Skyway Bridge at night. :: (Tampa Bay Waterfront Life and Beaches)

“The textures of the world are an outline of the infinite. [Wallace] Stevens said, or at least I seem to remember that he said, the thing seen becomes the thing unseen. He also said that the reverse way was impossible. [Theodore] Roethke wrote that all finite things reveal infinitude. What we have, and all we will have, is here in the earthly paradise. How to wring music from it, how to squeeze light out of it, is, as it has always been, the only true question. I’d say that to love the visible things in the visible world is to love their apokatastatic outline in the invisible next.” 

— Charles Wright, from an interview by J.D. McClatchy “The Art of Poetry XLI,” Quarter Notes: Improvisations and Interviews (University of Michigan Press, 1995)

The crew of a massive container ship that crashed into the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday warned of power issues before the collision, which caused the bridge to collapse into the frigid Patapsco River, officials said.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said the warning from the ship’s crew likely saved lives.

“We’re thankful that between the mayday and the collapse, that we had officials who were able to begin to stop the flow of traffic so more cars were not on the bridge,” Moore said. He called those officials heroes.

Moore noted that the bridge was up to code at the time of the collapse. He said the collapse was a “shocking and heartbreaking” event for the people of Maryland who have used the bridge for 47 years.

#i was in dc this weekend for a funeral #we bounced over to baltimore to visit some family friends from childhood #i drove over that bridge twice!! #francis scott key bridge #baltimore #bridge collapse #baltimore bridge #glen burnie #i dont think it was an infrastructure problem #but if oversized cargo ships can gain that much momentum #then maybe they should be required to come to a complete stop #prior to going under a commuter bridge #that or maximum ship size requirements by bridge #or maybe use tugboats?? #it seems more like a regulation issue #and yes - even if it was an accident #someone still needs to be held accountable #or it may happen again #a very similar incident happened in my hometown #i think about 4 or 5yrs before i was born #sunshine skyway bridge

watching the news while knowing a good bit about history and also things like natural and man-made disaster will really have you go "oh, hey, I've seen this one before" with frightening regularity

#is it bad that my first instinct upon seeing the key bridge collapse was #oh this is just like the sunshine skyway bridge collapse of 1980

Listening to a podcast episode cuz it's talking about the history of one of our ridiculous bridges, specifically the bridge that pre-dated this one, which collapsed. Our response to this bridge collapse? Build a bridge so fucking big the boats have no risk of taking out the pillars:

We were genuinely like. Okay what if we make it tall and also put it on so so so so many supports

1980- Sunshine Skyway Bridge collapse.

In Florida, United States, Liberian freighter MV Summit Venture collides with the Sunshine Skyway Bridge over Tampa Bay, making a 1,400-ft. section of the southbound span collapse. Thirty-five people in six cars and a Greyhound bus fall 150 ft. into the water and die.

A 1976 Buick Skylark belonging to Florida resident, Richard Hornbuckle, rests where it skidded to a stop just 14 inches from the edge of the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, which was struck by a freighter on May 9, 1980.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was struck by a cargo ship at 1:30 AM and collapsed. (video of the hit and the collapse in the link)

A small plus side - it’s the middle of the night on a weekday, so fewer cars would have been on the bridge. It could have been so much worse than it currently is, even though what it is is VERY bad. The Sunshine Skyway bridge only went partly down. That whole thing is GONE.

That said, there’s something noticeable different from the Sunshine Skyway collapse - no fog. From that video, aside from it being night, it doesn’t look as though anything would have obstructed the view of the crew. But it’s early yet, and everything’s speculation.

Here’s hoping by some miracle everybody makes it out alive.
