Here’s a timeline of the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge on Tuesday after it was struck by the Singapore-flagged container ship Dali. All times are EDT:
01:04 AM (0504 GMT). – A fully loaded container Dali departs from the Port of Baltimore, bound for Colombo, Sri Lanka.
01:24 AM – According to the video captured by StreamTime Live, Dali slowly approaches the Key Bridge.
Maryland’s governor said the ship’s distress call allowed officials to restrict traffic on the Baltimore Bridge before the incident caused it to collapse.
As you can see in the video, the freighter lost power before impact, making it a horrific accident that was difficult to watch. pic.twitter.com/j1FRQ8FbK5
