the collision with the bridge resulted in six construction workers' deaths. The incident has brought attention to the specialized role of harbor pilots and the challenges they face in maneuvering massive ships. The disaster could not be prevented, and the pilots likely could not have stopped the ship from crashing into the bridge.
