  • how many people died? :(

  • This is the Chesapeake bay bridge. I would know. I saw this shit on the news plus I virtually live next to it.

  • I clicked on this because I thought this was going to be the bay bridge that connects san francisco to oakland

  • @reikiwhitelight me too...

  • it simply wasn't your time to go

  • ur very lucky!!!!

  • I know this is sad and everything but I hate when people put "In the Arms of an Angel" on sad things.

    It always makes me cry.

    Like that one commercial about animals being abandoned and abused, they played that song and it made me cry everytime.

    Thumbs up if you know what im talking about.

  • God bless those people ,, ,,

  • I disliked the video for plenty of bad reasons what a tradgedy...

  • This is just tragic. Those poor people . May God Bless you! I'm thankful you got past this minutes prior! Be thankful you didnt drive slower that day. You made a lovely tribute to those lost. May they RIP

  • I have to go across that on the way to Ocean City. I hate bridges, and Im soooo scared!! But Im excited to go through the tunnel!!

  • Comment removed

  • I live a few miles from the bridge, and I remember that day...I watch the video occasionally and I'm still very sad about it...you just never know..

    

  • This part of the bridge is always used as in the spring/summer as 2-way span. Instead of using the west bound lanes for the west bound traffic,they use one of the west bound lanes for east bound traffic.Theres not enough east bound lanes for all the traffic going to the Eastern shore/Ocean City,MD. They need to fix this problem!

  • @BurgNGold328 I could not agree more...Ocean City is way to popular for the entire route there to be a congested as it is!

  • Take away cell phones, alcohol, impatient people and mirrors for women to look at themselves and this stuff wouldn't happen

  • @SirRobbins I know plenty of men do the same thing.

  • Whooo, I am a Marylander before I moved to North Carolina, I remember the Bay Bridge growing up and came across this....Makes my heart cry, all this happen because a driver took short cut to hook trailer up to the truck???? MAN! Its very sad to hear 3 lifes were lost due to this.....I don't know but he/will get 3 manslaughter charges and gross negligence and WOW the insurance company gotta have a huge payout......I said take his revoke his License, He never get insurance again ...RIP to the 3

  • The guy that failed to properly hook his trailer is only partially at fault. ALL accidents are preventable, though once certain events are in place, it is unavoidable. Everyone should drive as if the car in front of them is going to come to a screeching halt at any time. We all take shortcuts with safety, whether it's neglecting the proper hookup or not leaving proper distance.

  • @j1hero This bridge should have been wider all the way across to carry the traffic. Looks like a dang bottle neck to me.

  • Rip randy and Jonathan

  • We should all be thankful that we are alive today and have sympathy for those who are not. R.I.P to all those in this tragic accident and may your families live their lives as if you were still on this Earth and keep you in their hearts.

  • That was my grandfather James ingle. I watch this every year just wondering why god took all of them. Their all in our memories:(<3

  • Thanks a lot for the video, very honorable thing, especially honoring two Orff firefighters, son and dad that were killed in this accident

  • Missed this by 4mins WHOA!!! This was well put together & presented. It was quite touching & know the families who lost loved one's would be blessed by it. May healing & peace be w/those who have lost beloveds in tragedies. And may we all be able to heal from seeing another soul suffer. God Bless You for making this video & sharing it w/us...!!

  • when I come down to Virginia from NY,I used to take that bridge back in the day...but now I drive the extra hour & take 64 into Virginia beach...Trust me! it's worth the piece of mind

  • bout to say if this guy was talkin bout the bay bridges in the bay area sorry this is not it

  • Comment removed

  • Randy and Jonathan Orff. My brothers in the firefighting community died in the accident this day. Randy was an amazing person. His son Jonathan was following in his footsteps as a Crumpton VFD member. To the family, I'm so sorry for your loss. You will always have a worldwide brotherhood here for you.

    Mentone Fire is 10-10.

    We'll handle the next alarm.

  • Good song, not cheesy or cliche in any way, shape or form

  • Thats why I get paranoid when driving in traffic. Stupid assholes can't be trusted. Thats what driving in populated places means. You have to trust them either wa y.

  • If u look at the picture with the man Ronald. u can see the red truck.. The car that him and his son were in when they died. Rip

  • I hope that bastard driving that rig burns in HELL!!

  • Very sad. I'm always terrified to drive across that bridge. I never want to allow anybody else to drive with my children on that bridge. It just freaks me out.

  • i remember that on the maryland bay bridge, i was on my way to ocean city when that happened, i was about 15 cars back from the accident alll i saw was the trailor come unhitched and a red truck hit it, but since cars were everywhere i couldn't see everything

  • That's a totally different accident. I remember that one and it didn't involve nearly the same amount of vehicles.

  • @mic62888 No it was maryland...I'd remember cause I was STUCK IN THAT TRAFFIC towing my boat from ocean city. When I heared what the cause of the accident was I ran out and checked my trailer to make sure it was hooked properly.... It was.

  • i was one of the recuers actually it was a sad moment to see those people but i forgot if any vehicles fell off and how did the accident happen

  • the story i heard was different.... someone fell asleep on the wheel... lost control and caused that?!?! wonder which story is true?

