UPDATE: DHS and Coast Guard Say Cargo Ship that Struck Francis Scott Key Bridge Was Transporting 1.8M Gallons of Fuel and 56 Con...
Early Tuesday morning, the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, MD, collapsed after a cargo ship collided with a support column, causing the bridge to collapse.
Let me guess, the fuel is kerosine and the hazardous materials are the 30 tons of missing ammonium nitrate from that train a year ago.
The fuel is marine grade diesel the ship uses, and I’d wager most cargo ships carrying hazmat are carrying a lot worse than 30 tons of ammonium nitrate. I don’t see what’s abnormal about the fuel or the hazmat containers.
Good guess. A handy mega-bomb.
Anyone have ammonium nitrate on their bingo card? Be honest.
It was a cargo container ship, not an oil tanker. It was not transporting the fuel. That's what was in the gas tank.
Unbelievable numbers. I had no idea.
Those ships are generally in the 8,000- to 14,000-TEU range. Ships in that size range can carry between 2.5 million and 3.5 million gallons of fuel.

I don’t think most people understand even remotely how large these ships are. That bridge is colossal and it makes it look like a toy, they can dwarf the tonnage of the largest fleet carriers the US operate. Similar to trains, I’m starting to think people don’t realize the industrial quantities of hazmat that are transported around the world every second.
Were they trying to destroy the entire Chesapeake Bay? Horrific!!!
A mix of ammonium nitrate and HAZMAT would shut that port down for years, if detonated.
Did you see this w power going out on the ship twice before impact? https://www.instagram.com/reel/C4_OVfQON8r/?igsh=bjc3NThzZXk0dzRo
^^ 'of the 4700 containers on board the Dali, 56 contain hazardous materials and two are missing overboard. The ones that are in the water do not contain hazardous materials'
