….’At least seven people are believed to have fallen into the water. The collapse has been called a "developing mass casualty" by an official at the city's fire department.’…

Yes,
Massive Cargo Ship Bangs into it
on the left hand side of the video of Ammi's tweet.

SkyNewsHD
found out the bridge was being worked on.
So many lanes were closed.
Around 7 workers in the water.

Quite incredible footage. I wouldn't think even a ship that size colliding into it would be enough to make the bridge completely buckle like that

Yes it was a Massive Cargo Ship

…the ‘up to 20 in the water’ is also because of construction workers who were doing maintenance work on the bridge at the time…it’s obviously still a developing story as the rescue workers are assessing it all…just all incredible, really….

…really fortunate if it was that the bridge was quiet with vehicle traffic at the time…I don’t know if that’s the case but hopefully it wasn’t at a more busy time of the day….

Is that an earthquake zone? That's the only reason i can think of for it to be as flexible as that

…Arista, you are so precise about accuracy and truth and yet you randomly post such a thing that you have no idea about…it may have been the same ship involved in that minor incident but it was 8 years ago and we have no idea as to any of the crew at that time or their roles etc…

Poxy sub contractors - no good



["We can confirm that the container vessel “DALI”,
operated by charter vessel company Synergy Group,
is time chartered by Maersk and is carrying
Maersk customers’ cargo."

It adds that no Maersk crew and personnel were
onboard the vessel.

"We are closely following the investigations
conducted by authorities and Synergy,
and we will do our utmost to keep
our customers informed."]

Here is another view of the ship. It's huge and will have a ridiculous weight on board. It's impossible to manoeuvre something like that quickly

That thing sends a chill down my spine. As a really odd and specific phobia I have - "big things + water" is a major (irrational??) fear. Whales for example, DISGUSTING. So this thing... it's so massive. The weight & momentum it would have is just unfathomable and it's not actually surprising that it could completely demolish a bridge.
