they were but not right before the bridge collapsed. I doesn't look like any vehicles are moving across the bridge before it collapsed. It kind of looks like there were some stopped vehicles though, but hopefully not.
Not sure if it was mentioned here yet, but the bridge is a toll bridge and I heard (not verified) that the harbor pilot on the boat recognized what was going to happen and radioed in to stop the bridge traffic. If true, he definitely saved more lives.

I haven't thought about that show in years. Used to be hilarious (at least I thought so) when I was younger. But then it got so political and just miserable

There was a video, a minute before it struck the bridge, a car racing across the bridge from left to right.

Baltimore is gonna have to do what Seattle does and get ferry ships to transport cars across the river. That bridge will take years to rebuild.
There are alternate routes that can be used....just going to be pain in the posterior traffic wise...
IMO the big thing is to get the channel open...I don't know where the closest very, very large capacity cranes are. Cut the wreckage into smaller bits and get it out of the way ASAP.

Could dropping anchor be the reason it turned into the bridge?

For a boat that size and being in the US, you still need local pilots on board to do the actual piloting, so not sure why this matters. Keep that W&J shite on the Poli Board.
And Singapore is not in Korea.

Walton & Johnson just confirmed it was a North Korean vessel.
Earlier reports had it flagged Singapore and bound for Sri Lanka?

Cut that bridge into pieces
It is their last resort

you're welcome

Sorry if this has been answered, but was the ship going with the current or against?

Anyone know where they can send the car carriers for the next couple of years? This is going to be a pretty big disruption for them.
Like someone said earlier, Savannah seems to be the most plausible. It's deep water and can handle all of the big ships.
Norfolk is an option also.

I’m currently in Savannah and have watched a few ships of that size come through up the river and at least half have escorts of some kind.
It's a deep water port. It can handle ships of that size.

Here's a good video of it. It's sped up but you can see the ship has no power. Cars traveling across the bridge. Lights come back on and a plume of black smoke from the smoke stacks as the engine restarts. Loses power again. Then comes back on before it hits the bridge.

The ship hit the bridge just before the Hawkins Point low tide of 2:13 AM. Little to no tidal movement.. barely creeping out in the same direction as the ship if anything.

I read somewhere it was a ship possibly from Yemen? Isn’t that our enemy so why would their ship be allowed here? Always a foreigner of some type.
Wherever you read that you should make note they just make things up. It is Singapore-owned, managed and flagged. Basically, all ocean-going cargo ships that come into US ports are foreign-flagged.

Man...the way it went, so quick.
If a foreign power ever really wanted to hit us, they could just hit our infrastructure in a few key places
We are doing that to ourselves, just in slow motion. We have 50,000+ bridges across the country that have been deemed structurally deficient.

And Dumb & dumber confirmed it was from Russia.
The Dali ship was built in South Korea. It belongs to Singapore-based Grace Ocean Pte Ltd, which is owned by a Hong Kong group.
Synergy Marine is the Singapore company that was operating the ship. It flies under Singapore’s flag & was sailing to Sri Lanka.
Absolutely nothing involving North Korea.

It is a key shipping lane but I believe if it was a terrorist attack they would have found a much more viable place to hit.
