While this tweet is factual, be very careful with this account in general, is has turned from a good source to a very slanted and biased fake-news-accelerator.

#13The footage looks absolutely crazy - I hope people are safe.
Looking at the video there was little traffic at just that minute ... but sadly it does look like there was a road crew up there

#14You can look back on the livestream here to see the collision and collapse. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83a7h3kkgPg
Collision is at 1:28 EDT; you'll need to go back in the livestream.

It makes me wonder what goes through someone's head when one sees a mass casualty event like this, and your first instinct is to rush to Wikipedia to change the article to past tense ('was' a bridge).

There is a lot of misinformation in the world, and Wikipedia can often be one of the places people go to for reliable knowledge.
They probably will be getting more traffic than any single major news paper.
A lot of people, potentially scared and confused, and going to be reading that article and making decisions based on it.
Keeping the information good and complete sounds to me like a deep kindness.

The lights on the ship were going off and on, and it appeared to be smoking before hitting the bridge. Does not look like they had much control at the time.

#20This has been confirmed by local authorities: https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/26/major-bridge-in-baltimore-co... https://twitter.com/TheMDTA/status/1772524001815920876
As of right now, that page starts out with a photo of an entirely different bridge of the same name from Washington DC, quite confusing.

Edit: they removed the photo.
