Don't know what to say, this feels like something straight out of a movie. Except it's real.
I couldn't find much about the ship and why it crashed into the bridge's pillar.
The owners of the Dali, a Singapore-flagged ship, confirmed in an emailed statement that the vessel had hit one of the pillars of the Francis Scott Key Bridge around 1:30 a.m. Eastern. All crew members, including two pilots onboard, were accounted for and there were no injuries on the ship, the statement said. The cause of the collision has yet to be determined, and the owners and the vessel's managers were cooperating with the authorities, according to the statement.
It's a rental. International waters transport can get confusing. Sometimes different flags are flown for tax and tariff reasons.I read this is a ship chartered by Maersk to a Danish company. Why the Singapore flag?????
Then why are they called hazardous???Coast Guard Vice Adm. Peter Gautier says hazardous materials aboard the damaged ship pose no threat to public safety.
Then why are they leaking out and the divers evacuated???But he says that the ship is stable and that authorities have determined there is no safety risk.
