The crew of the cargo ship that struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore lost power and issued a mayday in the moments before the disaster, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said.

The container ship Dali sent the mayday in time for authorities to stop traffic from entering the bridge, limiting the number of vehicles involved in what officials have called a "mass casualty event."

"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.

Cargo ship was NOT piloted by regular crew--it was piloted by the local harbor pilots at the time. Most likely DEI/affirmative action types. Harbor is completely blocked for inbound and outbound deep water traffic for weeks or months now.

This is a major military supply/resupply port FYI.

Two major slow downs incoming, an Amazon distribution center is now cut off by shipping, and no more new car deliveries that come by the thousands.
