Dear heavenly Father, may the innocent bystanders driving on the bridge at the time of the collapse feel your compassionate rescue from those freezing waters Father. Infuse their bodies with your divine healing so nobody gets sick, nobody suffers with extreme ailments and nobody suffers catastrophically Father. Reveal yourself and your mercy and your love within the waters and beyond the waters to every affected individual Father. In Jehovah Rapha's name I pray! Amen 🙌🎚🐑🕊❤
People who have asked “what if the captain had a heart attack”… it shouldn’t ever matter. Captain isn’t the one with hands on controls even, and the rest of the crew should know what to do in that situation. The night was calm and the bridge was well lit.. something is up here
Praying for the people in Baltimore! 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Praying for all the people involved!
that water is cold pray for thoes n the water
God bring peace to this situation and to the families involved 🙏🏼 so sad
Something smells little fishy here guys. 🤔
Oh man this is so sad.
Ships are piloted through the Patapsco River. There are large concrete barriers in front of the bridge pillars! It appears that the ship lost power, and although it came back on fairly quickly, it couldn't correct course fast enough. There were workers on the bridge, too. They are still looking for 7 people. Sonar shows multiple vehicles under water. The ship did not sink.
Beware of the full moons!!!
О, боже!! Дай Бог , что бы все были живы. С поддержкой из России. Молимся.
So scary and sad! I hope that those in the water can be recovered safely! 🙏🏻
The bird in blue seems really happy about it. Why so smug?
Omg that’s so terrifying
It hit the bridge. Seems like the person didn’t know what they were doing or sleep/some kind of medical episode. You can see it wasn’t in the right position to clear the bridge. It hit one of the foundations…straight on. As slow as they were going how can you not see that coming.
God have mercy on the people involved. God bless then. Amen 🙏
Omg😮😢
damn submerge in your car under the water...
Jump to 44 seconds to see the bridge collapse. So sad.
They don’t even try to hide it anymore.
