The Singapore flagged container ship DALI is the ship responsible for this disaster.

Classic cascade failure, I wonder if it was compromised to begin with, or if the design did not account for sectional integrity?

It appears from all of the diesel soot. They had it in full reverse at the last second.

Slow motion nightmare......

To educate myself more about the U.S. Maritime Industry, I often read and watch video blogs What's Going on With Shipping by Dr. Salvatore Mercogliano. A former licensed U.S. Merchant Mariner, Dr. Mercogliano teaches courses in U.S., World and Maritime History, Criminal Justice and Political Science at Campbell University, Buies Creek, NC. Dr. Mercogliano's videos are quite informative, without nonsense, and easy to understand for the average layperson.

Here are two videos that Dr. Mercogliano has posted within the last six hours of this posting about the Francis Scott Key Bridge collision.