  • @Natiux1

    its confusing i know, the one when the driver fell asleep was in 2009. not in 2007. thats when he drove off the bridge and drowned but his passenger survived.

  • No... its in MARYLAND. I live here. I cross it daily. I'd know.

  • Comment removed

  • @Jvergakis YOUR THE FUCKTARD!! he was not talking about the bay bridge in VA. Hes was talking about the one that is in Maryland. There are two bridges that crosses the chesapeake bay dumbass!

  • Comment removed

  • @Jvergakis You know you can win the gold medal in the stupid olympics. He said the bridge was in maryland YOU HAVE 2 BRIDGES The Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland and The Chesapeak Bay Bridge Tunnel in Virgina. HE IS TALKING ABOUT THE FUCKING BRIDGE IN MARYLAND!! HOW DUMB YOU FUCKIN GET!

  • @llcoolsweetguy17 dude lay the fuck off my son for using my account I told him theres 2 bridges hes only 11 yrs old get the fuck over yourself really

  • it is in ca sf usa

  • No VA

  • Sorry anyone died.

    Who is the idiot who caused the problem?

    No safety chains if the hitch fails?

    Fatalities wearing seat-belts?

    What were the mechanics of their injuries?

  • You have cheated death that's for sure. I used to live in Potomac and I gotta tell you, when the fam and I would take a road trip I would always avoid that bridge whenever I could. I never had a good omen about it. Even as a kid myself that bridge scared the crap out of me. There isn't much room for error there.

  • you did truely a beautiful job on this! God bless!

  • that is so sad ):

  • i was driving when this happend in front of me. It was scary. so sad. Always pray before you leave to drive. Never say things you dont mean, you never know when somthing could happen.

  • If people didn't speed and tailgate, they might have had time to stop, but no, everybody with a fucking piece of shit Japanese car thinks that they are a race car driver.

  • @SuperJerkyBoys I agree with u with the Tailgating!!

  • Its the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in Maryland.

  • @mic62888 more like cheapskate bay bridge

  • @mic62888 the Chesapeake bay bridge is in virginia

  • that is not the Bay Bridge

  • Yes it is the bay bridge In Maryland I was there same day when it happend

  • father and son died?? sad

  • im in tears may god be in thes poeples heart

  • Who was the asshole who was too lazy to hook up his trailer correctly? I hope that guy got some prison time.

  • Comment removed

  • @orientrat I'll just let you know this...Trailers come un-hooked all the time, its not cause someone was lazy and didnt hook up his trailer correctly. There for its called an "accident". Happens all the time out on the roads. So that leaves me with the question...Why the FUCK would he get prison time for something he didn't mean to do? Its not like he woke up and said to himself..."I'm going to not hook up my trailer correctly and kill some mother fuckin' bitches on the highway today." RA-TARD!

  • @mrasmussen360 EVERYONE WHO VOTED UP ON orientray's COMMENT...BUNCH OF STUPID BITCHES.

  • @mrasmussen360 This trailer came unhooked because the operator got lazy & did not install the safety pin & used safety chains which were too long to be useful in the event of a break away. Gross negligence by the operator was the cause & 3 people died.

    And you want to give him a medal?

    The operator deserves to be removed from the gene pool. His entire family should be eliminated! Can't have those defects around! Since that is not allowed, 65 YEARS HARD PRISON TIME!

    Think about it, RA-TARD!

  • oh my gosh....may god be with these people and their family...

  • This happened on my birthday and my family was taking me to a restaurant and this accident happened right behind us and I keep thinking: if I took 20 seconds longer to brush my teeth we couldve been in that

  • that is so crazy!! lucky

  • @colts18fan51095 12-16-08 a lady pulled out in front of me, seconds would've made a difference that day too! But, life doesn't work that way.

  • @mandtconstruct I know what you mean if you ever get in a car crash you think and go wow if I would have taken a couple more minutes to put on my shoes i wouldnt be here

  • did he died?

  • I know this one was caused from the trailer...but so many drive like mad people over that particular bridge....I sigh in relief everytime I make it over...

  • I hate this retarded song

  • i remember when this happened. I was driving home from salisbury and saw the wreck on the other side. worst one ive ever seen. god be with the victims and families.

  • people lost their lives and ur worried bout tha song....i may be 12 years old but i cried when i seen this..i cried for 1hour jus thinkin bout this video.i'm not tryna start anything ok.i'm just sayin

  • ...

  • DullardGuy FUCK YOU ASS BREATH! forget the song look what happen asshole

  • two firefighters died in that crash ass hole...

  • sad...very very sad man....really bad tragedy. u r lucky man but not lucky for all three people. true sympathy for them. u can't predict abt ur life whether u r rich or poor.

  • very sad... a tragedy.

    Who's singing this song ?

  • Very Sad.. That is Sara McLachlan - In the arms of the angels

  • As much as i hate to say this, but with only 3 killed, it looks (and could have been) worse than it was. I remember in 1988, when an out of control field burning swept across I-5 just south of where i live. caused a 23 car pile up. 8 people were killed (most burnt alive), while 38 others were injured. My Dad was in that one, and somehow made it out unscathed. But that being said, RIP to the dearly departed, and may peace find their loved ones.

