    Emergency call from ship allowed authorities to close bridge and save lives, Maryland governor says

    From CNN's Andy Rose

    An emergency call from the container ship gave officials time to begin closing the Francis Scott Key Bridge to vehicle traffic before the ship slammed into it, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said on Tuesday.

    “I'm thankful for the folks, once the warning came up and once notification came up that there was a mayday, who literally by being able to stop cars from coming over the bridge — these people are heroes. They saved lives last night,” Moore said.

     

     
     
     
     

     

    You can tell they did everything they could to get the ship to stop. These ships are monsters and getting bigger.

    Also, my winds today were not on the same level as some recent events. That I feel safe in saying.

    It was downslope wind so makes sense. I have no idea why they didn’t have Cumberland and dauphin in wind warnings because their discussion specifically said downslope winds would be 50-60 mph.
