"The vessel notified MD Department of Transportation that they had lost control of the vessel and an allision with the bridge was possible," the report said."The vessel struck the bridge causing a complete collapse."The ship crashed into one of the bridge’s supports, causing the structure to snap and buckle at several points and tumble into the water in a matter of seconds — a shocking spectacle that was captured on video and posted on social media.