  • @salemcripple That's my biggest fear, myself or a loved one burning to death in a car crash!!! There's a State Trooper here, hit & run, he burned to death, the fucking punk is on the run..SCARY SHIT!

  • @Kammerz10 Agreed! that or being drowned is something that i wouldn't want anyone to go through, loved one or not. Such a horrible way to die.

  • @fearthegeckotoo ur an idiot go leave ur negative comments somewhere else asshole!!!!!!!

  • yeah i remeber that, i live in annapolis and it was backed up all the way there, 13 miles,, always remember to PIN YOUR SHIT, douche

  • Maryland authorities investigating the accident did find that Burt had indeed failed to secure his trailer to the vehicle hitch with a safety pin and utilized chains that were too long for the tow. However, they declined to press any charges against the driver as there aren't any laws on the books regarding (im)proper vehicle towing in Maryland. They figure that the homemade trailer came loose while bouncing over the joints on the bridge span.

  • This accident occurred on the westbound Chesapeake Bay Bridge near Annapolis, MD on May 10, 2007. The span was in two way traffic operation. A trailer being towed by a Lincoln Navigator operated by Stephen Burt of Bethesda was NOT LOCKED by pin to the vehicle and broke loose. Vehicles behind the trailer swerved to avoid it, crossing over the center line and causing three deaths (including a father and son) and multiple injuries. Lawsuits are filed against the MdTA and Burt over the crash.

  • did anyone get hurt?

  • i remember this my parents were stuck in trafic for like 4 hours and that was like 2 or 3 hours after the crash

    I can't believe someone gave you a thumbs down for asking a reasonable question.

  • dont put bad comments up there...its very sad to see these tragic accidents and there were alot of people who died and 1 man survived AND walks away and almost all the other people were dead.

  • lol was a emo song

  • What happened to the trailer that came loose. Anyboby know? It did not show where that trailer went.

  • It went flying off the bridge into the bay. I sent you a link of what it looked like in a personal message.

  • i was there in front of it when it happen

  • oh suuuuuuuuure

    Reply to DemonREC1995 who said he was there infront

  • Shouldn't you say there was 5 injuries and 3 deaths? It sound weird the other way. Still sad when people die like that.

  • its not the worst accident on the bay bridge

  • I wish people wouldn't so thoughtlessly put music to the background of these videos. CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE!!­!!!!!!!!!!

  • shit man.if i ever go to SF this is gonna give me nightmares of going on the bay bridge iwent last night an im gonna go to SF next thursday for a giants game.But thats sad sorry bro.

  • This is the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

  • you must feel horrible because you were on the bridgde 4 minutes before, you must've wanted to take the place of one of them, and one've the one's killed, while alll of us who watched it on tv, we feel sad and remorseful on that day while u were nearly killed, we were in our nice and cozy homes. I feel bad for you man, seriously. I would trade lives with you instantly. NOT JOKING

  • thieses was not thet wrose then 911 U.S WAS AUTTCD O.K

  • everytime there's a sad video, its mixed with this song, and by the way what its called the song?

  • arms of an angel i think

  • Angel

  • dang i never knew that happened. I remeber when there was just one bridge.

  • THE worst bridge ever and whoever they got to repave the west bound side I wouldn't let them repave my god damn driveway!

  • this crash was horrible. ivestigators couldnt figure out how the cars got so mangled going only 70. they said that the one sedan and the red truck has damage matching 130mph crashes.

  • Best Video ever! So much suspense as the red words slowly appeared on screen...not. I think I almost cried though. :p

  • two of the 3 people who died were firefrighters RIP

  • can see the bridge from my house, this is really close to home

  • only 3 people died! i was thinking like 40 50 or something but RIP :(

  • my great grrandma was it that. at first i thought she was going to be ok, but then i got the sad news that she died. the horribly sight at the funeral, and this sight of the tragedy was dispickible. my mom cried for 3 days. my sister was going to visit her and was hopping to meet her at her appartment, my sister nor my great grandma was never seen. my sister heard of the news, she cried with my mom, i was at home when this happened. im extremely sad this happened. this was a sad day

  • that's an awful thing that happened...and it's really awful knowing that could have very well been you. The Bay Bridge is intense and fast paced....and when something like this happens, there is no where to go...what would you do, you know? :(

  • I know my idea is ridiculous AND WOULD COST MILLIONS BUT THEY NEED TOO INSTALL SHOULDERS

  • damn i live like 10-15 minutes from there hella sad man

  • Who gives a damn about the song-this video is for the heros who died in the midst of the unfortune... God Bless all

  • This song is too original thts the song of the ASPCA crap

  • i live around there

  • yeah right

  • i am a firefighter and i got out to the bridge

  • I am a firefighter and was dispatched to this but i was on vacation in delaware.

  • wtf, its the maryland "chesapeke bay bridge" not any other bridge.

    Its not double decker. Its 2 lanes to the eastern shore and 3 coming back towards annapolis.

    This was certainly a sad day.

  • agreed. Fuck every video with this song in it.
