    It also could be explained by mechanical failure.

      Report just released stating that the ship lost power prior to the collision.

      They’re calling it a mass casualty event, but no numbers on deceased/injured yet. Absolutely terrifying.

      Cannot imagine being on that ship, unable to stop, or being on that bridge this morning. Really hoping that there are some survivors, but given the time since the collapse, I think we’ll be hearing more about victims.

        With the ship barreling toward the bridge at “a very, very rapid speed,” authorities had just enough time to stop cars from coming over the bridge, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said.

          They rescued at least 2 people from the water according to NBC, one in serious condition, the other released at the scene. Looks like at least 6 more missing though.

      Aye, I’m reading that now. I grieve for all of those people involved. :(

A catastrophic failure is a sudden and total failure from which recovery is impossible. Catastrophic failures often lead to cascading systems failure. The term is most commonly used for structural failures, but has often been extended to many other disciplines in which total and irrecoverable loss occurs, such as a head crash occurrence on a hard disk drive. Such failures are investigated using the methods of forensic engineering, which aims to isolate the cause or causes of failure. (Wikipedia)
