    Eerie timing: It was just the anniversary of the Francis Scott Key bridge opening for traffic in 1977

    The timing of this Maryland Transportation Authority post was 3 days before the Francis Scott Key Bridge was hit by a boat and collapsed..

    Three days ago it was mentioned that it was the anniversary of the bridge being opened for traffic in 1977..

    The historical reminder post also mentions that the bridge stood in just about the exact same place where Francis Scott Key repeatedly saw the military bombardment that inspired  him to write the Star Spangled Banner..

    Videos of the event are exceptionally sad and scary. Those who lost their lives never saw it coming. Those who narrowly missed death undoubtedly  have a renewed fear or a new fear that they did not previously have.

    It is like Final Destination.. in real life.

    May those who died rest in peace ..

    Dramatic footage revealed.

    Baltimore is facing a possible “mass casualty” incident after a ship collided with the Francis Scott Key Bridge early Tuesday, causing the bridge to collapse and sending as many as 20 people into the frigid water, a fire official told CNN.

    Divers and search and rescue teams are looking for people in the Patapsco River after several vehicles are believed to have fallen into the water, including one as large as a tractor-trailer, said Kevin Cartwright, director of communications of the Baltimore City Fire Department..

    Null, the water is believed to be about 49° and is being controlled by a current rescue. Workers are apprehensive at the moment to go back into the water due to the darkness ans tide coming back in.

    In the meantime, this situation remains tragic and developing.
